Shrinking the Integrity Gap

Church Leadership & Ministry

“The authors’ willingness to grittily name those ‘foes’ of the self—arrogance, narcissism, hiding, blind spots, escapism, and others—and then accurately describe the danger these foes pose to both leaders and the led, and finally to teach the reader how to defeat each one, is what makes this book so helpful and timely.”

The Story of God, the Story of Us

“It is only the person who is long in the study of the Scriptures, and in the contemplation of God through them, who may be granted the capacity in the Spirit to experience the Scriptures freshly, with more of the Light shining in the words and the spaces between them. And if that person is Sean Gladding, then he might write in such a way that a reader is startled at how much he or she missed when studying the same biblical passages. In the classic spiritual tradition of the 'application of the senses' way of reading the Scriptures, Gladding shows us how freshly to see, to hear, to taste and to touch each biblical scene.”
