What People Say About
Leading From Your Strengths
“This is a great book. Excellent presentation, easy to read, great importance, could be life-changing.” Daniel H.
“If you are involved with a ministry team, church staff, supporting a mission team or an elder overseeing a church staff, this book can be a helpful guide down the white water of ‘team shock’ associated with personality conflicts and team dynamics.” Greg T.
“This is an excellent book for teams to read together and work through. It is written in an easy-flowing style that brings you into the story. To get the most benefit from the book, I highly recommend taking the assessment test which can be found online. The material in the book along with the assessment really gives a great picture of who you are and shows how you interact and communicate with others. I would recommend the book and assessment for all team members and new hires.” Mark P.
“After buying this book, I could not put it down. It is simply structured and to the point, with short chapters and understandable English. The information is very practical with a storyline (white river rafting — you will enjoy) and journal-type questions at the end of each chapter, made it easy to follow in a busy work schedule. Although this book is published for those in church ministry, it is just as applicable in the secular and business world. I will strongly recommend this practical book to new upcoming church planters, dynamic Christian organizations, and “Christians at Work” support groups.” Manual T.
