"An alternative title for this book could have been Billion-Dollar Wisdom because that's what's inside. It's one thing to run a business for a year or two. It's an entirely different thing to lead a multibillion-dollar business for decades. Whether you've got a small team like me or a big dream of what could be, you'll always feel like you've underpaid for the amount of knowledge that's packed inside this book."--__Jon Acuff__, New York Times bestselling author of Soundtracks  
  
"In my many years as a female CEO in the male-dominated trucking industry, I can testify that David Green's latest book, Leadership Not by the Book, is a refuge for those wanting to be led by God's Word and Holy Spirit and NOT by the ways of the world. I highly recommend this read for all leaders and aspiring leaders."--__Marcia Taylor__, founder and CEO of Bennett Family of Companies  
  
"Leadership Not by the Book is a must-read for those desiring to live by God's Kingdom agenda with their business, their ministry, and their leadership."--__Dr. Tony Evans__, president of The Urban Alternative, senior pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship  
  
"Like David Green, I've learned in leading my own organization, Turning Point, that if you follow conventional wisdom, you'll land in conventional places. But if your leadership is by the Book and you are careful to obey, then you'll be amazed by the places God will take you. I highly recommend this read."--__Dr. David Jeremiah__, senior pastor of Shadow Mountain Community Church, El Cajon, CA; founder and CEO of Turning Point Ministries  
  
"In Leadership Not by the Book, David explains how leading by the Good Book, the Bible, results in some unconventional decisions and surprising methods to exceed anything produced by human efforts alone. His fresh perspective and innovative insight make this book a must-read for every leader."--__Chris Hodges__, senior pastor of Church of the Highlands, author of The Daniel Dilemma and Out of the Cave
