Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jim DeVries, a successful entrepreneur, and Rick Sessoms, an acknowledged leadership educator, join together to challenge existing and potential leaders to impact our culture for Christ. By encouraging others to accept a call to serve in the workplace, they can serve as salt and light starting each Monday, affecting all areas of culture. Jim and Rick begin by showing how mistaken beliefs have devalued everyday work as a means of serving God. While telling the stories of their journey to become leaders, they provide living examples of how God developed them into successful leaders. They share their mistakes, the obstacles they faced, and the valley and mountaintop experiences God shepherded them through. All leading to a new understanding of God's view of success and significance. They give examples of building a healthy culture within an organization and common mistakes that a leader will make to damage it.Don't expect a book that teaches techniques to help you climb the ladder of success. Instead, it shows how you can develop as a genuine leader interested in helping your followers develop as new leaders. You will learn that others will gladly follow you not because you are perfect but because you strive to keep your beliefs, words, and actions in harmony. The book has four parts: God's call to work and leadership; One Leader's Journey; Creating a healthy culture; and Caution and encouragement. Three additional sections are: Learning to communicate responsibly, Learning from Jesus, the master communicator, and Learning effective lay leadership in the church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If a leader is a Christian, what difference does it make?" Giant strides have been made in secular leadership theory toward a Christian viewpoint. Priority is now given to character as well as competence, accountability as well as power, transformation as well as transaction, and servanthood as well as success. But these qualities apply to secular as well as to Christian leadership. So, the question remains, "What difference does it make?" David McKenna finds the answer in the Incarnation of Jesus Christ--a divine act for him and a defining attitude for us. Philippians 2:11-15 sets the standard and gives the details. "Your attitude should be the same as Jesus Christ" means following his call to the cross, where we die to self and sacrifice all self-interest in position, power, and prestige in order to serve obediently, faithfully, and humbly for the good of others and the glory of God. Christ-centered leadership is not an extension of the highest and best of human leadership. Radical obedience to the call of Christ and utter dependence upon the Holy Spirit make a substantive difference. In the most practical terms, Incarnation continues in us when we live fully, lead freely, and go where he wants us to go.

Book excerpt: Find God’s vision for your job. Reclaim God’s vision for your life. Many Christians fall victim to one of two main problems when it comes to work: either they are idle in their work, or they have made an idol of it. Both of these mindsets are deadly misunderstandings of how God intends for us to think about our employment. In The Gospel at Work, Sebastian Traeger and Greg Gilbert unpack the powerful ways in which the gospel can transform how we do what we do, releasing us from the cultural pressures of both an all-consuming devotion and a punch-in, punch-out mentality—in order to find the freedom of a work ethic rooted in serving Christ. You’ll find answers to some of the tough questions that Christians in the workplace often ask: What factors should matter most in choosing a job? What gospel principles should shape my thinking about how to treat my boss, my co-workers, and my employees? Is full-time Christian work more valuable than my job? Is it okay to be motivated by money? How do you prioritize—or balance—work, family and church responsibilities? Solidly grounded in the gospel, The Gospel at Work confronts both our idleness at work and our idolatry of work with a challenge of its own—to remember that whom we work for is infinitely more important than what we do.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eighty percent of the world's people--including seventy percent of Americans--are storycentric communicators; that is, they prefer to learn and are most likely to be influenced through stories, pictures, drama, and music rather than through reading and writing. Yet more than ninety percent of Christian workers communicate through a highly literacy-based approach. This disconnect overlooks a primary method of Jesus himself in the preparation of leaders and impedes the effective cultivation of leaders in the growing global church. Through engaging stories, biblical insights, leadership research, field-tested methods, and practical models of effective leadership development, Leading with Story offers unique solutions that will inspire and challenge any who want to raise up or to be raised up as Christ-centered leaders in this storycentric generation.
