Book Description

Integrity embraces honesty and moral uprightness. It is the quality of a true leader, who walks the talk, whose words and actions are in harmony, and who keeps his promises. Ultimately, it is not the brilliant person who wins the respect of the people but the one who lives a life consistent with moral values and principles. Stories of Integrity features Chinese historical figures regarded as models of integrity because of their high moral standards. The historical era may be different, but the temptations are the same: the challenge of integrity over quick gains, bribes and a lavish lifestyle to upkeep a public front. The principle of integrity rests on the principle that ultimately, all secret deeds will be exposed: "Heaven knows, earth knows, you know, and I know."

Book Description

Creation of the Gods, a Chinese literary classic, ranks among great works such as The Three Kingdoms, Water Margin and Journey to the West. It relates the struggle between the forces of King Zhou, the despotic last ruler of the Shang Dynasty, and Jiang Ziya, the legendary commander and strategist who helped found the Zhou Dynasty in the 11th century BC. The ensuing battles were a spectacular drama featuring enlightened priests, immortals, spirits, demons, kings and generals. Astride exotic animals or soaring on clouds, the forces duelled with a formidable array of magic weapons that will captivate the reader from the beginning to the end. There is no better way to rediscover the saga of the infamous King Zhou and his vixen-concubine, and how they got their just desserts from the army of King Wu of the Zhou Dynasty.

Book Description

In the new film COURAGEOUS (from the makers of Fireproof), four police officers are confident and focused when it comes to facing danger on the job. But leading their families at home in a God-honoring way? That takes courage. Because it is important to take a faithful, fearless stand in so many areas of life, pastor and COURAGEOUS executive producer Michael Catt offers Courageous Living as a closer look at biblical themes and characters that inspired the greatly anticipated movie. Catt brings fresh insight to "stories of people in the Bible who displayed great courage when it would have been easier to play it safe... (who) challenge me to keep moving forward. They demand that I examine my priorities and deal with anything that brings fear to my heart." Readers will catch a new wind of bravery in the bold accounts of Abraham ("The Courage to Get Going"), Nehemiah ("The Courage to Face Criticism"), and Ruth ("The Courage to Face an Uncertain Future"). There are also growth opportunities in the stirring stories of Moses, Elijah, Joshua, Daniel, Gideon, Nehemiah, Stephen, and Paul and Timothy.
