Description
"If I could put one book into the hands of every leader right now, it would be this one."
- Christine Caine, author of Unexpected and The Faith to Flourish
Being wounded by the misuse and abuse of authority may be the story that you have lived. But it does not have to be the legacy that you leave.
In A Tale of Two Leaders, Dr. Alicia Britt Chole examines two leaders in the Bible who used similar authority in utterly different ways. Blending Scripture, research, storytelling, and reflection, Chole equips readers to steward authority with integrity and to lead forward in hope across the places they influence.
- Explores seven contrasts in the lives of two biblical leaders and the effects of how authority is used
- Combines biblical insight, leadership research, and practical reflection prompts for personal and group study
- Addresses authority in all realms: work, school, family, church, and community
- Offers guidance for maintaining healthy vulnerability, boundaries, and patterns that help rather than harm
Yes, we are wounded—but we do not have to be infected. May the pages of this book strengthen you to engage in the sacred work of leading and living well in the eyes of God.

About the author
In person or in print, Dr. Alicia Britt Chole's voice cuts through fluff and summons souls to walk with God anew. As a speaker, leadership mentor, and award-winning writer, Alicia places words like an artist applying paint to a canvas. Nothing is wasted. Every word matters. Heads and hearts are equally engaged. A former atheist, Alicia's worldview was interrupted by Jesus as she began her university studies. Of that experience she states, "I would have had to commit emotional and intellectual suicide to deny God's reality." Today, her raw faith and love for God's Word hold the attention of saints and skeptics alike. Alicia focuses on less-than-trendy topics like spiritual pain, the leader's soul, the potential of anonymous years, decrease as a discipline, and the abuse of spiritual authority. Business leaders, pastors, college students, and churches agree: Alicia is an unusually disarming combination of realism and hope, intellect and grace, humor and art. Alicia and Barry have been married for 35 years and are eternally grateful for their three children, all of whom are Choles through the miracle of adoption.
Alicia holds a doctorate in leadership and spiritual formation from George Fox Evangelical Seminary and is the founding director and lead mentor of Leadership Investment Intensives, Inc., a nonprofit devoted to providing confidential and customized soul-care to leaders in the marketplace and church. Her books include Anonymous, 40 Days of Decrease, The Sacred Slow, and The Night Is Normal. She has spoken around the world at hundreds of conferences, seminaries, Bible colleges, churches, retreats, and on podcasts. Her favorite things include thunderstorms, honest questions, The Lord of the Rings, and anything with jalapeños. In a culture obsessed with all things new and shiny, Alicia brings ancient truth to life.
