Today Is A Verb
$16.99
None of us knows how long we have on this earth. Sometimes, the days seem to pass by with little importance; at other times, we might feel overwhelmed by our experiences, whether they bring us happiness or sorrow. In the end, however, we allow our days and years to march on.
But what if we intentionally view each today as a gift from God? What if we considered today as a verb, an action that we can use right now?
In Today Is a Verb: Open the Gift of Now in Every Ordinary Moment, author Carol McLeod asks us to grab hold of God’s endless gift of time–past, present, and future–and make the most of every moment and every minute. For this gift from God is truly as boundless as the ocean. The act of living can bring us joy if we seek to listen to God, read His Word, and pray for the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Today Is a Verb can propel us to our destiny, to God’s desire for us. As Carol explains, each moment can be something profound, purposeful, and precious. We can choose each day to pray, to serve, to hope, to trust, to overcome–the possibilities are endless.
Today Is a Verb can be read as a thirty-day devotional or as a way to revolutionize your life. Each chapter includes a life quote, a verse from Scripture, a practical application, and a daily declaration.
“This dimension of godly living…is not for the faint of heart but for all of those who have determined their lives will smack of the atmosphere of heaven,” Carol says.
“If you have been thirsty for a joy that is foreign to your personality and seems to be only a mirage in the desert of life, I hope this scintillating philosophy will stir up what has been lacking in your life,” she says. “Perhaps, with me, you would be brave enough to determine to take at least one vibrant step toward the life for which you have been aching.”

No matter where we are on our path of discipleship, he offers encouragement to shed the limitations of fear, shame, and doubt through complete reliance upon God.

Great By Choice
$29.99The 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
