Towards a Concept of Spirit-empowered Leadership

The mission of Oral Roberts University is to develop Spirit-empowered leaders through whole person education to impact the world. In pursuit of this goal, the faculty are exploring the relationship between the Holy Spirit and leadership to articulate a model of Spirit-empowered leadership (SEL).

This guide provides bibliographies of works that address the topic of the Spirit and leadership. The listed resources represent a range of perspectives, including local church contexts, ministerial viewpoints, and academic studies.

This guide includes the following groups of resources:

• General Spiritual Leadership - Books and ebooks exploring spiritual approaches to leadership in a broad or interdenominational context.
• Leadership by Spirit-empowered Leaders - Books and ebooks authored by Pentecostal and Charismatic authors. These books may or may not explicitly emphasize a Holy Spirit orientation to their works.

• Regional Spirit-empowered Leadership (SEL) - Books and ebooks focusing on Spirit-empowered leadership as it is expressed or contextualized within specific regions or cultures.
