The Heart of an Executive chronicles the career of David, one of the best-known figures in the Bible, from his humble origins as a shepherd boy to his slaying of the giant Goliath, to his triumphant crowning success as king of Israel. David's story is that of a career executive, and in it Richard D. Phillips sees reflected the trials and triumphs that mark our own lives in today's business world. Like any other executive, David's career came in recognizable stages: preparation, rise, achievement, and finally, the passing of the torch. While following his career, the reader witnesses the fashioning of a leader, as David's heart is shaped by his faith in God, his love for his people, and his passion for real and lasting achievement. Through many trials and failures, David emerged as a leader who inspired others to achieve the impossible. Despite his own flaws and the venomous opposition of many, David remained true to God and his people, and through this one man an entire nation found its purpose and identity. This is precisely the kind of leader today's world needs, and Phillips amply demonstrates the relevance of David's reign for today's businessperson. The lessons in The Heart of an Executive are clear, biblically based, and will challenge and equip men and women to raise their aspirations and heighten the impact of leadership.

Like any other executive's, David's career had its stages: preparation, rise, achievement, and finally, the passing of the torch. But what set David apart, what made him the most beloved king in Israelite history, was his vision, for both himself and his people, that grew out of his faith in God. David placed God's wishes and laws before his own personal ambitions, and he inspired a similar dedication in his followers. Despite many challenges and setbacks, he ruled Israel, remaining true to his God and his people, and inspired his subjects to achieve the impossible--precisely the kind of leader the world needs today. No matter the size of the company, the clear and relevant lessons in THE HEART OF AN EXECUTIVE will enable executives to see their own challenges, recognize frustrations, realize dreams, and rekindle the fires of their weary hearts. --&gt;

The woman at the well. The scholar. The tax collector. The young children. The governor. The thief on the cross. Men, women, and children who came face to face with the Lord Jesus. What was it like to see and to speak with Jesus during his days on earth? The thirteen encounters described in this book cast bright light on how Jesus treated people then—and how he relates to us today. As we watch him in action, we also learn how to interact with others around us, whether believers or unbelievers.

A compelling work on faith based on Hebrews 11. What is faith? How do we get it? What are its benefits? Its trials and obligations? No portion of Scripture deals more clearly with the vitality of faith than Hebrews 11. "This chapter is to faith what the thirteenth chapter of 1 Corinthians is to love," writes Richard Phillips. "Hebrews 11 is the work of a master teacher and loving pastor who is convinced that the fate of his readers hinges on their faith." Like the first audience of the book of Hebrews, the church today faces mounting opposition—even persecution—and the danger of falling away from the truth. Faith Victorious opens the fascinating world of Old Testament men and women whose vision of a sure hope beyond their struggles led them to acts of great courage. It likewise calls us to persevere in faith and to spur each other on to love and good deeds.

The parables of Jesus pose a striking challenge to current thinking about personal relationships, money, security, and success. They search our hearts and try our attitudes, showing us the truth about ourselves and pointing the way God wants us to go. The parables confront our worldliness with the searching perspective of heaven-all the while deepening our understanding of salvation and the priorities of Christ our King. In short, they turn our world upside down. Richard Phillips shows how as he explores Jesus' parables of the sower, the rich fool, the lost treasure, and many more in these thirteen chapters. Discussion questions help to make this book well suited to group or individual study.
