Gods Challenge For Dads
$20.95
Have you gotten comfortable–maybe even complacent–in your spiritual life? Maybe you can check off all the right boxes–going to church, reading your Bible, praying before meals. Maybe you even lead a small group or serve as a deacon and tithe regularly. But when was the last time someone really shook up your faith, really challenged you to get after it, to pursue God with your whole heart?
In this devotional written specifically for dads, Eric Ballard draws wisdom from the men written about in the Bible to push you out of your comfort zone and into a more authentic, whole-hearted relationship with God, which will lead to more meaningful relationships with your family, coworkers, and community. Each devotional includes a scripture, insight into the context and purpose of the passage, a brief prayer, and a challenge. Sometimes the challenges are external–simple ways to let your wife know you think she’s amazing or to make your children feel cared for. Sometimes they’re internal–like daring to let go of your own self-sufficiency and acknowledge you can’t do anything right without the Holy Spirit working through you.
Allow yourself to be pushed, stretched, and molded into the dad God has called you to be. Discover the Bible’s wisdom on everything from work struggles to parenting difficult kids to loving your wife well. Take an honest look at the idols you need to lay down, now. Look a little closer at how you think and talk about work. Discover what godly parenting really means.
Are you ready to accept God’s challenge? Your kids will be grown before you know it. Don’t wait another minute to become the dad God wants you to be.

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.
