PRAISE FOR "THE CHALLENGE OF LEADERSHIP:IS THERE NOT A CAUSE?"

The challenge of Leadership.jpg

“This book has the inspirational edge of a Dale Carnegie piece and the moral and spiritual backbone of the book of James. It is a sermon on leadership, not a theoretical, ivory tower polemic. It is a must read for anyone attempting to be a leader and for those who sense the need to lead but lack the courage to do so!”

                        Julian Champion

“An excellent work…one of the two best I have ever read on Christian leadership. Noah thank you for enduring the process and writing of it.”

                                   Derek Prince Ministries.

“Powerful work…Noah has offered superb clarity and discernment on the way God regards the leadership issue, both in Christian and secular circles.”

“With the applied logic, craftsmanship and inspired passion reminiscent of the classical artisan and follower of Christ who crafted the New Testament argument that Christ was the promised Messiah, Manyika challenges us to make the essential connection between unconditional submission and mission, and to rise to the virtue of availability.”

"With profound insight and clarity, Dr. Manyika masterfully bridges the worlds of faith and innovation, challenging readers to see technology not as a threat, but as a powerful tool for advancing the Kingdom of God. Redeeming Sundar is an essential guide and must read for anyone with a passion to see the flourishing of God’s Kingdom in an ever-changing world."

                                                                                          Bread of Life Ministries

"As a Christian leader in international development, I am deeply challenged by Noah’s call to integrate faith and innovation. This book offers Biblically rooted actionable insights for effecting socioeconomically transformative faith-driven innovation. We can no longer separate technological progress from our spiritual mandate to transform lives.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​”

                                                                  Dr. Komborero Daniel Choga 

                                                                            International Development Leader

                               

“The majority of the church is living in denial, settling into a worrisome irrelevance that separates faith from science. It is time for the church to heed Jesus’ brutal critique that the children of this world are wiser in their generation than the sons of light. If we are to engage the world, we need language for believability - and this is what this powerful book generously provides.”

                                                                       Prof Oladotun Reju 

                                                                                                Bakke Graduate University, TX.

“The men of Issachar were known for their wisdom and understanding of the times. Noah Manyika is one of them. Disruptive technology has been a constant challenge to navigate for faith leaders throughout history. Redeeming Sundar will profoundly inspire you to embrace emerging technologies while remaining grounded in the fundamental Great Commission mandate.”

                                                                                                                                      Rev. Michelle Hoverson 

                                                                                                                                                                                     founder Lake Norman CDC

"In Redeeming Sundar, Dr. Noah Manyika presents a compelling, biblically grounded case for the integration of faith and innovation, advocating for the acceptance of AI as a redemptive tool for the flourishing of humanity. With clarity and vision, he calls the faith community to boldly embrace the future, fulfilling their mandate as image-bearers of God to steward creation and innovate for the good of all. Dr. Manyika’s insights are enriched by a remarkable multidisciplinary background: studying at Georgetown University’s prestigious School of Foreign Service under leaders like U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, earning a Doctorate in Transformational Leadership from Bakke Graduate University and a PhD in Christian Leadership from Vision International University, and drawing on experiences as a pastor, missionary, entrepreneur, CEO, and 2018 Zimbabwe Presidential Candidate. His time behind the Iron Curtain in Romania further shaped his unique perspective. This book is a bold and essential read for those ready to bridge faith and technology for the Kingdom’s advancement and human flourishing."

                                                                                                                                                        Professor & President

“Dr. Manyika boldly and compellingly advocates for integrating faith and innovation from a biblically grounded perspective. His unique insights draw from a remarkable multidisciplinary journey - including life behind the Iron Curtain in Romania, studies at Georgetown under leaders like Madeleine Albright, advanced degrees from Bakke and Vision universities, and diverse experiences as pastor, missionary, entrepreneur, CEO, and 2018 Zimbabwe Presidential Candidate. This book is essential reading for anyone committed to bridging faith and technology for Kingdom advancement and human flourishing.”

“Redeeming Sundar is an outstanding and exceptionally well-written book. It provides innovative, practical insights and effective strategies for overcoming internal and external obstacles in navigating a world where rapidly accelerating technology reshapes our lives in ways that once seemed purely futuristic.”

                                                                                                                                                           Rev. Byron Wicker

“I've known Noah for more than twenty years.  Several things remain consistent with him.  He lives and breathes leadership.  He tries to understand the geopolitics surrounding us today.  He is amazingly innovative.  And he wants to find out new ways to reach and serve people for the Lord Jesus who guides his life.  With Redeeming Sundar he proves once again that his work is always worth reading.  You'll certainly know more and be better because of it.”

PREVAIL:RECLAIMING THE DIVINITY OF OUR HUMANITY 

 (Out in May 2025)

Nice Cover.png

This book provides a systematic, biblical framework for measuring personal and organizational growth through the seven principles of presence which constitute the P.R.E.V.A.I.L acronym and define the model. In a three-part Foundational Missions Leadership Moment podcast with Scott McClelland of FxMissions.com, Dr. Manyika discusses how the key to biblical, transformational leadership is presence—both God's and our own, and outlines the seven principles of presence as follows:

  1. Prevailing Presence

  2. Relevant Presence

  3. Exploring Presence

  4. Validating Presence

  5. Alleviating Presence

  6. Inspiring Presence

  7. Leveraging Presence
