Synopsis

The connection between faith, leadership and public life is a complex one as Preston Manning knows all too well from his years as a scout and trailblazer on Canada's political frontiers. Now, in his new book Faith, Leadership and Public Life: Leadership Lessons from Moses to Jesus he fearlessly tackles this subject by drawing upon his own years in Canada's parliament and political arena and upon relevant lessons to be learned from the public lives of the founding giants of Judaism and the Christian faith.
