Courageous Leadership

Caution... Don't read this book if you are content

The local church is the hope of the world¿ That is the mantra of this book and by the time I was done reading it, I KNEW it was true. Bill Hybels writes with such passion, and helped me see that if we aren't giving our all to see our friends and family come to know Jesus, and get actively plugged in to a local, bible believing church, then we aren't really fulfilling the great commision. The only caution that I have with this book is that reading it will likely cause you to actually DO something with your faith¿ so don't start it if you are happy sitting on the sidelines.

Read at Your Own Risk - It will change You.

This has to be the most 'Kingdom-View Shaking' leadership book I have ever read. I listened to the tapes - 3 times, read the book - 5 times, and am now reading it again. It really threw my perspective into allignment. If you're not serious about doing church the right way - don't read it.

Grow your People then your Church will have Sustainable Growth

This is not a church growth book. It is a Pastor, Elder, Deacon, and Lay leader growth book. This book explains in great detail on how to grow an "Acts 2" person, church, family, or even a business for that matter. Even though its focused mainly on the leaders of a church, the principles and values can cross over to leaders in the secular world. Hybels 3 C¿s for hiring any employee is priceless and is a must for any church or business that wants to grow. I bought the CD¿s an have listened to them twice. I have given them to a coworker and he has really enjoyed them also. He is also a Elder in his church. We both agree that if the church is the hope of the world then we better start educating our church leaders. I believe that this book is the first book you need to read if you want sustainable growth.

Enlightening

I was looking for words on leadership and received insight into different aspects of it that apply to both church and everyday settings. Hybels does a good job at keeping balance between substance and example! It gives insight to the challenges of church workings and acquaints the leader with possible pitfalls to watch against. It is a good read!

An important book for all leaders

This book is not only the most important book he has ever written but is is a book no leader of the church needs pass up. He includes many great ideas to take your ministry to the next level.
