This week, as a companion to our podcast featuring the work of Tim Warneka, founder of the Catholic Servant Leader movement, we are pleased to offer your chance to win one of two autographed copies of Tim's great book, Black Belt Leader, Peaceful Leader: An Introduction to Catholic Servant Leadership.  Two winners will each receive one author signed copy of this book.

Start off the New Year by reading this great book!  Here's a brief description:

"We believe that every person is precious, that people are more important than things, and that the measure of every institution is whether it threatens or enhances the life and dignity of the human person." - U.S. Bishops' Reflection, "Sharing Catholic Social Teaching: Challenges and Directions" Can you practice what the U.S. Bishops preach? Is it possible to be both a Christian and a successful leader? "Yes, you can!" says leadership expert and black belt Tim Warneka-when you discover Catholic Servant Leadership, an exciting new emotionally intelligent leadership approach based on the powerful tenets of the Roman Catholic faith, Leadership Science, the Servant Leadership movement, and the revolutionary non-violent martial art of Aikido ('The Art of Peace'). With a powerful foreword by Bro. Ray Fitz, S.M., Ph.D., Past President of The University of Dayton (Ohio's largest Catholic University), BLACK BELT LEADER, PEACEFUL LEADER is designed to be used throughout the Church-in high schools, youth programs, colleges, universities, lay reading groups and seminaries. Perfect for emerging student leaders as well as adults in sacred and secular leadership positions, Black Belt Leader, Peaceful Leader: An Introduction to Catholic Servant Leadership shows you how to be an effective Catholic Servant Leader while enhancing the lives of those you lead.
