Loving on Purpose

review 1: This book is essential reading for any Christian leader, or leader in training, who is serious about having a meaningful impact on their region, and setting up an influential paradigm of service that pays dividends long after they're gone. Silk conveys great pastoral care with his insights into handling potentially volatile situations, expressing the superior goal of seeing people released to live Godly lives, not further binding them to their sin through shame. I know of no other book in modern history that dares approach the "golden calf" of modern church structure, and gently invites leaders to revise their operations to conform to a Biblical standard. Silk is tactful yet direct, loving yet serious. I further appreciate his ability to drive home loftier points with real... more-life examples—reminds me of Jesus' communication style. Quite effective and memorable. I heartily recommend this clarion call to summon leaders to their best days! May we walk in the gracious, revolutionary love of Jesus as we bring the realities of Heaven to earth. • ch:
review 2: Highly recommended because of it's tremendously important topic. However, throughout most of the book I was planning on giving it three stars. It seemed way too wordy to make the small (but important) points. It was a hard and boring read for the most part. BUT the last two chapters are soooo good. In summary, the intro, the examples of how Bethel practices honor when dealing with people who fell into sin in a few parts in the middle, and the last quarter of the book are well worth the slow and wordy parts. The book has stretched me and caused me to grow. I believe my life will bear positive fruit from reading this as I think yours would as well. And, it ended as a faster and more fun read than it started. I really enjoyed it. As a side note, chapter 2 can be a turn off because of what it seems like he is trying to say. It seems like he is setting up a religious, formulaic way to run a church - which people with which giftings should occupy which roles in the church to do church "right", basically pointing out that all the rest of us are doing it wrong. But by the end, you realize that he is really addressing priorities of focus not heirarchal structure. You will see that he is merely saying that our first priority as a church should be Heaven on Earth, Jesus at work. I say all this so you will not be turned off early if you happen to read it. This is a MUST READ for all church leaders. less
