review 1: Many books on leadership focus on what to do without specifically saying what not to do. And this book does both. This should be required reading for every Christian leader in ministry. I've thought through many of these mistakes, experienced them in my own life, and after reading this book, I'm able to further articulate them--and avoid them! I believe every mistake he writes about is essential. I especially enjoyed the chapters on "Allowing Comparing to Replace Contentment" and "Allowing Perennially Hurting People to Replace Potential Hungry Leaders."As I read it, I felt like I was sitting down with an well-rounded, wise ministry leader who has experienced many years of what to do and what not to do. And since Dave Kraft is local to southern California, I had the opport... moreunity to have lunch with him; that experience was the same as the book: learning practical, wise principles for Christian leadership and ministry.I highly recommend!
review 2: Pastor Dave Kraft is one of the most influential leaders I know. He has poured his heart out into shepherding, training, loving, and discipling Christian ministry and Church leaders for over 30 years. This book is based on mistakes He has seen and made himself. Dave is super creative with the text using a fictitious church staff to highlight and showcase common mistakes any of us could easily make. I always glean much needed insight and wisdom from Daves teachings. This book really spells out things Pastor Dave has been consistently warning and speaking into for a long time. I am thankful that we get such a concise slice of his brain in this book. I love the prayers of repentance at the end of each chapter. This shows Pastor Kraft in his best and most influential spot, Leading with Repentance! I love it. He then follows up with a few questions for us to contemplate, and prayerfully consider ourselves. If you take the time to do this you also will be led to repentance. This book is a must read for any Christian leading a team. less
