Pastorpreneur: Pastors and Entrepreneurs Answer the Call

Finally. A book that does justice to the entreprenurial spirit. I've always struggled wtih the fact that the church seems to lag behind the culture by 20 years. Where are the Holy Spirit entrepreneurs. John Jackson is one of them. I love his unique angle on the entreprenurial pastor. Read the book. It'll unleash the entreprenuer within!

John Jackson obviously isn't your "average" pastor. And you don't have to read far into this book to find out why the church he pastors is one of the fastest growing churches in America. He does things differently. I can only imagine that a lot of "pastoral types" won't necessarily LIKE this book, but if you're serious about bringing unchurched people into relationship with God, you WANT to read this book. And if you're a Christian in a leadership position at work, this book is for you, not just for your pastor!

This is a powerful and practical book to help push us out of our comfort zone. Among the many strengths of PastorPreneur is its focus on forming and clarifying vision and giving practical and biblical strategies to help us move forward. If you want to stay fresh and be on the cutting edge - better read John Jackson's PastorPreneur!

I really enjoyed PastorPreneur! There were two particular discussions which really stood out to me. The section on "calling" for ministry was profound. This unique and mysterious element warrants discussion, but few books deal with is with as much insight as Jackson. Secondly, his discussion on vision adds much to the dialogue about moving forward with clarity, integrating the concepts of Grasp, Grip and Gifts. Great stuff!

This book is full of great illustrations of how God uses everyday people, just like you and me, to accomplish His eternal purposes. A must read for church leaders and those who aspire to church leadership.
