"Why Me, God? Why Now?"

Some of the most sincere prayers we can address to God are, "Why, God?," "When, God?," or "How, God?"

Facing our ignorance and lack of understanding is the basis of any ongoing prayer dialogue with God. Consider what happens when we're facing a life crisis -- death, illness, or loss -- and the only kind of prayer we're capable of is a string of questions flung to heaven.

But we can also feel free to ask questions of God in everyday prayer as we look to him for motivation, inspiration, and understanding.

An experienced pastor currently serving as Bishop of Charleston, South Carolina, Bishop Robert J. Baker says a question put to God can be a real sign of faith and trust, especially when we bring those questions to prayer.

This unique aid to prayer and meditation will guide you to the core of your relationship with God and your understanding of his plan for you..

Each year James E. Lukaszewski has the privilege of working with many, many senior and chief executives across the full spectrum of business activity: the corporate sector, government, military, non-profit organizations, and more. One powerful driving concept comes through in each of these settings ƒ{ the gut-level desire to transform the organization, or to transform how the organization thinks; or to transform the attitudes of a group of individuals or customer base. Personal, top executive leadership is the transformational force that energizes people and organizations to achieve big goals. Leadership is a lonely obligation. Every leader, no matter how many followers, is an individual actor, sharing ideas and concepts, mostly verbally, in the hope of producing a result that benefits the operation and the people whose lives those operations affect, and that the goals set are achieved. The question every leader asks repeatedly is 'How can I effectively move the organization forward in some way everyday? When loyalty is at a premium and markets and workplaces seem so unstable, what is the force that brings focus and forward momentum?' There are crucial behaviors important people, successful executives, and true leaders use to move processes and people forward. These behaviors are the key ingredients of leadership. The more of these ingredients leaders take to heart, teach, and expect of others, the more power they will have to achieve their objective. In this monograph Jim shares his 11 behaviors or ingredients, if applied with sincerity, are quite simple, sensible, quite positive, and very doable. He calls them the Be-attitudes of Leadership because they start with 'be' and they are attitude-driven behaviors. Leadership is the strategic force that drives individuals, organizations, cultures, and societies forward every day. Leadership is the discipline of being intentionally constructive with a relentlessly positive approach to helping everyone. With these 11 Be-attitudes of Leadership you can live an important, happy, and successful life..
