It's true. I haven't really read anything challenging or current in leadership, ministry or life (except the Bible) since defending my dissertation. But now, I think, I am ready to start reading again.
I was reading a blog www.stevenfurtick.com and loving his style and thoughts. Before I knew it I was glancing at his recommended reading list. Then, like old times, I was on amazon.com checking out a couple of the titles. Now, they're here. Authors I have read before so I am having flashbacks. I feel as if I am supposed to critique, write up a 10-20 page theologocial and methodological Praxis of Pentecostal leadership with case studies and so on.
However, I am encouraged with the trends, thoughts and suggestions of these writings. It seems that TC is intiutively doing and living these principles. God desires for us to stretch and continue to grow in all areas. (Can't just rely on the degrees) I am excited about what God has on the horizon for us at TC. I know that as we remain faithful and continue to listen to His voice and obey, He will take us to places never seen. Reading these books is great, but relying on His voice and plan will always prevail. It's a continual balancing act of exposure to other's insights and models and being true to oneself and the unqiue call and plan of God for our specific journey. Let me know what you think.
God bless,
