Canoeing the Mountains

Christian Leadership in Uncharted Territory

De: Tod Bolsinger

Narrado por: Tom Parks

Explorers Lewis and Clark had to adapt. While they had prepared to find a waterway to the Pacific Ocean, instead they found themselves in the Rocky Mountains. You too may feel that you are leading in a cultural context you were not expecting. You may even feel that your training holds you back more often than it carries you along. Drawing from his extensive experience as a pastor and consultant, Tod Bolsinger brings decades of expertise in guiding churches and organizations through uncharted territory. He offers a combination of illuminating insights and practical tools to help you reimagine what effective leadership looks like in our rapidly changing world. If you're going to scale the mountains of ministry, you need to leave behind canoes and find new navigational tools. Listening to this book will set you on the right course to lead with confidence and courage.

Thought-provoking and timely.

My husband and I listened to this together on a road trip and enjoyed interacting with the ideas as they relate to our ministry situation.

Taking the Hill with Grandma

As a 30 year missionary and regional multi-cultural director for a global church i love the emphasis on ministry in the margins. Tod provides excellent adaptive leadership illustrations and honest gut punch stories of the trenches of mans depravity and the transforming Grace of our Savior!

Challenging and thought provoking

I loved reading this book. It is so challenging and inspiring at the same time. This is a must read for people looking to change the culture of a church or any organization.

Principles for all leaders.

My mentor gave me this book. This book has stretched my thinking. I’m a entrepreneur and now I believe that God will use each one of us no matter what our talents are.

An Adventure Awaits

Bolsinger does a great job weaving Scripture, America's pioneering spirit and practical theology. This is a great resource for a church's leadership team. It is loaded with good questions and honest reflections by author.

Excellent and informative

Lots of information on how to work change in church contexts. It includes a chapter on what to do when there is sabotage to ideas and plans. very solid and thorough book.

Yes indeed!

A great read for anyone in leadership in these crazy times! We need to always be adapting

A great book for church leaders

we are living in unprecedented times and Bolsinger lays out a transformational leadership model needed for all church leaders today.

Great paradigm

Bolsinger offers an insightful paradigm for leaders, sketching a model of adaptive leadership, illustrated by facets of the Lewis and Clark expedition. Very helpful take on adaptive leadership for folks in the Church.

Both the book and the narrator were excellent!

A good amount of the content from this book is similar to Ron Heifetz's book on Practicing Adaptive Leadership. The principles in that book are distilled in this one and directed towards the church/church leadership. The observations in the journey of Lewis and Clark provide an excellent narrative for the book. Very great read!
