S2E4: Hand Me Another Brick by Charles Swindoll

***THIS IS A FAITH-BASED BOOK.*** I personally don't like disclaimers, but I want to give you a fair warning in case your leadership and your faith don't mix.  This book is based on the account of Nehemiah the cupbearer and his leadership journey to rebuild the wall. There are distracting enemies, strategic movements, wise responses, and of course navigating communication with the people. There are lessons on competent leading, diligence, wisdom, faith, and finishing strong. If you are not a person of faith, but you can appreciate the principles, then try this book out. If you are a person of faith, consider a small group study and discussion of the principles in this book. The process of leadership is emphasized in this book -- how one builds character development toward improved leadership, and how one learns to lead.  The title is explained by Dr. Swindoll in the very early pages. "Good leaders are made, not born; they are built, shaped, and tested by God -- brick by brick -- over time."
