The 12 Essentials Of Godly Success

Based on his belief that the Bible is not silent on the subject of success, Nelson points out the areas in life where readers must be successful.

Everywhere we turn there are Christian success manuals, but often their advice is contradictory: sometimes advising that God wants you to have it all; at other times, calling us to a life of self-denial. Free to Succeed explores a road less traveled, a road that leads to what real success is all about.

In the desire and quest to make sense of the world and our existence, three great sirens have lured men and women into a lull with the empty promise to make their lives meaningful. The great king of Israel, Solomon, though the wisest man, was not immune to their song. But at the end of his life, Solomon, in all of his God-given wisdom, stopped to contemplate on all that competed for his attention. He wrote his conclusions in the Book of Ecclesiastes.Tommy Nelson continues his study of Solomon's writings by taking an in-depth look at Ecclesiastes. In a world such as ours, where the search for meaning and purpose propels mankind to try everything under the sun, Solomon's conclusions ring louder than ever for a people who need answers more than ever.

Often fragile marriages or parent-child relationships are held together by little more than band-aids, paper clips, or rubber bands. Such makeshift repairs only work temporarily. Good News! The Word of God offers more than temporary fixes for these human struggles. There is hope for your home life no matter how serious the problems or how deep the conflicts may seem. God's Hope for Your Home explores the biblical essentials for maintaining healthy family relationships and living with a godly hope. "Keeping the Word of God at the center of the family circle is not something than can be done part time like a hobby, nor is it an easy goal. Lance Sparks has given families a practical and helpful head start with God's Hope for Your Home. I'm grateful for his clear, readable, engaging exposition of so many biblical principles that have direct application to family life. Whether you are a new parent or a seasoned grandparent, I know you will find this book supremely helpful. I'm delighted to see it in print, and I hope it will motivate and encourage Christian families for generations to come." -John MacArthur Pastor Lance D.

"The more I read the Bible, the more evident it becomes that everything I have ever taught or written about effective leadership over the past 25 years, Jesus did to perfection. He is simply the greatest leadership role model of all time." Effective leadership—whether on the job, in the community, at church, or in the home—starts on the inside. In this revised classic, renowned leadership expert Ken Blanchard guides you through the process of discovering how to lead like Jesus. Before you can hope to lead anyone else, you must know who you are. Every leader must answer two critical questions. One deals with your relationship to Christ. The other with your life purpose. Whose are you going to be? Who are you going to be? Learning to lead like Jesus can be described as the process of aligning two internal domains (the heart and the head) and two external domains (the hands and the habits). These four dimensions of leadership form the outline for this very practical and transformational book, from which you will learn how to: Integrate your faith with your role and responsibility as a leader Identify your priorities Build your relationship with God in a new and personal way Move from success to significance Lead out of service rather than self-interest Put the love of Jesus into action With simple yet profound principles from the life of Jesus, and dozens of stories and leadership examples from his own life, Ken Blanchard once again shows us the way effective leaders lead.
