This book has given me insight into how a Godly marriage functions and what I kind of agreements I can establish in my future marriage. Would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is married or wants to be.
A great book packed with nuggets of biblical and practical wisdom. The first chapter spends time discussing concepts from Shakespeare that were meant to give understanding to the content of the book. I feel this was unnecessary - the book's wisdom stood on its own. Otherwise, it was an excellent book that we will be using for leadership development at our church going forward.
The author's introduction says it all - our parental toolbelts are fashioned after the best systematic theology, yet lacking in good tools.
A much needed wrestling with of the topic that encouraged my soul
Naselli’s book is a breath of fresh air in an era of “post-scamdemic” vitriol. Never has reading God’s Word well been of more importance for Americans than our current age. Brother Naselli offers wise guidance to the Church on what sort of reading habits are more likely to bear fruit than others. Thank you, Canon Press, for publishing this treasure.
The Things of Earth: Treasuring God by Enjoying His Gifts (2nd Ed)
Joe did a good job explaining his assessment and solution for leadership with men. The beginning starts out a bit slow and difficult to really grab hold of the plot, but as you keep reading it starts to fit in place.
Doug does a very good job explaining how he came to the understanding of text as he goes through the entire book line by line.
Single and Satisfied: A Grace-Filled Calling for the Unmarried Woman
I have read and reread this several times. I have also heard Dr. Rigney speak on it too. This book is a MUST read for all who are in leadership. But it is also a MUST read for all church members, parents, teachers, and students. So basically everyone should read this. Our men at our church are reading it this summer and I expect it will have a great impact on our church. Thank you for the great book.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book on the app so I purchased it. I've been giving it away as a gift to friends that have boys
I appreciate Joe Rigney’s perspective on the “both/and” of this topic.
Loved it. Biblical and practical. Would highly recommend!
Leadership and Emotional Sabotage: Resisting the Anxiety That Will Wreck Your Family, Destroy Your Church, and Ruin the World
I have passed this out to all my elders, many future elders, and even led a local group of automotive dealership leaders through this book.
If only someone could get a copy of this into every pastor, businessman, and politican, we would turn this sinking ship of a nation around.
We bought for all the elders at our church, and then bought another 20 copies for our wives and other people in the church.
Biblical, practical, and addresses our current situation.
Leadership and Emotional Sabotage: Resisting the Anxiety That Will Wreck Your Family, Destroy Your Church, and Ruin the World
I'm going to be recommending this book to a lot of pastors, fathers, and Christian leaders. Biblical, insightful, and impactful.
This book is worthy of a formal review. But for this purpose, I will only say that this is a must read for any in church leadership. I intend to take my elders and deacons through it for years to come.
Practically though, anyone I believe would benefit from the simple and practical lessons communicated in classic Rigney style.
Read and enjoy and read again.
ND Wilson spins a fascinating story in league with the fantasy greats. It's a series I can feel good about handing to my kids, highly recommend!
Every Christian leader must read this book! From fathers in the home to pastoral leaders, Rigney’s work provides insight into the methods of sabotage that faithful leaders will encounter. In addition to exposing the problems, Rigney provides solutions and guidance to help leaders remain calm, focused, and resolved to lead the way God has called.
