The Gift of Administration
A Micro-Critique
I can't say it's popular.
Not Donald Senior’s book. This one was from the 1980s. Something like ninety-seven pages.
Longest book I ever read.
Made one salient point: the root of the word “administration” is “ministry”; it’s what we do to facilitate ministry.
Coulda—nay, shoulda—just said that.

Tick Tock For Tiktok
Tiktok has been everywhere. Videos made on the app are shared on Instagram, X, Facebook, and YouTube. The short video app has been in the news for promoting dangerous activities, as well as for privacy concerns. Recently, there's talk of banning Tiktok in the United States if ByteDance doesn't sell it.

brilliant work!
Never read the book but then again I’ve never been a minister. Enjoyed it Randy
Omgggg, I too have so many of those kinda 'longest book I've ever read'. Lol. Loved your review!
Dear Pastor Randy ~ I 'Coulda' done without all of these 'Critiques' ~ but I'm just renting space here. - You're always fun - JiB
Fantastic!!! Left some love!!!
Haha, I love how you wrote this. So much said, so much derision. Was it just bland or was he wrong, or did you just not like the author?
Longest, as in painful ? Was the book in a dentists office and you extracted that one nugget ? 😎
97 pages is too long if the only need was 50 words. I feel your pain!
The longest book you ever read lol. Nothing wrong with baby steps... Nice review and dissection, Randy.
I'm not familiar with this one..
