[servolution chapter 14] never serve alone: where’s my high five?

by Christopher Neufeld I used to think I could go through life with Simon and Garfunkel’s “I Am a Rock” as my theme song.  I am a rock, I am an island. And a rock feels no pain; And an island never cries. This was how I thought I could live my life. I figured I could get by doing everything alone, relying on others as little as possible.... [Read more of this review]

[servolution chapter 13] keep your serve alive: avoiding compassion fatigue

by Karen Shumway This is AMAZING! Serving the Lord has kicked up to a new level in SERVOLUTION! How can we serve properly and wholeheartedly when we’re worn out? By grace, that’s how! If you truly have a heart to serve our Lord and Saviour you must lean on Him at times of exhaustion. Ask for His grace and mercy, He gives it freely! Is God... [Read more of this review]

[servolution chapter 11] no excuses: 165,000 easter eggs

by John Dix No Excuses! This is a great chapter!  I grow weary of men and women in ministry who constantly look at the problems instead of the servolution solutions.  Anyone can identify the problems, or excuses, as Dino refers to them in this chapter, but true servoluters are full of solutions. Everything in this chapter is worthy of conversation. ... [Read more of this review]

[servolution chapter 10] the cost of a servolution: more than money

by Michael Levitt Chapter 10 starts off with “Servolution always costs.”   Everything has a cost associated to it, whether it’s time, finances, physical or mental efforts.  This chapter reminds me of former wrestler Ted DiBiase, who’s catch phrase was “Everyone has a price.”  Mr. DiBiase  is the leader of Heart of David Ministries,... [Read more of this review]

[servolution chapter 9] staying on course: a speech, a spotlight, and a season

by Paul Batchie Dino Rizzo’s write-up of his church’s Servolution experience has become increasingly more engaging. We’ve watched as he started Healing Place Church (HPC) led by a vision to serve by simply doing “whatever, whenever”. We saw how two odd, spontaneous decisions – to accept and distribute two palates of rat... [Read more of this review]
