Real Answers from a Dynamic Leader

Ed has written a great book for pastors, church planters, and those with a stake in the local church. He doesn't sugarcoat his leadership journey that began as a small church plant to one of the largest churches in America. One of my favorite chapters is "3 Things They Didn't Teach Me in Seminary." Ed's unique leadership style and creative bent makes this book a must read. He gives a real insight into his church with help such as: how to improve your creativity, how to hire and fire staff members, etc. This book is unlike other leadership books that are mainly philosophical in nature. I believe this book will give you real answers and fresh ideas to better lead in your own context. Get it!
