FULSHEAR, TX, UNITED STATES, September 21, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- True Leaders with Heart: Generous, Passionate, Humble & Wise, by Christian author and leadership practitioner Karla Nivens, M.A.M., challenges today's leaders to reconsider what it means to lead well—moving beyond position and performance toward character, spiritual formation, and faithful stewardship. Available September 21, 2026.

Karla Nivens Entertainment announces the release of True Leaders with Heart: Generous, Passionate, Humble, & Wise by Karla Nivens, available in paperback $18.99, 99798868534409; hardcover $32.99, 9798868534409; eBook $6.99, 9798868534416.

At a time when trust in institutions and leaders is increasingly tested, True Leaders with Heart asks a fundamental question: What kind of person must a leader become to lead others well? Through the pages of True Leaders with Heart, the weekly meditations invite leaders to embrace the qualities that make a difference—generosity, passion, humility, and wisdom. Drawing on her experience as a pastor, educator, nonprofit leader, worship leader, and spiritual formation coach, Nivens combines biblical reflection with practical leadership application, giving readers a weekly opportunity to pause, examine their leadership, and consider how God is shaping them for greater influence.

Each week’s reflections challenge readers to lead with integrity, serve with compassion, and uplift others with grace. Leaders meditate on being generous, building community among their team. Readers are encouraged to become passionate in living their purpose well. Humility is a leadership quality marked by servanthood rather than entitlement. Leaders are challenged to use wisdom when influencing others. The meditations inspire spiritually-grounded, character building for leaders.

Leadership is not simply about what we accomplish; it is about who we become while leading others. Becoming a servant leader can transform your life and build stronger communities. Whether in business, education, community building, an emerging leader, or guiding your family, the devotional approaches leadership as a process of spiritual formation; inviting readers not only to become better leaders but to become more fully formed in the character of Christ.

At the heart of Nivens' approach is a belief that leadership begins with recognizing the God-given dignity of others. Rather than viewing people simply as employees, volunteers, congregants, or followers, True Leaders with Heart challenges leaders to see and cultivate the gifts, purpose, and potential within the people they serve. Author Karla Nivens says, “I believe leadership is not about accumulating fans; it is about developing your moral compass and serving people well. Leadership is a sacred stewardship of the influence and people God places in our care. When we lead from a heart shaped by Scripture, humility, wisdom, generosity, and passion, we create environments where people can flourish. In leading non-profit teams for 30 years, I found weekly meditations help us become high-functioning teams operating as a unit. I developed the True Leaders series to provide resources that inspire leaders in their leadership journey.” The series is complemented with content on YouTube, REST Retreats, speaking to audiences, and Gospel concerts inspiring audiences in their leadership style.

True Leaders with Heart: Generous, Passionate, Humble & Wise will be released in the formats of ebook, hardcover, and paperback on September 21, 2026. To find out more and order a copy, visit www.karlanivens.com.
