    • You Have A Calling

      Original price was: $21.99.Current price is: $17.97.

      What if your vocation doesn’t align with your passion?

      Some people are lucky enough to get paid to do what they love. But many are not.

      In You Have a Calling, award-winning author Karen Swallow Prior has encouraging news: If you pursue the good, true, and beautiful in all your work, you will find your greatest fulfillment. In this book, you’ll discover:

      – how knowing the crucial difference between passion and calling transforms how you view work;

      – how to finding meaning in every role, regardless of your career; and

      – how everyday work reflects the image of God through truth, goodness, and beauty.

      In an age when passion and calling are often confused, Prior helps you understand that passions come from within, while your calling, or vocation, comes from without and is about being called by others to serve. That crucial distinction can help you understand how God can use both your passions and our work, even if for different purposes.

      This book will appeal to everyone who wants to know that their daily work, ordinary though it may be, can fulfill a higher calling to God. You will gain a renewed sense of purpose, knowing you are created for virtue in all you do because you are created in the image of God.

    • Scripture And Scrubs

      $27.99

      When Christian healthcare professionals engage in their practice, they serve people who are hurting, ill, and in positions of vulnerability-from newborn infants to people in their last days of life. As a group, Christian healthcare professionals serve on the frontlines of spiritual and temporal warfare where theology and praxis intersect.

      In Scripture and Scrubs: A Christian Calling to Healthcare, social work professor Michael E. Sherr, dean of nursing Angelia M. Mickle, and theologian Jason K. Lee partner together to provide Christian healthcare professionals with tangible guidance and scriptural encouragement in their chosen vocation. Part One investigates the role of the healthcare professional as an agent of common grace and a frontline worker for the God of the Bible. Part Two then unpacks specific character traits of the Christian healthcare professional and ends with concrete tips for thriving amid the many challenges of healthcare service.

      Useful as a textbook for students pursuing degrees in medicine, nursing, pharmacy, psychology, social work, and allied health fields, each chapter provides real-life scenarios that can be used as case studies. Additionally, chapters include questions for further reflection or classroom discussion.

      Grounded in both theological insights and the experiences of longtime healthcare professionals, Scripture and Scrubs provides a Christian vision of healthcare practice that will encourage weary professionals and inspire students preparing to enter their respective areas of service.

    • When Work Hurts

      $18.00

      Sometimes Work Hurts

      We might be discouraged, disillusioned, or devastated by our work. We might experience trauma or harassment on the job, or we may have experienced work loss by getting fired. If you’ve been beat up, burnt out, or brokenhearted by work, you’re not alone.

      The Bible tells us that work will be difficult-filled with thorns and thistles-but no one prepares us for the pain we experience on the job. In When Work Hurts Meryl Herr:

      *Explores the emotional, relational, and vocational pain that work causes and helps us rebound and build resilience so we can fully participate with God in his mission,

      *Walks through the biblical story of the Israelites’ journey of exile, return, and rebuilding as a framework for spiritual and practical resources for navigating work loss, and

      *Shows that we can take comfort in the fact that God is at work in the midst of our work to bring healing and hope.

    • Working From The Inside Out

      $18.99

      Many today are experiencing social isolation, deep anxieties about the future, and various difficulties in the workplace. For too many of us, work seems tedious, painful, or meaningless. And we don’t know what to do about it.

      Working from the Inside Out pulls back the veil on the deep emotional and vocational challenges faced by the majority of workers and shows how work can become a way to love God, serve our neighbors, and demonstrate the gospel to the world. Bringing together emotional, relational, vocational, intellectual, and civic health through the seamless thread of vocation, Jeff Haanen offers a way out of the disintegration of our culture and toward a reintegrated life lived in response to God’s voice.

      The inner work of transformation leads to external transformation of our relationships and our work, and that good work influences our cities and the culture around us. Living from the inside out can change our work and heal our world.

      Additional Info
      Is there more to clinical supervision than our current theories and methods can provide? Whether we intend them to be or not, our mentoring practices are personally formative for supervisees and supervisors alike. Developing Clinicians of Character grounds our thinking in the historic and contemporary wisdom of virtue ethics and grows out of a love for the practice of clinical supervision. It aims to identify and strengthen supervision’s important role for character formation in the classroom, in continuing education for practitioners, and in clinical settings.

      After an overview of the role of character formation in clinical supervision, Developing Clinicians of Character examines each classical Christian virtue in turn, its corresponding professional ethical aspiration, and how we can use the practices of clinical supervision and spiritual formation together to foster character formation for Christian maturity and Christlikeness.

      Dr. Terri S. Watson welcomes and equips you to excel in “the helping profession within a helping profession” as you provide clinical supervision for other mental health workers in counseling, psychology, and marriage and family therapy. This book will shape your own character through spiritual disciplines in the classical virtues-and outward in expanding circles of encouragement, formation, and healing.

    • Power Of Character In Leadership

      $16.99

      How to Protect Your Leadership Influence and Power

      You’ve worked hard to achieve your dreams and goals. Many others have done the same-only to lose it all in the end. Every day, we read about successful people in various walks of life who have lost their power and influence. They’ve been fired, forced to resign, or shamed out of public life. They no longer have a market for their gifts, and they may even face criminal proceedings. These leaders have lost the trust of their companies, constituents, nations, followers, and families. Many were surprised to discover that their talents alone were not enough to prevent their downfall.

      Why did they fail in the end? Because they lacked the one quality that would have protected their leadership and given them enduring influence. Ironically, this quality is seldom taught to leaders today, either formally or informally. It is the quality of moral force, or character.

      Every human being is a leader over some domain as he or she exercises gifts and influence. That domain might be the halls of government, the boardroom, the classroom, the community, or the home. In The Power of Character in Leadership: How Values, Morals, Ethics, and Principles Affect Leaders, you will discover what character is, what it means to develop moral force, and how to preserve your leadership influence so that it is both effective and enduring.

      “Grant, Lord, that I may know myself that I may know thee.” -Augustine

      Much is said in Christian circles about knowing God. But Christians throughout the ages have agreed that there cannot be deep knowledge of God without deep knowledge of the self. Discerning your true self is inextricably related to discerning God’s purposes for you. Paradoxically, the more you become like Christ, the more you become authentically yourself.

      In this profound exploration of Christian identity, psychologist and spiritual director David G. Benner illuminates the spirituality of self-discovery. He exposes the false selves that you may hide behind and calls you to discover the true self that emerges from your uniqueness in Christ. Freeing you from illusions about yourself, Benner shows that self-understanding leads to the fulfillment of your God-given destiny and vocation.

      Rest assured, you need not try to be someone you are not. But you will deepen your experience of God through discovering the gift of being yourself.

      This expanded edition, one of three titles in The Spiritual Journey trilogy, includes a new epilogue and an experiential guide with questions for individual reflection or group discussion.

As Jeff Goins explains, the search begins with passion but does not end there. Only when our interests connect with the needs of the world do we begin living for a larger purpose.

      Como proteger la influencia y el poder de su liderazgo

      Usted ha trabajado duro para lograr sus sueos y metas. Muchos otros han hecho lo mismo, solo para perderlo todo al final. Cada dia, leemos sobre personas exitosas en varios ambitos de la vida que han perdido su poder y su influencia. Han sido despedidos, obligados a renunciar, o sacados con verguenza de la vida publica. Ya no tienen un mercado para sus dones, y puede que incluso se enfrenten a acciones judiciales. Esos lideres han perdido la confianza de sus empresas, electores, naciones, seguidores y familias. Muchos quedaron sorprendidos al descubrir que sus talentos por si solos no fueron suficientes para evitar su caida.

      Por que fracasaron al final? Porque carecian de la unica cualidad que habria protegido su liderazgo y les habria dado influencia perdurable. Ironicamente, esta cualidad rara vez se ensea a los lideres actualmente, ya sea formalmente o informalmente. Es la cualidad de la fuerza moral, o caracter.

      Todo ser humano es un lider sobre algun dominio en el que el o ella ejercita dones e influencia. Ese dominio podria ser los pasillos del gobierno, la sala de juntas, el salo

    • Failing Forward : Turning Mistakes Into Stepping Stones For Success

      $19.99

      Are some people born to achieve anything they want while others struggle? Call them lucky, blessed, or possessors of the Midas touch. What is the real reason for their success? Is it family background, wealth, greater opportunities, high morals, an easy childhood?
      John Maxwell has the answer—the difference between average people and achieving people is their perception of and response to failure.

      Most people are never prepared to deal with failure. Maxwell says that if you are like him, coming out of school, you feared it, misunderstood it, and ran away from it. But Maxwell learned to make failure his friend, and he can teach you to do the same.

      “I want to help you learn how to confidently look the prospect of failure in the eye and move forward anyway,” says Maxwell. “Because in life, the question is not if you will have problems, but how you are going to deal with them. Stop failing backward and start failing forward!”
