Never has the need for church planting been more acute or more
necessary. The world around us is beset with problems of every
kind-political, social, economic, racial, and moral. The list is
endless, and the difficulties are systemic and entrenched. The best
minds, institutions, and efforts are being marshaled to address
these problems, but are we getting to the root issues? Could it be
that the solutions lie elsewhere? Indeed, the greatest reformer to
ever live told us the hope we need comes from the church. Yes, the
church, as anemic and as irrelevant as it may seem to some (or
many). Jesus said of the community He would birth, "You are the
light of the world and the salt of the earth" (Matt. 5:13-14). The
church, in all its forms, from small to big, whether found in the
countryside or in megacities is God's redeeming force for society,
for culture, and for the nations. The church is God's secret weapon
and His change agent for the world. He's all in on the church. As
such the church is God's organizational servant on the earth. It's
to be an enterprise of the highest quality. It's to sparkle with
kingdom power, love, and truth. As Ephesians 3:10 states, "[God's]
intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God
should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly
realms." For such a task, outstanding leaders are needed. Great
leaders are not just for the arenas of business, politics, or the
military. The church must also focus on recruiting, training, and
deploying the best. As the leader goes, so goes the organization.
This book assists in the great endeavor of planting churches. It
gives church planters a biblical and conceptual framework so they
can be armed with a map for how to go about establishing new works.
This framework is rooted in the humble yet glorious, small yet
significant, quiet yet powerful ways of Jesus.

Disruptive leadership is a topic generating intense interest.
Companies all over the world are trying to upend their industry
through innovative products and services. Becoming a disruptive
organization, however, is easier said than done. Even more
difficult is being a company that continually disrupts. Is it
possible to discern a code for how companies can achieve this? In
this highly readable and engaging book, a disruptive leadership
framework is proposed in which caring deeply is placed at the
center of the model. By turning care into a focal point, a
triphasic model is proposed that moves from the personal sphere
(individual), to the corporate arena (organizational), and then to
the global stage (impact). Nine keys are identified along this path
for how companies can realize organizational excellence. While care
may seem like a soft concept in the rough and tumble world of
business, it is argued how it is actually an inspired manner for
providing direction, structure, and know-how that leads to powerful
outcomes. Apple is profiled as a leading example of leveraging what
is termed the technology of caring deeply. Other companies, such as
Nike, IKEA, Zappos, Starbucks are also profiled. Finally, a
leadership canvas is provided to help activate the lessons shared
in the book.
