“Jonathan Brenneman in his ‘I Am Persuaded’ provokes, jabs and demanding situations our sacred cows of church management. but, the jabs aren't hurtful simply because they arrive from Scripture. this isn't a reactionary e-book packed with chief bashing yet a swish and ideal presentation of often forgotten ideas bearing on how Jesus and the early church taught and practiced leadership.

All the main and from time to time debatable phrases are mentioned: rule, obey, submission, apostles, authority, and religious masking. first-class exegesis on those phrases is equipped and is foundational to the author’s conclusions. if you end up disagreeing, then, by way of all ability, do a greater exegesis. i believe that would be tough. Jonathan Brenneman has individually made a paradigm shift in his existence and stocks it with us. Will you?

'I Am Persuaded' is greater than an exceptional biblical studies, it really is packed with genuine existence tales which illustrate servant management. it really is good written, fast-paced, and provokes clean considering. i think the reader and the church can be more fit while those ideas are positioned into perform. Will you be persuaded? Will you suffer a paradigm shift? learn and discover. it is a strong booklet and its message should be heard.”
