A moving story, told in Ken Blanchard's appealing parable style,
of how a local church can be either a blessing or a curse to their
community.
The Most Loving Place in Town is the story of two men, a
disillusioned church elder and a gifted young pastor, who recognize
that their church has lost sight of its number one priority: loving
God and each other. They begin a search, independently at first, to
recapture their lost love and then together lead their fellowship
in a successful discovery of the secret to becoming a beacon of
love in their community. By the end of the story you clearly see
and understand why this secret, so simple yet so profound, is vital
and how to apply it to your own life and the life of your
church.
"Remarkable. This profound volume informs and inspires." —PW,
STARRED review From the Pulitzer Prize–winning New York
Times science reporter acclaimed for “bring[ing] scientific
concepts to life†(Bill Gates), a pathbreaking new investigation
into the mysteries of human creativity How does creativity work?
Where does inspiration come from? What are the secrets of our most
revered creators? How can we maximize our creative potential? THIS
IS THE STORY OF HOW WE CREATE. Creativity defines the human
experience. It sparks achievement and innovation in art, science,
technology, business, sports, and virtually every activity. It has
fueled human progress on a global level, but it equally is the
source of profound personal satisfaction for individual creators.
And yet the origins of creative inspiration and the methods by
which great creators tap into it have long been a source of
mystery, spoken of in esoteric terms, our rational understanding
shrouded in complex jargon. Until now. Inspired is a book about the
science of creativity, distilling an explosion of exciting new
research from across the world. Through narrative storytelling,
Richtel marries these findings with timeless insight from some of
the world’s great creators as he deconstructs the authentic
nature of creativity, its biological and evolutionary origins, its
deep connection to religion and spirituality, the way it bubbles in
each of us, urgent and essential, waiting to be tapped. Many of the
questions Richtel addresses are practical: What are the traits of
successful creators? Under which conditions does creativity
thrive? How can we move past creative blocks? The ultimate message
of Inspired is that creativity is more accessible than many might
imagine, as necessary, beautiful, and fulfilling as any essential
part of human nature.
