Before reading Outliers, I would have said, "Malcolm Gladwell is a literary genius." Now I have to take it down a notch and acknowledge that Gladwell is a hard-working and somewhat lucky person who took full advantage of the opportunities afforded him by his upbringing and environment. Between The Tipping Point, Blink and Outliers, Gladwell has created a trilogy of stimulating and thought-provoking works that shine light on otherwise unexplored ways our world develops its people.
Outliers is a nine chapter piece that builds a case for how "Outliers" (people who seem to live outside everyday experience) truly develop. Common wisdom says geniuses are born that way. Gladwell… Read more

As a pastor, I love hearing stories about what God is doing through local churches. Michael Catt's report of what God is doing through Sherwood Baptist Church is inspiring. - This is a church that is thinking creatively, acting courageously, breaking down racial barriers, creating disciples, and doing a ton of good in their community. - They built their city a sports park with the money earned from "Facing the Giants." Pastors always need fresh ideas. Reading the story of this church has been very encouraging to me. I recommend it to all church leaders.

BUT, some training tips from those who've studied it always helps. So I like books on prayer that are very practical and/or inspiration. All the books on this list&hellip Read more
