The Tribulation is past, and Satan has been cast into hell for a thousand-year sentence, as prophesied in the Bible. Christ, in His resurrected body, rules from Jerusalem over the resurrected of the ages and the mortal survivors of the Tribulation. The people of the earth begin a thousand-year victory celebration, delighting in what should have been from the beginning, on a regenerated Earth.Mortal lifespans are increased-humanity has no fear of savage animals, crime, disease, starvation. The Spirit of God courses through every mind. Children are born to the mortals, and the earth is repopulated. But these new generations, free of Satan, still have free will. They still feel the temptations of the flesh and of the world to beguile, bend, break their relationship with their Father, and the Holy Book warns of Satan's final return, the last gathering of his people, and war upon the earth.How will good people of free will protect their faith against the unknown strategies and wiles of an enraged Satan? Can rebellious mortal minds be turned back to God before Satan is freed to make his last stand? Who will be among Christ's last harvest?

Behind many of the challenges facing us today is a failure of leadership. This is not a new problem. Yearning for wise guidance and effective authority is a perennial human longing. We need leaders who are credible, competent and committed. But many leaders seem to be caught up, even consumed, with their own power and agendas. Some see the leadership crisis as an intellectual problem, believing we lack a clear theory of leadership. Others view the breakdown of leadership as a result of increasing deficiency in moral character.Most leadership books today revolve around the concepts of motivation, inspiration, empowerment, and teamwork. Helpful as these themes might be, they miss something more fundamental. Leadership needs a theological foundation, that will be useful for shaping the undergirding principles, and evaluating current leadership theories and practices. We need to view leadership from the vantage point of God.In Rooted Leadership, John E. Johnson explores how Christian theology provides an overarching leadership framework and applies that theory to leadership practices. Spiritual reflection, guided by scripture, points us to the very center of leadership--God--and the purpose of leadership--that we might display his glory. All the best forms of leading take their cues from who God is, his purposes, and his ways of working with people that he has progressively revealed.Building on three decades of research, study, and experience as a global leader, Johnson surveys the landscape of contemporary leadership theory, unpacks the assumptions and beliefs that underly current trends, and responds by offering a robust approach to leadership, founded on the character, work, and words of God.

The Byzantine Empire, one person's past, another's present, and still another's future. He came like a thunderclap into this golden kingdom. Woden, the warrior from the land of the steppe, one whose very name carried with it the stories of glorious battle, came into this world with a lust for blood and high adventure. This godless man who feared nothing, and wanted nothing, left something to this ever changing worldtwo sons.One was born within the wealth and privilege of the Byzantine Empire, another outside the empire, within a primitive forest world of farmers, hunters, and simple industries. And much like their father, they learn that life is confrontation and violence. And in the midst of this deceit, lies, manipulation, clever philosophies, brutal force, chaos and fear they must find their birthright of strength if they are to survive, to conquer, and to endure a life beyond their doorway to manhood.

"You will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man" (John 1:51 HCSB). When Jesus spoke these mysterious words to Nathanael, He was announcing a new order: life will no longer be the same. And just as the early believers needed a theology to strengthen their souls and steady their nerves in their turbulent times, we too need to know that the abundant life under the opened heaven John describes is not just conceivable--it's a promise.In subsequent conversations in John's gospel, Jesus unpacks the implications for those willing to step into the life of Christ. Drawing from these conversations, John E. Johnson points out clear applications still useful for our modern lives--handling conflicts with family, overcoming cultural barriers, resisting consumer pressures, and facing life's disappointments. If you're tired of living a confined life, frustrated by failure, or starving in the midst of plenty, these conversations in John assure you: life doesn't have to stay small. There is a whole new world made possible under God's open heaven.
