Good
to Great is the best business book that I have ever read. That
is saying a lot given that I'm 50 years old and have read voraciously
since the third grade! The concepts in Good to Great are definitely
applicable to ministry. I was so excited to discover that Jim Collins
had written a
Monograph
for the Social Sectors (above middle) that I ordered it on the spot.
When it arrived I read it through immediately and began to share it
with my partners in ministry. I cannot recommend it enough.

Tears Again There is a mystery about tears sometimes, when they appear as a gift divine descending like a torrent or a flood that nothing can deter, stop, dam. They come unbidden, swift. Their flow is free, and yet they are a weight that prostrates a soul to earth and seems to push it into dirt until it is one with it. There is a mystery about tears sometimes, as if they were not human but divine. . . as if the heart of God could not contain its pain and in his love has found one to share his tears. There is a mystery about tears sometimes, when one knows without knowing that his soul must cry. For tears like that alone, can pierce a stony heart that does not want to love. -from Lubov the Heart of the Beloved..., by Catherine Doherty |
