When bestselling author Bruce Feiler was diagnosed with a malignant tumor in his leg, he could only imagine all the walks he might not take with his daughters, the ballet recitals he would miss, the art projects left undone, and the aisles he might not walk down. Though his daughters would have plenty of resources in their lives, they wouldn’t have their Dad. He decided to write to six men who had been with him throughout his life- men who could become his voice and his daughters’ Council of Dads. READ MORE

George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Martin Luther King would all make the list of great American leaders. But these men, along with more recent presidents from Ronald Reagan to Barack Obama, were all influenced by an even more iconic leader.
His name is Moses.
From the Pilgrims to the founding fathers, the Civil War to the Civil Rights movement, Americans have turned to one biblical prophet because his narrative offers a roadmap of promise and peril.
As we once more face trying times, Americans would once be well-served to consider the leadership lessons of the world’s greatest leader.
