-Titulo Original : Evangelism How To Share The Gospel Faithfully (macarthur Pastors Library)-Fabricante : Thomas Nelson-Descripcion Original: Paul’s challenge to Timothy 2,000 years ago remains a clarion call for pastors today: “Do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry” (2 Tim 4:5). Because evangelism is the central work of a Christian’s life, there is a great need for pastors to understand what evangelism is and what makes it effective. Much of modern evangelical culture has become memorized conversations, pre-packaged formulas, and programmatic approaches that serve as poor substitutes for the simple proclamation of the gospel. In Evangelism: How to Share the Gospel Faithfully, John MacArthur along with pastors, missionaries, and church planters from Grace Community Church give the summons to return to the basics. Evangelism covers four primary topics Theological presuppositions and biblical foundations of evangelism Evangelism from a pastoral perspective One-on-one witnessing How outreach fits into and shapes the activities of the local church You’ll learn theological principles of sharing the gospel and practical approaches to incorporating outreach into your life, including specialized areas, like Sharing the gospel with children and youth Witnessing to those with special needs Working with people suffering from addiction Immigrant outreach International missions There is an urgent need for the gospel in today’s fallen world. This insightful guide to biblical evangelism will ignite your passion and equip you to spread the gospel faithfully from your pulpit, in your church, and within your community. About the Author Widely known for his thorough, candid approach to teaching Gods Word, John MacArthur is a popular author and conference speaker and has served as pastor-teacher of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California, since 1969. John and his wife, Patricia, have four grown children and fourteen grandchildren. John’s pulpit ministry has been extended around the globe through his media ministry, Grace to You, and its satellite offices in seven countries.

Everywhere we go, everywhere we look, someone is trying to get our attention. Every politician, advertiser, journalist, family member, and acquaintance has something to say to us. Every day we are faced with e-mails, text messages, billboards, television, movies, radio, Twitter, , and blogs. Add to these newspapers, magazines, and books. Our world is cluttered with words. How do we choose which messages to tune in and which ones to tune out? At the same time, we also have messages we want to get across to others. Ive read that, on average, most people speak about sixteen thousand words a day. If you transcribed those words, theyd fill a three-hundred-page book every week. At the end of a year, you would have an entire bookcase full of words. In a lifetime, youd fill a library. But how many of your words would matter? How many would make a difference? How many would get through to others? Talk is easy. Everybody talks. The question is, how can you make your words count? How can you really communicate with others? Connecting Can Make You or Break You People cannot succeed in life without communicating effectively. Its not enough just to work hard. Its not enough to do a great job. To be successful, you need to learn how to really communicate with others. Have you ever gotten frustrated while making a presentation because people just werent getting it? Have you ever wanted your boss to understand how much value you add to the company so you could get a well-earned raise or promotion? If you have children, have you wanted them to listen so you could help them make good choices? Have you wanted to improve your relationship with a friend or make a positive impact on your community? If you cant find a way to communicate effectively, you wont be able to reach your potential, you wont succeed in the way you desire, and youll be forever frustrated. Whats the secret? Connecting! After more than forty years of marriage, a long and successful career as a public speaker, decades of leading various organizations, and experience in helping people develop across the United States and in dozens of countries around the world, I can tell you this: if you want to succeed, you must learn how to connect with others. Connecting Is Key I am convinced more than ever t...

-Titulo Original : Leadership Gold Lessons Ive Learned From A Lifetime Of Leading-Fabricante : Thomas Nelson-Descripcion Original: From Publishers Weekly Maxwell (the bestselling The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership) shares 26 nuggets of wisdom based on his nearly 40 years of leadership. A practical guide, complete with exercises and mentoring moments, this collection offers a blend of advice, professional wisdom and personal recollection. Each chapter provides insight into a specific aspect of effective management. Some, such as The Best Leaders Are Listeners and Keep Learning to Keep Leading, are hardly groundbreaking, but others such as Dont Send Your Ducks to Eagle School (a phrase borrowed from Jim Rohn) and For Everything You Gain, You Give Up Something provide perspective into less-explored facets of successful leadership. Maxwell also covers some of the more challenging aspects of his topic: defining personal success, guarding against unrealistic thinking and determining why people quit. Throughout, Maxwell includes call-out quotes from well-known leaders such as Jack Welch and Frances Hesselbein as well as from surprising voices like J.K. Rowling and Joyce Brothers. A solid addition to a crowded field, this book will be of value to seasoned leaders as well as those just starting out. (Apr.) Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Leadership Gold took leadership guru John C. Maxwell a lifetime to write, and it delivers his most valuable lessons from forty years of leading.A leader among leaders, John Maxwell promised himself early in his career that he wouldnt write this book until he was sixty. And now its finally here. Leadership Gold took Maxwell a lifetime to write, and it delivers his most valuable lessons from forty years of leading. With his signature style, Maxwell comes alongside like a mentor, candidly taking readers through what feels like a one-on-one leadership program. Leadership Gold offers the best of the best, the tried-and-true lessons that no one but Maxwell can share. From Booklist Depending on individual calendars, there’s a leadership lesson to be learned every seven days-or biweekly. Based on the recommendations of Maxwell-consultant, trainer, speaker, author (The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, 1998, is his most recent best-seller)-each chapter contains enough information to ponder its implications solo or in concert with team members. The 26 chapter headings, as to be expected, are provocative and thought-inducing, supported by application exercises (usually, in question form) and “mentoring moments,” suggestions for using this in groups. Just ruminate on these statements: “Never work a day in your life.” “You get answers only to the questions you ask.” “Keep learning to keep leading.” “People quit people, not companies.” Almost every heading can be buttressed by recent research, news, even books; as one example, there’s no secret about employees’ major reason to change jobs: their immediate manager. Enjoy, and consider, this collection of lessons. --Barbara Jacobs About the Author John C. Maxwell is an internationally recognized leadership expert, speaker, and author who has sold over 13 million books. His organizations have trained more than 2 million leaders worldwide.

What are these things and what do they have to do with Warren Buffett? The answer is everything.If the vast majority of the stock market were not short-sighted, Warren Buffett would never have an opportunity to buy some of the worlds greatest businesses at discount prices. He could never have bought 1.7 million shares of The Washington Post twenty-seven years ago for approximately $6.14 a share. The Washington Post now trades at approximately $500 a share, which makes his $10.2 million initial investment worth approximately $863.8 million today. That equates to a pretax annual compounding rate of return of 17.8%. Without the short-sightedness of the stock market, Warren could not have bought Coca-Cola for $5.22 a share twelve years ago. It now trades at approximately $50 a share, which equates to a pretax annual compounding rate of return of approximately 21%.Warren discovered early on in his career that 95% of the participants in the stock market, from Internet day traders to mutual fund managers who manage billions, are only interested...

S. Lewis.The First World War laid waste to a continent and brought about the end of innocence-and the end of faith. Unlike a generation of young writers who lost faith in the God of the Bible, however, J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis found that the Great War deepened their spiritual quest. Both men served as soldiers on the Western Front, survived the trenches, and used the experience of that conflict to ignite their Christian imagination.Tolkien and Lewis produced epic stories infused with the themes of guilt and grace, sorrow and consolation. Giving an unabashedly Christian vision of hope in a world tortured by doubt and disillusionment, the two writers created works that changed the course of literature and shaped the faith of millions. This is the first book to explore their work in light of the spiritual crisis sparked by the conflict.
