Review “One of the major voids in our present culture is healthy leadership. In his new book How to Become a More Effective Leader, my good friend Johnny Hunt vividly explains how you can effectively influence others to live abundantly in a purposeful, Christ- like manner. This is a book for our time!”-Steve Gaines, PhD, pastor, Bellevue Baptist Church, Memphis, TN“Johnny Hunt, having earned the title of the pastor’s pastor, relates from his vast practical experience the essential elements of godly leadership. Rather than repeating cliches and platitudes, he describes and details the important process of answering the call to leadership in today’s culture. The characteristics put forth are thoughtfully enumerated; the path to true godly leadership is plainly described. God will use this book and its author to inspire and instruct the leadership of tomorrow, something for which our world is hungry.”-Sonny Perdue, governor of Georgia, 2003-2011“Johnny Hunt has been an effective leader for decades. In How to Become a More Effective Leader, he shares his personal insights and wisdom for this important assignment. Many will be blessed by his godly and practical counsel.”-Daniel L. Akin, president, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Wake Forest, NC“One of the best books I’ve read on leadership with a strong emphasis on vision and influence. A profound, refreshing book that only a person who walks the talk could have written. Johnny has given us a classic on leadership that will inspire the rookie leader and veteran leader alike. It is amazing that so much wisdom is packed into so few pages.”-Steve Cannon, owner/president, Steve Cannon Insurance & Financial Services Agency“As a church member, accountability partner, Sunday school teacher, and in leadership in several positions under Pastor Hunt’s ministry for thirty-plus years, I personally learned to be a better leader having witnessed Pastor Hunt live before me the principles found in this book and then applying them to my life. Whether one leads in a secular workplace or in a church-related position, one can become a more effective leader by applying one or all of the principles covered in this well-written and well-lived book.”-Dr. John D.
