About the Book:
Book: Leaders, Nations, & God
Author: Marta E. Greenman
Genre: Non-Fiction, Christian Bible Study
Release Date: September 19, 2013
“LEADERS, NATIONS, AND GOD invites readers to a six-week journey to explore the Bible’s message for the nations of the world, their leaders, and for Christians who live as citizens of those nations. By focusing on the biblical history of Israel and the United States, the reader discovers the nature of true, faithful leadership and the consequences when a leader compromises, as well as the sorts of nations that God may bless. Marta E. Greenman helps readers understand how scriptural principles apply to nations and to individuals alike.
By asking and answering these questions, the paths of humble obedience for individuals and nations become clear.
Each day’s study begins by encouraging the reader to write their prayer before they begin to examine the biblical history of Israel and/or the United States. The reader gathers insights from scripture to bring understanding of God’s ideal for nations and leaders. Questions dig deeply into lessons from the Bible, history, and the influences on one’s own life. Each day’s study comes with highlighted “Questions to Ponder” and ends with prayer.
If you find yourself drawn to explore God’s will for nations and individuals, if you wonder what biblical obedience might look like in your daily life, then Leaders, Nations, and God will meet your need for a study grounded in the Bible and focused on God’s desires for His people.”

My Review:
This in-depth look at leadership is a six week, five days per week study. For four days each week the author presents both positive and negative examples of leaders in the Bible: Abraham, Jacob, Joshua, David, Solomon, King Uzziah, Manasseh, and King Nebuchadnezzar. One day each week, she focuses on the leadership characteristics of a historical leader such as George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. This study is full of questions to answer; things to ponder; and helpful charts. But the main focus is reading Scripture passages to see what can be learned about leadership from the Bible.
There’s quite a bit of interesting historical information that the author Includes throughout the whole study that adds for great discussion and application. This would be a great study for a Bible study group or Sunday School class.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

More from Marta
What a profound statement made by George Santayana, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” As Christians we need to learn those who have gone before us. In Leaders, Nations, and God we look at the history of the Children of Israel and America’s Founding Fathers to become men and women who understand the time and know how to navigate the troubled waters of today. We look at questions like “Who does God consider to be a leader?” What kind of nation does the Lord bless?” “Did America’s Founding Fathers really set up our country on Judeo-Christian values?”

On a show we’re watching right now, a character made the quote that “Loyalty is a consequence of leadership.”
