Familiar "Leadership" Heresies Uncovered

Fleming has uncovered familiar "leadership" heresies through careful study of the Genesis passage on the Garden of Eden and five New Testament passages on church and home life. Heresies are not good for your health, nor are they good for the life of your church.
