Never Alone - Women's Bible Study Leader Guide
Author: Tiffany Bluhm
Publisher: Abingdon Press
ISBN: 1501845853
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 126
Book Description
From the time we’re little girls, we long to be loved and accepted—from the playground to the lunchroom to the places where we live and work as grown women. We do our best to prove we’re lovable and to avoid being left all alone. But the truth is that it’s impossible to walk through life without experiencing the pain and loneliness of betrayal, shame, guilt, loss, judgment, or rejection. These wounds can shape our views of ourselves, others, and God and even make us question if we are worthy of love and acceptance. Whether old or new, our heartache can convince us there’s no one who understands or cares. Yet Jesus tells us a different story, promising us that we are never alone. In this six-week study, Tiffany Bluhm reveals the depth and healing power of Jesus’ unconditional love for us through a refreshing look at encounters He had with six shame-filled, hurting women in the Gospels: the woman caught in adultery, the hemorrhaging woman, the woman at the well, the woman who anointed Him, Mary Magdalene, and Mary, the mother of Jesus. Each life-changing encounter reveals a compassionate Redeemer who offers hope, second chances, and grace-giving love—helping us to recognize and embrace our own incredible value as well as our indispensable role in the Kingdom. With powerful teaching and authentic sharing from her own life and the lives of others, Tiffany invites us to find healing for our deepest hurts as we experience the unfailing companionship of Jesus—the Rescuer and Redeemer of broken lives and wounded hearts. This comprehensive leader guide includes full session outlines featuring discussion questions, activities, prayers, leader helps, and more. Other available components, each available separately, include a Participant Workbook with five days of lessons per week, DVD with six 20-25 minute sessions (with closed captioning), and boxed Leader Kit containing one of each component.

The Ultimate Leader
Author: Todd A. Phillipy
Publisher: Xulon Press
ISBN: 161579901X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
Synopsis: It is time for a leadership revolution. The old days of command-and-control leadership are over. The new movement of empowering leadership has arrived, and it is servant leadership. Todd Phillipy's newest book will empower you personally and professionally by examining the principles and practices of The Ultimate Leader, Jesus Christ. In just three short years, Jesus became the most influential leader in history by serving rather than being served. If you have been inspired by the life and teachings of Christ, then you need to read this book. Endorsements: "Todd Phillipy's answer to the complexities and nuanced crucibles of leadership so common to the present age is one of faith, discipline, excellence, and hope. He is fearless in his conceptualizations, a writer who illumines what needs to be illumined, a leader of uncommon giftedness. Read this book and enjoy the processes of life, growth, and healing leadership culture." Shann Ferch, Ph.D., Professor of Leadership, Gonzaga University "I highly recommend this book for all those on the journey of leadership. In the search for how to lead, this book offers not only theoretically sound insights, but also practical and digestible insights that will speak to the heart. This book is not limited to one industry, but is applicable to all facets of leadership, whether in a church, a business, or any other setting; all while providing a depth of understanding to all that read." Dr. Kathleen Patterson, Associate Professor of Leadership Studies, Regent University "The Ultimate Leader will make you an empowering leader, while giving you a dramatic view of the greatest leader of all. Phillipy provides a kind of how-to manual for succeeding as a true servant leader - internally, externally, and for eternity." Dr. Kent Ingle, College of Ministry Dean, Northwest University "Leaders and those in the business of developing leaders are constantly asking, what is the voice of the emerging generation and what do they expect of leaders. As a member of the emerging generation himself, Phillipy has an important take on leadership, empowerment, and on what leadership could and should be about." Dr. Robert McKenna, Chair, Department of Industrial/Organizational Psychology, Seattle Pacific University and author of Dying to Lead.

The Conviction to Lead

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
Leadership Principles from a Renowned Agent of Change Cultures and organizations do not change without strong leadership. While many leadership books focus on management or administration, the central focus of The Conviction to Lead is on changing minds.

Since then he has been one of the most prominent voices in evangelicalism, fighting for Christian principles and challenging secular culture. Using his own experiences and examples from history, Dr. Mohler demonstrates that real leadership is a transferring of conviction to others, affecting their actions, motivations, intuition, and commitment. This practical guide walks the reader through what a leader needs to know, do, and be in order to affect change.

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.
