Giant Killers: Overcoming Obstacles and Seizing Opportunities

It seemed a lopsided battle. On one side, a small shepherd with a sling and five stones. On the other, a heavily armored ten-foot giant whose taunts and challenges immobilized an army of seasoned warriors. The story of David and Goliath has become an almost universal underdog story; but in reality, Goliath never stood a chance. In Giant Killers, emotional intelligence speaker, consultant, and author Steve Lawson identifies the five vital emotional and social skills David possessed: identity, discipline, graciousness, action, and hope. When combined with the power of God's grace, these strengths made it possible for David to defeat Goliath, build a mighty army out of social rejects, and establish the greatest kingdom in the history of Israel. We all face giants in our lives, if not as literally as David did. But like David, we can overcome any challenge, seizing with confidence the opportunities God places in our path. Giant Killers teaches you how to do so, providing a foundation on which you can build success after success. It all begins with you--and your willingness to trust in God's grace.

Marriage has become quite the disposable commodity these days. And for some reason, we have bought the lie that if our marriage isn't easy then there must be something wrong, and we probably shouldn't be with that person. It's as if our society has lost the value of hard work - that anything worth having is worth working for. So, as soon as marriage becomes work, we start looking for a way out. But that's not at all how the Bible views marriage. Genesis 2:24 says, "Therefore, a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh" (ESV). It's that phrase "hold fast" that does it for me. The King James Version translates it "cleave." But that brings to mind chopping things into small bits with a large sharp object, and while that may describe your thoughts toward your spouse at times, let's just stick with "hold fast" for now. The phrase means to cling to and never let go-as if for your very survival. What would happen in our marriages if, instead of treating our relationships so casually, we learned to hold fast to one another? What if, instead of treating marriage as a disposable commodity, we chose to fight for our marriages? Marriage is Worth Fighting For will give you the tools you need to begin to build the marriage you've always dreamed of. It's time to so value your relationship with your spouse that you refuse to let anything come between you. But it won't always be easy, and many times it will be excruciatingly difficult. But it's worth every struggle, every sacrifice, and every battle. So what do you say? Let's pick a fight!

Review\nINDIE READER BOOK REVIEWGiant Killers: Overcoming Obstacles and Seizing Opportunities 
By Steve Lawson\nIR Verdict: In a sea of books that offers guidance to leaders,especially in the Christian nonfiction segment, GIANT KILLERS provides a fresh,modern take on an ancient story.\n"a Christian perspective on how emotional intelligence and mindfulness can lead to the strength people often need to face their giants" 
Everyone has "giants" in their lives that need slaying--fears, worries, guilt, insecurity, etc.--but those giants can be overcome through self-awareness, combined with God's grace.\nThe Bible story of David and Goliath has long symbolized how people can overcome seemingly impossible situations to come out ahead. Former pastor and church planter, Steve Lawson uses this story as the pervasive foundation for his book, GIANT KILLERS: OVERCOMING OBSTACLES AND SEIZING OPPORTUNITIES. Lawson, now a leadership trainer, explains how the giants in peoples' lives hold them back from moving forward through daily issues, such as broken relationships, financial worries, addiction, and grief.Calling upon the work of authors such as Tom Rath (Strengths Finder 2.0)and John Ortberg (The Life You've Always Wanted),Lawson shares through personal experiences, other people's stories, and passages from the Bible how "key character qualities of identity, discipline,graciousness, action, and hope--when combined with the power of God's grace--will enable any leader to not only overcome any obstacle, but will prepare him or her to seize opportunities as well."\nLawson's non-confrontational, non-judgmental,conversational writing style and thoughtful use of scripture offers a Christian perspective on how emotional intelligence and mindfulness can lead to the strength people often need to face their giants and overcome the barriers between fear and triumph. Although the book was written for a Christian audience, the universality of the David and Goliath story and the real-life situations discussed in the book do not preclude non-Christians from gaining insight into the importance of self-awareness, empathy, and hope.\nIn a sea of books that offers guidance to leaders, especially in the Christian nonfiction segment, GIANT KILLERS provides a fresh, modern take on an ancient story.\n~IndieReader.

A spiritual guide to overcoming life's seemingly outsized obstacles.\nAs the centerpiece of his nonfiction debut, longtime pastor and public speaker Lawson has chosen the biblical figure of King David, which is always a tricky gambit. Although David is one of the most courageous, charismatic figures in the Old Testament, it can also be argued that he's one of the most self-serving, so using him as a guide to life requires some careful picking and choosing. As this book's title indicates, Lawson opens his narrative with the signature story of young David's heroism defeating the Philistine champion Goliath in single combat. In Lawson's conception, Goliath stands in for all the seemingly unbeatable difficulties of life, and he stresses that such difficulties are not always external. They can take the shape of an "internal list" of "all those things that one has done, things that have been done to us, mistakes we have made,failures, frustrations, and weaknesses," he says, which combine to form"an impenetrable case for why we are unworthy to do anything for God."\nThe author's easily accessible progression of chapters features plenty of self-deprecating humor and pop-culture references, including nods to the movies The Blues Brothers (1980)and The Princess Bride (1987). He uses a series of stories from David's life to make his case that "giants come in all forms" and to stress that Christians sho
