48 Days to the Work You Love is not about finding a new job. It is about finding out what you are going to “be.” According to Dan Miller, failing to make that fundamental discovery is why so many people find themselves in jobs they hate. But the great news is this book will lead you to the vocation you will love.

As a leading vocational thinker, Dan Miller helps you better understand and organize your God-given skills, personality traits, values, dreams, and passions. In turn, you’ll see clear patterns forming from which you can make successful career and job decisions. With creativity, insight, and timeless wisdom, 48 Days to the Work You Love presents a step-by-step process for creating a Life Plan and translating it into meaningful and fulfilling daily work.

Still deciding what you want to be when you grow up? Whatever your age, let Miller guide you to the vocation you long for! Learn the God-given talents, personality traits, values, dreams, and passions that are your compass to follow. Includes career-search tools, a step-by-step process for creating your life plan, and more.

As a pastor, you are not immune to the career struggles of midlife. The pressures of your ministry, the dynamics of your congregation, and the challenges to stay devoted can easily weigh you down. At times like these, the tendency is to slow down, retire, or stop growing. What’s worse, these symptoms are hard to detect, and their effects are destructive to both you and your church. But there is a way to rediscover your call to serve God with passion and focus. With candid insights and personal examples, longtime pastor Gary Fenton will help you overcome the changes in your ministry, help you use your gifts to their full potential, and revitalize your confidence in your calling.

Is your professional commitment wavering? Do you just want to get the job done and go home? Find fresh energy and creativity for your life and work by imitating the example of Sanborn’s postman, “Fred.” Four Bible-based principles will help you make a difference every day, excel in your career, and make your daily life extraordinary. 114 pages, hardcover from Waterbrook.

This book will create a pathway to minimize the stress and confusion of seeking the right job. It presents a comprehensive three-stage program for discovering your calling, turning that calling into a career, and sustaining your passion once you’re in the job of your dreams. Grounded in Biblical wisdom, yet highly practical, this book is packed with field-tested advice, worksheets, self-assessments, and creative questions for action and reflection. It will become a trusted “owner’s manual” for a lifetime of meaningful work.

On the subject of living a life on purpose, passion and peak performance, nobody tells it better than Zig Ziglar. In Better Than Good, Zig goes several steps beyond other “success” books by not only helping the reader get motivated, but stay motivated by confronting and transforming the things that stand in their way. Written in Ziglar’s trademark style, this book isn’t just about success now, excellence tomorrow or even motivation for next month, but about making a lasting impact – an impact that goes beyond financial gains and creative partnerships. Everything we are and do, he says, must be seen in the bigger perspective of continuously investing your spirit, mind and spiritual vision for what life can be when we allow the power of purpose and passion to permeate our soul.

Based on the authors’ decades of work as executive coaches and leadership trainers, the insights, real life anecdotes, and exercises in Who Are You and What Do You Want? allow readers to shape their own unique life plan, tailored to their own needs and to gain clarity about their purpose, passions, and values.

Everyone wants to make a difference in the world, but most have no idea how to maximize their impact. In The Encore Effect, best-selling author and leadership expert Mark Sandborn provides the answer. He leads readers in six practices that will move them beyond excellence to distinction and from mundane to memorable. These principles guide readers to draw on their passion and devote themselves to preparation, practice, presentation, polishing, and finally, avoiding pitfalls. When readers follow these principles they will find that people are attracted to them. More importantly, they’ll find that they now have an influence over others that can impact lives for eternity.
