I admit I didn't do a lot of research about this one. The title and description sounded interesting enough to buy it. That's on me. 

Basically the author uses biblical examples and his own experience as a minister at various American church networks to give advice. The tone is chirpy and trying hard to be cute but I couldn't finish it.

This book was not quite what I was expecting, but in the best way possible. In an attitude-challenging, kick-in-the-pants kind of way. Half of the pages are covered in hi-lighter marks and quotes from each chapter have been regularly copied out onto the white board in my office. I think it was written with younger professionals (especially those in ministry, as the author is) in mind, but Scroggins' principles certainly apply across (and up) the board. For me, this is a keeper and will be a re-read.
