Failing Forward : Turning Mistakes Into Stepping Stones For Success
$19.99Add to cartAre some people born to achieve anything they want while others struggle? Call them lucky, blessed, or possessors of the Midas touch. What is the real reason for their success? Is it family background, wealth, greater opportunities, high morals, an easy childhood?
John Maxwell has the answer—the difference between average people and achieving people is their perception of and response to failure.Most people are never prepared to deal with failure. Maxwell says that if you are like him, coming out of school, you feared it, misunderstood it, and ran away from it. But Maxwell learned to make failure his friend, and he can teach you to do the same.
“I want to help you learn how to confidently look the prospect of failure in the eye and move forward anyway,” says Maxwell. “Because in life, the question is not if you will have problems, but how you are going to deal with them. Stop failing backward and start failing forward!”

Balancing Work And Life
$13.99Add to cartLife is more like a marathon than a sprint. Here’s how to stay well conditioned.
Bill Butterworth will make you laugh-and learn while you’re doing it! In the opening chapter of this powerful little book, Bill shares with you how, while running his rotund body in a nightmarish 440-yard dash, he learned a great lesson:
Life is much more like a marathon than a sprint.The attitudes and actions that result in steady success over the long haul are what make for long-term satisfaction and achievement. To experience this for yourself, you need to understand how to deal with life’s inevitable challenges:
*The “Hazies”-losing sight of long-term goals
*The “Lazies”-lacking the self-discipline to bring life back into focus
*The “Crazies”-allowing life to run out of controlEach of these can be conquered by three “clarifying triangles:” setting clear priorities, learning the discipline of endurance, and reaching the finish line through skillful pacing. It all adds up to a succinct and inspiring guide to balancing excellence at work with fulfillment in all of life.

Joy At Work
$24.95Add to cartPRAISE FOR JOY AT WORK This is not your everyday leadership book about how to survive in the corporate jungle, or how to outfox the competition to build a bigger bank account. Dennis Bakke knows that business is not just about the bottom line. It’s about something much more important. “Work,” as Bakke explains, “is one of the ways we honor or ‘glorify’ God.” Today, joy and work are rarely used in the same sentence. But God really does intend for us to find joy in our work. Is this possible? Can this be accomplished in a fallen world? Dennis Bakke, a graduate of the Harvard Business School, wrestled with these questions when he cofounded AES, a worldwide energy giant, in 1981. Shaped by his faith, Bakke sets off on a quest to create the most fun workplace ever-using principles established in the Garden. In Joy At Work, Bakke describes how he empowered people to use their God-given talents free of needles bureaucracy, obliterated management, eliminated job descriptions, and pushed decision-making responsibility down to the plant floor. These principles extend beyond the walls of business, and can be applied to nonprofit organizations, churches and even your family. “The idea of creating a workplace in which everyone maximized his or her God-given potential and serves the community is a strong biblical principle. This book provides valuable ideas for leaders who wish to build or strengthen organizations using sound spiritual principles: service, integrity, and social responsibility. Dennis Bakke knows firsthand what it is to put these truths to work.” -Chuck Colson, Founder, Prison Fellowship Ministries

Relationships are at the heart of every positive human experience. From the moment of birth, relationships mark us – in our families, on the playground, at school, and in the workplace.
Maxwell, a master communicator and relational expert, makes learning about relationships accessible to everyone. The most sophisticated leaders and salespeople will pick up on skills that will make them even better. And relational novices will learn skills that can transform them into relational dynamos.
Maxwell’s secret is the people principles he teaches. Relationships work and build on five levels: Readiness, Connection, Trust, Investment, and Reward. On each level are principles that will change the way you view interpersonal relationships. Some are intuitive, such as the Mirror Principle: The first person we must examine is ourselves. Others may go against your instincts, such as the Confrontation Principle: Caring for people should precede confronting people. All of them are 100 percent practical!
Maxwell delves into issues that confront us in the workplace, at home, in church, at school – in short, anyplace you find people. And he reveals not only the benefits of developing healthy relationships, but how to actually do it. Working with others is the key to success in every area of life. As Maxwell says, “If you can win with people, you can win!”
