Book Description
It seems to be hard-wired into our human DNA, doesn't it? The quest for influence and impact drives us. We long for the right platform to serve from and all too often play the comparison game. Then we begin to blame our perceived lack of greatness on other people and circumstances. Some elder or church lady doesn't respect me enough. The people are anti-vision. I must have some deep hidden sin in my life. If I had more money, a bigger building, and a winning smile, it would be easy for me, too! Maybe our definition of greatness isn't what it should be. Maybe we are looking too much at what we think, and not enough at what God's view of greatness is. You have in your hands an honest look at what many of us have experienced in ministry and the journey we need to go on if we want to actually enjoy life. Come join Jason on his quest to lay all that down and be able to say, I am Not A Rock Star Pastor.

Worship Leaders, We Are Not Rock Stars
Author: Stephen Miller
Publisher: Moody Publishers
ISBN: 0802488722
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 106
Book Description
Why do you lead worship? Often the motives are mixed. You find yourself wanting to point people to Jesus but also feeling a desire to be noticed and praised, to make yourself the center of attention. Stephen Miller is the worship pastor for a large church of young, energetic Christians. He and his band record albums and lead worship for conferences all over the country. He knows the temptation to make himself the show, to pursue fame, to seek the applause of other people. And he has learned to want nothing to do with it. In this book, Miller exhorts his fellow worship leaders to make Jesus the center of all their efforts. He teaches how to do this with Scripture, teaching, prayer, story, and song. In all, Miller’s call for worship leaders is to lead worship, whole-hearted and whole-minded exalting of God, rather than making a spectacle out of it. Worship Leaders, We’re Not Rock Stars will encourage and challenge worship leaders by clarifying their purpose and identity, and by doing so will bless those they lead.

You Are Not a Rock
Author: Mark Freeman
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0525504516
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
Mental health is . . . being yourself. A prescriptive and positive guide, illustrated with line drawings, making the case that mental well-being, like physical health, can be strengthened over time and with specific techniques We all want to feel less anxiety, guilt, anger and sadness. We want to obsess less and be less lonely, free ourselves from our demons, compulsive habits, and stress. But as humans (unlike rocks) we experience all of these. And paradoxically, trying to avoid and control them only makes things worse. Having struggled with serious mental illness for many years himself, Mark Freeman has become a dedicated mental-health advocate and coach. He makes the case that instead of trying to feel less and avoid pain and stress, we need to build emotional fitness, especially our capacity for strength, balance and focus. With wit, compassion, and depth of experience and anecdotes, he shows that we can recover from many mental disorders, from mild to very serious, at all ages and stages of life, and even if other methods have failed. Freeman's innovative approach makes use of a range of therapeutic techniques, mindfulness training, peer support, humor, and common sense.

Infosec Rock Star
Author: Ted Demopoulos
Publisher: Morgan James Publishing
ISBN: 1683504836
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
Have you noticed that some people in infosec simply have more success than others, however they may define success? Some people are simply more listened too, more prominent, make more of a difference, have more flexibility with work, more freedom, choices of the best projects, and yes, make more money. They are not just lucky. They make their luck. The most successful are not necessarily the most technical, although technical or "geek" skills are essential. They are an absolute must, and we naturally build technical skills through experience. They are essential, but not for Rock Star level success. The most successful, the Infosec Rock Stars, have a slew of other equally valuable skills, ones most people never develop nor even understand. They include skills such as self direction, communication, business understanding, leadership, time management, project management, influence, negotiation, results orientation, and lots more . . . Infosec Rock Star will start you on your journey of mastering these skills and the journey of moving toward Rock Star status and all its benefits. Maybe you think you can’t be a Rock Star, but everyone can MOVE towards it and reap the benefits of vastly increased success. Remember, “Geek” will only get you so far . . .
