Jay Brinson has served in Arlington, TX.  I have counted him a cherished friend for over four decades.  His book, “iLead: How to Influence People Like Jesus,” is a concise, clear and challenging.  It is brief enough to be read in one sitting, and profound enough to be the object of study over weeks and months of time.  The principles are simple, strategic and easy to understand.  He shows that Christian leadership is learning to value people, treat them with kindness and being redemptive with mistakes.  It a call to integrity, encouragement and team building.  The principles will, when applied, help each leader become more like Jesus!

How an individual makes it through this life will be based almost entirely upon how you communicate and deal with the people.  My friend Jay Brinson has written a most helpful and much needed book on this subject.   It greatly pleases our Lord Jesus Christ when his servants use those principles and methods that he gave us and that are emphasized in “How to Influence People Like Jesus”. It will bless your life and in turn those you have relationship with. This book needs to be in the hand and heart of every Christian worker.

Great leaders inspire, recruit, confront hindrances and treat people like family.  Jay Brinson does a masterful job of showing us these traits and more from the original source:  Jesus.  Learn how Jesus connected through the use of metaphors, parables, hyperbole, dialectic questions, aphorisms and pathos.  Take some time alone or take some time with the interactive small group questions, sit at the feet of the Master, and learn from ten principles in iLead.

I just read Dr. Jay Brinson’s new book, “iLead-How to Influence People Like Jesus.”  What a wonderful book to inspire and provide principles for personal leadership based on the Biblical record of How Jesus influenced people.  The book contains may apt quotes and biographical stories of outstanding leaders such as:  Billy Graham, Dr. Ben Carson, Coach John Wooden, Coach Bobby Bowden, Chuck Colson, Paul Harvey, Ronald Reagan, and others.  This book inspire you and give you great principles to help you become an influential leader in your family, church, business, and community.
