About this ebook
Oaks in Office: Biblical Essays for Political Leaders is a collection of fifty-two essays, in six parts through four volumes, intended for a year’s study. All six parts and four volumes are included in this single-volume e-version. Written for Public Servants, the objective of Oaks in Office is to develop leaders through Scripture—in political office and in life. These comprehensive essays drill deep and wide into the Word of God to disciple and mature you in your faith, as your reliance upon Jesus Christ grows. Through consistent immersion in Scripture, you develop a fruitful spiritual life as you become more Christlike. You gain new insight into thorny contemporary social issues by examining them through the lens of Scripture. Rounding out the teaching, rich pastoral guidance strengthens your personal life by providing a Biblical perspective on marriage, children, and family. Most importantly, through the Oaks in Office journey you will grow in knowledge, righteousness, and faith, and come to more fully understand what God expects of you as a leader. This book is written by the man who teaches the Bible to leaders of nations, and this is what he is teaching them.
