3:16 THE NUMBER OF HOPE

Thu, 19 Jun 2008 10:44:36 -0700

This resource is a mission of global proportions that invites Christians around the world to unite around the central message of our faith, embodied in the words of John 3:16. This DVD companion production to Lucado's new book, 3:16 The Numbers of Hope , features 12 teaching segments by Max that unpack this timeless message - phrase by enduing phrase. This is for both individual and small group studies. Stories of Hope takes us deeper into what Lucado calls, "the hope diamond" of the Bible; John 3:16. The DVD also features an exclusive short-film written by Max Lucado that tells the ‘prodigal’ story in an inspiring and challenging new way. Wherever You Are tells the story of Katherine, who finds herself far from home in a dance club remembering a more innocent time in her life dancing with her father. Katherine's rebellion and its consequences lead to an inspiring story of forgiveness, grace, and unconditional love.

JOEL BARKER'S WEALTH INNOVATION AND DIVERSITY

Mon, 23 Jul 2007 13:15:59 -0700

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.
