ENDORSEMENTS
“Jim Molloy has written a practical and insightful book that addresses a very important challenge for all those in leadership positions… the problem of an insecurity. Recently a leading Christian leader said to me that he believed ‘insecurity is the number one under-miner of Christian leaders and their ministries’. May the Lord use Jim’s transparent book about his own journey and his studies, to remind many that our worth and acceptance is found first and foremost in the One who loves us and gave Himself for us, not in our performance or position.” Dr. Stephen Elliott, Director of Pastoral Ministries & Church Planting, Bethany Bible College
“Everyone knows the feelings of discomfort that accompany insecurity. Sometimes they are twinges of worry, almost imperceptible but still disconcerting. At other times, they are screams of terror inside reacting to the intense threat of a situation. Wherever those feelings land on the spectrum, they undermine a person’s ability to lead effectively. Insecurity is natural and it is universal. The problem comes when individuals do not recognize it and its effects on their lives. This book is a mirror that lets us see our issues, and a medicine to help heal the wounds that make us vulnerable to insecurity’s power. Jim C. Molloy has provided the leadership world with a very practical and insightful tool that will help elevate a leader’s ability and enrich their relationships. This book is tangible encouragement to those who want to rid their lives of the de-stabilizing influence of insecurity.” Rev. George Werner, Mission Canada Director, Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada
“Jim , I want you to know how much I liked reading your book. I went through it on a flight home from Vancouver. It is well written – consistent in tone and a wonderful flow. Your voice is bright and new in a way that is not self-conscious and your practical insights will give permission for leaders to pursue their own insecurities. This is going to be a great tool for leaders especially pastors and you are hitting a significant topic in a very effective manner.”
“Insecurity breeds misleadership, and the effects are rampant. As a pastor, and leader of leaders, Jim Molloy speaks to the subject directly with a voice that is bright and new. He has created a book I would love to see all leaders and mentors consume for the sake of the Kingdom.” – Dr. Carson Pue, President of Arrow Leadership and best selling author of Mentoring Leaders.
“I have a few authors that whatever they write, I buy. Philip Yancey is one. But he is now getting old…he’s my age, I should know. I bought his latest book, and again, it’s good. But the day of us older guys is fading into sunset. Don’t laugh and don’t say, well, it’s about time. Time is attacking you at the same rate: one second at a time. But you sound like a Yancey for the next generation.”
“It is a great pleasure to find something very different and altogether original… You make some very interesting arguments in a very readable form…”
“Great book. I really enjoyed chapter’s 7 & 8. I look forward to a careful and thorough read when I get a hard copy. Thanks for authentic and deep work on this important topic.”
“This was pretty educational, one of those rare books you actually learn something from.”
“Insecurity: Learning to Lead From Acceptance Not For Acceptance has the style of a planned presentation, co-ordinated and structured, without the constricted nature of a lecture. It is logical with its rationale emphasised by anecdotes that actually do support and illustrate each point being made. It is motivational in the truest sense and its prose is straightforward and clear. This work is the next best thing to actually being in the room with the author.”
“ Through this timely book Jim presents a very relevant, practical and scripturally grounded approach to the haunting issue of insecurity.”
“I believe this book presents sound, tried and attainable ways and means of taking the ‘In’ out of Insecurity and allowing “Security” to define every person that will choose to “live out of security rather than for security.” I highly recommend it to you and trust you feel secure in my endorsement. Enjoy the ride as you take the “in” out of insecurity.” Rev. Doug Moore, District Superintendent, Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada
“Your work is well written and I do agree with the points which you make. Insecurity affects everyone in their daily lifes and your messages are most appropriate. Your first person narrative voice is perfect for this genre.”
