Praise For Faith To Innovate
|
In every role I've played, whether as a point guard in the NBA or as Mayor of California's capital city, my goal has always been to help others pursue excellence. I have witnessed Dr. Tecoy Porter, a rising star in our city; exhibit this same passion in both his words and deeds. I highly recommend his book, Faith to Innovate, as a must read for anyone desiring to do the same.

A successful coach is one who can assess the opposition, make key adjustments and incorporate those modifications into a winning strategy for his team. This formula for achievement is exactly what Dr. Tecoy Porter so clearly defines in his insightful new book, Faith to Innovate. Drawing from personal experiences and focused research, Dr. Porter demonstrates how an effective leader uses faith as the driving force in adapting essential new strategies. I encourage all leaders to read this book thoroughly and use it as a resource as you coach your team to success.

To use an overused and yet still true adage that " the last words of a dying church are, we've never done it that way before" Sad but true in many of our churches that is the mantra as well as the mood. Over against that reality Dr. Porter dares to call the church to relevance by creative and courageous innovation. Employing not only scholarly data but biographical and transparent truth as well, Dr. Porter challenges us to more, higher and better, believing God deserves both and the times demand both. I am so glad that my friend and brother has given us this gift and challenge, I pray we receive and respond to them both.

“Change the method but keep the message" is a familiar refrain in current church circles. This book nails that with the added oomph of faith - the yeast that makes the bread rise. Faith is the key ingredient that pleases God, but how you wield it makes the difference whether it is effective or not. Dr. Porter's visionary paradigm here raises your sights to a whole new level.
