Jenni Catron - Clout: Discover and Unleash Your God-Given Influence

PRAISE FOR CLOUT

I never thought of myself as a leader until one day my small ministry wasnt so small any longer. Since the people I lead deserve to be led well, I knew I had to get intentional about reading great books to equip me. Clout is a wonderful resource for learning to lead from a place of security and surrender. Jenni helped me understand the necessary balance between these two principles so I can walk confidently in the clout entrusted to me and honor God in the process.

Jenni has the rare gift of combining solid, biblical, business-savvy advice while being extremely transparent and warm. She has the integrity and intelligence to back it up, and the heart to pass it along to even those who cant imagine theyll reach their potential. On a personal level, Ive had the honor of working alongside her and seeing the way she lives out every bit of what she teaches; shes steady, loyal, strong, and just flat-out likable.
