Understanding the “living system” of our church or congregational context and our part as a leader in that living system is at the heart of this enormously helpful and deeply grounded book.
It serves as a useful introduction to, or reminder of, the key principles of Bown family systems theory, and links these to the leader’s own journey of growth and discipleship.
Full of practical insights and wisdom, it is so much more than that. It is an invitation on a journey of personal transformation, understanding that any change in the culture of how a group lives together well in the face of disagreement begins in our own hearts and our own self-understanding.
As Emlyn Ott says in her review of this book: “This is not an item for your bookshelf but a living, breathing companion for everyday use.
