John C. Maxwell Developing the Leaders Around You: How to Help Others Reach Their Full Potential 6 studies Why do some people achieve great personal success, yet never succeed in building a business or making an impact in their organization? John C. Maxwell knows the answer. The greatest leadership principle that I have ever learned in over twenty-five years of leadership, says Maxwell, is that those closest to the leader will determine the success level of that leader. It s not enough for a leader to have vision, energy, drive, and conviction. If you want to see your dream come to fruition, you must learn how to develop the leaders around you. Whether you re the leader of a nonprofit organization, small business, or Fortune 500 company, Developing the Leaders Around You can help you to take others to the limits of their potential and your organization to a whole new level.

Brett Eastman Growing in Christ (Experiencing Christ Together) 6 studies Our world these days is so hectic, so complex. Where do we turn for wisdom and guidance in navigating the ins and outs of life? There are many voices to listen to and many examples to follow, but we really need look no further than the Author of Life, Jesus. He taught and lived a way of life that was purposeful and pleasing to God. These six sessions will show you the value and the nature of a life of discipleship, as modeled by Jesus. Experiencing Christ Together helps your group explore the five biblical purposes that make up a highimpact Christian life ---fellowship, discipleship, ministry, evangelism, and worship. Jesus perfectly lived out God's purposes for his life, and he taught his followers how to do the same. As you walk in the footsteps of those first disciples by listening to and watching Jesus through these studies, you and your group will be transformed. One small group leader put it this way: 'The Experiencing Christ Together series has motivated me more than any other Bible study that I have ever been to. This Bible study gets to the heart of the matter---my character in Christ---and that has created action on my part.' Focus Study Discipleship and Mentoring (Alphabetically) April 13, 2014 page 4
