Steering Through Chaos


Recently, I have been given the opportunity to review a great book, Scott Wilson's, "Steering Through Chaos." It focuses on how churches can find direction in the midst of change.

While the book is focused toward pastors and people in leadership positions, it is also worthwhile for Christians in general. Wilson has developed a great principle that he calls "chaos". Chaos is the area where transition happens, but Wilson urges leaders that the time for change is before rather than during hard times.

Change is a scary and hard thing for most people, so Scott Wilson has devoted his book to helping leaders ease the transition for the rest of the church body. Anyone in a leadership position has much to learn about Wilson's theory of chaos.
