Pastor A asked if I would like to read Drucker and Me<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0Being that my husband and I are in business, he thought I would like the book. Peter Drucker, known as the guru of management, was required reading in any management class of my generation. I don’t know about now, but his principles and insights still holds true today.<\/p>\n

Pastor A gave me one week to read the book. It’s a good thing he did or it would take me months as I like to read several books at one time.<\/p>\n

The book, written by Bob Buford who was mentored by Drucker, gave me insights about the mega churches that I didn’t know. Leadership Network<\/a> is a product of Drucker’s advice to Buford.<\/p>\n

While Drucker had a big influence on the growth of mega churches, I didn’t get the sense that he loved the church. I think he loved the idea of what an effective church can do for society, which is not a bad thing. He taught Buford that a well managed church is making the church to be better at what it’s meant to be, not to make it function like a business.<\/p>\n

Overall, I liked the book and learned from it. As with all books, I don’t remember much details of what I read. But then, I don’t remember what I ate for dinner last Friday, but I know it nourished and changed me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
