I just finished reading a book entitled, Innovative Planning: Your Church in 4-D, written by my good friend, Bud Wrenn. Bud is the founding pastor of Integrity Community Church, the Director of the Innovative Church Community and a former corporate executive. His book reflects the wealth of experience that he has gained in all those positions. Whether you work in the sacred or the secular world, If you are a student of leadership, you’ll find this book a must read.
I consider myself a student of leadership truths and principles. And as others have said, “All truth is God’s truth,” so, I believe that the principles taught in Bud’s book are applicable in all types of organizations.
The real help I’ve received from this book is the understanding of how to “land the plane.” This book helps dreamers like myself come down from the clouds, get our bearings, lower the landing gear, and land the plane in the desired destination. For those of us who love having conversations at “35,000 feet,” this book offers us steps to bring our dreams to earth.
After all dreams are only dreams, unless we take steps to accomplish them. Bud Wrenn’s book helps us discover and take those steps.
