Dan B. Allender, PhD, is a founder of Mars Hill Graduate School near Seattle, where he serves as president. He also is a professor of counseling, a therapist in private practice, and a popular speaker. He is the author of a number of books, including To Be Told, How Children Raise Parents, The Healing Path, and The Wounded Heart. Dan and his wife, Rebecca, are the parents of three children.
"Allender, a powerful writer, has a speaking style that makes him
sound loving, fatherly, and genuinely interested in helping. In a
dramatic voice he says the best leaders are people who accept their
imperfections and learn from their mistakes. He shares his
shortcomings as a church and educational leader, as an idealist,
and as a follower of Christ. Having started and managed a large
educational institution, he still sounds humble and willing to
learn, refreshing traits in someone with his credentials. He is a
sophisticated thinker, and his distinctive and respectful way of
speaking about power is captivating as he provides many insights on
the human flaws of pride, arrogance, ambition, narcissism, and
cowardice."
