Leaders, Do Unto Others: Brief Meditations on Leading and Learning and Loving
These thirty brief meditations for leaders are based upon The Golden Rule of doing unto others as you would have them do unto you. “David Harwood combines decades of pastoral ministry with a deep, personal spirituality and a solid grasp of God’s Word. You will be enriched and helped as you read this practical book, especially if you are a leader in the Body.”—Dr. Michael Brown “It’s an honor for me to endorse David Harwood’s book. Why? Because he’s a great friend. But more than that, because he practices what he preaches. The man spills love everywhere he goes. As you read this book, you’re sitting at the feet of a veteran in the faith who has tested and proven these truths through practical living. Pull up a chair, get close, and take the time to learn from one of the Lord’s favorites.”—Bob Sorge

Book: **
Performance: ***
Highly Repetitive and Jumbled Collection of Scripture Points
It was a good concept/sentiment that just didn’t deliver for me. because it was basically a bunch of scripture quotes with a ton of shallow, fluffy, word salad that knits it all together in a confusing mass that has no practical point outside of telling the reader to just be good. In fact, if you are even remotely a student of christian scripture, this book offers very little beyond that (with almost no exegesis or explaining of how the quoted scripture actually applied to the point being discussed) … and it was even less of a help on how to actually be an effective christian leader (for which it has nearly zero examples or illustrations outside of simply quoting scripture). After each “reflection”, there is a quick prayer that has the potential to explain some of the point the reflection was trying to teach … with some being more effective than others. While the narration was good enough for the genre and material, it wasn’t anything special.
