Cambios Necesarios – (Spanish)
$15.99In Necessary Endings, Dr. Cloud demonstrates that, when done well, ‘necessary endings’ allow us to stop pain, foster growth, reach personal and business goals, and live better lives. When done poorly though, good opportunities are lost, and misery either remains or is repeated. While we all face these kinds of endings daily, Dr. Cloud finds that most of us fall in the latter category and don’t handle endings very well—and we need help. In this new book, Dr. Cloud draws on years of experience as an executive coach and therapist and offers a mixture of advice and anecdotes—all delivered in Cloud’s characteristically warm and empathic voice—that will do several things to address this need:
*Bring awareness to the necessity of endings in life, similar to what Cloud did with his extremely popular Boundaries series.
*Normalize the concept so that you can see it as a regular part of life.
*Help you see the need for endings in all facets of life, both personal and professional. *Show you why you have not been able to negotiate endings well.
*Show you how to do it and make it go well.
*Cast a vision for a better future, one where the pain of being stuck has ended, and there is space for good things.
*Help you understand the process of endings so that you can metabolize the lessons and experience and thereby not repeat themKnowing when and how to let go when something isn’t working—whether it’s a career choice, business venture, or personal relationship—is essential for happiness and success. In Necessary Endings, Dr. Cloud gives you the tools you need to begin pruning the bad and the broken from your life so the good may begin growing again.

Beyond Talent : Become Someone Who Gets Extraordinary Results

Business For The Common Good

Scott B. Rae and Kenman L. Wong seek to explore this and other critical business issues from a uniquely Christian perspective, offering up a vision for work and service that is theologically grounded and practically oriented. Among the specific questions they address along the way are these:

What parts of business can be affirmed and practiced “as is” and what parts need to be rejected or transformed?
What challenges exist as attempts are made to live out Christian ideals in a broken world characterized by tight margins, fierce competition and short-term investor pressures?
How do Christian values inform specific functional areas of business such as the management of people, marketing and environmental sustainability?Business can be even more than an environment through which individual Christians grow in Christlikeness. In this book you’ll discover how it can also be a means toward serving the common good.

Great Commission Companies (Revised)
$29.99Business as mission has emerged as a significant new model for mission in the twenty-first century. Today’s globalized economy has created strategic opportunities for Christian business enterprises in some of the most unlikely corners of the world.

In an era where multinational corporations have global influence and impact, the Great Commission Company opens up new possibilities for missions-minded entrepreneurs and businesspeople who want to change the world to the glory of God.
This revised and expanded edition provides new and updated case studies of Great Commission Companies in diverse contexts around the world.

Equipping Laypeople For Transformational Workplace Ministry
$19.98Equipping Laypeople Many Christians fail to see their places of work as their most logical mission field, missing opportunities for both workplace ministry and evangelism. Those who do see their places of work as a mission field are making a tremendous difference where they work. Given the amount of hours typically spent working, the personal trials and dysfunctions many carry with them to work, as well as the poor working conditions of many American workers, there is a tremendous need for Christians to transform their places of work. Even though many pastors tell their church members to go out and reach people, they are not providing them with the necessary training to reach those in the workplace. There is a great need for laypeople to be built up, to be creative, and to live out their faith at work. Pastors have been given the ultimate privilege of equipping God’s people for service. Churches must be intentional about providing laypersons with the theological tools and practical information necessary to understand and effectively exercise workplace ministry. We must begin by accepting that all God’s people are placed in workplace ministry, and seek to know God’s original plan for work, as well as how to integrate work and faith. In EQUIPPING LAYPEOPLE FOR TRANSFORMATIONAL WORKPLACE MINISTRY, Caroloretta Tucker offers her Doctorate’s thesis research results to pastors and churches as a firm foundation for this effort.

Why Business Matters To God
$26.99Jeff Van Duzer grew up thinking business was the source of much damage and evil in the world, the work of greedy capitalists polluting the environment. Thirty years later he was dean of a business school. In the course of that remarkable transformation, Van Duzer found cause for both hope and concern. He discovered many business people achieving a great deal of good for society as well as a lot of illegal and unethical behavior. Along the way he found some who thought that merely being honest and kind was what made business Christian. Others said they’d never ask pastors for business advice because they had no interest or experience in their work. After all, wasn’t “full-time Christian service” what the church was all about? This book explores the nature and meaning of doing business and finds it calls for much more than most think. Van Duzer presents a profoundly Christian approach that integrates biblical studies with the disciplines of business and economics. Looking beyond the place of ethical principles and the character of the individual, Van Duzer displays a vision of business that contributes to the very purposes of God.

Diversity Code : Unlock The Secrets To Making Differences Work In The Real

Each chapter begins with a challenging question, which the author answers based on years of experience as a diversity expert and attorney, and concludes with a real-world scenario and a chance for readers to test themselves on their knowledge.

Something More : A Devotional Dimension For The Joseph-Daniel Calling
$18.73For those chosen, the Joseph-Daniel calling requires “something more.” The “something more” marks true Kingdom leadership with a maturity that endures. It demands a cost far beyond spoon feeding, or the good intentions, ambitions, or any other notion of man.

It is the dividing asunder between the many who are called and the few who are chosen. This book outlines a pathway to steward your calling. It is not designed for those focused on their comforts, the lusts of the flesh or the love of the world. If taken seriously and acted on; it will release the meat of maturity leading to “something more” than might ever come from the best of human efforts.

Jesus Was A Capitalist
$19.98In the Ancient Scrolls of His written teachings, Jesus taught very clearly in simple words:
The obligation of all people to have great wealth for the good of all.
How to have great wealth no matter how poor, or small you start.
That it is so easy for the very rich to enter the kingdom of heaven.
That it is very spiritual to have great wealth for the right purposes.
That the statement”you can not serve God and money”, actually means to have more money, not less.
That the very rich should generate much more and how.
He told the Apostles and the disciples to keep their wealth, but not take it in their purses, for they were worthy of pay where they ministered.
Also, many wealthy women traveled with Jesus and financed His ministry. One of these wealthy women of great influence was the wife of rich Herod’s business manager. (LK 8:1-3).
These ancient scrolls are labeled Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. They originally, accurately recorded all the wealth – Dominion – teachings of Jesus for the benefit of all persons. Over 2,000 years later these scrolls still teach the same simple truths of easy success for all.
These scrolls are now in the Book called the Bible. Here they are for you in this book on the scrolls-to-gold-teachings-of-Jesus, the Master Teacher of true capitalism, etc.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Financing The Kingdom
$15.61As we all know, hard times abound in today’s society. Many victims have turned to the church for some degree of financial support and prayer, just to be turned away due to a lack of funds. Annually, the churches in America collect and deposit over one hundred billion dollars into the local banks. However, the majority of those saints cannot go to those same banks and borrow a dime. Why does the church not receive any returns or benefits from this money? Could this be the reason why the church has been suffering financial defeat?
With this current lack of stewardship, it is much more difficult in fulfilling our assignment regarding the Great Commission, Kingdom building, and to win the world by our example.
In this book, God has provided a revelation of wealth transfer to finance all His Kingdom interest in the earth.
Be Blessed.

Ministry In The Marketplace
$15.61Become a minister in the marketplace!
Ministry in the Marketplace: Joining Your Personal Faith and Professional Life shows how to bridge the divide between calling and career. If you ever wondered whether or not God could work wonders in your workplace, then this is the book for you. Quit leaving the ministry to professional ministers and start reaching people in your sphere of influence!
We were made to represent God and touch people’s lives and when we don’t do what we were created to do we are left feeling empty and dissatisfied. Yet this book is more than just about purpose, but also a practical discussion about how to really walk with God as a minister in the marketplace.
Those that are not called to the full-time ministry still have a real calling to reach out to others on God’s behalf because we were created to touch the world with the love of God. That does not mean we have to be in a pulpit ministry, but that our daily lives are our pulpit, and the people around us our congregation.
Inside this revolutionary book, author Michael Kocurek reveals:
* It is God’s will for us to minister to people around us even while we are on the job.
* A godly definition of success doesn’t exalt work at the expense of God’s purposes.
* We have placed too much of the work of ministry on the pastor of the local church.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Punctuation At Work
$14.99In the workplace, good punctuation is much more than a matter of correctness. It’s a matter of efficiency. Professionals who aren’t sure how to punctuate take more time than necessary to write, as they fret about the many inconsistent and contradictory rules they’ve picked up over the years. Good punctuation is also a matter of courtesy: In workplace writing, a sentence should yield its meaning instantly, but when punctuation is haphazard, readers need to work to understand – or guess at – the writer’s intent. Weak punctuation results in time-wasting confusion, questions about professionalism, and some times even serious and costly miscommunication. Without using the jargon of grammar – and providing 18 common sense principles to live by – Punctuation at Work shows busy professionals exactly how the marks can be used to make meaning clear and emphasize ideas. All the marks are covered, with hundreds of examples taken from today’s workplace. From hyphens and semicolons to brackets and quotation marks…all the way to ellipses (and the eternal struggle between “that” and “which”), this book explains the many ways punctuation makes things plain.

Training On Trial
$22.99While upbeat lingo abounds about “complementing strategic objectives” and “driving productivity,” the fact is that most training does not make a significant enough impact on business results, and when it does, training professionals fail to make a convincing case about the value added to the bottom line. The vaunted “business partnership model” has yet to be realized-and in tough economic times, when the training budget is often the first to be cut, training is on trial for its very existence. Using a courtroom trial as a metaphor, Training on Trial seeks to get to the truth about why training fails and puts the business partnership model to work for real. Readers on both sides of the “courtroom” will learn how to stop viewing training as a cost center, and bridge the gulf between what learning functions deliver and what business units need to execute their strategies. A thought-provoking read for trainers and business unit leaders alike, Training on Trial provides a new application of the Kirkpatrick Four-Level Evaluation Model and a multitude of tips and techniques that allow lessons learned to be put into action now.

$18.99Ralph de la Vega, President and CEO of AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets, shares the lessons learned in business and in life along the journey from Cuba to Corporate America.
Ralph de la Vega arrived in the United States from Cuba in 1962. He was alone. He was scared. He was 10. Separated from his parents by Cuban authorities just moments before they were to board a plane to Miami, de la Vega was baptized early-and abruptly-in the waters of adversity. It would be four long years before his mother, father, and sister gained legal passage to America. But while the boy would never have chosen such circumstance, it’s the man who can look back and say he would not have changed it.
In Obstacles Welcome, de la Vega recounts his journey as a young Cuban immigrant to president and CEO of AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets, a subsidiary of AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T). A frontliner in the converging worlds of technology and communications, de la Vega takes readers behind the scenes of the Internet revolution, shares insights from the nation’s top technology companies, and chronicles the incredible obstacles intrinsic to successfully merging the largest wireless operations in U.S. history-those of Cingular Wireless and AT&T Wireless.
Obstacles Welcome is an innovation manifesto for those committed to bigger thinking and greater results both professionally and personally. He clearly defines how to:
* Create a detailed action plan to boost success
* Identify and take calculated risks without fear
* Create a values-centric, decisive leadership style
* Transform vision into measurable results
* Recognize opportunities and overcome obstacles
* Communicate well and build alignment
* Unlearn thinking that hinders innovation
* Dream big and throw off mental limits once and for allOpening a powerful cache of business strategy and in-the-trenches wisdom, de la Vega illustrates that within each obstacle we encounter, there’s an opportunity that carries the potential to transform our thinking, our organizations, our communities, and our world.

Anointed For Business (Reprinted)
$20.00Every Business Is God’s BusinessThe notion that labor for profit and worship of God are now, and always have been, worlds apart, is patently false. The Early Church founders were mostly community leaders and highly successful businesspeople. The writing of the Gospels was entrusted to Luke, a medical doctor; Matthew, a retired tax collector; Mark, the manager of a family trust; and John, a food supplier. Lydia was “a dealer in purple cloth.” Dorcas was a clothes designer. In this expanded version of the bestselling Anointed for Business, Ed Silvoso focuses on the heart of our cities, which is the marketplace. Yet the perceived wall between commercial pursuit and service to God continues to be a barrier to advancing His kingdom. Silvoso shows Christians how to knock down that wall–and participate in an unparalleled marketplace transformation. Only then can we see God’s kingdom invade every corner of our world. Readers will appreciate Silvoso’s passionate call to men and women in the workplace to rise to their God-appointed positions.The included study guide will enable the reader to put these revolutionary concepts into action.

Improving Employee Performance Through Appraisal And Coaching 2nd Edition
$24.95When Dick Grote, in the Foreword to this book, writes that nothing’s changed,” he is not speaking to the state of the human resources field or the art of performance management, both of which have evolved continuously, profoundly, and for the better. Nor is he describing the content of the new second edition, which, in fact, contains comprehensive material on a whole new generation of jobs in technology, customer service, and other rapidly changing fields, plus brand new examples and two full case studies. What’s not changed is the fact that author Donald Kirkpatrick is one of the leading voices on human resources and training and development. For more than forty years, Kirkpatrick’s four-level performance evaluation model has been the standard throughout the world, and has revolutionized the way enterprises manage, monitor, and optimize employee performance. The new edition of Improving Performance Through Appraisal and Coaching contains all the wisdom and step-by-step processes of the original, with all the guidance and tools you’ll need to implement a program that gets maximum results. The book starts with a 40-question test about your organization and its processes and attitudes regarding performance appraisal and coaching. Taking the test both before and after reading the first section of the book will highlight exactly where your existing initiatives can be improved and new ones put in place. Kirkpatrick then goes on to describe in detail how a culture of coaching builds and enhances performance, and how to build this culture across the entire organization. Examples and eye-opening Notes from the Field both reinforce and complement the author’s sage recommendations, illustrating how his approaches can be adopted in their entirety or deployed piecemeal, depending on your organization’s specific needs. The case studies, both from major employers, prove the overarching value of a proactive performance appraisal program and vibrant coaching environment. The book is packed with ready-to-use forms and, more important, instructions and observations on their effective use. Plus, every chapter is designed for practical application, featuring accessible charts and figures, lists of key points, specific suggestions, cause-and-effect relationships, and much more. While workplaces and jobs have changed dramatically, some truths seem everlasting. One is that in order to obtain exceptional employee performance, you need to build a thorough and consistent appraisal
