Surfing the Edge of Chaos is my latest discovery from the library. I’ve only read two chapters but so far I am really loving this book. The second chapter title is worth the price of admission – “Equilibrium is Death.” This book looks at evolution theory and applies it to organizations. Now I am aContinue reading “Surfing the Edge of Chaos – Quote”

The Radical Edge by Steve Farber — Review
This weekend I picked up Steve Farber’s The Radical Edge. I really enjoyed the simplicity of this book. I’m finding that I enjoy the Leadership Parable format a lot more than the principle driven books. Steve Farber, Pat Lencioni, Ken Blanchard are all writing in this same vane and it’s very enjoyable. As the readerContinue reading “The Radical Edge by Steve Farber — Review”
Some Quotes from “Whoever Makes the Most Mistakes Wins”.
Here are some great thoughts that I’ve picked out so far from this book. “When we look back on our lives, the parts that once seemed triumphant can pale in significance, while episodes that appeared trivial at the time now look crucial.

Something that really amazed me was the way he talks about the fear that Demons have of God and Jesus and theirContinue reading “the Screwtape Letters”
The Gospel is for Right Now
Jesus died for more than just to get us into heaven. He died so that we could live for him entirely. I’ve been reading Dallas Willard’s, the Divine Conspiracy. I’ve been taking my time because it’s really, really deep and challenging. But I read a section today that I just had to share. Willard isContinue reading “The Gospel is for Right Now”
