A new favorite book

I have a new favorite book - "Contrarian's Guide To Knowing God" by Larry Osborne. On the books back cover it says, "Contrarian thinking at its best simply asks, Is this really true? It speaks up when the politically correct answer or conventional wisdom doesn't match reality - when things simply don't work the way everyone says it should." I was drawn to that description.

A few years ago I had read "The Contrarian's Guide to Leadership" by Simple. This is a much better book.

Some of my favorite chapters were "Jesus or John?" "The Dimmer Switch Principle" "The High Place Principle" and "The Mustard Seed Principle".

Do yourself a huge favor - put Osborne's book on your reading list. You won't agree with everything - but you will be challenged. Isn't that the mark of a great book?
