Peter Scazzero

The way we define success is breaking us. And we're being invited into a health. In Emotionally Healthy Success, Peter Scazzero launches a quiet revolution--calling leaders to reject the world's metrics of speed, growth, and applause for Jesus' slower, deeper way. Drawing from hard-won lessons as a pastor and founder of Emotionally Healthy Discipleship, he charts a practical path toward deep transformation--one that reshapes your inner life, your team, and your church for lasting impact. How we define success matters because there are real consequences for getting it wrong. When we measure success by numbers and image, we inevitably invest our best energies in quick returns, short-term fixes, and an anxious search for the next "big thing." In the process, we damage ourselves and those we lead. More importantly, we drift from Jesus' upside-down way--where the first are last, power is found in weakness, and faithfulness counts more than fame. Scazzero invites us into the Jesus revolution of success no one saw coming--a radical reorientation of leadership around his life and teaching. Through four defining reversals, he unveils a new way of leading marked by slowing down, attuning and listening in prayer, embracing limits, and finding God's power in hiddenness rather than charisma or strategy. At the heart of the book lies The Emotionally Healthy Scorecard for Success, a fresh framework drawn from more than thirty years of global ministry. It introduces eight markers for Personal Formation--the inner life of integrity, rest, and surrender--and eight markers for Culture Formation--the outward fruit of emotionally healthy leadership that shapes marriages, teams, and entire congregations. Together, they redefine what fruitfulness and long-term missional impact truly look like in God's kingdom. Finally, Scazzero calls leaders to embrace a Rule of Life strong enough to hold the weight of their calling, recovering the church's ancient monastic DNA for the formation of today's pastors, staff, and volunteers. He then shows how to ruthlessly reset the way we live and lead, putting first things first so that both our personal lives and our communities can flourish. Emotionally Healthy Success is a prophetic yet deeply practical invitation for every kind of leader--from small group leaders to board members to lead pastors--to trade exhaustion for wholeness, image for integrity, and hurried results for fruit that will last for generations.

Peter Scazzero learned the hard way: You can't be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature. In the Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Workbook Expanded Edition, Peter outlines a roadmap for discipleship with Jesus that is powerfully transformative. He unveils what's wrong with our current definition of "spiritual growth" and offers not only a model of spirituality that actually works, but seven steps to change that will help you experience authentic faith and hunger for God. Though Peter was an experienced pastor of a growing church, his life and faith remained emotionally unhealthy. Like so many in the church, he routinely: avoided healthy conflict in the name of keeping the peace ignored and suppressed emotions used work for God as an excuse to run from God lived without limits In this updated and expanded workbook, Peter helps you unpack core biblical principles to guide you into an experience of lasting, beneath-the-surface transformation in your relationship with Christ. The workbook includes session introductions, group discussion questions, application, and between-sessions personal study. This workbook is Part One of the Emotionally Healthy Discipleship Course that also includes the bestselling books, Emotionally Healthy Spirituality and Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day.

Life is both beautiful and disappointing. In Beautiful, Disappointing, Hopeful, Drew Hyun explains how the Christian faith provides a lens through which we can understand the beautiful and disappointing world we live in, while offering the kind of promising hope we long for.Throughout history we have tried to make sense of the world that we inhabit and how we can navigate through the tension of all that is good and broken in this life. Yet most of our attempts to avoid loss simply lead to greater anxiety—an unresolved fear that we will eventually lose what we most love and need. Weaving a rich tapestry of Christian tradition and personal illustrations, Hyun offers Christianity as a true and compelling vision for life that faithfully points the way through loss to true beauty. He presents three deep practices that can build lasting spiritual resilience and help you learn how to grow through life's losses and disappointments.By exploring these contemplative spiritual practices—Gratitude, Grieving, and Grace—as a means of centering your life more fully into a holistic spirituality, you can uncover meaningful responses to the full range of lived experiences that will lead you to a grounded yet transcendent hope.

More. Better. Quicker. Richer. Are the values of our consumer society invading the church? Are we looking for overnight success in following Jesus? For instant godliness? Discipline is not a popular word today, but the disciplined Christian life produces a depth that is life-enhancing, bringing joy and freedom. Christian Disciplines looks not only at the foundational disciplines of the Christian life – the ‘quiet time’, prayer, worship and Bible study – but other crucial disciplines such as evangelism, giving, social justice, managing time and gifts, mission.
