I just recently completed a book that I want to share with you. The title? "Church Unique"

It's written by Will Mancini who also formed a company called Auxano. They help churches and ministries discover and live out their unique place in God's Kingdom work. This book, along with Andy Stanley's, "Visioneering," need to be on every ministry leader's shelf! And not only on the shelf, but lived out in their ministry. One of Will Mancini's partners, Jim Randall will be joining us at Christ Memorial on April 29th and 30th. Jim will continue to navigate us through the process outlined in "Church Unique."

Here's a couple of quotes that made an emotional connection with me:

"Vision is still the most talked about and least understood term in the leadership lexicon." pg. 167

"A vision should never be designed to be read." pg. 170

"Vision that does not engage the heart and touch the emotions is nothing more than flowery words on paper." pg. 171

Will Mancini defines vision as a breathtaking snapshot of God's intermediate future. Now, unpack that definition!

What do you think?
