Description

"The saintliest man I ever knew", said Charles Spurgeon of Robert Chapman. And this may well be one of the most spiritually inspiring books you will ever read. As we start the 21st century, we desperately need examples of the sort of men that Christian leaders are to be. 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. He became so well known in England that a letter from abroad addressed only to "R. C. Chapman, University of Love, England" was correctly delivered to him! See godly, pastoral leadership in action through these biographical snapshots from Chapman's life.

1) Agape Leadership
2) Love for God's Word

7) Forgiving and Blessing Others
8) Hospitality
9) Giving to the Needy
10) Working Together in Love
11) Vision and Evangelism
12) Self-Discipline
12) Prayer and Worship

"It will challenge you to be a better leader, a more committed believer, and a brighter light to the world."
-- Greg Stephenson Grace Community Church, Grace Ministries International

"R.C. Chapman's life is a vivid illustration of Jesus' teaching. 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

"The book is easy to read and has a devotional quality to it. The book has been a continual refreshment, challenging me and making me thirst for a much deeper experience of God's grace in the details of my life. I enjoyed reading it so much that I bought a bunch of copies to give to others."
-- Matt Troupe Pastor, Free Grace Church, Fresno, CA

"I recommend Agape Leadership as a useful resource, but it is only an appetizer for Peterson's longer work on Chapman's life, Apostle of Love. These two books...and Alexander Strauch's dynamic duo Love or Die and Leading With Love, will remind the Christian that Christ is the cornerstone of the Church, and that above all, Christ is love." -- Mark Tubbs, www.discerningreader.com
