Don't Blow Up Your Ministry

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Michael MacKenzie knows what brokenness and wholeness in the lives of leaders look like. For years he has dealt with both in their various forms (moral, spiritual, emotional, relational) at the Marble Retreat in Colorado, where leaders come when life is in the process of (as he puts it) blowing up. MacKenzie's book (his first) is a must-read for any man, woman, or married couple in leadership who seek to chart a new path in the direction of lifelong resilience and effectiveness.”

The Sacred Slow

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“In The Sacred Slow, Alicia uses her stirring story to help us dare to look at our own. Her candor and truthfulness about her life’s highs and lows have taken her to levels of depth and growth that few of us know even exists. As she sensitively bears her soul, we are caught up in making the whole of our lives a loving dialog with Jesus. She cuts and cures. As I read, I felt she was reading me—and in my faith journey with me. Alicia has accepted that pain is often a gift, so her story is transformational, without bringing attention to herself. I wouldn’t have missed dwelling in this book!”
