Book Description
The first-person account of the family that changed the American retail landscape that Dave Ramsey calls a must-read. Longtime Dollar General CEO Cal Turner, Jr. shares his extraordinary life as heir to the company founded by his father, Cal Turner, Sr., and his grandfather, a dirt farmer turned Depression-era entrepreneur. Cal's narrative is at its heart a father-son story, from his childhood in Scottsville, Kentucky, where business and family were one, to the triumph of reaching the Fortune 300 -- at the cost of risking that very father/son relationship. Cal shares how the small-town values with which he was raised helped him guide Dollar General from family enterprise to national powerhouse. Chronicling three generations of a successful family with very different leadership styles, Cal Jr. shares a wealth of wisdom from a lifetime on the entrepreneurial front lines. He shows how his grandfather turned a third-grade education into an asset for success. He reveals how his driven father hatched the game-changing dollar price point strategy and why it worked. And he explains how he found his own leadership style when he took his place at the helm -- values-based, people-oriented, and pragmatic. Cal's story provides a riveting look at the family love and drama behind Dollar General's spectacular rise, pays homage to the working-class people whose no-frills needs helped determine its rock-bottom prices, and shares the life and lessons of one of America's most compelling business leaders.

Book Description
Jesus was also about His Father's business. It was the only plan that made sense to Him and the one for which He would give His life. As an adult, He knew hard work, sleepless nights, and hunger. He was homeless and a man of sorrows, yet always rejoicing. He was poor, yet made many rich. As Jesus told the young man on the road to Jerusalem, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head" (Luke 9:58). By the common measurements of man, Jesus' earthly life was a failure; "though He was rich, yet for your sakes, He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich" (2 Cor. 8:9). However, no man can be said to have had a greater influence. "And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him" (Hebrews 5:9)Jesus' life was spent doing nothing but contributing to the most significant business the world has ever known...His Father's! It took a long time, but I eventually came to appreciate and understand the importance of dedicating my life's work to God. Today, I happily work for both of my fathers-my earthly father and my Heavenly Father. It is a business I would not trade for anything. Looking back, I see now that in the moments where I thought we had nothing, we truly possessed everything. My father knew. It was his business to know, and nothing could beat it out of him. This is my story of picking up his business.

Book Description
What does it mean to find God's will for your life? How can you know your calling. . . your destiny? When we say, "Lord, Your will be done," we are asking God to place His deepest yearnings into our hearts and alter the circumstances of our lives. In My Father's Business, you will see how others responded to God's yearning for passionate living and enjoyed his blessings and promises. Enjoy inspirational stories about General George S. Patton, Bruce Wilkerson, Jim Valvano, Walt Disney, Mother Teresa, Abraham Lincoln, Colonel Sanders, Jeremy Lin, and others. The word discernment comes from two Latin words: discernere (to perceive) and discretis (to separate). To discern God's voice and will is to engage in an intimate conversation with the Creator of all things. God sees beyond our past and knows our secret desires, even those desires we do not yet know exist. In My Father's Business, you will see how others responded to the yearning God placed within their heart and enjoyed their Father's blessing. As you read these short stories, ask: Will my current course of action use my gifts, talents, and passions? How has my previous experience prepared me for the task ahead? Will this new opportunity cause me to be more loving, kind, and compassionate? Will I be forced to trust God more? Is this an expansion of my influence for God? Who benefits from my actions more than me? What will it cost me and my family? Is this a time-sensitive opportunity? The stories in this short book illustrate how others have heard God's call and heeded His voice. Our prayer is that you will learn to recognize the whisper of Jesus and both discern and do His Father's will.

Book Description
It’s never too late to be a better father Jim Daly, president and CEO of Focus on the Family, is an expert in fatherhood—in part because his own "fathers" failed him so badly. His biological dad was an alcoholic. His stepfather deserted him. His foster father accused Jim of trying to kill him. All were out of Jim's life by the time he turned 13. Isn’t it odd—and reminiscent of the hand of God—that the director of the leading organization on family turned out to be a guy whose own background as a kid and son were pretty messed up? Or could it be that successful parenting is discovered not in the perfect, peaceful household but in the midst of battles and messy situations, where God must constantly be called to the scene? That is the mystery unraveled in this book. Using his own expertise, humor, and inexhaustible wealth of stories, Jim will show you that God can make you a good dad, a great dad, in spite of the way you’ve grown up and in spite of the mistakes you’ve made. Maybe even because of them. It’s not about becoming a perfect father. It’s about trying to become a better father, each and every day. It's about building relationships with your children through love, grace, patience, and fun—and helping them grow into the men and women they’re meant to be.

Book Description
USA Today Bestseller List. Many have written about Billy Graham, the evangelist. This is the first book about Billy Graham, the father, written from the perspective of a son who knew him best. As a beloved evangelist and a respected man of God, Billy Graham’s stated purpose in life never wavered: to help people find a personal relationship with God through a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. This was a calling that only increased over time, and Billy embraced it fully throughout his active ministry and beyond. Yet Billy pursued his life’s work, as many men do, amid a similarly significant calling to be a loving husband and father. While most people knew Billy Graham as America’s pastor, Franklin Graham knew him in a different way, as a dad. And while present and future generations will come to their own conclusions about Billy Graham and the legacy that his commitment to Christ has left behind, no one can speak more insightfully or authoritatively on that subject than a son who grew up in the shadow of his father’s life and the examples of his father’s love. This vulnerable book is a look at both Billy Graham the evangelist and Billy Graham the father, and the impact he had on a son who walked in his father’s steps while also becoming his own man, leading ministries around the world, all of it based on the foundational lessons his father taught him. “My father left behind a testimony to God,” says Franklin, “a legacy not buried in a grave but still pointing people to a heaven-bound destiny. The Lord will say to my father, and to all who served Him obediently, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant’ [Matthew 25:21].”

Book Description
The Father's business is unlike any other business. His business is the one enterprise that surpasses and supercedes all others. There is no comparison to another, because His kingdom in on a different plane, a different planet, a different world, and a different universe. The kingdom of God, of which every believer in a part, holds a place in time and history and importance that every other kingdom, past, present, and future pales in comparison. As a son of God, we have inherited His Business. In heir inherits his father's wealth and assets, but he also inherits the father's business - to carry it on. It is God's will for us to inherit more than His benefits, but also to inherit His business. It is a selfish and irresponsible son who wants to inherit the estate and wealth of the father without assuming the responsibilities of the business. The only purpose for us as sons of God is to fulfill and complete His mission -- His business. He took our place in His death at Calvary. Jesus' words at the early age of 12 should challenge us as sons of God: "I must be about my father's business. And it is God's will for us to spend the few days of the Church Age completing His mission, His business, and His work that He exampled and defined for us in His brief ministry on earth. Fulfilling the Father's business will involve stepping into the two purposes for which God created man: Relationship - God and Man sharing a mutual commitment of love, communication, and trust. God and man relationship roles include: Father/Child; Groom/Bride; Friend/Friend. Relationship in the major theme of Volume I. Dominion - God sharing His authority and power with man to fulfill His mission and purpose, and to do His will and work on earth. God's decision to do nothing on earth through man created a valid relationship of mutual need in which God would need man and man would need God.
