Annelise Morrison’s Reviews > Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership: Seeking God in the Crucible of Ministry > Status Update

“God is not in any particular hurry to get us to the Promised Land. He is much more concerned about the transforming work he is doing in us to prepare us for greater responsibilities of freedom living.”

I’d type out the whole book if I could. Highly recommend.

“Receive each breath as God’s gift to you, evidence that he wants you to be alive today.”

“Gods will for us is generally for us to do more of that which gives us life and to turn away from
those things that drain life from us and debilitate us.”

I’m having a hard time focusing on anything but this book in the slower moments of work today.

“Taking responsibility for oneself may well be more demanding than taking responsibility for a congregation or an organization!” Geez.

Off to make phone calls now but have a lot to think about after chapter 3!

“What lies beneath the surface - of the Oceania our lives - really matters…. This part of me, if left as it is, will be no good for anyone.”

Enjoying this one a lot!

“He knew that if his soul was to be well, he could not afford to live his life driven blindly by unexamined inner dynamics.”
