This book carefully examples the central structure of the gospel and explores the effects the gospel can have in individuals, churches, and the world. Both Christian and non-Christian readers will gain a clearer understanding of the gospel.

A famed historian once noted that, regardless of what you think of him personally, Jesus Christ stands as the central figure in the history of Western civilization. A man violently rejected by some and passionately worshipped by others, Jesus remains as polarizing as ever. But most people still know very little about who he really was, why he was really here, or what he really claimed. Intended as a succinct introduction to Jesus's life, words, and enduring significance, Who Is Jesus? offers non-Christians and new Christians alike a compelling portrait of Jesus Christ. Ultimately, this book encourages readers to carefully consider the history-shaping life and extraordinary teachings of the greatest man who ever lived.

你認為耶穌是誰？對於這個問題，你可能沒有多想過。這是完全可以理解的，畢竟我們談論的這個人出生在一世紀一個不起眼的猶太木匠家庭。祂從未擔任過一官半職，從未掌管過一國之地，也從未帶領過任何軍隊，甚至從未覲見過羅馬皇帝。反而在三年半的時間裏，這位耶穌只是教導人們倫理道德與靈性生命的事，給猶太人 誦讀並講解他們的聖經。如果對祂生平的親眼見證信得過，可以 看見祂也確實做了一些非同尋常的事情，但是耶穌也與當時的權力集團針鋒相對。公開傳道後不久，祂就被羅馬帝國一個握有實權的地方執行官釘在了十字架上。 另外，這一切都發生在大約兩千年以前。那我們為何仍舊談論祂呢？為何這位耶穌如此不容忽視？

My mother had reached her wit's end. She had exhausted every tool known to her and three counselors. It was the summer of 1999 and I was 16 years old. I remember the hatred I had for my mother when she told me I would be spending the summer at my grandparent's farm. I said, "I'm not going." This resulted in a suitcase of my clothes on the front porch. I was told to get in the car, or get out. I remember her exact words, "I love you too much to watch you destroy your life. If you want to continue down this path, do it in someone else's home, not mine. I can't bear to watch. Get in the car or get out." Tonight, 16 years later, I am at that ranch as we prepare to bury the most influential man of my life, my Papaw Joe. As I prepare for the toughest eulogy of my life, I am reading through the journals of a grandmother and grandfather that had unconditional love for a disrespectful, out of control, angry, broken young man. As I thumb through their version of that summer, I think back to my memories of each day. It was indeed the most developmental, attitude changing, heart softening period of my life. I invite you to join me on this journey though the journals of what I call "The 50 Days Of Hay."

Cover art by Robert MorrisWriting is a way of thinking. When I compose poetry, the refining of language, the rhythms and compacted structures and the resultant shaped and cadenced language is a still life that captures an instant of ongoing discovery. Though personal and mysterious, even to me, my writer's life has thrived in part because of those with whom I share drafts of my work and discussions of the books that we are reading. Thank you to my wife and significantly better half, Candace, and to the primary co-conspirator in my "craft or sullen art," Mike Green.

The Bible stands at the heart of the Christian faith. But this leads to an inescapable question: why should we trust the Bible?

"I'm still the same ol' me" is a line from a country song. It should not be your personal or organizational mission statement. Sadly, this line from a country song describes many crews, departments, companies, organizations, associations, schools, careers and lives. Greg Gilbert has found the secret to beating disappointment, discouragement and dissatisfaction. It is simple; "Get Better." We are not here to "keep things as they are." We are here to grow, develop and improve in all aspects of Leadership and Life. We MUST be intentional about "getting better." Improvement is NEVER accidental! Pick an answer. My results, profitability, customer service and morale are; 1. Getting Better 2. Falling behind. There is no "Staying the same" choice. This is not an option. "Getting Better" should be a desired destination for every team member, manager, supervisor, HR Manager, teacher, administrator and association member in this country. The path to "Getting Better" will always lead through Education, Engagement and Accountability. There are no shortcuts. Great speakers and authors do not tell you what to do. They educate, inspire and encourage you to ask yourself two questions; 1. Why am I doing this? 2. Why am I not doing that? That is the Education. Great readers and attendees of conferences, keynotes and seminars will take the next step. They answer these two questions in writing and will implement personally or with their team; 1. When will I stop doing this and what steps will I take? 2. When will l begin doing that and what steps will I take? That is Engagement. Great readers and attendees of conferences, keynotes and seminars will take the final step. They will set follow-up dates to track progress to insure they are "Getting Better." That is Accountability. This book will supply the Education. If the Education is taken through the Engagement and Accountability stages, "Getting Better" is guaranteed. This leads to better results, profitability, customer service and morale. These are the questions; Q. What are you doing to improve your team? Q. What has improved in the last 12 months as a direct result of your actions? Q. What is the Return On Investment for you reading this book or attending a seminar? The answers are in "The Power Of Better." Greg Gilbert has written a book that should be given to every Foreman, Supervisor, Manager, HR Manager and every person in a position of Leadership or influence. They WILL run into the situations covered in this book. Why not learn from Greg's experience? "There's an app for that."(R) - Steve Jobs "There's a chapter for that." - Greg Gilbert This content was taken from presentations where for years, the guarantee was; if you don't pick up something that will help you in Leadership and Life, you do not pay. No refunds were requested.
