    GRSB4St. Gregory's Conclusion to the Field Guide

    Book 4 is very short. A few paragraphs of encouragement to the people for whom he wrote this book. To me, as his paraphraser, it has become personal. I feel like I know him—and that I owe St. Gregory an eternal debt of gratitude. Hear what he has to say as his concluding thoughts; how he ends a book that he didn’t want to write—but felt he had no choice. St. Gregory’s Summary Statement for Book 4: How the Preacher, When He Has Accomplished All Aright, Should Return to Himself, Lest Either His Life or His Preaching Lift Him Up.

    GRSB3Ch34 The Christian Need for Project Management

    Book 3 of the field guide addresses the question, How do I lead all these people, anyway. They’re all so different?

Time management and Project Management fall under that umbrella—and he makes it clear that when they are missing, well, that can be sinful. St. Gregory helps us understand the importance of what Peter Drucker called “Managing Oneself.”. St. Gregory's Summary Statement for this chapter: How those are to be admonished who do not even begin good things, and those who do not finish them when begun.
