Choices Are Yours: How Values-Driven Choices Change Lives

Robert J. Turley

Topeka Bindery, 1997

Outstanding Work
This wonderful book is based on some simple, yet profound and far-reaching, convictions. The first is that the title of the book means much more than that we have many choices in front of us from which we have the luxury of picking. More importantly, it means that the choices are ours not just before we make them but even more so after we make them; the choices continue to be ours through ...

Values-Driven Leadership: Discovering and Developing Your Core Values for Ministry

Aubrey Malphurs

Baker Books, 1996

Leadership Values are key to any ministry's success
As a single adult pastor, I have been looking for a book that would be a guide in casting a vision for our ministry for the next 1, 3, and 5 years. Values Driven ministry does an excellent job of taking the reader back to see what drives a God-given vision--it is our biblically based values. (I strongly suggest you also read Malphurs' book: Developing a Vision for Ministry in the 21st ...

Rick Warren

Zondervan, 2005

A MUST READ!!! VERY SPIRITUAL & MOTIVATING!!!
I must say that I was not a very spiritual person until now. I have gone to several churches over many of my 41 years and not one has delivered the message to me that this book has. This book has saved my relationship and given me a completely different perspective on life. I am so interested in learning more about God and have plans to read the entire Bible within the next year. I have ...

I eventually want to start my own apparel business, but I know the industry is rife with ethical abuse. Because of this, I want to run a business that does as little harm and as much good as possible. Until a few weeks ago, I was not sure how to bring that ideal to practical fruition. After receiving "Values-Driven Business" from someone who works for a socially responsible company, many of my ...

The Engine That Could: Seventy-Five Years of Values-Driven Change at Cummins Engine Company

Jeffrey L. Cruikshank, David B. Sicilia

Harvard Business School Press, 1997

Well written, interesting book
Yes, I have also read Diesel's Engine by Lyle Cummins, the youngest son of Clessie Cummins, the co-founder of Cummins Engine. If, in reading DE, I am a proven crazy person, then I am, so discount what I say next. If one is fascinated by diesel engines, then this is a "must read." I have not completed the book yet, but having read 300 or so pages and I must say there is much beyond the engines. ...

Townsend Hoopes

Random House Value Publishing, 1994

Excellent biography except for chapter on Forrestal's death.
I was impressed with this book's scholarship, but after looking into the sources for the chapter on Forrestal's death, I have had some second thoughts. James Forrestal fell from a window of the 16th floor of the Bethesda Naval Hospital in the wee hours of the morning of May 22, 1949. The authors relate numerous details of the Forrestal's actions prior to his going out the window, but none of ...

Donald J. Eckenfelder CSP

Government Institutes, 1996

Best safety book I've read; great read for those who lead.
A practical, easy to read and understand book. Author has over 30 years as a safety professional. This is one of the few books that I have read that gets to the real issues underlying safety - behavior and attitudes of people. Author indicates that one must lead a safety improvement effort just like one would lead any other improvement effort ... there are no quick fixes, only a lot of ...
