Description

It is a Good Day to Die: Indian Eyewitnesses Tell the Story of the Battle of the Little BighornI am an old man, and soon my spirit must leave this earth to join the spirit of my fathers. Therefore, I shall speak only the truth in telling what I know of the fight on the Little Bighorn River where General Custer was killed. Curly, who was with us, will tell you that I do not lie. So spoke White Man Runs Him, a Crow Indian who with five other Crow warriors had served as a scout for Custer's Seventh Cavalry on June 25, 1876, the day of the battle

I am an old man, and soon my spirit must leave this earth to join the spirit of my fathers. Therefore, I shall speak only the truth in telling what I know of the fight on the Little Bighorn River where General Custer was killed. Curly, who was with us, will tell you that I do not lie. So spoke White Man Runs Him, a Crow Indian who with five other Crow warriors had served as a scout for Custer's Seventh Cavalry on June 25, 1876, the day of the battle known to generations of white Americans as Custer's Last Stand. They survived the battle, but Custer and more than 250 troopers did not. Thus their accounts and those of the Lakotas and Cheyennes who triumphed at Little Bighorn (or Greasy Grass, as it was known to the Lakotas) offer the only firsthand picture of what happened that fateful day. These stories--from leaders as renowned as Black Elk and Sitting Bull, warriors such as Wooden Leg, a Cheyenne woman, and Arikara and Crow scouts--at last bring one of the most unforgettable showdowns in American history to vivid, complex, multifaceted life.

Ain't a better leader than Jesus.....
Format: Paperback
Seriously. Jesus really set the example of being an outstanding leader. His lifestyle demonstration of servant-leadership was pretty novel and has literally changed the world. Also, He wasn't a wuss and He set good boundaries. He truly let His Yes mean Yes - and His No meant No (and still does). If you don't know Him as Lord, this book will help draw you into how amazing He was/is - and maybe then you'll want to know more and read His word?? I wasn't thrilled with all aspects of this book as I think they could have done better to draw some of the attributes of Jesus. But I don't have any disagreements or arguments with what they wrote. Maybe some was a bit weak (unlike Jesus....!) But it is def a good book if you are starting to study what was so great about Jesus as a leader. Gives good examples and provides the basic foundation of Him as a man and leading a diverse group of folks. And does well to apply to today's world and how you can apply these attributes.

Great Christian Leadership Book
Format: Paperback
Using this as a high school leadership text for our Lutheran High School. It gives a great template for discussion using the 4 H's of Head. Heart, Hands, and Habits! For any 4-H'ers out there, does that sound vaguely familiar?
