Iron Sharpening Iron Book Club

Summer 2024

A sociologist, a game designer, and a pastor walk into a coffee shop...

What do they have to say to each other? Turns out, quite a bit.

Ruha Benjamin, Jane McGonigal, and Kenda Creasy Dean have each written books that challenge us to prioritize imagination. Not for escapism or whimsy, but as a crucial tool in leading organizations in a time of unprecedented change. In this summer’s book club conversations we’ll explore what lessons these books have in common, where they deviate from one another, what they have to say to us as leaders, and what implications they have for the church.

You don’t have to be an ISI alumnae to participate in these conversations! Feel free to share with friends and colleagues.
