Teach Your Team to Fish


Hey everyone! Let me introduce you to my new book that I am reading, that is under my reader's digest label. It is titled "Teach your Team to Fish" by Laurie Beth Jones. She is also the author of "Jesus. CEO". I was introduced to this book by a great mentor and friend, Pastor Victor Rosario. He read an insert to us in a meeting that we had this week and I quickly had interest in the book. Have you ever read or heard someone read a book and right away you just knew that you had to get a copy for yourself becuase it was what you needed for right now? Well that is how I felt and I did. So far I am on chapter 2 and it is blowing my mind away! Seriously! This Leadership book illustrates the life of Jesus and goes in detail on His leadership strategies and approach. It also shows the reader how Jesus' leadership was able to make such an impact in peoples lives that they were willing to die for the truths that He brought to them and a cause that was greater than them. The leadership strategies and truths that our brought in this book are really challenging me and taking me deeper. I highly recommend this book for anyone that is in a leadership position either in the secular or ministerially.

What book/s are you reading at this time? Please share! Thanks


Until next time


Stay blessed!

Worship Matters

What is up mi gente! Hope you have had a great week as we wrap it up and head towards the weekend. Oh yeah! Well I am sitting here in my office and I figured I would share with you what I have been soaking my brain in lately. Last week I posted up a question in theworshipcommunity.com (by the way if you haven't checked this website out, it is a definate must that you do). This is an awesome website full of a lot of information regarding worship and they have an amazing forum full of passionate worshipers.

Anyways I wanted to know what was a good book out there that I could read that was worship related and that went deep into worship topics, lifestyle, theory, etc. I wanted the whole shabang! (I hope that is how you spell it) So Fred (which is the man in charge of creating theworshipcommunity.com) told me about this book titled, "Worship Matters". I went to amazon.com to read a little on it and just by reading a tiny bit that they give, it ministered to me. It was a must have for me. So immediately bought and I am so glad I did. I headed to chapeter 3 and I am already blessed. Any singer, worship leader/director, musician, whether you are new to the ministry or have been involved with worship for years, I highly recommend this book. This is one of a few worship related books that I have. I have a bunch of leadership books, inspirational books, etc. but I always wonder why I never invested in more worship/leadership books. There is always a starting point. I am excited about this book and hope that you can consider reading it as well.

Keep checking me out at my readers digest label, as I keep you posted on all the books that I read.

Until next time,

Stay blessed!
