This book is about leadership. It is, in fact, about the greatest leader model who ever lived. Ken Blanchard and Phil Hodges were the first to encourage us to follow Jesus as the ultimate example of leadership for all purposes. Theodore Mistra applied this principle to his own career and learned that even an executive’s highest calling is to become just such a shepherd leader. In The Shepherd and His Staff Mistra illustrates what the Bible reveals about the key principles and practices to becoming a shepherd leader. He shows that the shepherd as a leadership calling, role, and responsibility has equal force for both men and women. He asks us to remember that leadership applies to any person who has authority or influence over another person and that this influence is always to be used to glorify God whether in the home, church, schools, business or government.
As a man of faith, at the prime of life, having achieved all the life goals he once set for himself and convinced the best is still ahead, Theodore Mistra had been hearing God’s ‘whisper’ that the next twenty years would be his best- the most productive, the most meaningful, difference-making years of his life. But now with a doctor’s devastating news that he had prostrate cancer Theodore suddenly encounters a momentary flash of fear and confusion about that bright future. He recalls how he realized immediately that he had an important choice to make. “He could live in fear of his future, or he could live in faith.” He chose faith! Surrounded by Angels is his inspiring story, told in a series of journal entries and strong reflections, of one man’s battle against life-threatening cancer and how he faced this formidable foe head-on, with traditional and alternative medicine, fervent prayer, Scripture reading, and strong hope. His candid journal entries portray how God brought an unlikely sequence of angels into the author’s path, along with kind-hearted people who ministered comfort and practical help.
