11 indispensable relationships you can't be without - Leonard Sweet

11 indispensable relationships you can't be without - Leonard Sweet

I am almost done with this book and I find myself thumbing toward the beginning instead of end. A friend and leadership mentor handed it to me and said, "I think you would like this." It has been a great read. I am caught up by the cast of characters he describes. Some of them are Jethro, Jonathon, Deborah, Timothy, but one that I found most fascinating is Rhoda. Where Sweet poses the question, Who is your little one? It is insightful and engaging. I will leave you with this thought and a question Leonard Sweet poses in his book. Who are you taking with you on your journey toward your destination? Each chapter ends with an interactive section. It could be used in any small group or Sunday school class.

One of favorite quotes in the book is "if you can't get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance." - George Benard Shaw
