Summary

Gentle Leader Strength challenges conventional views of power by exploring Jesus' model of gentle leadership. This book redefines strength, emphasizing compassion, service, and moral courage over dominance. It delves into the counter-cultural nature of Jesus' approach, particularly within the context of the Roman Empire, where his message of love and humility stood in stark contrast to worldly aggression.

 
Highlighting the values of the Kingdom of God, the book offers an alternative to hierarchical structures often found in both religious and secular settings. The book examines specific examples from Jesus' life and teachings, drawing from Gospel accounts to offer fresh interpretations of familiar passages. It explores Jesus' interactions with the marginalized and his emphasis on service, providing insights into the motivations and implications behind his actions.

 
Connections are made to psychology, leadership studies, and conflict resolution, demonstrating how Jesus' principles align with contemporary research. Structured to introduce gentle strength as an alternative to worldly power, the book progresses through scriptural analysis and practical applications. It culminates by applying these principles to individual lives and broader social contexts, encouraging spiritual growth and actionable change.

 
Gentle Leader Strength uniquely contrasts traditional power dynamics with Jesus' leadership model, offering a practical framework for personal development and effective leadership rooted in Biblical Studies and Religion.

    His pa named him Cain because his birth was a curse… but what happens when he’s the only one who can save the town? 
    Anna Mae Harding never thought getting married would be so hard. It’s not that she hasn’t had any offers. On the contrary, it seems like someone is always asking her to be his wife. The trouble is, she up and fell in love with the wrong man years ago, and no matter how much she tries to forget him, no one else she’s met has measured up. 
    Texas Ranger Cain Whitelaw is happy to leave the town where he grew up behind him forever. Being around his childhood friends stirs up too many old feelings—feelings that are best left buried beneath the cracked desert dirt. The hardest part is seeing Anna Mae Harding. Each time he looks at her, he gets a hankering to sweep her off her feet and carry her to the church for a surprise wedding. But he had too rough of a childhood—and has seen too many things as a Ranger—to ever become a family man. That’s why he’s better off shaking the dust of Twin Rivers from his worn boots and never returning. 
    When one of Cain’s enemies sets his sights on Twin Rivers and threatens both Anna Mae and his friends, Cain finds himself not only returning home, but facing a choice between his duty to the Rangers and the closest thing he has to a family. And he’s not quite sure who will survive the outcome… 
    From jagged mountains and green river valleys, to cattle ranches and vivid sunsets, Tomorrow’s Lasting Joy offers a powerful story about loyalty, love, and the bonds that hold us together through the deepest of trials.

    "It takes both courage and a very clear head for a Catholic theologian to take on any issue regarding sexuality today. Ron Rolheiser succeeds here in a very positive, honest, and helpful way! His approach is brilliantly not sin-centered but value-centered. Bravo!" —Richard Rohr, O.F.M. 
    Celibacy isn't for everyone, but Chastity is!
    
    With infinite wisdom and compassion, Ron Rolheiser gives us a fresh understanding of chastity, not based on repressions, prudishness, or even just sex, but on reverence, patience, and respect for ourselves and others in every area of life, that leads to true love, joy, community, and union with God
    
    These days, it's hard to say the word "chastity" without a cringe. But in this book, beloved teacher Fr. Ronald Rolheiser boldly champions the notion of chastity in its fullest meaning: respect, patience, reverence, and a God-given gift of propriety in every area of life—not just in the area of sex.
    
     
    
    In twenty-four power packed chapters, Fr. Ron compassionately and eloquently elaborates on how we can reclaim the lost virtue of chastity. He spells out the reasons for the death of chastity in our culture, the negative consequences of that has had on our souls and in our lives, the need for a healthy chastity in all areas of our lives, what constitutes that healthy chastity, and its positive consequences—so that we can say the word chastity without a cringe.
    
     
    
    This is a book not just for those believers seeking to live a holier life, but for all those who seek to live the fullest, most authentic life possible. Chastity and the Soul is the guide we all need to come to the realization that in God's eyes, each one of us is holy ground.

    Most of us know the messages delivered by the prophet Isaiah, but do we know the story behind the man? Raised in the king’s palace, Isaiah, unlike other prophets, was given a unique perspective to counsel kings and foretell the coming of the King of Kings.     His family relationships most likely created an internal conflict for him as he delivered the difficult messages Jehovah God had for His people and their kings. Long before Isaiah ever knew the events that would unfold in his life, God had been at work in him to mold and shape him into a man to whom He could entrust this extraordinary assignment.     But don’t lose sight that Isaiah was a flawed ordinary man placed in God-ordered circumstances to be a follower through whom God would accomplish extraordinary things. Through this novella, you’ll discover the heart and character of the prophet called to proclaim the promise of the coming Messiah.
