Good ideas as a base, but the book did not go as in-depth as I would have liked. Thus it felr scattered, weak, and generally lacking in new insights for me. Osbaldiston talks through different leaders' lives as a way to show how to live an integrated life. For the way I reason, I would have found it more powerful if he had started with principles and then illustrated it with examples. Purely talking through examples contributed to the scattered feeling and also made it more specific, less generally applicable.

The above is a matter of preference. My biggest objection is probably that Osbaldiston defines risk as "the uncertainty that surrounds the outcome of any activity" and then says that Jesus going to calvary is the ultimate example of risk taking. This implies that Jesus had uncertainty about the results of the cross. Since Jesus is God, I take issue with this.
