18 of My Favorite Quotes from Timeless by Brian Dodd

Just recently, popular leadership blogger and all around great guy, Brian Dodd released his second book entitled Timeless. It’s a small book with a big leadership punch and I believe it’s a great book for pastors to grab and dive into. It’s also a good option to work through with your staff or with your ministry leaders (or both).

A bonus in this book for preachers is the fact that Brian uses a TON of illustrations. When you get his book (hardback | Kindle), grab your Evernote account and increase your sermon illustration file.

To give you a taste of what you can expect from it, here are 18 of my favorite quotes from Timeless by Brian Dodd.
