Convergence is the season when seemingly seperate life-threads are woven together for your ultimate purpose. At this juncture in your life, you can have cause to say: "Yes! This is me; this is what my life is for." 
Convergence happens when individuals discover their unique blend of Career, Community, Creativity and Call. This discovery is often a result of deliberate decisions to submit, through steps of obedience and, to what one understands of God and his ways. 
We usually pass through seven seasons before coming to a point of Convergence. These seasons are crafted by God to shape us into a people prepared for his purposes. They include: Faith, Fearing and Hearing God, Discovering Your Gifts, Skills Building, Internal Integrity, (Re)choosing Your Spouse and The University of the Desert.

Why another book about leadership? The author's work involves meeting with many leaders from around the world each year and they all have this in common: they want to have impact. They have mastered their craft and moved beyond the basics of running an organization. Best Practices are routine. They are looking at the deeper life issues. This inevitably brings them to the topic of leadership and more specifically, who they are. This book is not a "How To" of leadership, but a "Who are you?" book that considers leadership in a fresh way. Those who work at the coalface of human need are convinced that the lack of leaders is the number one issue in the world today. This stems partly from the fact that our definitions of leadership are too narrow - incomplete. We know lots about entrepreneurs and managers, but there are other types of leaders about which we know precious little. LEMON LeadershipÃ‚Â® expands our view of leadership to cover five distinct types of leaders; not styles, not temperaments, not preferences...types. The simple truths about LEMON LeadershipÃ‚Â® have transformed the lives of individual leaders and changed the working of executive teams. Understanding the truisms in this book will radically increase your impact.

Force of the Spirit

Kim Daus-Edwards

Imprinted in the core of our being is a desire for life to make sense. Somewhere in the back of our minds is the un-whispered prayer, God, I hope that the unconnected islands in my life hold together in your view. When we press pause and are no longer propelled by the momentum of the mundane, we secretly say; I hope I am going in the right direction. Or in a quiet moment when we sink into a seat on a plane, on a train, or in a emergency room we say to ourselves. I hope my life isn't happening this way just because I willed it, just because I made it happen, just because I drove it forward myself. Then, every once in a while, we cross paths with someone who operates in the zone and yet lives in faith. Whether on a page in a book or at a corner cafe we instinctively know that for this person, life's pictures are in the same frame; they are telling one story. Several thoughts immediately compete for the clear space in our minds. I long for the threads of my life to to form a discernible tapestry -perhaps even a noble picture. I wonder if this is a random coincidence, or is there a lesser known path that might lead me to... But doesn't it say somewhere that many diligent seekers did not receive what they had hoped for? Our deep yearning cannot be quelled by busyness, self-help books or group therapy. One-minute-this, thee-step-that, and seven-part-the-other will not satisfy. We have to go beyond the logical to find the glorious. We must push past the mechanics to know the mystery. The need for Convergence is greater than ever. In 2000 few were talking about integrating work and faith; today talk of marketplace ministry is common. Business-as-missions is now a well-worn term. Books on the intersection of faith and work abound. Every day a growing cadre of business men and women head to work with a new understanding that they are ministers, every bit as much as their pulpit counterparts. This is good. People have begun to work with God, seven days a week, rather than doing odd jobs for Him on Sundays. This is very good. Most of us want to have an impact on today and for eternity - the truth is, we are still falling short of the impact we could be having. Convergence, in essence, is the particular juncture in life which causes you to say: Yes! this is me, this is what my life is for. Convergence is the deliberate drawing together of threads woven into your life over the past several decades that reveals your life call. You may well ask, How do I do this? This book is aimed at helping you answer this question in a straightforward yet non-formulaic manner.

Echoes from a Woman's Heart

Cynthia Moller

Mark Green has weathered the early stages of business startup well. His company, Green Cycles, carved out a solid niche in the growing cycling industry, and he should be enjoying the fruits of his entrepreneurial activities. Instead, Mark is grappling to understand why a self-built, driven entrepreneur is quickly becoming unsettled with life. His restlessness leads him to put the company up for sale, and within a short time he has a potential buyer. Unfortunately, he omits to tell his wife Teresa, and when his in-laws enter the picture, the negotiations take an unexpected turn. Mark s senior management, also in the dark about the sale, seem to have a very different view of the business, and soon Mark is forced to dig deeper about his own views of business and life. Follow Mark Green s story as he progresses through the business sale driven by a team of buyout experts who examine whether Green Cycles fits into the potential buyers portfolio of repurposed companies. He is challenged to examine his own purpose, and deal with alignment among family and executive team members who are not fully integrated in the present business model. Does Mark sell? Does he settle? Does he shift into something new? The answer will surprise you.
