Reviews:

This book is the heart of a pastor–who now pastors/coaches/mentors so many pastors–and who is still as passionate about the church as he was in San Antonio 30 years ago.  When I get face to face with this guy, I am still drawn to the sold out passion, the steely gaze of a man determined to live for Jesus Christ.  I think you will see that aspect of Bill in this book.   READ THE BOOK!
– Jeff Patton, author of If It Could Happen Here

Bill’s Unfreezing Moves was what I was looking for and not knowing how to ask for it.  I wish I had it three years ago when we started transformation here. It would have saved me from doing a lot of things backwards.  …

Your book is a great blueprint!

Bill, while your chapter looks so simple and straightforward, it is breath taking in its finger on the pulse so to speak. The room exploded and they couldn’t stop talking about worship. It was like the old Coke/Pepsi commercials. I just can’t say enough about the latest book.

Just a brief note to thank you. Unfreezing Moves was a life changing book for me. I continue to appreciate your ministry. – Darryl
