What does God think of us when we fail? Does he think You're a loser. There's no hope for you. What a wimp! You're good for nothing! Or does he think something very different? If you've ever lost a job or a relationship, let your friends down, seen your finances collapse, found your ministry crumbling or failed to meet your own ethical standards, you might wonder if recovery is possible. Perhaps you've wondered if you can ever repair the damage done to others, to yourself and to your relationship with God. Steve Roy has good news for you. He had to face his own failures, but his failures also drove him deep into what God thinks about us and success, especially in Christian ministry. He searched deeply in Scripture and listened carefully to the stories of others. He found that God's view of success is very different from ours. And that a biblically grounded view of success and failure challenges our preconceived notions but leads to hopeful renewal that goes beyond what we often ask or think.

If you're like most people, your concept of what it takes to be successful is the exact opposite of the truth! Ask entrepreneurs like Richard Branson (Virgin companies) or Howard Schultz (Starbucks) and they'll tell you: success is about following your intuition or "gut instinct" more than special skills or higher education. It's about letting go rather than grasping. It's about following your heart, not your head. And that's very good news for you. Because as Jaden Sterling writes in his new book The Alchemy of True Success, you were born with everything you need to live a spectacular life. The answers are already within you, all you have to do is learn the "alchemy" of success and live it. Jaden is an enthusiastic supporter of the belief that we manifest in our lives what we think. We create our own reality. What we dream, what we envision is what we become. This is perhaps the most liberating realization in human history: that we are NOT victims of circumstance! It is unusual in a book such as this to find a section about the physical body and healthy habits, but Jaden is not alone in believing that mind, body and spirit are inseparable - and therefore you must address your physical health as part of any program of seeking true success. That's why you'll read about caring for your physical self - including the all-important pineal gland that's the seat of your spirit. What you'll get from reading this book: Liberation to pursue and achieve your dreams Techniques that will prepare you for the greatness to come A new, positive understanding of your place in the universe A surge of optimism and confidence in yourself A new understanding of what true success really is Self-evaluation after each chapter to keep you on track as you prepare yourself for a very different approach to life. After reading The Alchemy of True Success you will be well prepared to consciously create the life of your dreams!"

Biblical Teaching on Ambition Offers Surprising, Discerning Insights What drives a person to seek significance on this earth? Is it okay to want to feel important? Is ambition wrong? With his usual warmth, humor, and candor, beloved pastor and author R. T. Kendall explores what makes a human tick--and why it is important to know. Ambition, he states, is not inherently good or evil. It is a gift, and one of the main ways God motivates his children to do his will. Readers will delight in self-discovery as they • Become aware of their hidden motives • Understand what it means to be objective about themselves • Learn patience before judging others • Channel their ambition into actions that please God The greatest satisfaction, Kendall contends, comes from experiencing praise that God alone can give. Whatever their level of ambition, readers will discover honor and significance as God means for them to enjoy it. This, says Kendall, is true fulfillment and success.
