Having served as secretary to the board of a large Protestant church, the author had me smiling, smirking, nodding my head and laughing, as well as shaking my head at some of the politics and machinations that are part of a large and wealthy congregation, church staff and expectations. Moody provides interesting insights and intriguing anecdotes of what goes on "behind the scenes" and the humanness of those leading God's children. Many of his observations and frustrations are spot-on, while also observing and understanding of some of the drive behind individuals and situations. He doesn't preach, but he sure makes you a believer. At the same time, he encourages your empathy and compassion for those who often face difficult situations and decisions. Great book!
