"The Peter Principle"

Michael Brooks, one of the writers for Forthright Magazine, briefly talks about "The Peter Principle" in his latest article, relative to the difficult task of developing qualified leadership in missionary areas.

As brother Brooks points out in his good article:

"The Peter Principle points out that it is difficult for humans to judge in advance. We may note what one has done, but it is hard for us to know with certainty what one will do, or what one is capable of doing."

To put it another way, as mere mortals, we can't judge a book by its cover — but God can! (1 Samuel 16:6-13).
