While books and articles on leadership abound, most of them are written by "successful" men who look at the world through the lens of a Western business model. The standard for success is based on the bottom line--financial growth in both the personal and corporate realms. This perspective has infected Christian leadership literature as well.

The lies Ciavarri examines aren't the obvious ones. They are sneaky-lies that can be benign, even helpful,...
