The Flip Side: Break Free of the Behaviors
That Hold You BackIs
On
By Flip Flippen
Great advice for everyone, but particularly
appealing to those who are taking stock of
what they want to do with the
rest of their lives, Flippen's approach is
surprisingly simple. When we learn how to
identify our "personal constraints" and take
the necessary steps to correct self-limiting
behaviors, we will experience a dramatic
surge in productivity, achieve
things we have only dreamed of, and find
greater happiness overall. |

The MulliganIs
On
By Wally Armstrong & Ken Blanchard
In golf lingo,

chance! Packed with wisdom and down-to-earth

revisit your life's most important
"shots," take another crack at those you've
flubbed, and remember what it means to play
a good game. |

The Great Omission
Is On
By Dallas Willard
The last command Jesus gave before he ascended to heaven was the Great
Commission, the call to "make disciples of all the nations." But Christians have
responded by making "Christians," not "disciples." This, according to renowned
Christian thinker Dallas Willard, has been the church's Great Omission. Drawing
upon previously published articles from magazines such as Christianity Today
and Leadership Journal as well as remarks given at various conferences,
Willard challenges the thought that we can be Christians without being
disciples. He calls on believers to restore what should be the heart of
Christianity - being active disciples of Jesus Christ.

Revolution
Is On
By George Barna
World-renowned pollster George Barna has the numbers, and they indicate a
revolution is already taking place within the Church - one that will impact
every believer in America. Committed, born-again Christians are exiting the
established church in massive numbers. Why are they leaving? Where are they
going? And what does this mean for the future of the Church? Using years' worth
of research data, and adhering to an unwavering biblical perspective, Barna
predicts how this revolution will impact the organized church, how Christ's body
of believers should react, and how individuals who are considering leaving (or
those who have already left) can respond. |

Choose the Life
By Bill Hull / Baker
In Choose the Life, discipleship expert Bill Hull breaks new ground, challenging what we've made of the gospel. He believes that the Great Commission has more to do with spiritual depth than strategies and structures. Jesus is calling us to choose the life of thinking as he thought, living as he lived, loving as he loved, ministering as he ministered and leading as he led. Anything less is Christ-less Christianity.

Scoring in the Red Zone: How to Lead Successfully When the Pressure Is On
By Spencer Tillman / Thomas Nelson / W
In football, the "red zone" is the twenty yards leading up to an opponent's goal line - fiercely defended turf where the pressure is intense and options for maneuvering are few. In business, scoring in the red zone is just as intense, and in order to succeed, you need to focus on preparation and execution. In Scoring in the Red Zone, former NFL player and current CBS sports commentator Spencer Tillman helps you determine where your business is, where you would like it to go, and how to triumph over your competition.
