Book Review: If Jesus were Mayor by Bob Moffitt with Karla Tesch

If Jesus were Mayor by Bob Moffitt with Karla Tesch.
Have you ever imagined the Lord Jesus being your local city/town chief? I have to admit that the question runs counter my usually image of Him.
Should your local church abruptly close its doors, would your community fight for it to reopen? If yes, why would it do that?
Bod argues that in fact Jesus is Mayor and that he intends to bring transformation to the world through the local church and individual Christians as His agents on the ground.
This book will help you reconsider the role of the local church in your community.
The authors give practical tools and examples that can help a church get started on the journey to transformation by applying what they call the Church DNA.
Accomplishing this transformation will require: Humility, Love, Works of service and Unity.
Hmmmm, you'll also love the part about Kingdom Mathematics.

The Spirit-Led Leader by Timothy C. Geoffrion

Image
After prayerfully reading this book, “Leadership beyond human striving” would be a great summary to this profound call to be Spirit-Led Leaders! Timothy opens us to his own personal journey to become a Spirit-led leader. He graciously shares his struggles along this journey and openly confesses that he is still on the journey to be a better Spirit-led leader day after day. In a world where all processes and methods are being systematized, where leadership has been made to become an art and science that anyone can learn without the help of spirituality, the author recaptures the importance of integrating spirituality in our every-day leadership, which he argues should stem from our personal and yielded walk with God and surrender to his Spirit. The author essentially shows that our relationship with God should inform and empower all we are given to do. As Spirit-led leaders, every aspect of our leadership should be influenced by our sense of connection to God. This is leading while bein...

Image
What if you could find an easy and proven way to build good habits and break bad ones? What if you could make tiny changes and produce remarkable results? In this book, Author James Clear presents a revolutionary way to get 1 percent better every day.

His injury and recovery reveal how changes that seem small and unimportant at first will compound into remarkable results if one will to stick with them in the long haul. The author sh...

Les raisons de mon engagement politique (Et en politique)

Les raisons de mon engagement politique (Et en politique) 1. La politique 2. Mon engagement 3. Pourquoi maintenant ? 4. Pourquoi Ensemble pour la République ? 5. Un mot sur mon engagement Chrétien 6. Conclusion 1. La politique Si la politique désigne ce qui est relatif à l’organisation d’une cité ou d’un état et aussi à l’exercice du pourvoir dans une société organisée ; alors on pourrait dire que nous avons plus de politiciens que nous le pensons, ou du moins que tous ceux qui désirent, rêvent de faire quelque chose pour améliorer l’organisation de la cité/l’état sont des politiciens potentiels. Dans mon parcours, j’ai rencontré ce désir de voir une cité organisée chez la quasi-totalité de mes interlocuteurs, bien qu’avec différents niveaux de passion, de connaissance sur l’état et d’engagement. Si ce désir existe, pourquoi ne sommes-nous pas tous des politiciens ? En réponse à cette question de la non implication de la majorité des gens en politique, il y a trois (3) ra...
