Makers of Fire: The Spirituality of Leading from the Future

By Alex McManus

When humans first discovered fire, they changed their world and ours. Makers of Fire is about embracing this heritage and stepping up to our role as creators of the future. As our species matures and reaches out to touch the stars,what do we take and what do we leave behind? In other words, as we turn towards the 22nd century,how can we create the future we prefer? Makers of Fire explores provocative ideas such as... How can we navigate our culture of rapid change? Is it possible to influence what happens tomorrow? What guidance do our spiritual resources offer for leading from the future? What can Cain and Abel, Abraham, and Jesus teach us about leading from the future? Somewhere in our evolutionary past, people unleashed their creative genius and discovered fire. They somehow learned to bring together the three necessary ingredients of fuel, oxygen, and heat. Using the Triangle of Combustion as the model, author Alex McManus layers the "Triad of Fire" with two other layers. The first layer, the "Triad of Leadership,"explores the three ingredients needed to lead from the future. The second layer, the "Triad of Change" explores three elements of social change. The structure of the book naturally falls into three parts -- Fuel, Oxygen, and Heat -- which allows the reader to easily follow the story the author tells. Order you copy and join author Alex McManus on a journey through a galaxy of ideas and get ready to make fire.
