Obstacles and setbacks are an inevitable part of life, especially in today's harsh and volatile economy. How can you take the very experiences that could stall or tumble a career and use them to build uncommon success?

Business people like Pete Dawkins, Harvey Mackay, Doris Christopher, and Walter Scott Jr. know that the answer to this question lies in firsthand knowledge of "The Adversity Paradox": working to overcome humble beginnings, lack of knowledge, unexpected setbacks, or any manner of misfortune can be the foundational step in a path to incredible achievement.

While many motivational business books promise easy access to prosperity and power by way of secret insight, quick and easy steps, or "insider tips" that are dubious at best, this book tells it straight. It offers candid accounts from those who have been tested by adversity and illustrates how they have put their misfortunes to good use by gaining business savvy from them.

The paths to success are diverse, but The Adversity Paradox identifies patterns that anyone can study and learn from.

I teach art all the time, everywhere
Format: Kindle
Janice E. is correct in explaining a creative outlook. It's absolutely part of human existence because of who God is, what he has done, and continues to do. This Pandemic has brought home a fact to me. Whatever tries to control our membership in the human race better learn it cannot totally destroy our spirit. I connect the beginning of my day with prayer and writing a short letter to God where I can ask anything and I can then watch for his answers. Then I seek how I might do creative pieces. Yes, it takes perseverance to excell but the spirit that is creative needs to step forward. Janice E., good job by your warmth and friendly encouragement.

Amazing!
Format: Paperback
I had a desire to write but nothing would come to me. Then, I began to read this book. It was a game changer! Three chapters into this book and I began to see scenes in my head for a story I am now writing. It all started to flow out of me and I credit this book for getting that started. Journeying through this book also strengthened my faith and validated that taking time for my talent is not selfish, it’s a form of worship. I highly recommend this book!

Great spiritual guidebook for the creative soul!
Format: Paperback
Janice Elsheimer has written a wonderful guidebook for Christian creatives, helping to unlock and unleash their God given gifts of talent for a purpose much higher than their own artistic satisfaction. Scripture verses anchor the chapters, along with soul-searching exercises, making this a very much needed manual to help spiritually lead creatives to a deeper relationship with The Creator. The dozen people in our first group at our Methodist church in East Texas are really being ignited into creative action and are excited and encouraged each week as they experience their newfound creative DNA being awakened and revealed to them. Bravo and much gratitude to a great book and a great author!

Getting to know me

I have been enjoying this book. It has helped me to reconnect with the God given gifts that I had forgotten about. I like it because it is not just a straight read. You are encouraged to take you time and reflect or take action. I am discovering a sense of purpose.

This book encourages reflection on your God-given talents in the arts. If you've abandoned your talents for any reason-- busyness, lack of confidence, etc.-- this book is a great tool for helping you heal and restore that part of your life for the glory of God. It contains helpful journaling activities and encourages honest, expectant prayer as you go through the journey of awakening your artistic gifts.
