Hicks Chris gave 5 stars to The Worship Pastor: A Call to Ministry for Worship Leaders and Teams (Paperback) by Zac M. Hicks
Highly recommend for anyone in music (worship) ministry or other church leadership. This was thoughtful, devotional, discerning, charitable, and insightful. This gave me such a robust vision and heart for the role of worship leading in the church. So good! ]]> Review5567716357 Sat, 10 May 2025 15:14:28 -0700 <![CDATA[Chris added 'The Deepest Place: Suffering and the Formation of Hope']]> /review/show/5567716357 The Deepest Place by Curt Thompson Chris gave 3 stars to The Deepest Place: Suffering and the Formation of Hope (Kindle Edition) by Curt Thompson
I so appreciate the work of Dr. Curt Thompson and both myself and others have been helped greatly by his work as a psychiatrist who understands neuroscience and loves Jesus.

This book, however, felt less helpful. Partially because it’s somewhat hard to implement the concepts apart from the context of the confessional communities he runs. Then partially just due to his writing style of long, run-on sentences. Provided great material for conversations in both of my books clubs, but more as a jumping off point for them, rather than going through the actual content. ]]> Rating856151705 Sat, 10 May 2025 15:11:20 -0700 <![CDATA[Chris Gisler liked a review]]> /
Chris Gisler liked Erik Bonkovsky's review of The Deepest Place: Suffering and the Formation of Hope:
The Deepest Place by Curt Thompson
"The books get shorter and shorter. And it all starts to feel like it’s driven by publishers or by a money grab (both?). He has less content. It’s still good and some great insights, but maybe more a chapter than a book."
