Description
A Healthy You
Bigger is not better. Better is better. The outside does not always show what is happening on the inside. As people, organizations and churches, we desire to be healthy. We were created “wholistically,” and we can achieve wholeness as people and as organizations.
Purpose and intentionality will take us from where we are to where we want to be. That will require embracing healthy systems. A Healthy You is for every person, church and organization. It contains a theology of systems, a primer for productivity, and a manual for our mission, message and methods.
Dan will help you navigate changes you may need to make, drawing on his breadth of experience and his connections with great leaders. This book is chock-full of wisdom, concepts and test cases born out of many years of experience and practice. Implement these principles, and you will experience health and wholeness. You were created on purpose, and God breathed His life into you so that you can breathe that life into your world.
A Healthy You is a journey into the systems, strategies and structures that will build a firm foundation for health, transformation and multiplication. This is a book for every person and every team. Walk through A Healthy You as you assess your personal and organizational health.
