An Unhurried Leader

Christian Living

“Alan Fadling has done it again! He writes in a way that challenges me to rethink my leadership. I love him and hate him at the same time for reminding me to love from an overflow and abundance rather than leading on empty. He doesn't just describe the problem, instead in An Unhurried Leader he gently and graciously guides the reader toward change that is doable and a reflection of the genius of Jesus' unhurried way of living and leading. Another must read!”

An Unhurried Life

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Every once in a while there is a book that I can honestly say, 'That book changed my life!' An Unhurried Life has been added to my very short list. Alan Fadling has helped me see in a practical, convicting, and motivating manner that there is a depth waiting for me when I slow down and walk with Jesus. I knew it all along . . . but Alan has helped me long for it. In an overcommitted and underconnected culture, people need this message. I did!”

Faith Beyond Youth Group

Church Leadership & Ministry

Hurt 2.0

Church Leadership & Ministry

“The youth of our culture have been deeply wounded by our collective neglect and adult-driven self-focus. Young people need adults to understand what they are going through and people to care about them without a personal agenda. This book was very helpful to me, and my attitude toward teens will never be the same.”

I'm so thankful we have this great resource.”

“Crisis will come in one form or another—guaranteed. Either your child or a teenager associated with your child will be in crisis during their adolescent years. I’m thrilled that Jim and Rich have taken the time to help parents figure out ways to prepare for crisis, cope with crisis, and recover from crisis. And this is an excellent resource not only for parents, but for anyone who loves teenagers and desires to help them process the circumstances of life with a godly perspective.”
