Well, I think we do, each book can have its place providing it does something different or it is better than a book that is already on the market. Let me introduce you to two books on christian leadership and I’ll point out why each of them deserves their place.

Stories are a powerful way to share the gospel, but also, as this book does, to help you understand the gospel better.
