Tyrants show up everywhere. In the workplace. In the pulpit. At home. And, if we are honest, oftentimes in our own hearts. In a culture that rewards charisma and results over character, how can Christians resist the temptation to lead like the world?

In How (Not) to Be a Tyrant, biblical scholar Joshua W. Jipp turns to ten of the Bible's most infamous rulers for guidance—by showing us what not to do. From Pharaoh's greed to Pilate's cowardice, each chapter contrasts a scriptural example of destructive power with Jesus's radically different way of leading with integrity, mercy, and sacrificial love.

Listeners will learn to

  • reject fear and manipulation tactics;
  • apply Scripture's warnings to modern challenges; and
  • practice humility, mercy, and justice in any setting.

This short yet eye-opening book is essential for Christians who want to exert positive influence in every sphere of life.
