Praise for Re-Think It

Re-think It is a God-send to me and anyone hoping to bring fresh vision or direction to their lives and the lives of others… The unlearning journey starts with us. I recommend this book as both a helpful tool and an enjoyable and thought-provoking read!”

— Paul Clayton Gibbs — Founder of the Pais Movement, Author of Talmidim: How to Disciple Anyone in Anything.

“It seems those, who continue to have a strategic impact in their lifetime, are people like Paul, who challenge what they know and are familiar with in exchange for unlearning and the willingness to do and try something new.”

— Julia A’Bell — National Leader, Australian Christian Women

“We can live with the assumption that we are growing, only to awaken to the confronting reality that we merely repeat and reinforce learnt behaviour. We have all heard of the leader that claimed to have 25 years of experience when sadly, they had only one year of experience repeated 25 times! Paul Bartlett thinks and lives ‘outside of the box’ … Take up the challenge of Re-think It and get ready for the adventure of recalibrating your journey.”

— Wayne Alcorn — Senior Pastor, Hope Centre, National President, Australian Christian Churches

“What an inspiring, energetic, thought provoking leader Paul Bartlett is. Over the years I’ve watched Paul lead in many contexts bringing disruption, innovation and creativity to challenge and inspire leaders and to ‘change the conversations.”

Melinda Dwight — National Director, Alpha Australia

“Paul Bartlett has written a stimulating book, which challenges us to break out of old and fixed ways of thinking. A fixed mindset can prevent us from seeking new opportunities and means to reach out to our communities with the Gospel. A flexible mindset enables us to be innovative and creative as we communicate with a constantly changing community. Paul inspires us to new ways of thinking and acting. It is an important call. I encourage you to read this book.”

— Stephen Fogarty — President, Alphacrucis College and author, Light a Fire

“If you take up the challenge and hope that Re-think It offers you, the course of your life will surely take a new direction – personally and in the various aspects of your life’s setting. Its final goal is the Glory of God and a transformed world. Paul has not only written a book out of theoretical studies and research; his book is the result of a personal, practical journey of ‘unlearning.’”

— Johannes Schneider — Leader of Ecclesia Churches

“In Re-think It, Paul Bartlett offers tools to help us excavate, examine and elevate our foundations in ways that will give us greater courage, strength and joy. As a husband, a father, a pastor of a local church and a national leader in his denomination, Paul Bartlett is well placed to have seen this unfold in his own life and in the lives of thousands of people, whether they are people of faith or not.”

— Phil Inglis — Wollongong Corps, The Salvation Army

“Paul has always been on a quest to inspire, challenge and push others to think differently. This revelation of unlearning is the most important challenge of all. I have now been adopting this strategy to unpack my biases about people and systems in my work with boards, organisations and colleagues. Most of all, it’s helped me draw near to God and hear Him afresh. This journey won’t be easy or instant, [but Re-Think It] is a guide to us all through the most important personal journey of all – unlearning.”

— Mark W. Sewell — CEO Warrigal; Director ACS NSW; Illawarra ACS Regional Chair; Chairman Lighthouse; IBC board

“As I read the manuscript of Re-think It, I felt a deep excitement rising within me. Surely there is no better time for us than during a COVID-19 crisis in our society to decide that going back to the basics is essential. That doesn't mean that what we as Christians and Christian churches have been doing is wrong or bad. It has been good, but not the best. … “Unlearning” as Christians is a major challenge that this book has very effectively addressed. This is a crucial message for our time.”

— Keith Farmer — Principal Emeritus, Australia College of Ministries

“This brilliant book opens up the doors of our mind to consider that things may not be as they seem. The impact that we are longing to have may not be possible with the practices and processes that we used ten years ago. We all have to return to becoming “Life-Long Learners”. The is not an easy journey, but it is one we must all make. Paul Bartlett provides the compass for the journey. The future begins now.”

— Ian Green — Speaker, coach, consultant and author, Checking into Faith
