Successful leaders today don't dictate; they invite. They don't dismiss; they welcome. They don't neglect; they care. Now more than ever we must pay attention to the soft side of leadership if we want hard results. As leaders--from parents to CEOs--we must learn gracious leadership to truly, positively, change our spheres of influence. In this passionate, powerful book, pastor and leadership mentor Terry Smith fleshes out five vital principles you need to become a hospitable leader. He shows that this type of leadership is not superficial niceness or allowing people to do whatever they want. Hospitable leadership is result-oriented because it's motivated by genuine love. It's how you create environments where people and dreams can thrive, where vision turns to action, and where great things happen regularly. Here is everything you need to become the type of leader people want to follow.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER What do you do when God’s timing seems questionable, his lack of intervention hurtful, and his promises doubtful? Lysa TerKeurst unveils her heart amid shattering circumstances, inviting you to live assured when life doesn't turn out like you expected. Life often looks so very different than we hoped or expected. Some events may simply catch us off guard for a season, but others shatter us completely. We feel disappointed and disillusioned at best and overwhelmed and hopeless at worst. We quietly start to wonder about the reality of God’s goodness and why he allows us to suffer and experience grief and loss. Lysa TerKeurst understands this deeply. But after many tears, godly counseling, and prayerful seeking, she's also discovered that our disappointments can be the divine appointments our souls need to radically encounter God. In It's Not Supposed to Be This Way, Lysa invites us into her own journey of faith and, with grit, vulnerability, and honest humor, helps us to: Stop being pulled into the anxiety of disappointment by discovering how to better process unmet expectations and other painful situations. Train ourselves to recognize the three strategies of the enemy, so we can stand strong and persevere through unsettling relationships and uncertain outcomes. Discover the secret of being steadfast and not panicking when God actually does give us more than we can handle.

The Power of the Blood is worth reading! There is untapped power in the blood of Jesus! No devil can stand the blood that Jesus shed on Calvary. Our redemption in Christ Jesus is a function of the blood He shed for us. Each time you engage the mystery of the blood of Jesus in your life, sickness and disease can’t stand you. It is an error as a church to do away with the blood of Jesus, which Jesus Himself used to purchase His glorious Church. Any church that will do that has missed it and needs a lot of spiritual help. In this book, we are going to talk about the blood of Jesus, nothing else! We may have blood today in this world, but only the blood of Jesus is what matters. It is an enormous risk to be a child of God and know nothing about the blood of Jesus. There are some churches where the blood of Jesus never matters or gets mentioned. Pastors have stopped preaching about it! God forbid! It is scary and a reduction to the entire purpose of God’s divine plan of the blood. I believe it is time for you and me to revisit our spiritual foundations. The mystery behind the blood of Jesus dates back as far as the blood God shed in the Garden of Eden. When Adam and Eve sinned against God, they needed atonement for them to stand before God. Otherwise, there was no way they could have even spoken to Him (God). Instead, God killed an animal and used the blood to cover their spiritual nakedness. Then, He used the animal skin to cover their physical nakedness. Shedding blood for atonement was instituted by God in the Garden of Eden. It is non-negotiable! Get this book! You will scale greater heights of wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and spiritual growth in Christ Jesus!!
