Book Overview
The drive to excel. The need to achieve. The desire to compete. These are concerns that face every pastor, but rarely are these issues discussed openly.

A Good Examination of Ambition
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Bishop Schnase's book give good insight into the positive aspects of ambition and drive into ministry. It is also a window into his world view and his view of ambition in the United Methodist Church. If Bishop Schnase were my bishop, I'd read this book and ponder it deeply. This is a pretty easy read, not overly deep theologically and not so convoluted you couldn't read it in a few sittings. It could make a great discussion book for a clergy group overnight retreat. Recommended, particularly if you are a United Methodist.
