Good Reading: Growth and Heart

I found these three books to be very helpful in my journey. I can easily be sidetracked by activity, so it is essential that I put concentrated effort into the development of my person.

Practicing Greatness: 7 Disciplines of Extraordinary Spiritual Leaders (J-B Leadership Network Series) by Reggie McNeal. Reggie! - nuff said. If you ever have a chance to hear him - do it. He is winsome and real and has sage advice.

Integrity: The Courage to Meet the Demands of Reality by Henry Cloud. Henry nails issues of growth for leaders (or anybody). Rarely are we stymied by our abilities - there is usually something else in the way.

Emotionally Healthy Spirituality: Unleash the Power of Authentic Life in Christ by Peter Scazzero. Peter takes you on a journey involving deep positive change. As the tag line says - "It is impossible to be spiritually mature, while remaining emotionally immature."
