A fascinating book with rare wisdom and deep transformational ideas that motivate readers to not only embrace and address real identity challenges of transition, but also to seek the strength, strategic direction, energy, and inspiration to shape and find real solutions to denominational transitional transformation. Dunn is a master historian, a political scientist, a statesman, an educator, a scholar and author of several books. This book is a spiritual journey of rediscovery that illuminates and empowers the visionary leader in every one of us. This book is essentially practical, yet, philosophical, theological, political, and religious, with real-life examples that bring complex issues like ongoing identity crisis discussions into sharp focus...I enthusiastically endorse this book and will order a copy for my library.
