Organizing Life

Church Leadership & Ministry

“McClure’s Organizing Life arrives at a critical moment when both religious institutions and higher education desperately need a leadership paradigm centered on human flourishing. As someone who straddles both worlds—training future Islamic chaplains at Hartford International University while serving in campus engagement leadership at Williams College—I find this work uniquely valuable. McClure transcends the typical leadership manual by offering a deeply theological, yet practical, framework that speaks directly to the complex challenges my chaplaincy students will face in their life and service in diverse settings. At the same time, this book provides invaluable insights for navigating institutional institutional structures in higher-education student experience. Her nuanced exploration of organizational thriving, contextual constraints, and self-leadership offers a paradoxical approach to both roles. This book belongs on the essential reading list for every chaplaincy program and in the hands of every campus leader committed to creating communities where all can genuinely flourish.”
