Publisher's Synopsis
BY A LEADER FOR LEADERS
The devotions in Called to Lead: 52 Weekly Devotions for Workplace Leaders were forged, tested, and found true through the lives of the leaders served by this author. These devotions are written for smart, hard-working, no-nonsense workplace leaders who are looking for something solid to help you improve your leadership.
If you are looking for a devotional to simply warm your heart or cram more Scripture between your ears, find another book.
If you are eager to close the gap between the leader you are and the leader God created you to be, humble enough to recognize that you could use some help, and willing to try a proven approach, invest a few minutes each week with this book pondering the intersection of your life and leadership and God's Word. We think you'll be glad you did.
"Ignore the thick heavy books. Pick up this treasure chest of wisdom with hundreds of priceless nuggets on practical biblical leadership. John Crosby has hit a home run with 52 weekly singles that we can chew on one small bite at a time."

Jim Smith, Business Leader & Friend
John Crosby left a promising future with an established family business to join the ministry. His business success provides him a unique perspective that allows him to teach and apply biblical principles to everyday workplace situations. Every business leader could benefit greatly from his teachings.
Walter Lewis, Business Leader & Friend
With God's blessings, I had the opportunity to rise to the very top of the Georgia State Senate as President Pro Tempore and, ultimately, to be a candidate for Governor. I have read dozens of leadership books throughout my career in politics, but only a few reinforced the critical skill sets needed with scripture. True leadership must be modeled on the brief, but powerful, example offered by Jesus Christ and based on the Word of God. Called to Lead by John Crosby should be on the desk of every leader who seeks to effectively serve his or her spiritual calling with wisdom and humbleness.
May God bless this effort!
Eric Johnson, FAIA President
I have known John Crosby since the day he gave his life to Christ. Since then he has made a life-changing impact for Christ because of his commitment to ministering to people in the business sector of our community. I'm sure as you read this book his insight will impact you as well.
