		<title>To Give or Not to Give?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To Give or Not to Give?  This book had wonderful reviews.  &#8220;Must read!&#8221; &#8211; written by many popular authors.  I would review this book, but in fact it was such complete rubbish that I am hesitant to even summarize it.  I would be too tempted (irresistibly so) to add my own [...]]]></description>

		<title>Posting Delay</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have not put a summary up in almost 2 months.  That does not mean I am not reading&#8230;I have read 2-3 books in the meantime, but none of them lent themselves to summarizing.  They were all about the history of International Development and the need for (or lack there of) such organizations. [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Three Signs of a Miserable Job</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Good story&#8230;perhaps one of Lencioni&#8217;s best.  It&#8217;s down to earth and more realistic for those of us who are NOT working in Fortune 500 companies.  The suggestions he has are simple, and easy to implement.  They are tied more to human nature and basic needs than they are lofty and strategic business ideas.  Enjoy the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Silos, Politics, and Turf Wars</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Good book.  Not as captivating or as well written as many of the other books by Lencioni, but still worth a look.  The concept is the same as presented in his Frantic Family book, but it is applied here to businesses.  This book was written first, and then the book applying it to family was [...]]]></description>

		<title>The 3 BIG Questions for the Frantic Family</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This book was not Lencioni&#8217;s best, but it was a good application of the many business principles into a family situation.  I think the tool provided at the end, which you can find saved in the supplemental, PDF document below, can be very helpful in finding clarity for our families.  I wished he would have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Missionary Methods: St. Paul&#8217;s or Ours</title>
		<description><![CDATA[All I can say about this book is &#8220;WOW!&#8221;  Classic does not begin to describe the contents of this book and how he nails the issues on the head.  Contemporary does not begin to describe how in touch he seems to be with the current struggles within missions&#8230;and he wrote this in 1912.  He admits [...]]]></description>

		<title>Death By Meeting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Great book.  Very clear, and fairly concise.  I have condensed the summary down to about 6 pages, but I reproduced a diagram from the book, and added another table of my own in at the end that shows a comparison of time spent in meetings if we do it Lencioni&#8217;s way, and the typical way [...]]]></description>

		<title>The ASK</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;The ASK&#8221; is a long read.  A little too long.  The summary is long as well, because there is a lot of good detail in the book, but also alot of fluff.  Each chapter has Exhibits which summarize some main points.  Then the author goes into too much detail of each one, sometimes not providing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Submissions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As much as I wish I could read a book a day and post each summary, it doesn&#8217;t quite work like that.  I do have reading time worked into my work schedule because it is an important part of what I do&#8230;but some days it slips through the cracks.  At any rate, if [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Fundraising Habits of Supremely Successful Boards</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This short book by Panas is another good one.  It&#8217;s hard to go wrong with Jerry Panas.  His excitment, enthusiasm, and experience are all helpful.  There is overlap from book to book of his, but each one is helpful in it&#8217;s own way.  This time I decided to break the summary [...]]]></description>
