I’m only three chapters in to Organic Leadership: Leading Naturally Right Where You Are, by Neil Cole, but so far, so good… as with the other things I’ve read by him.

Neil Cole is very adept as stripping away the institutional trappings that hinder churches, and see the vibrant power of organic churches – and leaders.

The book centers on growing leaders that multiply naturally in a healthy church setting, a topic that resonates with me.  I love Cole because he’s not afraid of pulling any punches as he goes to work on faulty leadership ideas, yet he truly loves the church!  This guys not off on a bitter rant; he simply wants to see God’s church alive.

I have a feeling we’re going to need quite a few more copies of this floating around the Fountain.  For now, I’m off to do a couple more chapters over a quick taco and iced tea before I head home.
