Seriously …
this was a great book. Anne did a
fantastic job at identifying a problem within the church. She gives readers a clear picture of what
many of us have and are experiencing in ministry. She helps you diagnose where you are at and
then gives suggestions for how to live & minister in a way that honors
God. This is a good tool for leaders and
for teams to work through together.
