Good to Great

I read through this book with fellow interns at my church. Although it is a secular book, it is great to see how relevant the concepts in Collins' book are to someone working in a church environment (and more specifically within a particular ministry within the church) as well as to my own personal spiritual life. It was hard to get through some of the more intensely business-oriented sections or when he began going into stocks and the like, but overall, this book is one that everyone should really read. It is quite impressive the amount of research and time Collins and his team put into the “Good to Great” study that led to this book.

Collins summarizes main points well in the grayed boxes throughout the book as well as in a summary section of “Key Points” and “Unexpected Findings” after each chapter. Reading this made me want to think about how I can go from being good to great in the way God can lead me to being and is probably a book that I will reread in the future.
