Three book recommendations

I’m an inveterate reader, and usually have several books going at the same time. It’s been enjoyable to read these three together, as one gets new insights into the other. I recommend them.

Spiritual Leadership (Henry and Richard Blackaby, 2001)
After Oswald Sanders fine book by the same title, I think this is the best book on Christian leadership I’ve read. The Blackabys’ functional definition of spiritual leadership is dead-on: “Helping people hear God’s voice, and obey it.”

TrueFaced (Bill Thrall, Bruce McNicol, and John Lynch, 2003)
You’ll get very uncomfortable reading this book. The authors do a great job dissecting the nature of our sin.

Unstuck ( KeithYamashita, Sandra Spataro, 2004)
Not a Christian book, but an excellent book to review if you lead teams or work on projects. The diagnostic tools to identify why your team is stalled (or “stuck”) are terrific, and there are many helpful prescriptions for getting “unstuck.”
