John C. Maxwell

At one time or another, every Christian goes through a period which is referred to as a "desert experience"?a time when they feel forsaken by God, in doubt about what God would have them do, a period of darkness of the soul. Many, during those times, feel they are alone in this experience, but this thought-provoking book shows readers that they are not alone?that in fact, many well-known Christians have been there also. Featuring personal testimonies from each contributor, The Desert Experience offers readers encouragement and valuable lessons from those who have made it through the "desert"?lessons of hope, humility, goodwill, and the sovereignty of God?all lessons necessary for the maturing of a Christian.

Bestselling business and leadership author John Maxwell shows how the key distinction between high achievers and ordinary individuals lies in their mindset toward adversity—and their ability to respond with resilience. Leaders are drowning in problems instead of developing problem solvers. When the ground keeps shifting under your feet, you don’t need another “hustle harder” manual—you need a map and a lantern. Maxwell’s The Resilient Leader is both. The Resilient Leader reframes adversity as a teacher, not a threat. It equips leaders to: ­Maximize positive benefits from negative experiences. ­­Move past old reactionary habits that fail to exploit adversity. ­Overcome fear and to champion the necessary changes for success. Reframe and view setbacks as temporary and solvable. Empower teams to become problem solvers and to welcome risk. Lead change by modeling courage, transparency, and conviction, so that others follow. This highly readable and motivational book is quickly thought-provoking. It’s filled with practical strategies as well as inspiring stories curated and blended from Maxwell’s bestselling books Failing Forward and The Difference Maker to create a powerful and memorable message. Leaders will gain confidence to act amid ambiguity. To move from fear to forward motion, chaos to clarity, and from setbacks to momentum. Key Takeaways and Why They Matter Adversity is unavoidable; this book prepares leaders to respond, not react. Failure is a process, not an event; this book reduces fear and increases intelligent risk-taking. Change starts inside; culture transformation precedes performance gains. Problems are temporary and solvable; this book builds agency and momentum. It’s never too late to change; this book expands on who can lead and when. Successful people embrace challenges as opportunities for growth, while average individuals often falter under pressure. Maxwell explains how this powerful difference in perception and action drives exceptional results.

Silence your inner critic and discover your inner wisdom • Explores how to listen to your thoughts, body, emotions, intuition, and other people from a place of neutral self-assessment • Explains how most of us respond to the world automatically based on mental habits • Shares journaling exercises and mindfulness practices to enhance intuition and recognize limiting beliefs, biases, shadows, and weaknesses Without realizing it, most of us tend to respond to the world automatically. We react based on habit and our memories, rather than what our senses, bodies, emotions, intuition, or the people around us are conveying. Ismael Cala explores how you can break free from these mental habits and discover the wisdom of your own inner voice. Cala explains how to cultivate deeper self-awareness, enhance intuition, and become more mindful through the art of non-judgmental listening. Drawing upon examples from his own life, as well as journaling exercises and mindfulness practices, he explores ways to listen to your inner dialogue from a place of critical self-reflection and neutral, loving self-assessment. He explains how to observe your thoughts as passing clouds and not identify with them, as well as how to recognize limiting beliefs, biases, shadows, and weaknesses. Examining the connections between the mind, heart, and body, the author considers how emotions affect our physical well-being and how they can hinder our thoughts and reactions. By learning to listen to your body, you can better interpret what pain, discomfort, or stress may be signaling. The author also shares strategies for listening to others with empathy for better communication and stronger relationships. With inspiring success stories and practical methods to strengthen your intuition, this book shows how tuning in to your intuitive voice can lead you to a more balanced and fulfilling life.

A positive attitude comes easy in times of joy and progress. But the real test of character comes during times of turmoil and conflict--which are always just on the horizon. When the skies above appear stormy, how will you steer that internal plane we call attitude? In How High Will You Climb? bestselling author and pastor John C. Maxwell emphasizes that even in the worst of storms, we are never flying solo. With God supporting our approach in every challenge that comes our way, we have the power to choose--yes, choose--the attitude we take with us on our journey. Oftentimes our outward expression and attitude during conflict is every bit as critical as the inward struggle, and our approach to the struggles in our family, in work, in life in general will actually determine the outcome more than the actual struggle. The choice is yours--when your path brings you through your next storm, how high will you climb?
