Customer Reviews

Chruch Team
I was slightly disappointed in this book. While it is solid from a spiritual basis, it is weak on the nuts and bolts, which is where many of us are seeking help.

Heart First
Pastor Wayne shares his success in touching and encouraging people to live kingdom values. He teaches us the importance of following Jesus Christ and loving people with an attitude that emphasizes heart first.
Doing Church as a Team encourages each one of us to use our indivdual gifts together as a team to share the Goods News in a powerful way and touch lives for Jesus Christ

Rough read, Great workbook
The most important thing to know is don't give up, the second half of the book is better than the first half!

Please let me write the few negatives first, the book overall is an excellent value. I try to always give 4 stars, but this was a bit choppy to read. Also, the statement on page 17, where God asks "How many people did you bring with you?" probably isn't scripturally correct.

That said, it is a useful book if you go through the exercises and it is a great pointer for further information available from New Hope.

Also Wayne Cordeiro's approach to leadership has clearly been forged through real world experience. It is funny how similar the books are from the great leaders that have truly been there, done that. And yet, each time you read the importance of vision, mission, goals with metrics to ensure you are on target, the way each author spins it adds another nugget or six.

I particularly enjoyed the discussion of why a leader must fashion his own trumpet based on Numbers 10:3-5. It is so true we much each develop our own style.

Another great bit of wisdom is the section beginning on page 203, "To Change Things, Tell Them What Will Not Change". It is one of the better treatments of change management I have ever encountered.

Another church based leadership book that would go hand in glove with this is Finzel's Top Ten Mistakes Leaders Make. I think of that as the "ouch" book, as in "Ouch! Doctor, it hurts every time I do this".
