« Previous Entries Next Entries »Book: Silos, Politics, & Turf Wars
Tuesday, May 27th, 2008Just finished up Patrick Lencioni’s Silos, Politics, & Turf Wars one of his leadership fables. Great read and very helpful for where we find ourselves at the moment. The basic idea is that organizations who find their backs against the wall must work together in concert to survive. In these moments of [...]
Building Leaders - Empowerment
Wednesday, May 7th, 2008I just finished Malphurs chapter The Challenge of Empowerment in Building Leaders (co-written with Will Mancini). You need to rush out and buy this book. It has been great to this point and so far their chapter on empowerment is worth the price of the book. Great stuff.
Here are some thoughts throughout [...]
Mark Dever: The Gospel and Personal Evangelism
Wednesday, April 16th, 2008I just finished up Mark Dever’s book, The Gospel & Personal Evangelism this morning. It was a helpful little book (only 120 pages long).
Chapters:
1. Why Don’t We Evangelize?
2. What Is the Gospel?
3. Who Should Evangelize?
4. How Should We Evangelize?
5. What Isn’t Evangelism?
6. What Should We Do After We [...]
Jimmy Swaggart Commentary Set (Update)
Friday, April 11th, 2008*A Friday afternoon interlude*
First off I discovered that ABC’s price on the set is quite competitive. So for anyone looking to buy, that’s the place to go.
But before you head over there is something you might want to know. I don’t know if you realized this but apparently Swaggart was a part of several scandals. [...]
Used Books Rule
Friday, April 11th, 2008I made several great finds at Redeemed Books & Music today (Thursday). Found several commentaries I need for upcoming teaching series this summer. And found a few things I didn’t realize I needed.
I am going to compare prices on a few more things they had to see if they’re worth [...]
Used Book Shopping
Thursday, April 10th, 2008I had about 30 minutes to hit one of my favorite used book stores around. I didn’t have any luck today. Or maybe that’s just because I am working hard to only purchase things I need.
Anyway, the strangest thing I have seen in while was located in the used book store. A complete Jimmy Swaggart [...]
Book: 9 Marks Of A Healthy Church
Friday, December 7th, 2007As I finish up my piping hot bowl of gumbo on this cold wintry day I was reminded of my first encounter with Mark Dever. In my seminary program I was given 9 Marks of a Healthy Church along with an audio interview with Dever. As far as first impressions go Dever’s [...]
Book: Death By Meeting
Monday, October 22nd, 2007I recently finished up Patrick Lencioni’s Death By Meeting. I first came into contact with Lencioni at the 2006 Leadership Summit. I found this book extremely helpful with so many corollaries for ministry that make it a must read for every leader. Of course, I must also admit that I have yet to fully implement [...]
Book: The Mission of God
Monday, September 3rd, 2007I am just finishing up Chris Wright’s tome, The Mission of God: Unlocking the Bible’s Grand Narrative which has been a great read this summer (and it has taken me most of the summer to work through it). I hope to have a few thoughts up later in the week but I wanted to put [...]
Book: Why Men Hate Going to Church
Tuesday, June 19th, 2007After hearing much about this book over the last year I finally picked it up and I am glad I did. Often for me there are books that I read where the author puts words to things I have intuitively sensed or thought about myself or what I see around me. Why Men [...]
