The Fight of My Life: The Breaking and Making of a Leader
Nathaniel Mizzell | 2021
Abstract
Spiritual formation is a lifelong process experienced by every true believer who receives Jesus Christ as Savior and personal Lord. It begins at the point of salvation and proceeds as one surrenders and submits to the power and authority of God’s Holy Spirit orchestrating growth and development into the spiritual likeness of Christ through every season of life. The Fight of My Life: The Breaking and Making of a Leader is a very personal book that details the miraculous healing power of God after having been shot five times in the head and face and left for dead in the streets of the Nation’s Capital. The riveting personal account of God’s healing provides insight into the formation and development of an authentic transformational servant leader’s self-identity, social identity, and spiritual identity.
The Fight of My Life: The Breaking and Making of a Leader extends an opportunity to explore the journey of leadership up close and personal, as the author revisits the transformational recovery process from the spiritual, emotional, and physical impacts of his injuries. Twenty-seven leadership principles flowing out of scripture are applied to life experience to offer guidance on spiritual formation and discipleship in the 21st Century.
The Fight of My Life: The Breaking and Making of a Leader is perhaps the most unorthodox book about leadership ever written. It is the authentic and transparent account of how God single-handedly took a life destined for destruction and turned it around for His glory. If you have ever found yourself aimlessly wandering through life, this book is for you. If you have ever wanted to give up and throw in the towel, this book is for you. If you have ever felt powerless watching someone you care for sabotage their life, this book is for you as well. Come on, let’s walk through the valley of the shadow of death together so that God can break us in all the right places to mold, shape, and make us into the leaders He has always destined us to be.
