Joshua Reich posted a really good review of Zero to Sixty on his blog, "Missional Thoughts".  Here's the review:  "Just finished Bob Franquiz’s book Zero to Sixty. Bottom line, every church leader, pastor or elder needs to read this book. It was so practical and helpful. It is one of those books with a nugget on every page. This book really tracks well with the coaching network I am in withNelson Searcy (as Bob went through the same network).

Just finished reading, "Just do Something" by Kevin DeYoung. I really enjoyed it. It was a fresh look at the subject of the will of God. There's so much confusion on the subject of God's will, that is was great to read a book that focuses on Biblical exposition rather than feelings or fleeces to determine God's will.  It's a short book, but it packs a punch. I think you'll enjoy it.  

I just got this emailed to me from my publisher – the Kindle version of my new book, Zero to Sixty: 60 principles and practices for leading a growing church.  I skimmed through the Kindle version of the book yesterday and I'm really happy with the job they did.   I've gotten a lot of requests for this, so it should be up really soon on amazon.com.  You can get my other books on amazon.com here:  Elements: Starting a Revolution in your World Watermark: An Explanation of Baptism (which is only $4.99 on the Kindle)

I heard about Michael Frenzese's story and was intrigued, so I picked up a copy of his newest book, "I'll Make You an offer you can't refuse" and I really enjoyed it.   Michael takes some of the best practices that he learned from being in the mob (that's a weird sentence) and applies them to how to be more effective in business.   I actually really liked this book.  It's a very fun read (If you're a fan of the Godfather films or Goodfellas, you'll love the book) and it does have some insight that you'll find helpful.   … Read More
