Family: Win at Home First

By Cory M. Carlson

Many of us focus on winning at work. Whether it is from our own fear or the expectations of others, we put pressure on ourselves to succeed. Then, with whatever time and energy is left, we give to our family and to ourselves. In the end, no one wins. Marriages suffer, kids are neglected, teams are not developed, and you are not fulfilled.

There is a better way. You, your home, and your work can thrive. This book will help you discover how to:
• Craft a personal and family vision
• Achieve work/rest balance
• Have a close marriage of fun and intimacy
• Build into your kids to set them up for success in life
• Prioritize for even greater impact at work
• Equip and empower your employees

Succeeding at work doesn’t mean you have to fail at home. You can do both. Here’s how.

By Cory M. Carlson

• Focus on gratitude each day
• Be more intentional with your leadership
• Become more confident and consistent
• Use Scripture to overcome your self-limiting beliefs
• Mark and remember moments when God has provided for you

All leaders get knocked down. However, great leaders get back up more quickly and move forward with what God is calling them to do. There’s no time to waste.

It’s time for us to rise and go.

Family: Raising a Modern Day Knight

By Robert Lewis

The medieval custom of knighthood offers a unique approach to shaping a boy into a strong, godly man.

Finance: The Treasure Principle

By Randy Alcorn

Jesus spent more time talking about money and possessions than about heaven and hell combined. But too often we’ve overlooked or misunderstood his most profound teaching on this topic, from his words in Matthew 6. Jesus offers us life-changing investment advice.

We can’t take it with us—but we can send it on ahead!

Faith: Wild at Heart

By John Elderedge

In this updated and expanded edition of the timeless, bestselling classic, John Eldredge calls men—and the women who love them—to discover the true secret of a man’s soul and embrace the danger, passion, and freedom God intended for every man.

Faith: The 9 Arts of Spiritual Conversations

By Mary Schaller & John Crilly

It can feel scary, awkward, and uncomfortable as we try to navigate loaded questions and different perspectives. Even the most faithful of believers sometimes get stumped.

And it’s what you can do too.

The 9 Arts of Spiritual Conversations offers simple practices to help you build relationships with people who believe differently. You won’t want to miss this book on creating a safe space to have natural, loving, and spiritual conversations with others.
