THE CALL- Finding and Fulfilling the Central Purpose of Your Life
Os Guinness
"The Call" continues to stand as a classic, reflective work on life's purpose. Best-selling author Os Guinness goes beyond our surface understanding of God's call and addresses the fact that God has a specific calling for our individual lives.

"Why am I here? What is God's call in my life? How do I fit God's call with my own individuality? How should God's calling affect my career, my plans for the future, my concepts of success?" Guinness now helps the reader discover answers to these questions.

According to Guinness, "No idea short of God's call can ground and fulfill the truest human desire for purpose and fulfillment." With tens of thousands of readers to date, "The Call "is for all who desire a purposeful, intentional life of faith.

Includes study guide in back of book- relevant to each chapter. Perfect for group or individual study.

REFLECTIONS ON PSALM 23 FOR PEOPLE WITH CANCER

DVD0370
Ken Curtis, founder and president of Gateway Films/Vision Video and Christian History Institute, was diagnosed with advanced cancer with little prospect for survival. He pursued a combination of traditional and alternative medicine, undergirded by a strong spiritual dimension and prayer support team. Psalm 23 was a vital part of his spiritual component, and for this video Curtis went to Israel to be with the shepherds, travel "through the valley of the shadow of death," and explore and enjoy the healing powers of the green pastures and still waters.

JOEL BARKER'S WEALTH INNOVATION AND DIVERSITY

DVD0264
This video takes you on a journey around the world to understand a fundamental truth: Without diversity, there can be no innovation. Without innovation, there can be no new wealth. Therefore, diversity is the key to creating wealth for all. Diversity is not just the right thing to do, it's your source of greatest potential. Joel Barker shares how organizations that do not reap the benefits of diversity are destined to stagnate and, eventually, fail. Lessons are taught against such backdrops as Machu Picchu's ruins, a farm in Ireland, skyscrapers in Singapore and the forests, mountains and plains of America. Drawing from history, science and innovations of organizations and nations, Barker introduces a new premise for thinking and understanding diversity and a compelling need for change, offering a new vision for the 21st Century. He also explores the advantages of diversity and its role in our lives and world, bringing a conclusion with a call-to-action for every organization and individual.
Includes CD-ROM for PowerPoint presentation with ready-to-use workshop materials.
