Desiring God (Revised)
$18.95
Desiring God, a classic work on the pleasures of knowing and serving God, is now available in a more reader-friendly edition that includes a discussion guide – ideal for use in a church-wide emphasis or for small group study.
Desiring God, John Piper’s classic, enthusiastic explanation of Christian hedonism, bears the message that the great business of life is to “glorify God by enjoying Him forever.” Constantly drawing on Scripture to build his case, Piper shows why pursuing maximum joy is essential to glorifying God. He discusses the implications for this for conversion, worship, love, Scripture, prayer, money, marriage, missions, and suffering.
Desiring God is a paradigm-shattering work that dramatically alters common perspectives on what relating to God should look like. Piper reveals that there really is no need to choose between duty and delight in the Christian life. In fact for the follower of Jesus, delight is the duty. He concludes that Christ is most magnified in His people when they are most satisfied in him.

Boundaries For Leaders
$25.95Add to cartThe coauthor of the classic bestseller Boundaries, with over 2 million copies sold, and an expert on the psychology of business and leadership performance explains the behavioral reasons why some people get great results and others don’t.
In Boundaries for Leaders, Dr. Henry Cloud gives leaders the tools and techniques they need to achieve the performance they desire-in their organizations and in themselves. Drawing on the latest findings from neuroscience, Dr. Cloud shows why it’s critical for leaders to set the conditions that make people’s brains perform at their highest levels. How do great leaders do this? One way is through the creation of “boundaries”-structures that determine what will exist and what will not.
Here you will learn seven leadership boundaries that set the stage, tone, and culture for a results-driven organization, including how to
help people focus their attention on the things that matter most;
build the emotional climate that drives brain functioning;
facilitate connections that boost energy and momentum;
create organizational thought patterns that limit negativity and helplessness;
identify paths for people to take control of the activities that drive results;
create high-performance teams organized around the behaviors that drive results; and
lead yourself in a manner that protects the vision.The strong call to action in this book is that leaders are ridiculously in charge of all these elements, and they must own what they either create or allow to exist.
Filled with inspiring and practical examples from Dr. Cloud’s coaching practice, Boundaries for Leaders is essential reading for everyone who aspires to lead companies, teams, and cultures defined by high performance and healthy relationships.
