Readers Are Leaders

Among the people I trust and respect most, Paul David Tripp's book Lead: 12 Gospel Principles for Leadership in the Church comes highly recommended. So I started listening to that one on Audible yesterday, and I am about halfway through it now. But I will confess to being wary. Please take no offense if you can only find good things to say about this book or its author, but I intend to do a full review and unpack and analyze my discomfort. Part of that discomfort can be unpacked now and already before I have finished the book. The rest will have to wait, and it is good to reserve judgment until the full argument has been laid out. In the interest of full disclosure, I have been hurt as a leader in church and by leaders in the church. So my guard is up. Perhaps it should be, and perhaps it should not always be. Time will tell, and let God's Word be our guide in that regard no less than in others.
