This book is salve for the deepest wounds.’--Stan Toler, bestselling author, pastor, and speaker’A resounding message of hope for those who are dealing with loss, failure, rejection, or abuse. The authors apply God’s deepest truths to life’s deepest hurts.’--Jo Anne Lyon, Executive Director, World Hope InternationalNo matter what you have suffered, God can heal your broken heart.Perhaps it’s a divorce. Or, maybe you’ve suffered the loss of a child or the loss of a job. No one expects to suffer these heartaches when they’re dreaming about the future and thinking about the way that life will turn out. No one prepares to face the devastations that life can visit upon us. Life’s trials can leave us disillusioned, angry at God, and questioning our faith. In their book, Jerry Brecheisen and Lawrence W. Wilson walk you through your difficult experiences and disappointments, bringing you to the point of healing--the place where God brings redemption to suffering.

Great leaders don’t develop overnight. Becoming great requires the guidance, support, and wisdom of others who model outstanding leadership behavior. Christian leaders need individuals they can respect and imitate which can be hard to find in a world where being successful doesn’t always mean commanding with character. David, the great king of Israel and major writer of the Psalms, is one of the greatest leaders in history. His writings offer us a window into this heart-the heart of a shepherd, a king, and most of all God’s servant. In Maximum Integrity, Stan Toler and Jerry Brecheisen look at several of the psalms especially suited for the moods and needs of leaders and share insights born from the times when, during their own life journeys, they paused and allowed themselves to be changed by the words of King David. Using David’s life as a model--including his leadership techniques and personal triumphs and failures--Toler and Brecheisen offer Christian principles and strategies for leaders to meditate on and live by. Maximum Integrity provides leaders with practical ways to apply the teachings of the ancient psalms to their lives today and encourages them to remember to trust God to help direct and care for them--no matter what the situation may be.
