The Path
Creating Your Mission Statement For Work And For Life
In my own life, I found that once I developed a mission statement that was broad enough to cover my interests and activities both on and off “the job,” my life began to make a dramatic shift. Decision-making came more easily because now I had something against which to measure my activities. I learned firsthand the terror and majesty and power of having an exciting mission statement—one that says “This is what I am about.” I began to shed my fears about losing or not having a job since I knew I would always have my mission, and any job I got would have to be an expression of that. The Path has been designed to help you create your mission for work and life.”

Jesus In Blue Jeans
A Practical Guide To Everyday Spirituality
“As I pondered strengths in Jesus that helped him live so triumphantly, I found that there were four qualities that we, too, can emulate: Poise, Perspective, Passion, and Power.
In each titled section, I present chapters detailing how he lived out these qualities. At the end of each chapter, I have a prayer called Power Connections, because to me that is what prayer really is—a powerful connection with the Source of our being.
When I remember my first encounter with Jesus, it seemed that his eyes were like diamonds held up to the sun—casting light in a thousand directions. I pray that the words in this book will somehow do the same.”

The Four Elements of
Christian Leadership
The Visionary Path.
King David was a man of war, while his son Solomon was a man of peace. Both had the same genetic make up, and yet had very different leadership styles. King David, for example, as a wind/fire, demonstrated highs and lows, great desire for attention and expression as well as tangible accomplishments. Solomon, in contrast, sent gifts to potential enemies, kept very detailed construction records, and always found a way to find a peaceful solution. In this, he demonstrated more of an earth/water personality type. Yet both were kings, serving the same God.
In this book you will take a deeper look at many Biblical leaders you thought you knew. Through learning about them and their leadership styles, you will learn more about your own. You will gain understanding about how to take risk averse waters into territory they might naturally avoid. You will learn how to calm often contentious fire personality types into more harmonious ways of thinking.

The Contessa Chronicles
A New Vision Of Heaven And Earth.
The author of the internationally best-selling Christian classic “Jesus, CEO” and more than a dozen other books on spirituality, Laurie Beth Jones now takes on a new topic of heavenly and earthly concern—that of the role of women. In a fiction work that is in part a prequel to Jesus’ early life in heaven, we learn that he was raised on a Ranch, with a father, mother, and sister named Contessa. It is Contessa’s diary that is found by a grieving girl lost in the wilderness, and as it unfolds the reader encounters a rich cast of characters—some new, and some familiar. In a far-reaching span that covers creation in new and sometimes hilarious ways, Jones asks us to look again at what we think about the image of God, and how we live out.
