Upside Down : The Paradox Of Servant Leadership
$15.99
If you’re tired of feeling like there is more to leadership than telling others what to do, Upside Down will help you practice true spiritual leadership and follow Jesus’ leadership advice to empower others.
THE LEADERSHIP STYLE OF JESUS. Most believers are familiar with Jesus’ recipe for leadership success: “Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all.” (Mark 10: 43-44) But when it comes to putting that into practice, many leaders are content to leave Jesus’ advice on a dusty road in Galilee and follow society’s leadership trends.
Servant leadership-the kind of leadership Jesus practiced-is something that sets believers apart. The choice of whether to follow the leadership path to power, authority, and control or the road to humility and putting others first is an important one. Jesus cuts through the superfluous issues surrounding leadership and moves straight to the heart of the matter, addressing our motives and values, writes Dr. Rinehart.
If you’re ready to take your leadership to a new level by following Jesus’ footsteps, Upside Down will challenge you to equip and liberate others to fulfill God’s purposes for them in the world.

Surprised By Hope
$15.99For years Christians have been asking, “If you died tonight, do you know where you would go?” It turns out Christians have been giving the wrong answer. It is not heaven.
One of today’s premier Bible scholars and award-winning author N.T. Wright outlines the present confusion about a Christian’s future hope and shows how it is deeply intertwined with how we live today. Wright shows that Christianity’s most distinctive idea is bodily resurrection. First, he provides a magisterial defense of a literal resurrection of Jesus himself. This became the cornerstone for the Christian community’s hope in the bodily resurrection of all people at the end of the age. Next Wright explores our expectation of “new heavens and new earth,” showing what happens to the dead until then and what will happen with the “second coming” of Jesus. For many, including many Christians, all this will come as a great surprise.
Wright convincingly argues that what we believe about life after death directly affects what we believe about life before death. For if God intends to renew the whole creation – and if this has already begun in Jesus’s resurrection – the church cannot stop at “saving souls” but must anticipate the eventual renewal by working for God’s kingdom in the wider world, bringing healing and hope in the present life.
Lively and accessible, this book will surprise and excite all who are interested in the meaning of life, not only after death but, before it.
