Principles for potential leaders
Costa Deir

Proverbial concepts keep the mind awake to receive the truth. They are compacted capsules for personal study. Each statement is brief, concise and due to its brevity it is easily understandable, which prevents monotony in the learning process. It impacts with rich variety, sometimes on the emotions, other times on the intellect. But, above all, it moves the will in new directions towards greater Christian progress. It leads the personality by force of its illumination into brighter, healthier paths of life. These concepts of truth modify ways of thinking, choosing and acting, always aiming for excellence, always moving towards higher and higher levels of maturity in Christ.
