    Looks like a great list! I'll have to check out some of those. I just finished a book by my former mentor that I will be recommending to every leader from now on – Amplified Leadership by Dan Reiland. It is simply the best book on developing your ministry leaders that I've ever read. Pure gold!

I'm going to plan on reading several of the books you listed here, and I look forward to reading your thoughts on them.
