Reviews
This book makes a bold and audacious argument--namely that leaders who experience brokenness and failure can be full participants in God's redemptive trajectory. Using detailed biblical stories of wounded biblical leaders, and case studies of Christian ministers, Glenn Taylor uses his biblical, theological, psychological, and pastoral experience to address this important subject. It will benefit all who are called to leadership, as well as church boards, and denominational and non-profit overseers. --Dr. Rod Wilson Former President Regent College, Vancouver, B.C. Some books should be tasted; some should be savoured; a few should be devoured and digested well. Glenn Taylor's Fruitful Boughs Broken fits the final category. Writing from a lifetime of scholarly reflection and practical experience, Glenn seeks to address church and pastoral leadership concerning the terrible tragedy of failure in ministry. He urges those who encounter these situations to seek full understanding, examining the specific contributing factors in the person's journey that led toward failure, and then to help that person embrace a wholistic approach toward recovery in all relationships. Glenn includes several tools he has used to assist in this process which all leaders will find helpful. I highly recommend this book for both preventative and redemptive purposes in one's life and ministry. --Marvin Brubacher Executive Director, MentorLink, Canada.
