Don’t Miss Perry Noble’s Latest: The Most Excellent Way to Lead
I spent some time this week with The Most Excellent Way to Lead, a new book from Perry Noble. Noble is the senior and founding pastor of NewSpring Church in South Carolina. The church averages 35,000 people during weekend services at multiple campuses throughout the state. If you’re not familiar with Perry Noble, in addition to being a pastor, he is one of the most engaging speakers I’ve ever heard and an author of books like Overwhelmed and Unleash (Overwhelmed was developed into a very powerful DVD-driven study).
If you didn’t catch it from the title, The Most Excellent Way to Lead is based on 1 Corinthians 13. Often referred to as “the love chapter,” Noble points out in the introduction that while these verses are commonly used in wedding ceremonies or as advice for newlyweds, chapter 13 is “primarily a chapter on how to lead, not how to have a great marriage.”
The Most Excellent Way to Lead: Discover the Heart of Great Leadership is a very good read. If you’ve ever heard Perry speak, you’ll easily recognize his voice right away in the book. Definitely a speaker that grabs attention and holds onto it, his writing has a very similar quality. Packed with stories that you can just hear him telling, it is a page-turner and an easy read.
In addition to being an easy read, The Most Excellent Way to Lead is also very practical and would be a great book to read with a team. Ever chapter concludes with two sets of questions (one to ask yourself and another to ask your team). I can definitely see this book being used by many to disciple and develop leaders and coaches.
If you want to become a better leader or to grow in your leadership capability, you’ll want to devour The Most Excellent Way to Lead. Perry Noble is a leader God is using in an amazing way and this book offers many great insights into the process God used to make a great leader. Don’t miss this one! I loved it and I think you will too.
