As we’ve been preparing for our move to MN, we’ve been getting together with some friends for final farewells. I had borrowed this book from one of those couples and had actually forgotten that I still had it. So when I found it while packing I decided to give this book a review before it…

Book RE_review: The Top Ten Mistakes Leaders Make
Whenever I read this book, it’s always a constant battle to resist pointing my finger to people who have violated these principles. While some of the stories shared in the book appear to be a page taken out my my life, it took intentionality and some humble-pie to find out what I believe are things…
Book Review: The Principal of the Path by Andy Stanley
With all the books that I’ve been reading recently, this one seemingly is the one that sums up the main theme of what I’m re-discovering. I use the word “re-discovering” on purpose. What Andy writes about in this book is simple. It’s so simple that when I tell you, you’ll say, “I already know that!” …
Book RE_review: The Five Dysfunctions of a Team
When I first read this book I was new to organizational leadership. I didn’t realize the true implications of following or not following these principles would be. Three organizations later I understand that the principles found in this book are more than good suggestions for helping foster teamwork. They are rules that must be followed…
Book RE_review: The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership
Why a RE_review? WHAT IS A RE_review? Simply, it’s a chance for me to put in writing my habit of proactively pursuing a life long passion of developing as a leader. Since leaders are learners, and learners are readers, I have made it a practice of mine to always having the bible in one hand…

In John Maxwell’s newest book, Put Your Dream to the Test:10 Questions to help you see is and seize it, John tries to tackle the many questions about having life dreams/aspirations/goals and the path to pursue and hopefully achieve them. I’ll admit, the initial impression of what I thought the premise of this book would…
Book Review: The American Patriot’s Almanac
When I received my first book as Thomas Nelson book review blogger, I was excited. What I received in the mail was The American Patriot’s Almanac: Daily Readings on America. The first thing I noticed was that this book was really well made. It has a sturdy Red cloth binding and the artwork on the…
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: Made to Stick
When I saw here that Andy Stanley made his staff read this book and then covered it in a meeting, I thought that it would be something that I may benefit from. So I read it, and I’m glad I did. The basic idea of this book was to find out what were the similarities…
Book Review: Unchristian
Since I got this book from Baker Publishing, I’ve been excited to put up a review on it. The title of the book, Unchristian, can be a little misleading if you don’t read the subtitle. In short, this book is about how a specific generation (defined as mosaics: 16-29 yr olds) thinks about modern American…
