The addition of the Playbook is a great compliment to the book for personal growth or a leader guide if you are leading/ teaching a group. Get the set!
I was only three chapters in when I went from, “Is this book for me?” to “Wow! How did I not know this?” I love Tom Lane’s transparency as he shares personal lessons learned in life and ministry. I deeply appreciate his challenge for us to walk with an attitude of humility and accountability. This book is rich in group discussion points that are thought-provoking as well as spiritual challenging. This will help anyone in ministry to grow in their calling. I highly recommend it.
This is the perfect tool to use alongside the book. This playbook breaks the lesson down even further for deeper critical thinking. The teaching tools are a bonus!
