Pastor and popular church culture blogger Tony Morgan once worked
as a city manager, a CEO-type job with the suit and tie, corner office,
the works. Despite his top-rank status, Tony’s list of responsibilities still
included killing cockroaches whenever a freaked out coworker spotted
one in the building. That’s where this unconventional, unforgettable
book on church leadership begins.
Morgan’s point is that great leaders don’t have to do everything. The
key is to play from your strengths while building a team that manages
around your weaknesses.
Written in a relaxed style similar to marketing guru Seth Godin,
Killing Cockroaches’ 142 offbeat, on-target entries will delight and
energize church leaders. Chapter titles include “10 Easy Ways to Make
Your Church Services More Boring” (creative services), “Action Speaks
Louder than Advertising” (meeting people’s physical needs), and “The
Power of Simple” (eliminating noise).
