Every year thousands of God's servants leave the ministry convinced they are failures. Years ago, in the midst of a crisis of faith, Kent Hughes almost became one of them. But instead he and his wife Barbara turned to God's Word, determined to learn what God had to say about success and to evaluate their ministry from a biblical point of view. This book describes their journey and their liberation from the "success syndrome"-the misguided belief that success in ministry means increased numbers. In today's world it is easy to be seduced by the secular thinking that places a number on everything. But the authors teach that true success in ministry lies not in numbers but in several key areas: faithfulness, serving, loving, believing, prayer, holiness, and a Christlike attitude. Their thoughts will encourage readers who grapple with feelings of failure and lead them to a deeper, fuller understanding of success in Christian ministry. This book was originally published by Tyndale in 1987 and includes a new preface.
Congratulations! You made it to the New York Times bestselling list. You're a platinum selling rapper. You're one of the best actors out there. You're a hero in your hometown. You are internationally recognized, much like Stephen King or LeBron James is. You're no longer being harassed by poverty. You got your license. You got yourself a neat whip. You got yourself a gorgeous house. However, your anxiety has worsened. The nights become lonelier each time you put another plaque on the wall or do a successful performance. These women you're boning only want the bones and the coins, they don't give a shit about loyalty. Your family and friends switched up on you, everyone's mooching off you. People adore you. People despise you. People want what you have. They want to take it from you. Welcome to Success Syndrome.
As David A. Nadler and Michael L. Tushman show, the last remaining source of truly sustainable competitive advantage lies in "organizational capabilities": the unique ways each organization structures its work, builds its cultures, and motivates its people to achieve clearly articulated aspirations and strategic objectives.
Hidden in each of us is a superstar waiting to come to life. Often we struggle to find this, not because we lack talent, desire, or ability, but because we don’t know the right steps to take. Frequently, we surrender to a sea of negative emotions and self-doubts right at the very beginning, or give up after a few setbacks. Dr Myra S. White and Sanjay Jha provide a comprehensive nine-step roadmap to help you succeed in the workplace and other areas of your lives. The Superstar Syndrome is the ultimate success bible based on the lives of over 80 well-known people, like N.R. Narayana Murthy, M.S. Dhoni, Steve Jobs, Jack Welch, Warren Buffet, and Ratan Tata who transformed themselves from ordinary people into exceptional achievers. It covers all aspects of what you need to know and do to successfully make the journey to superstardom—how to identify and manage your special talents, build power, influence, and deliver A-level performances—and illustrates each step with examples from the lives of the well-known superstars that were studied. It makes you believe that the finish line is not just within your reach, but opens up dreams and possibilities beyond.
This history of success in the United States illustrates the degree to which personal and professional accomplishments have determined overall life satisfaction. Beyond serving as a guide to the past, present, and future of success in America, especially that found in the business world, this book poses a provocative argument: the standard practice of employing outer-directed measures of success, notably wealth, power, and fame, has worked to the psychological disadvantage of many Americans. More specifically, it shows that a comparative and competitive view of success has made a significant number of individuals feel less successful than if more inner-directed measures were used. Ironically then, the traditional model of success in the United States has been largely a failure. This work offers historians, practitioners, and general readers of non-fiction a blueprint for how to adopt a more meaningful and positive model of success in their everyday lives.
Filled with specific techniques and interactive tools, this book offers an innovative detoxification program to help people change their mindset, focus their attention, and appreciate the simple but profound things in life.
Historical Drift—This book helps define, diagnose, detect and reverse historical drift. Must my church die, you ask? The vision dims, the core values shift, the passion fades, the original moorings are left behind. You are not alone in your question. There are others like you, Christian leaders, both lay and clergy, who want to see our churches return to the basic issues of doctrine and faith.
As a youth leader, do you really know what you are getting yourself into? Do you understand that the ministry you have signed up for is often a thankless job? Are you aware that as you literally pour out your heart and life for teenagers in your youth ministry, some of the very same kids you are working so hard to love are going to choose to walk away from God? Has anyone ever sat down and told you that youth ministry is one of the most emotional undertakings anyone could ever sign up for? Well, it's true. But have no fear, because in actuality, the good about youth ministry far outweighs the bad. Based upon the real-life experiences of over a decade of youth ministry, Green is a book that everyone in youth ministry should read. Green deals with the many emotional aspects of working with teenagers-things that you probably wouldn't find out unless you had spent time in the youth ministry trenches yourself. In Green, author Rodney W. Wardwell II connects with youth pastors, bi-vocational lay leaders, and anyone who might take on the incredible responsibility of pouring into teens by sharing dynamic personal stories and relevant principles that will prepare youth leaders for the emotions of youth ministry and help to eclipse the prospect of burnout. After reading Green, you will understand that, even through all of the challenges of ministry, God has given you a purpose and a calling to reach your students.
