47 ratings4 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I found the model of the four quadrants profound in its simplicity for helping leaders understand the significance of both vulnerability and authority in order to enable true flourishing
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Amazing truths leadership ; well worth the to Time to read and/ or listen to
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Really good, thought provoking book that sets up a helpful framework for how we should be leaders and care for the weak in our communities.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Simply put, a fantastic description of what it means to truly flourish - to live a life that is truly living. Crouch uses not only Biblical examples found in Christ, but also everyday examples of things we all know, experience and hear about in the world around us to illustrate his point - that to truly live we each have to embrace our vulnerability as well as our authority. Crouch hits the mark perfectly, even making you a little uncomfortable at times, which we need.
