"Clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience," Paul wrote to the Colossian church in 60 AD.Five Words to Change the World brings this ancient wisdom into the modern age, weaving together personal stories, research, and leadership understanding with sharp humor and heartfelt honesty. This book is for leaders who have lost touch with why they lead, for believers who crave spiritual insights into Paul's words, and for anyone who still believes that five simple words can create a way in the wilderness.What began as early-morning journal entries during Brett Horton's own season of darkness became a collection of stories about growth, forgiveness, and the stubborn hope that people are inherently good. Drawing from life on a Kansas farm, years in hospitality, leadership, and countless lessons from both success and failure. Horton invites readers to slow down, laugh at their own missteps, and discover how acts of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience are the answer to healing a divided world.
