"In Cultivating a Servant Heart, author Caitlin Wilson collects stories and insights on the inward journeys of a diverse range of servant leaders, woven with the unifying threads of our past, present, and future. The inspiring insights and stories are shared by servant leaders who have made it their life's work to serve in several different types of environments-schools, nonprofits, corporations, faith communities, and city streets. These leaders describe their childhoods, journeys, visions of the future, and their passions-all of which continue to cultivate their servant hearts.
