Riassunto

From time to time certain words or ways of thinking gain real traction and become ‘buzz words’ that are used all over the place; sometimes in context, sometimes out of context.  One such word that this has happened to in recent times is ‘culture’.

It has happened for very good reasons; churches and businesses have found that culture is far more important than strategy, ability or perhaps even anointing in seeing things come to fruition in a sustainable way.  Culture creates an environment in which things grow, both the bad and the good.  So understanding the cultures we need and the specifics of how to create these cultures is very important.

Many leaders in church and business realise ‘culture’ is important, but perhaps due to the intangible nature of ‘culture’, don’t fully know why or what to do about it.

This book is designed to be a tool to help leaders get to grips with culture in a practical way.  The first chapter, by Paul Manwaring looks at what culture is and why it is so important before the rest of the book further breaks down some of the constituent parts of culture and gives practical ideas for leading yourself and others to new cultures that bring life.

This book specifically explores creating a culture that frees people to live life in all of its fullness. However there maybe other elements of Kingdom culture that you want to develop and embed in your church or business.  Our hope is the principles described in this book help you to implement the cultural change that is needed.  Our hope is to turn an intangible word into something practical and action based that will help us all lead our churches, business and families into a revival that will overflow into a cultural reformation of society.

Recensione

"I appreciate authors that take the time and energy to create a conversation around a certain topic or theme. In this book Creating a Culture of Overflow you will be invited into a conversation around leadership and culture. If you're a leader or person that desires to create a culture where people can thrive, this book will help you to move forward in this area. Enjoy!" Eric Johnson, Senior Pastor at Bethel Church, Redding, California, and author of Christ in You David Elverson brings a refreshingly different perspective to leadership and disciple making. His career in the marketplace and his leadership within the church have come together for strategic insight into how we can better equip and release world changer's that carry the culture of the Kingdom. A must read for church, marketplace, and ministry leaders! Jamie Dickson - Pastor of Kingdom Life Church Maine, NE USA Regional Director for the Burn 24/7 "In reading this book, I came to realise that David Elverson is modelling prophecy in business. It is prophetic because I believe it is demonstrating a new kind of Christian writing about business. It breaks down the old silos of thinking and behaving. The traditional strict separation of the spiritual from business needs to be seen for what it is: a strategy of the enemy that has done untold harm. We don't need to bring "God" into business; He is already there, and is more passionate about it as an expression of His Kingdom than we are. Further, the book itself is wonderful sense-making synthesis of discipleship and practical leadership. I found it a gold mine of mature thinking, with much I can use personally in better leading a business Christ's way." Patrick Mayfield, CEO of PearceMayfield, and author of Practical People Engagement: Leading Change through the Power of Relationships. I've known Dave as a youth, a student, a husband, a businessman, a father, a leader and ultimately in all of that, as a follower of Jesus. Creating a Culture of Overflow is a very practical book and I find it refreshing in its reflection of scripture. Having worked in business, and with people this book is written in such a way that it is a can-do book. It embraces whatever style of leader you are and within it you will find something to make you a better, bigger person - it's all about reaching the potential within us and finding the flourishing in the circumstances within which we find ourselves. Roy Crowne, Executive Director HOPE Congratulations to David for creating a wide-ranging exploration of what fullness is and how leaders can create cultures that can move themselves, their families, businesses, churches and wider communities through engagement to fullness and revival. Jesus is at the centre and is the inspiration of this book which provides practical ideas and tools based on David's personal life and experience as well as extensive research and insight. The book is a valuable resource which gives us tools to evaluate where we are and steps we can take to make ourselves and those we lead and influence, thrive. Keith Williams former Senior Vice President of AT Kearney and Senior Consultant at Coopers & Lybrand
