Confronting Sacred Inequalities
$22.99Why do women often struggle to thrive in Christian workplaces?
Prominent male Christian leaders are often called to account for improper behavior with women in their organizations. There are certainly a few bad actors, but is something systemically amiss in Christian organizations?
In Confronting Sacred Inequalities, Leanne Dzubinski shows how secular inequalities have been imported into Christian spaces and treated as sacred. Beliefs about women that don’t align with Scripture and God’s view of women have too often been promoted as biblical. She identifies five pitfalls that often occur in Christian organizations that make it difficult for women to flourish:
*”Sex and the office” An undue focus on sexuality
*”Hey, guys!” Language that marginalizes women
*”I can’t; I have to work” Assumptions about work culture that leave women feeling like they constantly fall short
*”Are you sure that’s right?” Ambivalence toward women
*”There are no good women leaders” Cultural and Christian stereotypes that frame leadership as male
Dzubinski explains how organizational dysfunction is often caused by systems that prioritize men over women in ways that are detrimental to the organization as well as to the people in them–men and women alike. Each chapter offers scriptural perspectives and practical suggestions to help leaders create organizational cultures where everyone can flourish and work together as siblings in Christ.

Momentum : How To Avoid Going In The Wrong Direction
$15.99Momentum is magnetic. People want to be with, work with, and build relationships with people who have momentum. But what is it, exactly? Renowned author, speaker, consultant, and coach Sam Silverstein has the surprising answer.
Momentum is constant, conscious movement toward your goal that is in alignment with your purpose and mission.
This goal is always connected with what we are called to do in the service of others.
Have you ever experienced a person who makes constant, relentless advancement in everything they do? Someone who seemed to have boundless energy, endless resourcefulness, and lasting influence? Did you ever wonder how they made their success happen? Is there anywhere in your life where you feel bogged down, plateaued, or held back–where you wish you could follow their example, flip an invisible switch, and make great things happen fast?
You can…by harnessing the power of Momentum.
According to Silverstein, when we choose to live a life where anything is possible by taking on a “we-focused” mindset, we revolutionize the way we think and the results we achieve. We anchor our beliefs in the fundamental truth that literally any event is taking place for our benefit and the benefit of others. Our influence widens; our positive impact on the wider world accelerates and becomes increasingly impossible to ignore. That is Momentum. It is the cornerstone of a new way of thinking about ourselves, our relationships, and our world.
Silverstein’s energizing, accessible new work shows you how to master the art of creating Momentum. You will eliminate the possibility of getting stuck in a rut because of indecision, indifference, compliance, or fear.
In his simple but powerful step-by-step strategy, Silverstein shows you how to identify what you should be acting on and create continuous progress on your goals and in your life. You will attract others to your mission, and you will create transformative influence in the events you encounter and the lives of the people around you.

By The Grace Of God
$24.99From the small Zimbabwean village of Gandanzara, Bishop Eben K. Nhiwatiwa arose to be an inspiring episcopal leader in The United Methodist Church. Elected as a bishop in 2004, Bishop Nhiwatiwa led the Zimbabwe Area through many changes in the church, both locally and globally.
In his book By the Grace of God, the bishop takes the reader through his educational odyssey, winding through both Zimbabwe and the United States. He narrates with humor his introduction to the US and its very different customs. He inspires by telling the story of the remarkable series of events that led to his becoming an elected bishop.
This book also provides a succinct master class on the art and science of leadership. An avid reader and learner on the topic, Bishop Nhiwatiwa synthesizes his most important gleanings as a repertoire of leadership skills.
Bishop Nhiwatiwa became known as the “Chabadza Bishop,” advocating for true partnerships with churches and conferences in other parts of the world. Chabadza is a Shona word meaning “to give a helping hand to someone who is already working.” He strongly believes that people asking for help need to be active workers in the project for which they are asking for help or money. The bishop played a huge part in changing the idea of simply giving money, aiming to eliminate the dependency syndrome.
Bishop Nhiwatiwa believes that “life-changing events in my life took place, not because of my sustained goal to pursue a certain objective, but that by the grace of God, I am where I am today.” The United Methodist Church in the twenty-first century is richer for having had Bishop Nhiwatiwa’s leadership in this season.This book shares inspirational stories and pivotal moments that illustrate how these women managed the complexities of family, faith, and authority. Through their histories, women bishops have made–and will continue to make–both realized and unrealized differences in The United Methodist Church.

Cheer up, there’s no way out but through.

*Who knows who I really am? (The Transparency Question)
*What’s my definition of success? (The Vision Question)
*Do I have to do it all? (The Rest Question)
*Am I enjoying it?
