"I received Coaching Questions in the mail yesterday! It resonates so well with where I am. I am recommending it to others."

"I'm not a professional coach... As such, I wasn't sure how the book would impact me, but I figured that it's always good to have a few new questions in one's arsenal, so I thought I would give it a try... It amazed me how immediately useful the information was. This book is fantastic in its ability to get you to think about the questions that you ask when you meet with people.

I'm talking about thinking over the types of questions you ask and how you ask them, and then, thinking about how to catch yourself in mid-sentence when asking a closed question to turn it around to be open.

I have also used, and continue to use, more creative questions when I'm discipling, which in turn leads me to better know the people I serve. I wouldn't say this about most books, but "Coaching Questions" would be a great book to get whether you are a coach, pastor, or just a plain ol' guy like me!
