This is a book describing findings from the study of eight Christian leaders who finished well. The concept of a focused life is developed from comparative study of the eight. Four focal elements are defined (life purpose, effective methodologies, major role, ultimate contributions). The reader can analyze his/her own life and describe these same components. The manual gives numerous leadership insights gleaned from the lives. Leaders studied include: Simeon, Gordon, Brengle, Morgan, Jaffray, McQuilkin, Mears, Maxwell. Leadership Emergence Theory is the framework for viewing these leader's lives.
