Even snuggies love Killing Cockroaches

Thursday, March 19, 2009
Ok, I admit: It's not an actual snuggie. It's really a bathrobe turned backwards. It's my wanna be snuggie.

Anyway, I just finished Killing Cockroaches by Tony Morgan. Two words: Loved it. 

Now for 162 words: 

Pastor and Chief Strategic Officer of NewSpring Church, Tony Morgan, offers up a solutions for leadership burnout, tips for churches stuck in the 80s, and a way to fix a rental car with duct tape in his new book Killing Cockroaches.

Much like Seth Godin's Tribes, it is written in short blog entry-like bursts instead of chapters. In a "less is more" culture, this fits right into any reader's schedule. The only time that I have to read during my busy day is at lunch. I can pick it up, read a few pages, and have plenty to think about in that short time. Some of the topics are left opened ended in order to give the reader a chance to apply his or her own leadership style to the advice given. And when you start to apply what you've learned, Tony's book gains priceless value.

When I read the title and description of Killing Cockroaches, I knew this book had legs. It does. Six to be exact.
