Book Review: Stepping Up! - Courtesy Of Struik Christian Media
In his book Stepping Up!, Johnny McGowan talks about servant leadership. Whilst he sounds inspiring, the book borders on the ' Self-Motivational ' type of writings out there. You can see his writings are similar to that of Joel Osteen as he serves in the same church. Not to take anything away from the author, there are some nuggets that are great to take heed of. He talks about his early days working with his dad in the construction business before he serves in ministry. He has observed some valuable lessons from his father. One of them being is 'attention to detail' in every aspect of his work and how he takes that into ministry. He also speaks of walking alongside Joel Osteen and opens up on how we should serve others. And in so doing we render our lives as examples for others to follow. And there are many illustrations he uses from his own life in serving others and in the church. I think I'm being biased here but I would personally prefer something
