Book Synopsis: �Servant Leadership: A Paradoxical Truth� is an inspirational story about someone who endured ridicule and poverty during his adolescent years, but continued to persevere and overcome obstacles to become a successful leader who serves with passion. Sometimes the term �servant leadership� carries a negative connotation but this story provides an educational journey from humble beginnings and gives the reader a futuristic view of New Beginnings! Regent University�s motto, �Christian Leadership to Change the World� is fundamental to all who aspire to become leaders in a globally competitive environment. However, the process begins with followers who are teachable and willing to serve for a greater good as demonstrated by Jesus Christ: �The Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve� (Mark 10:45a, NLT). Training is an important aspect as seen throughout history which has been an integral factor for transforming individuals and developing followers into effective leaders. The development of leadership skills is a never-ending process (Engstrom, 1976).
