Peter Effect : Rock Solid Faith
$16.49
Look for God in your life today! See where you are when you see Him. Think about who you are with when you see Him. What are you doing when you see Him? The challenge may be to see where you are when you hear His voice. Who are you with when you hear His voice? What are you doing when you hear His voice?
Ryan Keim experienced a terrifying event: being first on the scene of a dreadful car wreck that he and his children might easily have been part of. Looking back, he examines his feelings and reactions to the incident with the perspective of what he has learned from the faith of the apostle Peter as described in Matthew 14-the story of Jesus walking on water.
Peter stepped out in confidence and in trust; he had complete faith in God’s ability to allow him to walk to Him on water.
But the world intruded, as the world so often does. The frantic pace of today’s life makes it hard to slow down and actually see, though doing so, Keim explains, is critical to a believer’s successful life.
Peter slowed down to understand what was going on around him. If this mindset change had not happened, he would have drowned, swam back to the boat, or even cried out to the others for their help…Although he allowed the world around him to come back into his mind for a split second, he still cried out to Jesus…He cried out for Him, and like always, Jesus was there reaching out to help His child.
The nature of Peter’s faith in this story is an example of the Christian life. Ryan Keim has been where Peter was. Everyone, at some point, has been. Maintain focus on God, The Peter Effect declares, always.

Problem Of Pain
$17.99Add to cartFor centuries Christians have been tormented by one question above all — If God is good and all-powerful, why does he allow his creatures to suffer pain? C. S. Lewis sets out to disentangle this knotty issue but wisely adds that in the end no intellectual solution can dispense with the necessity for patience and courage.

Great By Choice
$29.99Add to cartThe new question
Ten years after the worldwide bestseller Good to Great, Jim Collins returns with another groundbreaking work, this time to ask: Why do some companies thrive in uncertainty, even chaos, and others do not? Based on nine years of research, buttressed by rigorous analysis and infused with engaging stories, Collins and his colleague, Morten Hansen, enumerate the principles for building a truly great enterprise in unpredictable, tumultuous, and fast-moving times.The new study
Great by Choice distinguishes itself from Collins’s prior work by its focus not just on performance, but also on the type of unstable environments faced by leaders today.With a team of more than twenty researchers, Collins and Hansen studied companies that rose to greatness-beating their industry indexes by a minimum of ten times over fifteen years-in environments characterized by big forces and rapid shifts that leaders could not predict or control. The research team then contrasted these “10X companies” to a carefully selected set of comparison companies that failed to achieve greatness in similarly extreme environments.
The new findings
The study results were full of provocative surprises. Such as:The best leaders were not more risk taking, more visionary, and more creative than the comparisons; they were more disciplined, more empirical, and more paranoid.
Innovation by itself turns out not to be the trump card in a chaotic and uncertain world; more important is the ability to scale innovation, to blend creativity with discipline.
Following the belief that leading in a “fast world” always requires “fast decisions” and “fast action” is a good way to get killed.
The great companies changed less in reaction to a radically changing world than the comparison companies.
The authors challenge conventional wisdom with thought-provoking, sticky, and supremely practical concepts. They include: 10Xers; the 20 Mile March; Fire Bullets, Then Cannonballs; Leading above the Death Line; Zoom Out, Then Zoom In; and the SMaC Recipe.Finally, in the last chapter, Collins and Hansen present their most provocative and original analysis: defining, quantifying, and studying the role of luck. The great companies and the leaders who built them were not luckier than the comparisons, but they did get a higher Return on Luck.
This book is classic Collins: contrarian, data-driven, and uplifting. He and Hansen show convincingly that, even in a chaotic and uncer
