Description

Faith-based organizations are sometimes known for what we're against--and all too often that includes being against each other. But amid growing distrust of religious institutions, Christ-centered nonprofits have a unique opportunity to link arms and collectively pursue a calling higher than any one organization's agenda.

Rooting for Rivals reveals how your ministry can multiply its impact by cooperating, rather than competing. Peter Greer and Chris Horst explore case studies illustrating the power of collaborative ministry. They also vulnerably share their own failures and successes in pursuing a kingdom mind-set. Discover the power of openhanded leadership to make a greater impact on the world.

"I love the African quote, 'If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.' I'm grateful to Peter Greer and Chris Horst for celebrating Christ-centered teamwork and collaboration in Rooting for Rivals."--RICHARD STEARNS, president of World Vision U.S. and author of The Hole in Our Gospel

My Recommendation

Let me begin with this: I love this concept! In a world where we are more concerned with who has more people in their seats and less with the mentality of kingdom work, this book gives new perspective to celebrating with those who may appear to be competition.

Authors Peter Greer, and Chris Horst (with Jill Heisey) do an incredible job highlighting the importance of standing with other ministries and churches to approach the work God has entrusted us with, and to do so in support and celebration of them.

In the write up on this book you will read: “Rooting for Rivals reveals how your ministry can multiply its impact by cooperating, rather than competing.” Now in a marketplace where often you read a quote and yet never seem to find the reality of it within, this was easy to locate and for me personally was a great joy to finally find a book that delivers such great truth.

The authors are well researched, and in return do a great job sharing with the readers the power of cooperation and how it has worked for other organizations and ministries. There is great honesty within and the biblical truth shared is of great importance.

If you are in leadership I recommend you pick this book up. Rooting for Rivals was an enjoyable read and I will revisit it again in the future.

*I received this book free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.  These are my personal thoughts.
