Contagious Generosity

Church Leadership & Ministry

“To my mom and dad, who lived generously and modeled unconditional love for me. To my girls, Anna and Emily — there was a time when we thought we would not be able to have kids, but God knew different, and he gave you to us. You are the manifestation of his generous grace in our lives. And most of all to Nancy, who said “I do” many years ago. You have been generous with your love for me and your forgiveness of me, and it has changed the way I live.”

The Mythical Leader

Church Leadership & Ministry

“With so many books out there on leadership, it is hard to know which ones really matter. For me, I want to read books by people who are actually leading well. Ron Edmondson has devoted himself to effective leadership in the local church and has practiced it so well himself. He is a pastor and leader respected by many. What a gift that he would take time to write a book to dispel myths that limit the leadership potential of so many people. If you are looking to take your leadership to the next level, this is the book for you!”
