40/40 Vision: Clarifying Your Mission in Midlife
by Bob Buford Peter Greer Greg LaffertyAt midlife, our perspective can become blurry. Midlife is a disruptive season where we collide with limitations on all sides. We recognize there is more of life in the rearview mirror than on the road ahead of us. We wonder if our lives so far have been worthwhile. We are uncertain about what lies ahead. But midlife is also an opportunity to recalibrate our vision. It's a time to look back, take stock of our lives so far, and refocus on new dimensions of identity and calling. Peter Greer and Greg Lafferty offer insight for navigating midlife with fresh clarity and purpose. Drawing on the wisdom of the book of Ecclesiastes, they show how we can come to grips with the realities of who we are and what we should become in the years ahead. In a world that can seem meaningless at times, God offers perspective that anchors us, renews us and propels us back into the world in meaningful mission and service. Rediscover who God has called you to be. And see the rest of your life with the clarity of 40/40 vision.

by Michael Nelson Barbara A. PerryBoth history and current events attest to the continued significance of religion in society. Yet despite the role and importance of the institution of religion, and the profound influence that religious organizations continue to exert, religion occupies a curiously marginal place in organization theory. At the same time, organization theory has been criticized for its narrow focus on corporations, and there have been calls to study a much broader range of organizational forms (e. g. , Bamberger and Pratt, 2010). Interestingly, the small number of studies of religious organizations that have been published have had a disproportionate impact on the field. This suggests that religious organizations deserve more attention, and that attending to them will have significant benefits for our understanding of organizations. This volume brings together leading organizations theorists with an interest in religion to take stock of recent developments as well as introduce new ways of thinking about the relationship between religion and organization.
42 Faith: The Rest of the Jackie Robinson Story
by Ed HenryJackie Robinson, Branch Rickey, and the hidden hand of God that changed history Journalist and baseball lover Ed Henry reveals for the first time the backstory of faith that guided Jackie Robinson into not only the baseball record books but the annals of civil rights advancement as well. Through recently discovered sermons, interviews with Robinson&’s family and friends, and even an unpublished book by the player himself, Henry details a side of Jackie&’s humanity that few have taken the time to see.Branch Rickey, the famed owner who risked it all by signing Jackie to his first contract, is also shown as a complex individual who wanted nothing more than to make his God-fearing mother proud of him. Few know the level at which Rickey struggled with his decision, only moving forward after a private meeting with a minister he&’d just met. It turns out Rickey was not as certain about signing Robinson as historians have always assumed.With many baseball stories to enthrall even the most ardent enthusiast, 42 Faith also digs deep into why Jackie was the man he was and what both drove him and challenged him after his retirement. From his early years before baseball, to his time with Rickey and the Dodgers, to his failing health in his final years, we see a man of faith that few have recognized.This book will add a whole new dimension to Robinson&’s already awe-inspiring legacy. Yes, Jackie and Branch are both still heroes long after their deaths. Now, we learn more fully than ever before, there was an assist from God too.

49 Days Back to Better: Change Your Trajectory for a New Outlook on Life
by Tim HillIt seems much of what society thought was normal about life and the world has changed.A tiny unseen virus has shut down businesses, crippled nations, and taken the lives of precious people. Those lives can never be replaced. And then there is the petty stuff like finding a single roll of toilet paper at the supermarket. People are wearing masks and gloves to protect themselves and others from this unseen enemy potentially hiding inside of friends, neighbors, and family members. Normal just isn’t normal anymore. Normal is just a place in people’s minds that everyone seems to want to get back to as soon as possible. Some people are even calling it a new normal, but what is that?As the concept of going back to better is considered, Dr. Tim Hill, Tim Enochs, and Adam Enochs fully understand that some losses can never be replaced, and in that realm, there is no going back to better. In 49 Days Back to Better, they focus on areas where there is a choice whether to go back to normal in those areas or find the way back to something better.
