About the Book

After the Babylonian Exile, Israel was in desperate need of godly leadership. God raised up Nehemiah, who mobilized his people to rebuild the broken walls of Jerusalem in just fifty-two days.

America and the world today need leaders of similar character, vision, courage, and conviction.

This book shares inspiring stories of modern leaders who are demonstrating those same qualities and making a meaningful difference in today's culture.

“You will be inspired and equipped to lead with bold, God-fearing conviction.”

Candace Cameron Bure
