Transforming church in Rural America.. breaking all the Rurals.. By Shannon O'Dell.

I struggled to read this book. That said, i will read it again before passing it on to my pastor.
There were so many great points made in this book. Some were so simple that you wonder why they were included, others so simple that you wonder "why didn't i think of that", and still others that i haven't been able to categorize. I could easily go chapter by chapter and hit the high points, but i am going to give you some teasers.. read the book yourself.. you will have your spirit lifted and your heart for ministry returned to you.. or you will know that you are not destined to lead in your church and that's okay too..

... A red-hot marriage is a must in ministry. (unless you are single)
... Leadership is resisting the urge to settle!
... V.A.L.U.E.
... have a Phillipians 2:5 attitude!
... his will, his way, will never lack supply..

By the time I got to the end of the book, i wasn't sure why I struggled with reading it.. It's full of God's Word, direction, and encouragement.. Whoe doesn't need a little bit of that in their day?


I recieved this book from Booksneeze.com. There was no other compensation and my review was not required to be positive or negative. My views are my own.
