Society today reinforces success as being first -- in sports, in business, and in life. Jeremy Kingsley, an itinerant speaker, believer and follower of Christ, and friend authored and published a book in 2008 entitled - Be Last: Descending into Greatness. The book is a compelling contrarian view to the world view of our day. Jeremy uses the life and teachings of Christ along with Bible stories and practical examples to show the dangers of putting yourself first and a challenge to a life of being last. It's an easy but challenging read -- a great step to servant leadership.
Note: Reached #10 on Amazon's Best Sellers List under "Christian Living" and #3 on Amazon's Hot New Releases under "Christian Living."
My favorite chapter discussed what amazes Jesus. It really made me think -- Have I done things in my life that have amazed Jesus? Have I done things that have left him bewildered.
I'll join Jeremy as he states in the introduction ... I hope [my life] makes Jesus smile!
His video introduction of the book is below.
You can find the book on Amazon. You can also find out more about Jeremy Kingsley's Onelife Ministries at http://www.jeremykingsley.com/.
reTHINK your life in the New Year and Be Last.
