best book i have ever read: It helped my church go from 200 to 500 in just 2 months Ron Martoia is awsome he is one of the most influential authors I have ever read.
a postmodern experience: You want to evoke change in yourself and your church? Do yourself a favor and 'Morph'. Viritually every page was a new experience. By far the best book on personal and corporate leadership I've read to date.
Leadership God's way: Ignore the reader from Lynn, MA's comment - he/she simply doesn't get it. There is something seriously wrong with 'Church' as we know it. It's become just another religion - yes my friend - almost all of them. It's clear that this person has not even read the book, let alone bought it, because if he/she did, they would have found it full of truth from God's Word, and would see leadership from a new plane. I think the title will scare many a 'charasmatic' Christian, as we are so apt at seeing the world through our catch phrases and bumper sticker theology that it could sound like something New Age-y - but not so. Ron brilliantly describes leadership that made me go wow-wow-wow almost every page. I will have to read it five times just to grasp all truths in this jam packed book. I am an artistic Christian, and Ron's methods certainly will help us re-define what the Church will look like in the next century. If you are happy and content with singing five songs, doing a message and taking up the offering - then by all means - help yourself - it's a free world. But if you long for different and higher dimensions in God, then I strongly suggest you read this book, not only if you are a leader, but also if you have any sphere of influence - which should be ALL Christians. Thanks Ron - I don't know you, but I really enjoyed your journey and you have imparted truths which will change my life forever.
Indespensible Read: A thorough and utterly engaging read on the nature and shape of emerging church leadership. This book needs to be read by everyone--young and old, amateur and expert. A great guide (and window?) into the texture of tomorrow's church landscape.
Highly Recommended: This is a groundbreaking book about Church leadership. As a pastor, it has given me new insights into leadership for the Twenty-first Century. A definite must-read.
