Book Review: The Feiner Points of Leadership
If there is one book I could say would most practically help every Pastor, both lead and associate, function in a healthy way, this would be it. I’ll be honest and say that if I knew what I have just read in this book before going into the “workforce”, I wouldn’t have had to learn…

Book Review: The Top Ten Mistakes Leaders Make
Today I “threw down” on a book that was given to me last night by one of the members of our church. He noticed that I was on a Leadership Book kick and tossed me a book that impacted him in the arena of his “secular profession.” I have read MANY leadership books, and I…
Book Review: Overcoming the Dark Side of Leadership
I’m on a leadership book reading kick, so what you’ll see happening in the next posts is a barrage of books that I have read, or am reading that I have yet to review. I’m going to start with a book I pulled off my Pastor’s book shelf called, “Overcoming the Dark Side of Leadership.”…
Book Review: Holy Discontent
A couple of weeks ago, this book was placed in my hand. It’s Holy Discontent by Bill Hybels. Here are a couple of phrases that caught my attention and have sparked an inward paradigm shift in regards to how I view and handle “Personal Vision” “The best thing that you can do is to move…
