“Impacting lives with Christian literature”
LEADING IN THE VALLEY
It is quite evident that life is not smooth sailing. There are sharp corners and the roads are bumpy. There are valleys to be navigated and mountains to be climbed. The plans you have may not always materialize the way you had imagined them. This can be disheartening and discouraging. The temptation is usually to give up.In this book, Gibson Anduvate reminds us that we are not alone in the valley. He also offers insights to help us navigate those seasons so that we can thrive despite the challenges that have been thrown at us. But this book is not only about that; it is also about how we can be better relational human beings.
LEADING YOUNG
Leading Young is a vital pocket guide for every aspiring leader; a compass that will prove helpful to people from all walks of life that aspire to be leaders. It breaks down and explains the principles of leadership based on scripture and years of experience working with young leaders. The pitfalls that could easily ensnare leaders are listed, while the right turns that must be taken are highlighted.
What is the driving force behind your desire to become a leader? Are you driven by self-interest or do you seek to serve people and add value to their lives? Do you dream of wielding power and authority over the people you lead, or would you rather serve them and work with them? These are a few of the scenarios that Gibson highlights in this book.
