5.0 out of 5 stars BUY THIS BOOK!, February 1, 2006
This review is from: The Creative Leader: Unleashing the Power of Your Creative Potential (Hardcover)
I have to admit, I bought The Creative Leader Wednesday, and now, Friday evening I am already finished. I could not put it down. It is filled to the brim and overflowing with Ed's amazing insight into the world of creative communication! Anyone, staff members, lay members, students, I repeat anyone who wants to serve God in the most cutting-edge and creative ways needs to read this book. I can't stress enough how much I have learned in the past few days, and I can not wait to begin applying the principles and suggestions Ed outlines to begin reaching people creatively and compassionately. I read it, and now I am going back through reading again, studying and taking notes. BUY THIS BOOK! It will change the way you do church. In Him, Michael Davila

5.0 out of 5 stars Real Answers from a Dynamic Leader, January 13, 2006
By 
Ted M (Ottawa, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Creative Leader: Unleashing the Power of Your Creative Potential (Hardcover)
Ed has written a great book for pastors, church planters, and those with a stake in the local church.

He doesn't sugarcoat his leadership journey that began as a small church plant to one of the largest churches in America. One of my favorite chapters is "3 Things They Didn't Teach Me in Seminary."

Ed's unique leadership style and creative bent makes this book a must read. He gives a real insight into his church with help such as: how to improve your creativity, how to hire and fire staff members, etc. This book is unlike other leadership books that are mainly philosophical in nature.

I believe this book will give you real answers and fresh ideas to better lead in your own context.

Get it!

5.0 out of 5 stars powerful book, February 5, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Creative Leader: Unleashing the Power of Your Creative Potential (Hardcover)
I have read many leadership books in my pastoral career, but this has been one of the most thought provoking and eye opening and challenging books I have ever read. Pastor Young gives his reader a look inside the highly successful fellowship church vision and operations as well as their journey, Many Mega church Pastor have arrogance and talk down to smaller church pastors, but Pastor Young shows genuine concern for the pastors on the frontline in inner-city churches. This book will open up your creativity to design your church to be unique in your area and not a cookie-cutter of all the rest of the churches in your area, In this Mega church age, this is a must have for smaller church to use to re-invent themselves to draw new people into their churches by being creative in planning and worship. this book a must have for this season and all seasons.
