Big Trouble Ahead
$19.99
The church in America is being shaken like never before, from rampant deception and lawlessness to intense cultural pressures to conform and compromise. Pastor Allen Jackson reveals a biblical perspective on the events unfolding in our nation, and shows readers how they can hold onto hope and flourish, even in the midst of the shaking.
There’s big trouble ahead–in fact, it’s already here. Christians today live in a reality that is defined by a steady cultural drift toward blatant immorality and disregard for truth. The economic and social instability of the past couple of years–not to mention the fear and confusion brought on by the global pandemic–have simply added to the atmosphere of uncertainty.
But Jackson has an urgent message of hope: even in a time of shaking, God’s kingdom remains unshakeable and his church will be empowered to prevail–if Christians can take hold of the fundamental truths of the gospel and decipher the gathering storm clouds (as well as the news headlines) through the lens of Scripture. In Big Trouble Ahead, readers will:
*be encouraged that nothing–whether pandemics or climate change or political and social conflicts–can separate them from God’s love and involvement in this generation;
*be reminded of God’s abiding concern for their lives and the authority they have in Jesus;
*learn how to view current events and today’s biggest controversies through the lens of a biblical perspective; and
*develop a battleplan for countering the barrage of deception that’s trying to rob them of their confidence and stability in Christ.
Whatever trials or challenges life may bring, Big Trouble Ahead is sure to bring reassurance and renewed courage, rooted firmly in God’s presence, goodness, and his message of unchanging hope in the gospel.

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
