So What?
This is the first time since I shifted away from reviews to recommendations that I have no books rated 5 (much less the rare but so very impressive 5+). This group’s reading does, however, feature many books well worth the read for those interested in the subject matter each covers. Molly Phinney Baskette’s volume is a great resource guide since it both tells the story of her experience and includes documents she used in her ministry while turning a church around.
Readers of this blog have introduced me to many great books and authors over the years. I invite you to suggest a book I simply must read. Be sure to share why you think that I would appreciate your recommendation.
