Lead Vertically
by Craig Johsnon
I had so much fun working on this book with Craig. Craig is an inspirational leader who serves on staff with Joel Osteen at Lakewood Church in Houston, Craig Johnson oversees thousands of staff members, lay leaders, and volunteers. From his unique vantage point comes Lead Vertically, a fresh look at the importance of building teams when the goal is not only success, but fulfillment. Lead Vertically includes tools and exercises that can be adapted by any leader for teams of any size, as well as tips for recruiting, training, and strengthening teams. Leaders will learn to inspire even when saying no and to build trust personally, not just professionally. People can live with disappointment but not without hope, and Lead Vertically shows leaders how to motivate teams by consistently and clearly communicating that the best days are ahead.
Fearless
by Tom Stephen and Ginny Starkey - Photos by Hank Foto
This book represents two things that I love: Surf and God's word. Knowing Hank Foto (international surf photog) inspired me to try to combine these two loves for others. Fearless is the result of that effort.
I created a new genre of devotions that uses intense photography alongside devotions that are saturated in scripture with a few reflection questions. Anyone who loves the ocen and/or god's word will enjoy the experience of this book.
Focus on Family Marriage Series
Our professional writing carreer began when an editor from Regal Books sent us an email asking if we'd like to write a curriculum for Focus on the Family on marriage. We were fortunate to serve with the team at Regal to create The Abundant Marriage, The Suprising Marriage and The Masterpiece Marriage.
These three studies were part of a larger series produced by Focus on the Family.
