Book Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER On the twenty-fifth anniversary of Kurt Cobain’s death comes a new perspective on one of the most compelling icons of our time In early 1991, top music manager Danny Goldberg agreed to take on Nirvana, a critically acclaimed new band from the underground music scene in Seattle. He had no idea that the band’s leader, Kurt Cobain, would become a pop-culture icon with a legacy arguably at the level of that of John Lennon, Michael Jackson, or Elvis Presley. Danny worked with Kurt from 1990 to 1994, the most impactful period of Kurt’s life. This key time saw the stratospheric success of Nevermind, which turned Nirvana into the most successful rock band in the world and made punk and grunge household terms; Kurt’s meeting and marriage to the brilliant but mercurial Courtney Love and their relationship that became a lightning rod for critics; the birth of their daughter, Frances Bean; and, finally, Kurt’s public struggles with addiction, which ended in a devastating suicide that would alter the course of rock history. Throughout, Danny stood by Kurt’s side as manager, and close friend. Drawing on Goldberg’s own memories of Kurt, files that previously have not been made public, and interviews with, among others, Kurt’s close family, friends, and former bandmates, Serving the Servants sheds an entirely new light on these critical years. Casting aside the common obsession with the angst and depression that seemingly drove Kurt, Serving the Servants is an exploration of his brilliance in every aspect of rock and roll, his compassion, his ambition, and the legacy he wrought—one that has lasted decades longer than his career did. Danny Goldberg explores what it is about Kurt Cobain that still resonates today, even with a generation who wasn’t alive until after Kurt’s death. In the process, he provides a portrait of an icon unlike any that has come before.

Book Description
Sometimes people lose sight of the core of their ministry. They feel overwhelmed by the needs that surround them on a daily basis. Wise and beloved pastor Warren Wiersbe invites ministry leaders to listen in on thirty short "armchair chats" to encourage and strengthen them for service. He shares what he wishes he had known about ministering to others when he began his own Christian pilgrimage. "Ministry," he says, "takes place when divine resources meet human needs through loving channels to the glory of God." With this new edition of a classic book, which includes a foreword by Jim Cymbala, the next generation of ministry leaders can take advantage of Wiersbe's years of wisdom.

Book Description
Duane Elmer asked people around the world how they felt about Western missionaries. The response? "Missionaries could be more effective if they did not think they were better than us." The last thing we want to do in cross-cultural ministry is to offend people in other cultures. Unfortunately, all too often and even though we don't mean it, our actions communicate superiority, paternalism, imperialism and arrogance. Our best intentions become unintentional insults. How can we minister in ways that are received as true Christlike service? Cross-cultural specialist Duane Elmer gives Christians practical advice for serving other cultures with sensitivity and humility. With careful biblical exposition and keen cross-cultural awareness, he shows how our actions and attitudes often contradict and offend the local culture. He offers principles and guidance for avoiding misunderstandings and building relationships in ways that honor others. Here is culturally-savvy insight into how we can follow Jesus' steps to become global servants. Whether you're going on your first short-term mission trip or ministering overseas for extended periods, this useful guide is essential reading for anyone who wants to serve effectively in international settings with grace and sensitivity.

Book Description
The public does not view the minister’s wife as a woman with the same feelings as the other women who are married. A minister’s wife is not supposed to show that he has frailties or feelings or that she can fail to uphold her responsibilities to her household, her husband and her family, and, definitely, not the church. The minister’s wife is not to show her emotions as other women do. She has to remain true to the cause without breakdown and not be discouraged with all the negatives that are tossed her way, especially when it involves her children. Yet she is to handle all things as a Christian regardless of how much she has to endure. The responsibility is not the church members, society, or family. Some of the responsibility lies with the woman that serves the servant of God. She is so filled with responsibilities of doing the right thing that she forgets who she is and her role to the man she is married to. She is so occupied with the role of the minister’s wife that she forgets that she has a role more rewarding and more important—that is, serving the servant and being responsible to herself and for her own soul.

Book Description
Il venticinquesimo anniversario della morte di Kurt Cobain. Una nuova prospettiva su una delle icone del nostro tempo. L’unico libro scritto da qualcuno che lo conosceva. All’inizio del 1991, il famoso manager musicale Danny Goldberg accettò nella sua scuderia i Nirvana, una nuova band acclamata dalla scena musicale underground di Seattle. Non aveva idea che il leader della band, Kurt Cobain, sarebbe diventato un’icona della cultura pop e del mondo della musica, e che la sua fama avrebbe eguagliato quella di John Lennon, Michael Jackson o Elvis Presley. Danny ha lavorato con Kurt dal 1990 al 1994, il periodo più importante della vita di Cobain. Questi anni fondamentali hanno visto il successo stratosferico di Nevermind, l’album che ha trasformato i Nirvana nella rock band di maggior successo al mondo e reso noti a tutti termini come grunge; l’incontro e il matrimonio di Kurt con la brillante ma volubile Courtney Love e la nascita della loro figlia, Frances Bean; e, infine, la lotta pubblica di Kurt contro la dipendenza, che si concluse con un suicidio devastante che avrebbe cambiato per sempre la storia del rock. Per tutto il tempo, Danny, manager e amico intimo di Kurt, si schierò dalla sua parte. Attingendo ai ricordi personali di Goldberg, a documenti mai resi pubblici e a interviste con i familiari, gli amici e gli ex compagni di Kurt, Serving the Servant Ricordando Kurt Cobain, dal titolo di uno dei pezzi più iconici e famosi, getta una luce completamente nuova su questi anni critici senza indugiare sulla comune ossessione per l’angoscia e la depressione che apparentemente guidavano Kurt. Questo libro si concentra invece sul suo genio, la sua compassione, la sua ambizione e l’eredità che ha lasciato e che dura da decenni, un tempo ben più lungo della sua stessa carriera. Danny Goldberg esplora ciò che su Kurt Cobain risuona ancora oggi, anche per una generazione che non era ancora nata al momento della sua morte. E nel farlo, ci offre il ritratto di un’icona indimenticabile.

Book Description
A comienzos de 1991, el mánager musical Danny Goldberg aceptó hacerse cargo de Nirvana, uno de los muchos grupos de rock de la escena musical "underground" de Seattle. En ese momento, Danny no tenía ni idea de que el líder de la banda, Kurt Cobain, se convertiría en un icono de la cultura popular con un legado a la altura del de John Lennon o Elvis Presley. Danny trabajó con Kurt entre 1990 y 1994, los últimos cuatro años de vida del cantante. Fue testigo del éxito estratosférico de "Nevermind", que convirtió a Nirvana en la banda de rock más célebre del momento; asistió al encuentro y posterior boda de Kurt con la inestable pero brillante Courtney Love; al nacimiento de su hija, Frances Bean y, finalmente, a la lucha de Kurt contra la adicción a la heroína, que acabó en un devastador suicidio. Danny Goldberg ofrece en "Recordando a Kurt Cobain" un retrato del líder de Nirvana único e incomparable, solo al alcance de alguien que lo trató como productor, compañero y amigo íntimo. Goldberg resucita recuerdos no publicados hasta la fecha, indaga en sus archivos personales y recupera entrevistas a familiares, amigos y compañeros de banda, para explorar la inmensa creatividad y brillantez que Kurt Cobain proyectó sobre su música, la increíble mezcla de compasión, rebeldía, feminismo y ambición que reunía, y el legado que forjó con su particular visión del punk-rock.
