This book is filled with wisdom and practicality. Rod writes with the depth and integrity of living these principles out and with the heart of a pastor. Having spent time with Pastor Rod, this book felt like sitting down and having a conversation with him. Every time I have a conversation with him, I leave better, and this book is no different. You will be better by reading and living this.

I absolutely loved this book. I listened to the podcast where he basically gives the contents of the book as a lecture/sermon twice before finally reading the book. The book goes into much more detail. If you're in leadership, especially church leadership, this should be required reading.
