STILL: Leading with Presence in an Age of Chaos - Where Striving Ends, True Leadership Begins.
When the waves rise, most leaders reach for control. Jesus reached for a pillow.
In an age addicted to urgency, Still invites you to lead from presence, not pressure.
Crisis doesn't just challenge your leadership; it reveals it. Plans unravel. Strategies fail. Charisma fades. For many Christian leaders, what once felt like a calling now feels like survival.
Through personal failures, painful turning points, and two decades of ministry, from national to cross-cultural contexts, Agustin "Gusti" Prenga shares hard-won wisdom for leading with clarity, peace, and spiritual authority that gives life rather than grasps for control.
This is not a book of quick fixes or performance hacks. It's an honest invitation into leadership forged not in success, but in surrender. When human strength collapses, God invites us to lead in His presence.
In these pages, you'll discover how
Cultivate spiritual confidence that steadies anxious systems and gently points people to JesusReplace reactivity with Holy Spirit shaped discernmentAnchor your calling in God's presence, not people's expectationsCultivate sustainable rhythms of rest, reflection, and resilienceTrust God's timing (kairos) over constant urgency (chronos)
Whether you're pastoring a church, leading a mission, mentoring others, or quietly influencing your community, Still will help you lead with steady grace, even when the storm doesn't stop.
When chaos demands everything, stillness changes everything.

Still: Leading with Presence in an Age of Chaos doesn’t feel like a typical leadership book. It feels more like an honest conversation over coffee with a friend and mentor who truly wants the best for you.
Because I know Gusti personally, I recognized his voice right away: calm, thoughtful, pastoral, and vulnerable. But even if you don’t know him, the book stands on its own as a collection of wisdom shaped over many years of prayer, leadership, mistakes, faithfulness, and waiting.
This is not a book about quick solutions or leadership tricks. It’s a journey from anxious, reactive leadership toward a way of leading that is rooted in listening to God.
What also makes this book very practical are the reflection and discussion questions at the end of each section. They invite you to slow down, be honest, and apply what you’re reading in real life—personally and in community.
The leadership this book points to is life-giving: humble, unhurried, and deeply faithful. I’ve personally gained so much from conversations with Gusti, and this book feels like those conversations written down in a clear and very timely way.
