In this book, Al shares an array of personal and professional insights, none of which can be fully understood and applied without Jesus Christ as our life center and his presence in the invaluable friendships he gives us. This book is a good as it gets. It’s profoundly insightful. It’s said that prophets are seers. To me Al is a prophetic counselor because of his uncanny and sometimes unsettling ability to see into me and through me. If you are close-minded, don’t read this book! But if you want life-changing insights grounded in God’s word, get ready to be challenged and changed. And certainly talk about what you read with your friends.

Al Ells has written a book of great importance to everyone who is leading an organization!  Not only do we, as leaders, want to survive our leadership role, but we want to thrive in it as well.  Al has very practical insights on how to do that in whatever position of leadership you might find yourself in.  Al has been incredibly helpful in my personal leadership role over the years and has offered me great wisdom and insight. I have recommended Al's other books and publications to many, many leaders over the years and I highly recommend this book as well.
