His name is Solomon--the third ruler of Israel and the second son born to King David and the beautiful Bathsheba . . . Why is it that Solomon has spanned the centuries as an icon of the faithful? What are the keys to his amazing success as a leader of people and as a servant of God?

These are the questions which this book seeks to address."" --from the Introduction Samuel, building upon his own experience as a pastor of a mega-church, shares Solomon's four keys of leadership found in 1 Kings: -Wisdom: 1 Kings 3:4-13 -Work: 1 Kings 5:1-18 -Worship: 1 Kings 8:1-11 -Witness: 1 Kings 10:1-9 Samuel uses a biblical model from several different versions of the Bible to help clergy and other church leaders understand the dynamics of good leadership so they can become more effective leaders and help to grow their congregations.
