He Leads

TIME Magazine’s Person of the Year: Pope Francis Learn about the First Jesuit Pope from America’s Leading Jesuit Publisher “Pope Francis by Chris Lowney is that rare and splendid work that leaves you keenly excited and spiritually moved. The writing is lucid, vivid, inviting, and rich. It’s a major achievement. I strongly recommend it to any Christian in a leadership role.” - Joseph Tetlow, SJ From choosing to live in a simple apartment instead of the papal palace to washing the feet of men and women in a youth detention center, Pope Francis’s actions contradict behaviors expected of a modern leader. Chris Lowney, a former Jesuit seminarian turned Managing Director for JP Morgan & Co., shows how the pope’s words and deeds reveal spiritual principles that have prepared him to lead the Church and influence our world—a rapidly-changing world that requires leaders who value the human need for love, inspiration, and meaning. Drawing on interviews with people who knew him as Father Jorge Bergoglio, SJ, Lowney challenges assumptions about what it takes to be a great leader. In so doing, he reveals the “other-centered” leadership style of a man whose passion is to be with people rather than set apart. Lowney offers a stirring vision of leadership to which we can all aspire in our communities, churches, companies, and families.

Do you ever find yourself asking questions such as: Does God really care enough about me to actually move on my behalf? Does He still lead us and guide us through life? Many Christians still don't know how to recognize when God is moving in their lives. The Lord has a perfect plan for each Christian to fulfill; however, it must start with the first step: trust and obey. In reading this book Where He Leads, I Will Follow let it encourage you to open your heart to receiving all that God has planned for your life, and watch His perfect plan unfold for you! If He can do it for me, He can and will do it for you!

You Walk, He Leads is not the usual 7-steps to discover God’s will; it’s about walking in relationship with the Lord to know Him who wants you to know and do His will. The book argues that the first step to do God’s will is not about trying to discover God’s hidden will, it’s about discerning God’s revealed will. Can you imagine God saying, “I want you to do My will. Now go figure!”? Part 1 of You Walk, He Leads deals with three fundamental issues about discerning and doing God’s will, such as, Is God’s will a dot or a circle? Part 2 discusses the key elements that a person needs to discern and walk in God’s will. One of which is about having the right values. Personal values have the power to influence a person’s decision. Godly values lead to right decisions, ungodly values lead to wrong decisions. Part 3 provides the reader with three excellent tools to help him or her to walk in the Lord’s direction for his or her life: Marking Your Milestones, Drawing Your Timeline and Framing Your Purpose. You Walk, He Leads is written by a Malaysian Christian in the Malaysian context, but the principles are universal. The book is written in an easy-to-read style and well-illustrated with biblical and personal examples.

Life isn't always easy, no matter who you are. This collection of poems have been an inspiration to many over the years, from family and friends to missionaries and prisoners. These poems were written in times of personal pain, sorrow and grief and that of others. Some were penned in times of great blessings and joy. Now with encouragement from family and friends, the author shares them with you.

A collection of poems in which God has taken the author's anxious moments and forced her mind and hand to make sense of them in the form of poetry. He has inspired her, driven her, taught her, and even given her lines and images to help her focus on what He would have her write. They tell a very real story of the person she has become and are meant to be a testimony to the power of God in the life of a rebellious sinner. Her journey has been both exhausting and exhilarating, but it will be worth the effort if other lives are blessed and inspired.

After writing our first two books (Never Too Old to Serve the Lord [ISBN 978-1-5434-4175-8] and Still Never Too Old to Serve the Lord [ISBN 978-1-5434-6437-5]), we thought that you would be interested in knowing how we prepared for our life as missionaries to people around the world. Within this book, you will read about the joy, sorrow, struggles, and blessings that we experienced through our preparation years prior to our first mission trip in 1993. We want to share these milestones that prepared us for desiring mission work the rest of our lives.
