We all desperately want to leave a positive imprint on the world. We want to leave things and people better than we found them – to be remembered well. And so, we dread the idea that, in the end, our lives might not count for much. Made to Count drives straight to the heart of that fear of failure. It will help you discover your God-designed purpose – to find your life's true meaning and live your life's greatest passion. Using eight powerful biblical principles that are revolutionizing people's lives, as well as the fascinating stories of those changed by them, Reccord and Singer teach you how to hear God's call and discover His specific plan for you. These principles transcend time, cultures, and occupations. They are broadly universal and, yet, individually unique. This astonishing book can change your life . . . then you can change your world. Read it now and discover the potential you have to make a significant difference in the world – how you have been divinely made to count.
Ask any parent what they want most for their child, and most likely you'll hear the same answer again and again: to see their children grow up into happy, healthy adults whose lives count for something. But ask those same parents what they're doing to equip their children for such a life and you'll get embarrassed silence. Finally, parents can find help for this crucial task in a book that is encouraging, easy to grasp, and filled with great practical suggestions. In Launching Your Kids for Life, Bob and Cheryl Reccord liken the job of equipping your children for success in life to the procedure that NASA undertakes to prepare for a shuttle launch. The Reccords, along with their friends Dr. Tommy Holloway, past director of the NASA Space Program and three-time shuttle astronaut David Leetsma point out that just as the shuttle must break through the Earth's gravitational force into space, so too must children break free into adulthood. But our children can't do it on their own. They need our help. They need us to equip them, to prepare them, to help them discover their life's mission, and to celebrate the milestones along the way. If we learn how to do this, then we can be sure that they can fly anywhere their wings will take them.

How do we deal with the pitfalls of life?" How do we deal with the experiences we all have of emotional, physical, and spiritual heights and depths? Bob Record presents Joseph of the Old Testament as the exemplary example.
What does it take to revolutionize a person's life and make a real impact? The authors enthusiastically challenge readers to consider that a mission field is simply wherever the reader is at the moment and a call to ministry is being faithful to his immediate tasks.
Christian men are in the midst of a life-long process. They’re being transformed by the renewing of their minds, and through the power of the Holy Spirit, they’re crucifying the sinful nature with its passions and desires. But the world, the flesh, and the devil go to great lengths to thwart the process. Our culture is obsessed with sex. Pornography, declining morals, pervasive visual stimulation, rampant divorce, and epidemic adultery. They all reflect ungodly passions. And inflame impure thoughts. In this six-week study you’ll learn that God has provided everything you need to resist temptation. Through the examples of men in Scripture–those who fell into sin and those who stood firm–you’ll find hope for controlling your passions. You’ ll learn how to choose the path of purity. And you’ll find assurance that through the power of the Holy Spirit and God’s Word, you can escape the corruption of this world and one day stand before God blameless and pure.
“Why God? Why did you let this happen? Why do you allow so much pain?” Be it a job loss, illness, or loss of a spouse or child, these are questions we’ve all had. It’s as much a cry as a question; a wound; a shout of betrayal of all the rules of life and fairness as you knew them. Bob Russell offers no trite platitudes to answer the questions in Acts of God, the accompaniment book to the Acts of God videos and curriculum. Instead, through the biblical story of Joseph, he provides assurance that we are in a bigger story than the pain, suffering, and trials tell us we’re in. Whether you’re in the middle of suffering, processing something from your past, or seeking answers to the suffering you see around you, Acts of God shows a way back to hope; hope in God that brings hope to our circumstances.

MAYDAY! MAYDAY! MAYDAY! Marriages are imploding all around us. Homes are fracturing. Families are shipwrecked. And one of the leading causes is sexual temptation that leads to moral failure. How does a guy guard his heart and home in a culture that is so sexually saturated and permissive? It doesn't just happen. It takes intentional, biblical decisions to set guards and stand strong. And those decisions--or lack of them--will inevitably set directions for life which will lead to inevitable destinations. We are what we choose! BENEATH THE SURFACE compares and contrasts two of scripture's best known men--Joseph and David. Both were faced head-on with sexual temptation. One stood tall--and one fell flat. And it all centered on the choices they made. This book pulls out both the choices, and the prniciples undergirding them, of both men. And they serve as beacon points to all of us on what to do...and what not to do...as the inevitability of temptatoin knocks on our door. Journey through the lives of these two men and you will discover dangers to beware of that lurk around unsuspected corners of life's path. How to break bad habits before they become a "way of life" will be addressed head on. We'll walk together with how to make a U-turn in our life when needed, realizing that it is insane to keep going in a way that is causing problems while at the same time expecting different results. Different results only come from a change of direction. Simple, yet profound principles of setting guards on one's heart regarding thorughts, attitudes and actions will be handed to every man to use as tools for victory in his everyday battle. And who of us don't want to leave a great legacy when our journey is finished? But to finish well in the future requires making the right and wise decision today. Kicking the can down the road, is a tragic decision. Your kids and grandkids will thannk you for your choices! And for those who are married, or soon will be, there are helps all along the way within the book to strengthen this foundational relationship, making it better and more resilient daily. The eight questions that every husband ought to ask his wife yearly, combined with the eight a wife can ask her husband annually are guaranteed to take the relationship "beneath the surface" issues of life, and have proven to be a game changer for hundreds of marriages.
The Astro's star pitcher explains how he learned to deal with temptation while still a teenager, by committing himself to Christ and a life of purity, not only in sex but in action, thought, and motive.
From New York Times bestselling biographer Bob Spitz, a full and rich biography of an epic American life, capturing what made Ronald Reagan both so beloved and so transformational. More than five years in the making, based on hundreds of interviews and access to previously unavailable documents, and infused with irresistible storytelling charm, Bob Spitz's REAGAN stands fair to be the first truly post-partisan biography of our 40th President, and thus a balm for our own bitterly divided times. It is the quintessential American triumph, brought to life with cinematic vividness: a young man is born into poverty and raised in a series of flyspeck towns in the Midwest by a pious mother and a reckless, alcoholic, largely absent father. Severely near-sighted, the boy lives in his own world, a world of the popular books of the day, and finds his first brush with popularity, even fame, as a young lifeguard. Thanks to his first great love, he imagines a way out, and makes the extraordinary leap to go to college, a modest school by national standards, but an audacious presumption in the context of his family's station. From there, the path is only very dimly lit, but it leads him, thanks to his great charm and greater luck, to a solid career as a radio sportscaster, and then, astonishingly, fatefully, to Hollywood. And the rest, as they say, is history. Bob Spitz's REAGAN is an absorbing, richly detailed, even revelatory chronicle of the full arc of Ronald Reagan's epic life - giving full weight to the Hollywood years, his transition to politics and rocky but ultimately successful run as California governor, and ultimately, of course, his iconic presidency, filled with storm and stress but climaxing with his peace talks with the Soviet Union that would serve as his greatest legacy. It is filled with fresh assessments and shrewd judgments, and doesn't flinch from a full reckoning with the man's strengths and limitations. This is no hagiography: Reagan was never a brilliant student, of anything, and his disinterest in hard-nosed political scheming, while admirable, meant that this side of things was left to the other people in his orbit, not least his wife Nancy; sometimes this delegation could lead to chaos, and worse. But what emerges as a powerful signal through all the noise is an honest inherent sweetness, a gentleness of nature and willingness to see the good in people and in this country, that proved to be a tonic for America in his time, and still is in ours. It was famously said that FDR had a first-rate disposition and a second-rate intellect. Perhaps it is no accident that only FDR had as high a public approval rating leaving office as Reagan did, or that in the years since Reagan has been closing in on FDR on rankings of Presidential greatness. Written with love and irony, which in a great biography is arguably the same thing, Bob Spitz's masterpiece will give no comfort to partisans at either extreme; for the rest of us, it is cause for celebration.
Bob Edwards, the Great White North's equivalent to H. L. Mencken, remains a singular figure in Canadian journalism. His newspapers, published in Wetaskiwin, Leduc, High River, Strathcona, Winnipeg, Port Arthur, and most famously Calgary, skewered politics, society, and business leaders with a fearlessness and outrageousness rarely seen then, now, or in between. As editor James Martin points out in his illuminating introduction, Bob Edwards seems more modern the farther back in history he recedes; he was the granddaddy of Gonzo Journalism à la Hunter S. Thompson, a freewheeling cultural critic in the spirit of Lester Bangs, a pioneer of satirical reform as evidenced in Frank magazine, and a spoofer of the po-faced reporting of his day in precisely the same way that The Onion is now. Irresponsible Freaks, Highball Guzzlers and Unabashed Grafters features mountains of Edwards's superb aphorisms, a generous helping of his longer and lesser-known works, and some choice items which have never before seen print, as well as miraculous archival discoveries and many cartoons from Edwards's celebrated Eye Opener. It is a welcome addition to the Bob Edwards canon for those who thought they knew everything about him, and an eye-opening introduction to the uninitiated: "He was writing this stuff a hundred years ago!
Bob Funk wanted to be a preacher -- to help people. Instead, he found another way to assist people in need -- finding them jobs. In the past quarter century, he has led Express Personnel Services to become to largest franchised, privately-held staffing company in the United States and has put millions of people to work."--Publisher's description
