Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Leadership by the Good Book
David L. Steward · 2020
🎙 Narrated by Brandon K. Mann and Lou Watson (Hachette Audio)
74/100
👍 Worth It
David Steward builds a genuinely Christian leadership framework around Mark 10:45, weaving Scripture and prayer into every chapter alongside real stories from the company he actually built — that's a strong, faith-affirming combination. Most of what I found on reception was endorsement blurbs rather than independent reviews, so take the praise with a little context, and I couldn't confirm how the two-narrator team sounds in practice. Still, the substance and faith grounding make this one worth your time.
