Loved it! Some favorite quotes:

The sticky church paradigm is not primarily about church growth. It's about church health. It's not about hoarding people or refusing to release them to ministry and mission. It's simply about keeping them connected to the church long enough to fulfill the second half of the Great Commission: "Teaching them to obey all things I have commanded you." ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68433866 to: The 360 Degree Leader Workbook: Developing Your Influence from Anywhere in the Organization (Paperback) by John C.
