I'm almost halfway with Discovering the God Who Is. RC Sproul continues to remind me of the majesty, greatness, faithfulness & love of God. Here's from the chapter I just finished:

"We must not forget that Jesus was, in human form, the Creator of the world. At any moment in His ministry He could have extinguished the life of those who opposed Him. The world was made by Him, in Him, and for Him. He had the power and authority to alter that creation by eliminating some undesirable rascals. But He chose to humble Himself before those very rascals. He allowed Himself to be arrested, tried, scourged, mocked, and crucified by men whom He could have annihilated with a single glance. That is humility. Acting with less power than one has at his disposal when attacked by another displays an astonishing level of grace. This is the Jesus who is our Lord. It is precisely His mindset that Paul called us to imitate in Philippians 2."

One of the things I enjoy about my work is I get the chance to scan, browse and read our books at OMF Literature, just to get a 'feel' for the themes and kinds of books we have published and to understand how to better market them. Right now, I'm going through our Professional Growth titles - books about leadership, working excellently, teamwork in the marketplace, etc. I'm trying to make a chart of the themes/topics we have addressed in our publications and see what else need to be addressed in terms of working - from entering the workplace to retirement (and sometimes even after retirement) - anything possibly connected with working. Let's see what I come up with.

Interestingly, check out the titles (and guess the themes) of two of our books: 9 Things a Leader Must Do and Never Steal a Paper Clip.
