In this made-for-use guidebook, Bill Hybels provides the exact steps needed for ministry leaders to translate the principles described in his book Holy Discontent into practical and effective action. What is the one aspect of this broken world that, when you see it, touch it, or get near it, you just can't stand? What reality is so troubling that it thrusts you off the couch and into action? This is what Bill Hybels refers to as a holy discontent: a personal 'firestorm of frustration' that, although sparked by that which is terribly wrong, can catalyze fierce determination to set things right. It is often during these eye-opening, heart-hungering moments of engagement when you will hear God whisper, 'I feel the exact same way about this situation. Now, let's go solve it together!' Here are the steps and the guidance you need to make that happen. This companion to Holy Discontent includes: * Interactive processing exercises that encourage you to ask the tough questions of your ministry strategy, your supporting organizational structure, and the key people with whom you collaborate * Sidebar stories of ministry leaders who are living and leading from their holy discontent in a variety of contexts * Insightful prompts to help you act on what you learn * Space for personal reflection

5.0 out of 5 stars
Invest in purchasing it. Read it. Study it. Immediately apply it to your life! Exceptional!,
By Bev "Beverly Avello" (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Living and Leading from Your Holy Discontent: A Companion Guide for Ministry Leaders (Paperback)
I heard about this book through a friend who offered me bits and pieces of its content - which immediately caught my attention.
If you are a person or in a place in your life floundering your life's true purpose, this book is for you. If you are a person in a successful career or living the good life, and feel something is seriously missing - this book is for you. If you are a person who is struggling with who you are or why your life is taking a spiral downturn, this book is for you. "Holy Discontent" will offer you an opportunity to look at who you are, why you were specifically created in the time and space you are currently living in - and poke at your heart for what your personal "Holy Discontent" is. The book is an easy read (as far as ease of reading a page goes), though is an exceptional book to help you really evaluate who you are and what your purpose it. Hybels offers real life examples and gives the book's reader an opportunity to learn from others' paths and passions - hopefully to support your journey to become all you were intended to be. If you're ready to take your life to the next level, are sick of where you are currently at, or ready to be all you were created to be - this is the book that can support your journey. Here's to your personal, Holy Discontent... Bev
