How (Not) to Be a Tyrant Ten Lessons on Life and Leadership from the Bible’s Worst Rulers Joshua W. Jipp A biblical scholar offers ten lessons on life and leadership, showing us how not to be a tyrant like the wicked rulers in the Bible but instead to exert positive influence in whatever settings we find ourselves in. “This book addresses a pressing need in Christian spaces: an honest look at the leadership patterns problematized by Scripture.
