A helpful read for ministry leaders, but not something you probably haven’t read before. The book reads as an adaptation of a leadership conference with power point slides included. While his leadership principles are not unbiblical, Burke’s claim they are rooted in Jesus ministry is a stretch. Instead Burke presents eight principles for effective organizational leadership with Christian flare. I think I would have gotten more out of it by reading alongside other people and working through the discussion questions together.

This book has taught me how to let go, not be so controlling, to be a better leader through delegation and in the end freed me up to pursue other things that matter to me.
