Effective Leadership
for Religious Schools
What Leaders Should Know
Edited by
Michael T.
Buchanan
• Includes work
by top scholars
from Australia,
Europe and North
America
• There’s a dearth
of good material
on leadership strategies in religious
schools
• Features chapters on Christian, Jewish,
Muslim, and Interfaith schools
This unique volume brings together
leading international scholars in the
field to explore the many dimensions
of leadership: religious, faith,
spiritual, ministerial, educational, and
curriculum leadership. The contributors
demonstrate, through case studies and
grounded theory, that these schools
require leaders who are conversant with a
very wide range of styles and issues.

My Hands
J.J. Keeler
• Author’s
humorous account
of her OCD
• Light-hearted
yet serious and
comforting look

has killed her waiter, the author tells her
story in a way that allows us to see inside

lost her sense of humour.

living proof there is life with OCD.
