Jim Patton thought he was dreaming big. His life-long financial goal was to make $20 an hour. But latent business savvy and God's plan for Jim's career intervened, and now he makes more than that every 60 seconds.On his way to managing mergers and acquisitions for billion-dollar companies, Patton discovered how to navigate the curves that potentially turn hopes into fears and dreams into nightmares. Although he learned mostly the hard way -- getting fired from his first job, losing everything in a major acqusition and watching a partner walk away with profits that should have been his -- through this book, he shares priceless lessons so the reader can move ahead less painfully than he did. Patton highlights his story with 40 memorable Patton Principles, Turning Points at the end of each chapter, and his list of 10 Business Directives. One appendix details how how his company does mergers and acquisitions and another covers his views on what America needs to do to recover from its business doldrums and remain the envy of the world.

Discovering Christ in Community--Collection 2

In an age when many Christian denominations are shrinking and the demographics of the churchgoing public seem to get more dire by the day, pastor and author David Roseberry reveals the two-thousand-year-old secret weapon that conquered the first-century world: generosity. Citing the principal "meme" of the earliest Christians--"It is more blessed to give than to receive"--Roseberry demonstrates the power of unselfish giving to propel the message of Christ throughout a culture obsessed with "selfie theology."
Roseberry challenges churches to rethink everything they know about generosity, giving, and the gospel by drawing on powerful examples from the biblical record, from church history, and from the front lines of today's culture wars. He shows how the simple, profound influence of sacrificial generosity is the most powerful antidote to the self-obsessed, cynical spirit of our age. Building on this foundation, he lays out simple, actionable strategies designed to galvanize followers of Christ and activate the church for a radically counter-cultural way of life. The "twin engines" of evangelism and discipleship can no longer, by themselves, effectively drive the Gospel message, Roseberry asserts. Instead, the church must harness the irresistible moral force of the message proclaimed by the sacrificial life and death of its Lord, as reflected in the lives of those who follow Him.
Giving Up: How Giving to God Renews Hearts, Changes Minds, and Empowers Ministry offers a fresh, thoroughly biblical, deeply theological alternative to the latest theories of discipleship and church growth. As Roseberry explains, "The Body of Christ is at its best and most powerful when it is at its most giving." If we want to win the world, we have to learn how to give up.
