Lead from the Outside is a necessary guide to harnessing the strengths of being an outsider by Stacey Abrams, one of the most prominent black female politicians in the U.S. Leadership is hard. Convincing others—and often yourself—that you possess the answers and are capable of world-affecting change requires confidence, insight, and sheer bravado. Stacey Abrams's Lead from the Outside is the handbook for outsiders, written with the awareness of the experiences and challenges that hinder anyone who exists beyond the structure of traditional white male power—women, people of color, members of the LGBTQ community, and millennials ready to make a difference. In Lead from the Outside, Stacey Abrams argues that knowing your own passion is the key to success, regardless of the scale or target. From launching a company, to starting a day care center for homeless teen moms, to running a successful political campaign, finding what you want to fight for is as critical as knowing how to turn thought into action. Stacey uses her experience and hard-won insights to break down how ambition, fear, money, and failure function in leadership, while offering personal stories that illuminate practical strategies. Stacey includes exercises to help you hone your skills and realize your aspirations. She discusses candidly what she has learned over the course of her impressive career: that differences in race, gender, and class are surmountable. With direction and dedication, being in the minority actually provides unique and vital strength, which we can employ to rise to the top and make real change.

In today's uncertain world, storms will arise that test your faith in a loving heavenly Father. At times, the winds and waves of the world's deceptions will roll in and seek to erode your confidence in God. Without a firm foundation in the truth of God's Word, you may be tempted to go off course and accept less than God's best for you. However, when you hear Jesus' words, receive them, and put them into practice, you will construct a life the torrents cannot shake, "because it was well built" (Luke 6:48). The Purple Book will help you understand foundational truths that God wants you to hear on topics such as sin, salvation, spiritual gifts, prayer, worship, generosity, and evangelism. It will show you how the Bible is "God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness" (2 Timothy 3:16). It will help you understand that the faith you hold has true power to change lives and transform nations. It will give you a solid foundation the enemy cannot dismantle—and a heart shaped by knowledge of God's Word.

Leadership is a journey that requires periodical assessment of who we are as leaders and our impact. God has placed each leader in a unique position. Each leader has a specific role to fulfill His purposes in the marketplace. Too many of us as leaders have compartmentalized our faith, are afraid to integrate our faith, or don't know how to lead with Biblical distinction. The Bible exhorts us to be bold and courageous in our walk with God. Bold leadership is leading with confidence that we serve an infinite, all-powerful God who is behind us and desires to work through us. Bold leaders actively collaborate with God by embracing Biblical principles that can dramatically transform their leadership and impact.Bold Leadership: Biblical Principles for Marketplace Impact offers insights and examples from 70 Christian marketplace leaders. These leaders are men and women who are living their faith successfully in a world that seems increasingly hostile. They include people like David Green, Founder and CEO of Hobby Lobby; Pat Gelsinger, President and Chief Operating Officer of EMC; Susan Hares, Senior Director of IP Standards for Huawei Technologies (USA); and Christine Johnson, President of the Mutual of Omaha Foundation. The leaders come from many different sectors, but share a common theme of boldly serving God in the marketplace during the good times and through challenging times. Their stories will speak to your heart, mentor you, encourage you to sharpen your leadership edge as "iron sharpens iron", and help you lead with boldness and confidence.
