Pastor Sunday Adelaja, Pastor, Embassy of God, Ukraine
In my book “Church Shift” I talk about the church impacting every aspect of society. This type of radical transformation only occurs intentionally and not by accident. Dr. Brawley & Dr. Chand do a masterful job of showing leaders how to intentionally use change for personal and organizational transformation. I highly recommend every pastor and those who lead beside them read it!

Leadership is hard work in stable times. It is certainly more challenging in uncertain times. You can’t control the changes around you but you can position your congregation to benefit from them. I highly recommend Weathering the Storm: Leading in Uncertain Times to any church leader that wants to be effective despite uncertainty.

Our country is experiencing a deficit beyond our struggling economy. Our greatest deficit is a lack of God-honoring leadership. Once that is filled, our other challenges will follow-suite. In Weathering the Storm: Leading in Uncertain Times, Dr. Brawley and Dr. Chand offer insightful strategies for pastors and Christian leaders poised to fill that vacuity in the days ahead.
In our book, REchurch, Dr. Chand and I discuss the need for retooling the church. Often during my days at Ford Motors, we would shut the company down before introducing a new model. We did this because often the new model required new equipment. Similarly, we must consider new models for effective 21st Century ministry. This is what Dr. Brawley and Dr. Chand challenge us to do in Weathering the Storm: Leading in Uncertain Times. If you are tired of the Church keeping the Kingdom on lockdown this book is for you. Take time. Shutdown; read, and share this book with all the leaders around you. Apostle Anselm Madubuko, The Revival Assembly, Lagos, Nigeria We are living in an age of dynamic change where few things are certain. I talk about this in my book, The Principles and Benefits of Change. How we interpret and respond to change greatly determines the quality of life we experience. It also influences whether or not we accomplish our divine assignment. Dr. Brawley and Dr. Chand successfully empower leaders to fulfill their assignment by initiating the changes necessary to weather uncertain times.
Bishop Eddie L. Long, New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, Lithonia, GA
As I travel the world, I see one thing leaders have in common; uncertainty. Whether I’m in Africa, America, or Europe I observe leaders searching for direction and answers. Search no longer. This book has the answers you’ve been looking for!

Bishop John Wade II, D.P.M. Sr. Pastor, The Pentecostal Worship Center/CEO Leadership for Life, Panama City, FL
Living on the Gulf of Mexico, I know about storms. During our last hurricane, we survived because we planned for the storm by preparing a “storm kit” filled with fresh water, candles, first aid and food. Dr. Brawley’s book is a storm kit that will help you survive the dehydration, darkness, injuries and famine that your storms will bring. Prepare Now!
Rev. Woodrow Walker, II Pastor, Abundant Life Church, Lithonia, GA
There is an old adage that has historically been used in project planning or preparing for life and death situations. One version of it says, “Prior planning and preparation prevents poor performance”. If you want to circumvent poor performance or even an organizational disaster, this is your book!
