Giveaways / Free Stuff Fridays Collection cover image

Free Stuff Fridays
This week’s edition of Free Stuff Fridays is sponsored by Bethany House Publishers. They are giving away some pretty good prize packages that include an autographed copy of Al Mohler’s new book The Conviction to Lead, easily one of my favorite books of 2012. There will be five winners this week, and each of them will receive the following:

Here’s a short description of Mohler’s book:

Cultures and organizations do not change without strong leadership. While many leadership books focus on management or administration, the central focus of The Conviction to Lead is on changing minds.

Dr. Mohler was the driving force behind the transformation of Southern Seminary from a liberal institution of waning influence to a thriving evangelical seminary at the heart of the Southern Baptist Convention. Since then he has been one of the most prominent voices in evangelicalism, fighting for Christian principles and challenging secular culture.

Using his own experiences and examples from history, Dr. Mohler demonstrates that real leadership is a transferring of conviction to others, affecting their actions, motivations, intuition, and commitment. This practical guide walks the reader through what a leader needs to know, do, and be in order to affect change.

You can enter the giveaway through this form. (If you don’t see anything, try refreshing your browser)

Giveaway Rules: As soon as the winners have been chosen, all names and addresses will be immediately and permanently erased. Winners will be notified by email. The giveaway closes Saturday at noon.

    TGC, AI, and the Democratization of Competence

    TGC recently shared its policy for writers and the use of AI. Christianity Today did the same. In this article, I reflect on a new institutional/individual divide and consider how, just like blogs democratized influence, AI might democratize competence.

    Don’t Be Ashamed to Be Old

    Have you ever considered that many of the grandest things in this world are old? There is something to be said for those things that are new and young and fresh. But don’t we all have a certain level of respect and a special kind of awe for what is ancient?
