In our postmodern, experience-oriented culture, people are longing for greater authenticity, integrity, and depth in their pastors and leaders. Board directors, church members, and staff alike are all eagerly seeking leaders who effectively integrate their spirituality and leadership. Pastors and executives, however, often struggle with knowing how to integrate their spiritual values and practices into their leadership and management roles. Designed for pastors, executives, administrators, managers, coordinators, and all who see themselves as leaders and who want to fulfill their God-given purpose, The Spirit-Led Leader addresses the critical fusion of spiritual life and leadership for those who not only want to see results, but who also desire to care just as deeply about who they are and how they lead as they do about what they produce and accomplish. Geoffrion creates a new vision for spiritual leadership as partly an art, partly a result of careful planning, and always a working of the grace of God

Pastor Paol believes his greatest accomplishments are his families' altruistic and charitable work. They were able to revamp a high crime area from drugs, prostitution, neighborhood shootings, and jersey barriers. They succeeded in bringing five and half million dollars in low income tax credit to revitalize an historic site. Today he considers himself a priest for those without spiritual guidance to the Lord. God called to do His biding a bare foot little boy from a very small country in the smallest of small towns. A child that never heard of God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit nor was taught the tenants of Christianity. He was ostracized by his mother's family, given up by his mother and abandoned by his father. The love of his father's brother and mother shielded him from desperation and despair. God sent His holy angel to discipline an ignorant blasphemer by force. Then the Lord stepped off His throne to bring someone in darkness into His marvelous light. The Living God introduced Himself as God of all and spoke to Paol face to face, clothed in pristine impenetrable light. The living God confirmed the order of His character as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit then called Pastor Paol to the priesthood. Pastor Paol is a husband, father and grandfather; a man called by God face to face with angels and mankind as witnesses at the tender age of six years old. He is a relative of the former Governor General of Jamaica The Most Honorable Sir. Howard Cooke, a friend of Queen Elizabeth Alexandra Mary II. He is a licensed Judao-Christian Priest. He is trained in biomedical, telecommunication engineering, orthopedics, neurophysiology and mastery in martial science. He owned several businesses, inthe arts, retail sales, broker dealer, real estate and legal brokerage.

A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.
