Change is so rapid today that leaders must do much more than stay the course to be successful. If they aren’t nimble and ready to adapt, they won’t survive. The key is to learn how to leadershift. In Leadershift, John C. Maxwell helps leaders gain the ability and willingness to make leadership changes that will positively enhance their organizational and personal growth. He does this by sharing the eleven shifts he made over the course of his long and successful leadership career. Each shift changed his trajectory and set him up for new and exciting achievements, ultimately strengthening and sustaining his leadership abilities and making him the admired leadership expert he is today. Among those leadershifts are the Adaptive Shift from Plan A to Option A, the Production Shift from Ladder Climbing to Ladder Building, and the Influence Shift from Positional Authority to Moral Authority. Maxwell gives specific guidance to readers about how to make these shifts in their own lives. Each one requires them to change the way they think, act, and ultimately lead so they can be successful in a world that never remains the same.

Skilfully weaving together uplifting wisdom and reassuring, practical guidance, this is a book for anyone looking for everyday disciplines to help them care for their soul. Live No Lies will equip you with all you need to make practices for resisting evil an active part of your spiritual formation, and leave you motivated to find happiness and peace in Jesus.

Feeling like you've blown it? Reached the point of no return? That your life hasn't gone as planned? If so, you are not alone. We all know what it feels like to have life disappoint us and not work out as we'd hoped. We all know what it's like to long for something different, something better, and something more... This six-session video study (DVD/digital video sold separately) shows us how God can use our messes and still make a masterpiece. Drawing on his own experiences and pivotal Bible stories, Louie Giglio, pastor and author of Don't Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table, shows how God is all about comebacks. Samson had blown it repeatedly; nevertheless, he experiences tremendous triumph at the end of his life. The prodigal son, as Jesus describes him, returns home in disgrace only to be welcomed by his father with open arms. The list goes on: Joseph, Moses, and Peter all experienced comebacks. Jesus himself performed the greatest comeback of all by rising from the dead. God is in the business of giving fresh starts, and His plans will always prevail, even when our plans don't. For the times when we feel like our lives are in the garbage, and it's hard to see God's plan, this study guide will help you see: How God uses our circumstances to strengthen us and fulfill his good plan. How to respond in spirit when our dreams are dashed. How Jesus' life, death, resurrection, and ascension is not only enough to save us but also to sustain us. No matter what kind of disappointment or grief or pain or trouble or heartache we encounter, God always offers a new beginning, a change of heart, and a powerful spiritual turnaround. Our current circumstances do not get the final say in our lives. God does. Designed for use with The Comeback Video Study (sold separately).
"The North Face of God" addresses those times of adversity when God seems to have abandoned us. Sometimes, when the cold winds of life blow and we cry out to God, he's silent, and we wonder if he still cares about us--or ever cared. Drawing on the Psalms, Ken Gire climbs the mountainous terrain of God's seeming indifference and helps us learn how to hold on to hope, despite our circumstances. He also calls us to become good "climbing partners" for other people who need help and encouragement along the way.
The spoken word has immense potential for either building up or tearing down. Too often, it's the latter. Many of us are daily carrying around hurtful words, sometimes without even knowing it. These negative words have great influence over our lives and the lives of those around us. But thankfully, they are not the last word. Mary Busha speaks to the hurting and guides them toward victory over the harmful, demeaning, or insulting words of their past. She shows readers how to - understand the emotions and circumstances behind the words - choose to want to forgive their offenders - embrace the truth about who they are created to be - recognize the effect of both negative and positive self-talk - pray effectively to break the power of negative words - and walk in the freedom God provides in his Word She also encourages readers to find ways to use their own words to lift up the people God places in their paths.
The role of altars in the realm of existence is very key because altars are meeting places between the physical and the spiritual, between the visible and the invisible. In one word, an altar is a gateway in the realm of the invisible. By implication, therefore, no matter the plan and the purpose of God for your life, family, children, relationships, businesses, communities, and other personal endeavours, you must have the spiritual understanding that, until satanic and demonic altars in your foundation are overthrown, you are most likely to fall short of God's plan for your life. No wonder God commanded Moses, "You must destroy their altars..." (Exodus 34:13-14). In this book, Pastor Uzor Ndekwu draws from his many years of experience as a deliverance minister to explain why you must overthrow foundational altars, and why you must confront demonic or satanic altars erected to hinder or frustrate God's plans for you and your family.
There is nothing like the pain of feeling invisible to those around you. It especially hurts when you are serving, giving, and loving, and no one seems to notice or even care. In creating The Invisible Woman, Nicole Johnson shows how much she understands the difficulty of living with great responsibility without receiving any recognition. Nicole puts us inside the mind and heart of Charlotte Fisher. And as we walk through Charlotte's story of feeling invisible, we experience the comedy and loneliness of her life. The invisibility that at first feels inflicted ultimately brings her real significance and meaning. Drawing her strength from the invisible builders of the great cathedrals, Charlotte realizes she is not invisible to God, and this simple truth changes everything for her. Faith is rekindled in her heart as she seeks to love her family in ways that only invisibility makes possible.

Act like a lady. Land a career. Find a man. Learn how to cook. Rear amazing kids. Oh And be sure you stay thin. Pressure to perform and conform starts early in a woman's life and never stops. In attempts to compensate and keep up appearances, we lose our ability to keep in touch with the truest parts of ourselves. We put on masks and hide the painful parts of our stories. If we get a quiet moment, we are ambushed with doubts: Who am I? This book serves as a companion as we find ourselves, our sense of community and our identity in God. Designed to take you deeper with God on your own or with a group of sisters, journey alongside experienced ministers Adele Ahlberg Calhoun and Tracey Bianchi into some of the places where women struggle--no matter what their age or life-stage. Personal resources like journaling questions and a small group guide help women support each other on the way. These pages offer a reminder that there is a beloved, "true you" waiting to be known in each of us and that a world in need awaits the unique stories that each of us were made to tell. Will you use your voice?

The Dead-Living Church'' re-defines the concept of church (the true Ekklesia), her global positioning and her responsibilities according to the original intent of God. Jesus' declaration in Matthew 16, I will build my church and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it far outweighs the theological assumptions and religious beliefs about what church is supposed to be. This book is not a product of professionalism; it is a prophetic release by the Spirit of the living God. The Church is not a denominational gathering of religious people, but the Ekklesia, the people called for an assignment, the assembly of legislating on behalf of God on earth. This book will take you through a journey. Its intent assuredly will awaken your spirit man to experience a paradigm shift from Churchianity to that which is God s original intention."
In 1715, Lady Blythe Hedley's father is declared an enemy of the British crown because of his Jacobite sympathies, forcing her to flee her home in northern England. Secreted to the tower of Wedderburn Castle in Scotland, Lady Blythe awaits who will ultimately be crowned king. But in a house with seven sons and numerous servants, her presence soon becomes known. No sooner has Everard Hume lost his father, Lord Wedderburn, than Lady Hedley arrives with the clothes on her back and her mistress in tow. He has his own problems--a volatile brother with dangerous political leanings, an estate to manage, and a very young brother in need of comfort and direction in the wake of losing his father. It would be best for everyone if he could send this misfit heiress on her way as soon as possible. Drawn into a whirlwind of intrigue, shifting alliances, and ambitions, Lady Blythe must be careful whom she trusts. Her fortune, her future, and her very life are at stake. Those who appear to be adversaries may turn out to be allies--and those who pretend friendship may be enemies.
This is more than a book it is a blueprint of what God is saying during this hour. Bill Vincent is an anointed Prophetic writer that releases powerful fresh revelation in this book. In THE PROTOTYPE CHURCH you will be able to see into God s heart of a new type of Church coming forth. The body of believers not caught up in this new move is against it, criticizing it as dangerous phenomena and preaching dire warnings about control, manipulation, and mental ill health. Any one whom is a critic is criticizing the Holy Spirit in this move. It is easy to speak against something you don t fully understand. Listen you need to be open to what God wants to do. You have never seen such a level of power, grace, and holiness of God all at one time. The church is outgrowing itself month by month. Are you ready for miracles as commonplace; the amazing and incredible presence of God to be everywhere. The team that you are part of, which is caught up in the epicenter of all this activity, is the most profound experience that you have ever encountered. Of course, there are problems problems that often are huge and time-consuming. However, as you pray for wisdom, the anointing to move forward is so great that godly insight seems to spring into your conscious mind with ease. During the moving forward to becoming a prototype Church you will find oppositions. Every day brings a pressure cocktail of more people, more needs, greater opposition, further demonic attacks, fresh misunderstandings, calculated misinterpretations, added responsibilities, supplementary clerical problems to overcome, and extra requirements for advice, leadership, and ministry. Everything is strained to the limit of personal and physical ability. One thing that will surely cause a quicker finished Church is Revival. Revival seems to be concerned with endurance and stamina as much as it is preoccupied with anointing and empowerment. You are in the midst of constant attack and blessing; of tiredness, pressure, and opposition; of trying to keep everything going smoothly so that more people can be touched and reached; of not losing people to poor organization and mismanagement. You do not want this move to blow through society, touching thousands of lives, but not see church built at the end of it. Indeed, it shows no signs of tapering off! Are you getting excited about a new move of God? The need to develop leaders and train people to look after others, the need for more prayer, and the demand for more workers is huge. You are caught up in the whole wonderful and demanding, exhausting mix of a move of God. The implications and repercussions are going to hit everyone, hard. You don t need this pressure right now. We know you will enjoy this powerful book THE PROTOTYPE CHURCH." |
