Bleedership, Biblical First Aid for Leaders - a book that combines biblical principles with leadership skills. Wounds, cuts, and bruises abound wherever you find uninspired employees, a fearful staff, or a company or organization in disarray from the top down. Bleedership delivers the right medicine and the sure cure when leadership falls short.

One of the few constants in life is change. Our lives are so unpredictable. Jobs are lost. Health falters. Loved ones pass away. Relationships get rocky. Stress comes like a tidal wave. Being a follower of Jesus doesn’t necessarily make it easier. In fact, He told us we’d have trouble in this life: "In this world you will have trouble"...that means all of us. Guaranteed. While Jesus didn’t leave us without hope, trouble often brings with it a lack of peace. We become prisoners to worry, anxiety and fear. Thankfully, Jesus didn’t stop there. We C be free.

When the science conversation collides with the faith conversation, there is opportunity to bring spiritual growth. However, when one chooses to define trauma, the spiritual component of how trauma is internalized must be a part of the conversation. When trauma collides with faith, soul injury happens.

The market is flooded with books, conferences, and workshops on how to be a better leader. In most companies, leaders are noticed and applauded while followers are often viewed as weak and passive. However, Scripture tells us a different story; although leadership is valued and respected, being obedient followers of Christ is at the very heart of faith. In The Call to Follow, Richard Langer and Joanne J. Jung teach listeners that "followership" is essential to both organizational and spiritual flourishing.

This true story is for anyone whose plans have veered alarmingly off-piste. It will make you laugh. It might also make you cry. Jennifer Gardner quickly discovers that going to Hong Kong to live a beautiful and rich new expatriate life is, as the Chinese proverb says, like looking for ivory in a dog's mouth. Her new home, unlike those of her favorite authors, is not Tuscany or Provence. Neither is it toddler-free. She should have seen it coming, really. Enduring extreme heat, isolation, and strange expatriates turns out as easy as a snake trying to swallow an elephant.

For years I have tried to make sense of Bible end-time prophecy, but had not been able to join all the dots together. Some ideas seemed to fit together while others made no sense at all. What made things so confusing was that the church had many different opinions concerning end times. Why were/are there so many different opinions? Why can't church leaders give us a "Thus saith the Lord" on the subject? Is God keeping the truth from us for some unknown reason or do you need a PhD in theology?

In a world with competing narratives seeking to tell us who we are—fake news, social agendas, political ideologies—we need to be anchored to the Creator’s story. This book reminds us of the importance of daily connecting to God’s story and how we fit into His story. It comes out of my own daily struggles in sanctification and the victory that comes as we realize God’s grace is applied to our sanctification just as it is applied to our salvation.

Through the transformational, real-life journey of a suburban family in Tennessee, we get a view through the eyes of a loving father witnessing his once joyful and carefree daughter enduring a season of destructive rebellion. In the same neighborhood, a Rwandan family, who immigrated to America after escaping the genocide in Rwanda in 1994, seeks answers to questions about their home country. In a search for restoration and reconciliation, the two families find themselves halfway around the world in Murambi, Rwanda.
