Welcome!
This site is dedicated to exploring leadership through the lens of the Bible, inspired by the book by Arjan Zantingh. Here, you can learn more about the book, my journey as a leader, and even read a sample to get a first impression.
About the book
Originally published in Dutch by Jongbloed Publishers, the book is now available in English and may soon be translated into Spanish. It delves into the timeless principles of leadership found in the Bible—principles that remain relevant across generations, unlike much contemporary management literature.
Why Leadership Lessons from the Bible?
The Bible has profoundly shaped my own journey—from nonbeliever to believer and from business economist to senior pastor. Its truths are not only spiritually powerful but also deeply applicable to leadership today. Leadership is about influence, but healthy, effective leadership is sorely needed in a world struggling with moral failures, disconnection, and outdated practices.
This book explores how leaders can develop a visionary, inspiring style of leadership that fosters thriving teams and flourishing organizations. It emphasizes the importance of avoiding common pitfalls while celebrating the beauty and power of leadership grounded in strong values and faith.
A Journey through the Bible’s Leadership Wisdom
The book originated from a series of leadership nights I hosted at church, designed to equip leaders with biblical insights. I discovered that every book of the Bible offers timeless lessons that are directly applicable to leadership in both faith-based and secular contexts.
Spiritual Leadership for All Contexts
True leadership—whether in the church or in society—should flow from a life rooted in faith and a relationship with God. This book is for anyone who sees the Bible as their guide to developing healthy, impactful leadership in any setting.
