A true story. On March 6, 2016, Pastor Tim Remington was shot six times at close range with .45 hollow points by a man who thought he was stopping an alien from Mars.

Tim's remarkable story shouts God's love to the world in an obvious, visible way, and it raised a question that required investigation. Why this particular pastor?

Dr. James Frank's journey is far from over. It is now in a season of continuation. Legacy is the impact one has had on people, organizations, or institutions that continues to benefit those entities in perpetuity. In the simplest terms, according to Webster's Dictionary, a legacy is "something transmitted by or received from an ancestor or predecessor or from the past." Whether the legacy is something material or intangible, it is passed on to subsequent generations for their benefit. Through Seasons of the Journey, the author has well documented the legacies Dr. Frank transmitted to the world throughout his life - legacies which exemplify integrity, professionalism, educational excellence, hard work ethics, athletic endeavor, unselfishness, and family values. Dr. Frank held many prominent positions. His leadership skills and accomplishments were exemplary and indelible. He touched the lives of many. He was thoroughly recognized throughout his life for his impact. He had an impactful influence on many universities and organizations, two of which were Lincoln University and the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) where significant edifices will now bear his name. The executive leadership of both Lincoln University and the Southwestern Athletic Conference have chosen to further his legacy. Founders Hall on the Lincoln University campus was renamed Dr. James Frank Hall on April 21, 2023. The Southwestern Athletic Conference national headquarters building in Birmingham, Alabama, has been named in his honor. The official naming ceremony has been scheduled to take place on October 26, 2023. His name on these important and historical edifices cements his legacy and his significant impact on these two great entities.

We have experienced dark and difficult times before in our history-World Wars, the Depression, and pandemics, but the physical, political and economic health of nations is now overlaid with the potentially catastrophic effects of climate change. We live in a world fraught with ecological and social problems and political systems that diminish democracy. We have organizations that demean and dehumanize many of their employees, and an economic perspective that places material wealth and financial interests over social, ecological, and human interests. Such a system devalues what it means to be human, compromising the inherent dignity and worth of people who are not at the top, not to mention devaluing the worth of non-human living beings, including the Earth itself. Our world cries out for moral, ethical and wise leadership that recognizes and honors the dignity of all living beings, and makes decisions in the interest of society and the planet for now and the future. Looking at the state of the world today, one cannot help but wonder what we need to do to ensure a positive and peaceful future for humanity. How is it possible that knowledge and information have become so much more accessible to people, but we do not seem to have become anywiser? We continue to destroy our natural habitat despite ominous warnings of the planet becoming uninhabitable. We continue to be led by dictators and autocrats despite the many lessons from history of the incredible damage they can cause. We continue to allow without correction racial and ethnic injustice and increasing economic and income inequality. We continue to allow the amoral, unethical behaviors of our leaders (and their followers) with no, or few consequences. Even worse, we continue to recruit and promote into leadership positions narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths. Unrestrained and unchecked, the result is the degradation of moral standards, ethical behavior and the decline of democracy. This book examines the connection between moral and ethical leaders and wisdom. Our current turbulent and dangerous times underscores the need to have wise leaders who demonstrate the highest standards of moral principles and ethical behavior. While all countries are in need of wise, moral and ethical leaders, nowhere does it have greater impact on the world than in the United States. This book is organized into three major sections. The first section looks at the ongoing problem of amoral, ethical and unethical leadership with case studies and examples and multiple perspectives. The second section examines what we mean ethical and wise leader behavior. The final section examines ethical and wise leadership, with suggestions on actions we can take at the organizational and individual level in dealing with amoral, immoral and unethical leaders, and how to develop further a culture of integrity, ethics and morality.
