Character Counts

Leadership Qualities in Washington, Wilberforce, Lincoln, and Solzhenitsyn

By Os Guinness, ed.
(Baker Books, 1999)

A compilation of four of our Readings booklets on historical cases where private character has made a public difference.

Contents:

To Bigotry No Sanction,
Abraham Lincoln: Theologian of American Anguish,
William Wilberforce: A Man Who Changed His Times, and
The Oak and the Calf.

It includes an original introduction by Os Guinness that makes clear the relation of character to leadership for a society where leadership is reduced to image management and spin control, shows how leaders of character from our past have changed their times—and raises hope that even today modern leaders could do the same.
