This book will educate you in the care of your spouse,' explains Dr
Willard Harley. 'Once you have learned its lessons, your spouse
will find you irresistible, a condition that's essential to a happy
and successful marriage.' This fresh and highly entertaining book
identifies the ten most important needs within marriage for
husbands and wives. It teaches you how to fulfil each other's
needs. Couples who find each other irresistible during the early
years of their marriage may become incompatible if they fail to
meet these central needs. According to Dr Harley, the needs of men
and women are similar, but their priorities are vastly different.
Are you able to identify which of the following needs are his and
which are hers? In what order would you place them? Admiration,
Affection, An attractive spouse,Conversation, Domestic support,
Family commitment, Financial support, Honesty and openness,

Parenting is messy business. Joyful, but messy. When faith is
combined with parenting, we double down on the mess. Pastor and
father of three Justin Lind-Ayres chronicles his adventures (and
misadventures) raising children and passing on his faith to
them--teaching them to be compassionate, generous, quick to
forgive, and to trust in God's promises. But this father is sure to
point out that it is children who are our best teachers in faith,
opening our eyes and our hearts to GodAs love for us. In the messy
and challenging moments of parenting, and in the joyful ones, God
is fully present. And a God who knows your story--especially the
messy parts--is a God who can redeem you.With stories full of
humor, honesty, and, yes, even some poop, this book is a welcome
encouragement for parents, grandparents, and anyone who cares
deeply for the children in their life.
Whether you're a leader of ten, a hundred, or many more, there's no one
more important to lead than yourself. If you're not leading yourself,
why would anyone else want to follow you? Ryan Leak speaks to thousands
of leaders every year, and he has learned that the most successful
people have taken ownership of their own development—and in order to
realize your potential, you need to fully understand yourself.
Being a great leader is not about having all the answers but asking the
right questions—and that starts with careful introspection and inviting
others to tell you what they see in you. Leveling Up helps you focus on
the person you're becoming and think about the goals you want to
accomplish.
Some of the twelve strategic questions in this book include:
• What is it like to be around me? (The Self-Awareness Question)
• What credit can I give away? (The Team Player Question)
• Who knows who I really am? (The Transparency Question)
• What's my definition of success? (The Vision Question)
• Do I have to do it all? (The Rest Question)
• Am I enjoying it? (The Fun Question)
Leadership theory and business practices are important to study, but
nothing is better than discovering the answers that will reveal who you
are at your core, where you want to go in your career and life in
general, and how you can influence and impact those around you.
