- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I purchased this book after hearing the author speak at the Memorial Day Service at the Crystal Cathedral. I highly recommed this book and the the viewing of that broadcast. This is must have for church or school libraries. Very inspirational. Contains much wisdom for anyone wanted to be informed on leadership.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A very inspirational book. I wish I could have Dr Black as my personal mentora
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The book tells how God helped this man of the cloth who grew up poor to live a life that many people would have never imagined. He shares many principles from his own life based on the Scriptures, people who have taught him many valuable lessons, books he has read and from life itself. Barry Black also writes about being vulnerable in order to connect with others. A book worthy of your time. It’s pages will inspire you!
