still need to finish the book December 17, 2008 Bevere books are good and informative for spiritual growth. If your maturity in the Lord is not where it needs to be understading his books may be difficult. Especially if you struggle submitting to the Lord.
good teaching book December 16, 2008 This book is a good teaching book for someone who wants to know truths about reality.
A Must Read November 17, 2008 An excellent book. I recommend all new believers read this book. It should be a part of every youth ministry curriculum. Thanks John for writing this book. MIC
Honor - in today's culture? November 16, 2008 Clearly understanding the truth and reality of 'honor' is empowering and unfortunately missing in our culture of today. Insights in this book can change one's perspective in a way that will transform and renew relationships to everyone - from God to those we are responsible for.
Under Cover Part Two October 22, 2008 3 out of 5 found this review helpful
Even if Bevere is sincere and the book has some good points, this is not a biblical sound book.
John Bevere has a very positional view of leadership, while Jesus and Paul always speaks about functional leadership. He uses many stories to back up his message, but not so much scripture.
Bevere is indirectly encouraging leaders to become priests for the people. This book feeds the old clergy-myth which is very strong in the traditional church and has its origin in catholic theology and tradition.
It is an interesting fact that the King James Version of the Bible has some mistranslations that feeds this kind of teaching because it was translated in an age that had much of this this kind of positional thinking. I recommend you to read Reimagining Church by Frank Viola (which has a functional view of leadership) and compare to this book.
