Crowns of Valor - Bold Leaders Arise! - by Justin R Woods (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Modern Christianity in the United States is facing a crisis: the absence of leadership development.

Despite its long history of Christian worship, Christianity in the US is in desperate need of revival from years of reaping shallow fruit in the areas of Bible study, evangelism, and leadership production.

Crowns of Valor serves as a reference manual for both activity and doctrine for the five-fold church leadership model the apostle Paul recorded in Scripture.

Through exploring the 5 Crowns of Reward and developing his 5S Cleanup framework, author Dr. Justin R. Woods has identified five activities every church needs to engage in. Churches that follow this framework will receive three fruits: a distinct biblical Christian culture, a maturity that advances young people into the next generation of leaders, and a guard against neglect or false teaching.

Too many churches waste energy on virtue signaling or empty busywork--efforts for which Christ promises no reward. Crowns of Valor advocates swapping this facade for what matters: studying Scripture, serving the body, suffering for the gospel, sharing faith, and shepherding the flock.

It outlines simple activities everyone can understand, do, and share in Bible studies and small groups so they will know their purpose, draw strength from Jesus's wisdom, and mature into leaders shaped by the Holy Spirit--guided by truth, not deception.

The chapter of cozy American Christianity has closed. Churches must return to the timeless wisdom of their Creator. Crowns of Valor delivers that vision--if church leaders will seize it.
