Who Is Your God
$14.99
A study on the “Names of God” was birthed in my heart about five years ago. In the fall of 2000, God let me know through prayer that I needed to get the study done and to put it in book form. Philippians 4:13: “I can do everything through him who gives me strength,” NIV. I was totally dependent upon God for His direction for this project. I am a mother of four children-one has been promoted to heaven. I have been in full-time ministry with my husband, Ron, for thirty years. With the challenges of being a pastor’s wife and having two special needs children to care for, God has truly become my dearest friend. When praying for further direction for this project, I felt I was to tell my story. I do not have an extra special story, but I did learn how to put each of the 355 names of God to work in my daily life. God let me know this study, and my experiences, were to help others deal with sickness and death, and to help people with special needs children or friends. Each one of the names of God, or His characteristics, became my encouragement and my source of strength to face each day. I have searched out 355 “Names of God” with Bible references and verses, and with Webster’s Seventh New Collegiate definitions. I will be the first to admit there could be more “Names of God”. God is not limited to just these names-He’s limitless! I have had to lean on God for so much that each one of the “Names of God” has become part of my life.

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
