[Seth]

Take heed, church leader, and read this book. A stellar call away from cultural Christianity.

[Grace Wright]

‘There is always more of me that has to die.’

This was quite possible the best leadership book I’ve ever read. As Scot McKnight wrote, this is ‘an apostolic, pneumatic, and christological pastoral theology.’ A call to the ‘hungry, holy, and humble’, it is a critically important corrective to leadership in our time.

[Kris Culver]

I believe that this is THE book on leadership for the modern church leader. Grateful for Alain’s articulation of the current western church’s shortcomings while graciously calling us higher. If you want to be motivated to become like Jesus, this is for you.

[Ben Askew]

Some very helpful insights generously shared. Found the last few chapters especially useful.

[Matt]

Very good. I'll be coming back to this one and recommending it to friends.

[Breanna Bennett]

A must read for every leader within the Body of Christ!
