A True Hero to Imitate
An outstanding biography of Robert Chapman's life, that so extensively unearths his most precious quality: genuine Christ-like love for ALL people. Written over a century and a half ago, his life was a relevant model for my self-centered life and the selfishness that seems to characterize our culture.I pray it profoundly impacts your life as it has my own.

Robert Chapman - Leader by Example

What Scripture Says
This book presents a clear and concise statement about the rapture, the antichrist, and the millennium.The Epilogue is a summary that many bible students need to read.In a time of so many poor interpretations, Dr. Efird presents what the scripture says.I have been in his class room and the book is as close as can be to hearing him speak.

Good Introductory Study
This little book is meant to be an introductory critique to popular eschatology or "end-times views" as they have come to be known. Efird divides his book into two basic sections: historical and theological. He examines both dispensationalism and darbyism in their historical context, then examines what he considers to be the three key themes in popular eschatology--the Millennium, the Antichrist, and the Rapture. The book does not assume any prior exposure to biblical studies and is good to use as a starting place.

The book does suffer from its brevity. While I'm certain he has more to say than what he actually said, there are times when he could have elaborated a bit more and at certain points you are not certain if he is disproving a particular view or rather just asserting his own without mention.

A solid book, all in all. ... Read more

Book Description
Agape Leadership promises to be one of the most spiritually inspiring books you have ever read. As we start the 21st century, we desperately need examples of what Christian leaders are to be like. Robert Cleaver Chapman (1803-1902) provides an extraordinary example of Christ-like, agape leadership. Although little known today, he was a widely respected Christian leader in England during the last century. Chapman became legendary in his own time for his gracious ways, his patience, his kindness, his balanced judgment, his ability to reconcile people in conflict, his absolute fidelity to Scripture, and his loving pastoral care. By the end of his life, Chapman was known worldwide for his love, wisdom and compassion. See godly, pastoral leadership in action through these biographical snapshots from Chapman's life.

I have given a copy of the book to pastors and ministry leaders with the prayer that we might reject a professional ministry mindset and follow Jesus as Chapman did." -- Peter Hubbard, Pastor/Teacher, North Hills Community Church, Taylors, SC ...

Possibly the most outstanding Christian book ever written
I wish every Christian would read this! A powerful spiritual fragrance emanates from every page.

This is truly one of the most revolutionary books ever written. It takes you right back into the heart of New Covenant Christianity. Chapman really did seek to live the Christian life as Jesus did.

I have observed a whole congregation transformed after almost all the members had read this book.

Please buy it, read it, see what you think, and write a review of it!

Agape Leadership
This brief glimpse into the heart of Agape Leadership in the life of R.C. Chapman is life changing, and brings one to the heart of the Gospel, and what a servant of Christ is supposed to be.If all pastors were like Chapman this would indeed be a much different world, and the church would be what Jesus intended.Millions more would be won for Christ if Christians would live, and love like Chapman.

Dr. Ray DeLaurier, Pastor

This is a Life-Changer!
This book serves as a model for not only Christian leadership, but Christian life.

Throughout the book, we are encouraged to deal lovingly with people, and that becomes our witness to others.

You will be amazed at the life of R.C.Chapman.

This has truly become one of my favorite books!

A model for "countercultural" Christian leadership.
This book gives us a clear example of "countercultural" Christian leadership, as demonstrated in the life of R.C. Chapman. The reader will be inspired to walk in his example, even as he sought to walkin the example of Christ.

Robert Chapman provides an extraordinaryexample of godly Christian leadership -- something desperately neededtoday. Although very few are familiar with this 19th century Britishpastor, teacher, and evangelist, few will notbe inspired by him. Thisaccount of his life and ministry may in fact be oneof the mostspiritually challenging books you may ever read!

The book sets forth thequalities of true -- agape, loving -- Christian leadership:

--Love forGod's Word

-- Spirit-controlled character

-- Being patient and gentle

-- Maintaining unity

-- Disciplining and reconciling

-- Practicinghospitality

-- Giving to the needy

-- Continuing consequences

andmore. Some excerpts:

To reform the church of God we should always begin with self-reform. Schisms and divisions will increase so long as we beginwith reforming others. Wisdom is only with the lowly.

Humility is thesecret of fellowship, and pride the secret of division.

The ruin of akingdom is a little thing in God'ssight, in comparison with divisionamong a handful of sinners redeemed bythe blood of Christ.

The besttestimony that Stephen bore was his last:not when preaching and workingmiracles, but when he pleaded for his persecutors; for then he mostresembled the Lord Jesus in patience, forgiveness and love.

(To a youngmissionary, heading for the field:) Keep low, look up, and pressforward.

The Bottom Line: This book offers a much needed corrective tothe kind of corporate (= worldly) leadership styles that dominate mostchurch fellowships today. In that, itranks with Schaeffer's Mark of theChristian. We highly recommend it be distributed widely, that wemight seea generation of Christian leaders arise who are marked by their love,wisdom, and compassion.

This is a must read.

GREAT BOOK!
