Overview

"No better leader, no better example, no better friend" are words to describe Paul Leonard and his incredible drive to serve others. This book is a well-told story of a life well-lived, reminding those of us in the church to be church outside the church. Here Leonard gives an account of his half-century-plus involvment with church, from a student at Davidson College, to pastoring, to post-church disillusionment, revealing the source of his incredible drive to serve others. By opening his life with candid reflection and insights, he inspires others to do a better job of sharing the gifts God gave us. His description of his long, sincere, and intense search for a church to accommodate his deep faith and call to service is profoundly unsettling and would be valuable reading for every religious leader and anyone else who cares about the future of organized religion.

Author Biography

Author of Where is Church and When the Spirit Moves, Paul Leonard's professional career has spanned the two disparate worlds of nonprofit ministry and big business. With degrees from Davidson College, University of Chicago's Divinity School, and Emory University, he first served at Trinity Presbyterian Church and then founded a non-traditional church that focused on community action and service. He left the traditional ministry to work in city housing, and was later recruited by the John Crosland Company. He became the company's president in 1984. After the company was acquired by Centex Real Estate Corporation, Leonard was appointed as its Executive Vice-President, responsible for the company's southeast region. After retiring from Centex, Leonard was elected to the Board of Habitat for Humanity International; he served as Chairman of the Board from December, 2001 to December, 2003 and was employed as the Interim CEO of Habitat for Humanity from June, 2004 through October, 2005.
