New movements in the Kingdom of God are either promoted by men or are an organism created by the Spirit of Christ. Man has formed many structures created to defend doctrines, organization formats, etc. Some of these are church-based and some are simply castles standing among the Para church groups, built by men who seek personal significance by forming a structure often named after themselves. Bill Beckham has painstakingly evaluated current movements existing around the world today. The reader will be encouraged to evaluate his or her commitment to the various models presented. Those who seek to manipulate “groups for growth” will find in Bill’s chapters a new paradigm, one as old as the book of Acts, presently being restored for the Last Days witness.

There have been many books on leadership, but here at last is one that actually draws on the wisdom of those in the know. Acting on his belief that you get the most done in the first twenty minutes of a meeting, Allan Leighton invited Britain's top businessmen and women to spend just twenty minutes talking about their views on leadership. And he has talked to an astonishing range of them - the established giants such as Philip Green and Rupert Murdoch; the new generation of leaders, such as Andy Hornby at HBOS and Justin King at Sainsbury; and entrepreneurial figures who include James Dyson and Gulam Noon at Noon Foods. He has gone further too - interviewing the nation's top financial journalists, whose views can help make a company soar or sink; the money men, whose support is critical for investment and acquisition; the politicians, who help create the climate in which businesses can thrive or falter. The result is a fascinating, 360 degree view of what it takes to be a business leader in today's cut-throat global economy - thought-provoking, often surprising, always insightful.
