Churches & Church Leadership
Review:I enjoyed reading about notable Christians of the past, some I am familiar with and others not. I did, however, find my mind wandering as I was still reading the words. I wouldn't say I would recall very well what I read for the most part. Read more
Review:The book, "Barking to the Choir" is a spectacularly moving book. I wrote notes on many of the pages as I read the book. In fact, I was so mesmerized, I purchased five more copies to give to others. The messages of the book deeply reached me personally and for the work that I do. Read more
Review:It was very interesting, especially the 5 purposes of the church and how there needs to be balance of all five for a church to thrive. Being a military spouse and attending churches all over the world, it was illuminating to think back to each church and see which ones were attentive to all the purposes and which were not.
