Review of “Switch”
This book was not just good but great. It is about introducing change in an organization. Of course one of the most difficult organizations to change is a church, so this book is incredibly helpful for leaders in congregations. The book is easy to read, and understandable. Instead of a difficult and complex model for change, the authors broke down the steps in a clear model. You will hear about elephants, riders, and self-control. This book was read on a kindle and I marked it all up. It was so good that I even twitted from the kindle. Of all the books on change, this was the one I would read again. Even though it was not written to churches, it is applicable to churches. Even if you are not going through a process of change, the book also provides a ton of practical advice on moving people forward in Christian faith. Life is about changing, from churches going from internal to external, to Christians going from immature to mature. This is the nature process of life and this book helps one navigate this transition. I highly recommend this title. It is great.

You are correct that while it’s not written to churches, this book can be helpful to churches. As soon as I got done reading it, I gave it to my pastor. He loved it. It’s helping him and the elders deal with some changes in the church.
