It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. |
One wonders how a corporare board would react when the disccovered that Jesus-CEO had put Mark 10:21 into effect as a corporate policy.
Really, this has to be the dumbest title in history. |

Dissappointing, full of error and new age 'spirituality'. |
| There was very little in this book that would be useful for leading anyone to Christ, which is what Godly leadership is all about. Scripture was used out of context in far too many places. Never was an emphasis made on encouraging a personal relationship with Christ. There is no way that a person can SUCCESSFULLY use the concepts that Christ taught without KNOWING Him personally. There was lots of talk about being spiritual, but NONE about knowing the Holy Spirit. I would highly recommend, instead, James Hunter's "The Servant". |

Letting the Truth Lead |
I choose this book for a communication class I have been working on, the assignment was to create a speech based on a book of our choice. The speech was to be directed to a group of prospective peers in a professional environment, such as a Rotary club. The group receiving my speech was to be encouraged to follow my direction, I was to communicate to them that I was a good example of a leader and should be trusted and followed. I came across this book late into the list of acceptable choices and recalled my father reading it several years back. I cannot think of a better book to read for insight on leadership and pragmatic business. The book overlaps so many genres; it is comprehensive to any vocation, any personal investment, or any relationship. Laurie Beth Jones also paid careful attention to the lay-out, done in a logical progression of, self to others. I was particularly attracted to the rationality of using the fundamental teachings of Jesus Christ and applying them to success. I beleive all too often people/readers have difficulty seperating religion from practical day-to-day business, leadership, teaching, ect.... The way Jones presents the teachings of Christ makes it an easy read for all ages, something that I beleive is incredibly difficult. Her skill in understanding of the verses of the bible, present the theories so that people can easily make them applicable to their lives. Well done.
That simplicity is also sometimes dangerous, as people often think they have a full understanding of a subject after reading a great text said in plain easily understood language.
I had diceded to use this book for a vehicle to deliveer my speech to an imaginery group of educators, parents, and student. I was delivering it as if I were a teacher for a Christain based school district. My goal was to get people excited about getting involved as a community to teach and raise the community's children-together. I beleive we have become so isolated and so afraid of other people getting involved with our "business." People have taken their children and made them into possessions, when God's teachings clearly tell us we are all brothers & sisters. We clearly need one another, what perfect reminder of that than the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. |
