They are here.... Three New Books by Kennon L. Callahan, Ph.D.
 
See Books and Works for information on these new resources for you and your congregation

            ..... grace and peace to you from God.... Romans 1:7               
    Your strengths are your compass....
 
             Claim your strengths....gifts....competencies.
                  You claim God's gifts.  
                      You claim your compass for your future.

    Strong, healthy congregations create strong, healthy persons.
        Strong, healthy persons create strong, healthy congregations. 
   
                       

    Your mission focus is your sextant....
                                 

                         With a mission focus we stay on course.
   

    What we have fun doing is God’s way of teaching us our strengths….

        our longings.... our yearnings…. our mission.       


    We live life more richly and fully when we are having fun, 

        in the deepest sense of grace-filled fun.
 
    Have Fun....we develop better objectives when we are having fun.
    When we are too solemn and serious, 
we become tense and tight, nervous and anxious, afraid to make a mistake. 

    We "over plan" and end up doing nothing. 
 
    When we “under plan,” we are more likely to head to the action,  to do something worthwhile.

In the Bahamas, the water is shallow in many places.  There are sand bars and coral reefs abounding.  Most sailors, on occasion, run aground.  The saying is, “the skipper who says he has never run aground, his boat has never left the dock.”

Take them Sailing.... 
    One day he got into a boat with his disciples and said to them,
    “let us cross to the other side of the lake.” So they set sail.       Luke 8:22

Let us set sail....
