Good thinking!

I read this book several years ago while on the Children's Staff at Saddleback Church. Together our team read one book each month, usually on the topics of leadership and innovative thinking. Obviously, the ministry is phenomenal--the result of GREAT leadership and an amazing amount of creative thinking!
THIS book was always one of my favorites and I decided to re-read it this week. It's the ultimate "how to" book for creative thinking, which is basically just discovering new ways to look at old things! Your job, your church, your home, your life! "Discovery consists of looking at the same thing as everyone else and thinking something different."
Whether you are running an organization, a ministry, a household, or just living life!--there are times when we NEED to be creative and generate new ways to accomplish our objectives. Most of us strive to be more productive, resourceful and imaginative and this book is an AMAZING jump start to that goal. It will whack you with inspiration and excitement for what CAN be.
You may also want to pick up the sequel to this book: "A Kick in the Seat of the Pants"

Wow. You don't get much better than a response from the author of the book you just blogged about.

Maybe you should do a blog about George Clooney and the movies of his you love.
