Drawing upon sacred scripture, Church teachings, and the wisdom of the saints, these reflections by Alex Yam encourage leaders to embrace values such as self-examination, detachment, and servant leadership. Each chapter includes practical application and contemplative prayers that ground the reader in the virtues necessary for fostering justice, compassion, and the common good.


Whether you are a seasoned politician or someone who feels called to public service, may this book provide inspiration for aligning faith with leadership and offer a vision of governance based on love, truth, and devotion to God.
