I Choose Brave


Book Description

What if fear is the new brave? That's the question that you need answered if you are living afraid. Finding courage begins with fear itself--fear of the Lord. I Choose Brave reveals a countercultural plan to help you where you are--knee-deep in fears of parenting, the future, your marriage, and a world that feels unstable. When you're feeling fearful, the last thing you need is a social-media meme telling you to simply "power through" your fears. In I Choose Brave, Katie Westenberg digs deep into Scripture and shows that finding the courage to overcome our fears must start with fear of the Lord. Hundreds of passages speak to this foundational truth, yet we have somehow relegated them to antiquity. In sharing her own compelling story of facing her worst fear, Katie serves up theological truth with relatable application. In this book, you will · discover a fresh take on an old truth that displaces fear once and for all · understand why the culture's idea of "fearlessness" is a farce · access the holy courage you were made for With this new knowledge comes tremendous freedom. Hidden in the cleft of the Rock, the One truly worthy of our fear, you will begin to understand the only path to real courage.

The E5 formula discussed in The Rule of 5 is both familiar and fresh. It’s a leadership model built in the spirit of ‘standing on the shoulders of giants’, learning from leaders like Konosuke Matsushita, the founder of Panasonic, who put ‘empathy’ and ‘enable’ at the core of his leadership approach; Jack Welch with his 3Es, who then inspired Bob McDonald at P&G to craft his own version of the 5Es; and Jim Collins, who shared his version of Level 5 Leadership in the book Good to Great with execution at the core. The E5 Movement is a call to action to all leaders worldwide to lead with impact. The five Es are: envision, express, excite, enable and execute. These five rules of leadership are both timeless and borderless. The real-life anecdotes, combined with the conversational tone of the book, make this an accessible and impactful read. Thought-provoking and practical, this book will inspire leaders to think about their own leadership, adopting the five Es on their mission to lead their teams to excellence—a true game changer. Pick your five and join the movement! PAUL DUPUIS is the CEO and chairman of Randstad Japan. Paul was formerly the CEO of Randstad India and chairman of HOPE International (JP).
