Book Recommendation – “Scary Close”
The Latest Recommendation from Lee’s Bookshelf – “Scary Close: Dropping the Act and Finding True Intimacy” by Donald Miller. After decades of failed relationships and painful drama, Donald Miller decided he’d had enough. Impressing people wasn’t helping him connect with anyone. He’d built a life of public isolation, yet he dreamed of meaningful relationships. This is also an important leadership issue, too.
