Welcome to today’s edition of Yesterday’s Word from Leading the Follower. Our goal is to give you a roadmap to the information being provided online about topics of interest. Some of these sources may be familiar to you, others not so much. Our goal is to give you a few different perspectives on what is being reported and to help you find information that you might not necessarily stumble upon as you follow your daily routine.

Be sure to follow us on http://www.leading-the-follower.com and on http://www.highergroundbooksandmedia.com.  We're sharing lots of great commentary and our thoughts on how we can be better followers of God as well as leaders of people.
