BOOK
Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace in His Presence
Sarah Young
$7.92

About this product:
After many years of writing in her prayer journal, missionary Sarah Young decided to "listen" to God with pen in hand, writing down whatever she believed He was saying to her. It was awkward at first, but gradually her journaling changed from monologue to dialogue. She knew her writings were not inspired as Scripture is, but they were helping her grow closer to God. Others were blessed as she shared her writings, until people all over the world were using her messages. They are written from Jesus’ point of view, thus the title Jesus Calling. It is Sarah’s fervent prayer that our Savior may bless you with His presence and His peace in ever deeper measure.

BOOK
Culture Making: Recovering Our Creative Calling
Andy Crouch
$12.35

About this product:
It is not enough to condemn culture. Nor is it sufficient merely to critique culture or to copy culture. Most of the time, we just consume culture. But the only way to change culture is to create culture.

Andy Crouch unleashes a stirring manifesto calling Christians to be culture makers. For too long, Christians have had an insufficient view of culture and have waged misguided "culture wars." But we must reclaim the cultural mandate to be the creative cultivators that God designed us to be. Culture is what we make of the world, both in creating cultural artifacts as well as in making sense of the world around us. By making chairs and omelets, languages and laws, we participate in the good work of culture making.

Crouch unpacks the complexities of how culture works and gives us tools for cultivating and creating culture. He navigates the dynamics of cultural change and probes the role and efficacy of our various cultural gestures and postures. Keen biblical exposition demonstrates that creating culture is central to the whole scriptural narrative, the ministry of Jesus and the call to the church. He guards against naive assumptions about "changing the world," but points us to hopeful examples from church history and contemporary society of how culture is made and shaped. Ultimately, our culture making is done in partnership with God's own making and transforming of culture.

A model of his premise, this landmark book is sure to be a rallying cry for a new generation of culturally creative Christians. Discover your calling and join the culture makers.

BOOK
Where I'm Calling From: Selected Stories
Raymond Carver
$8.93

About this product:
The last story collection published during Carver's life (he died in 1988) contains most of his greatest hits from his earlier books, as well as seven stories that hadn't been collected up to that point. The breadth of the collection makes these 37 stories an extremely complete map of Carver territory, of a particular area of America and of the specific texture of the people Carver writes about -- their difficult attempts at survival in a world where happiness does not arrive wrapped up in neat packages but comes in far more peculiar parcels, if it comes at all.

BOOK
The Complete Idiot's Guide to Cold Calling
Keith Rosen
$8.52

About this product:
Does this sound familiar? "If I can just get in front of more qualified prospects, the rest of the selling process becomes easier. It's just getting in front of them that's the challenge."

You're no idiot, of course. You can talk shop with any customer who enters your store, asks questions over the phone, or seeks out your specific product or service. But when comes to prospecting for new customers, you'd rather have a root canal!

After coaching thousands of salespeople, Keith Rosen, one of America's favorite Sales coaches and trainers, has developed a proven process that anyone could follow to achieve incredible success at attracting more prospects and it's all outlined in his book, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Cold Calling.

The fact is, most cold calling efforts are doomed from the start. Salespeople lose sales not due to a lack of effort but because they lack a prospecting system they are comfortable with and can trust that generates greater, consistent results.

Anyone can generate new business and make more money with the right prospecting system. So, if you love to sell but hate (or don't like) to prospect, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Cold Calling is your roadmap to cold calling success; showing you exactly how to get in front of the right prospects in less time and create more selling opportunities without the fear, pressure or anxiety associated with cold calling, prospecting or self-promotion. In this guide, you get:

* Tools, templates and strategies to create your own painless prospecting and follow-up system that will attract new prospects-and convert them into sales.
* Advice on how to find the best prospects-and avoid those who aren't qualified.
* Suggestions on coping with rejection, boosting your self confidence, eliminating call reluctance, managing a healthy prospecting mindset, and ensuring prospects will listen to what you have to say.
* Methods for establishing a rapport with prospects, understanding their needs, and getting them interested in how your product or service will benefit them.
* The hidden secrets of effective networking and to generating a steady stream of referrals.
* An infallible follow-up system that will keep your name in front of each prospect and protect you from losing sales to your competitors, up until the time they are ready to buy so that you never "Drop the ball" again.

You will also discover how you can:

* Create your MVP (Most Valuable Proposition) that separates you from your competition.
* Craft the compelling reasons that would motivate a prospect to speak with you.
* Prevent and defuse initial objections such as, "I'm not interested," "We don't have any money now" or "Call me back later."
* Develop the right questions and uncover new selling opportunities in seconds so that you can stop wasting precious time on the wrong prospects.
* Compose winning voice mail messages that will ensure more return calls.

So, whether you are an entrepreneur, a business owner, a non-selling professional, a seasoned sales veteran or are just beginning your career in sales, after reading this book you will actually want to prospect!

BOOK
Callings: Finding and Following an Authentic Life
Gregg Michael Levoy
$4.99

About this product:
How do we know if we're following our true callings? How do we sharpen our senses to cut through the distractions of everyday reality and hear the calls that are beckoning us?

is the first book to examine the many kinds of calls we receive and the great variety of channels through which they come to us. A calling may be to do something (change careers, go back to school, have a child) or to be something (more creative, less judgmental, more loving). While honoring a calling's essential mystery, this book also guides readers to ask and answer the fundamental questions that arise from any calling: How do we recognize it? How do we distinguish the true call from the siren song? How do we handle our resistance to a call? What happens when we say yes? What happens when we say no?

Drawing on the hard-won wisdom and powerful stories of people who have followed their own calls, Gregg Levoy shows us the many ways to translate a calling into action. In a style that is poetic, exuberant, and keenly insightful, he presents an illuminating and ultimately practical inquiry into how we listen and respond to our calls, whether at work or at home, in our relationships or in service. Callings is a compassionate guide to discovering your own callings and negotiating the tight passages to personal power and authenticity.
