Jeffrey and Mindy Bush served as missionaries in Argentina for eight years before Jeffrey became the Director of Vision Baptist Missions in Alpharetta, Georgia. While in Argentina, God allowed Jeffrey to counsel many marriages personally and publicly through the radio and church ministries. He has seen how marriage problems have destroyed homes, brought missionaries home from the mission field and caused many to struggle through life. Having a good marriage is vital to having a good life. His hope is that this book will encourage, strengthen, and help marriages.

The Bible is the most accurate and proven Book of all times. It is in the Bible where we find out about life, work, marriage, friendship, money, and love. God teaches about every subject, and leadership is certainly one. We see leadership taught clearly by way of principle, command, and example. Yet God’s way of doing things is not always how we would guess or imagine. In God’s economy, to be greatest is to be servant, to live is to die, to receive is to give… seems opposite of what we would think in our finite minds. In Leadership Opposite, you will discover what may seem to go against the grain of normal leadership, but these tried and proven principles are God’s way to lead.

God makes a big deal of how we treat others. God’s Word is full of commandments on preferring one another, loving one another, serving one another, honoring one another, helping one another, and thinking of others. Etiquette is the Golden Rule, doing unto others what you would want them to do unto you (Matthew 7:12). As we relate to the people around us, we should so do with the most respect. This book is laid out in such a way as to represent a normal day: walking through the rooms of your house, the workplace, church, and just out and about. I hope this will serve as a kind reminder to show others that they truly do matter to you.

As a newly married couple on deputation Jeff and Mindy read many missionary biographies about men and women of the past. They believed that God is still working miracles on mission fields all around the world, and years later they wrote this book to share some of the amazing things God did in their lives while serving as missionaries in Argentina. Their desire is that young people would read these stories and realize that God can use them today in a great way.

You don’t have to be smart, rich, talented, or well-connected to accomplish much in life, you must simply apply lots of discipline.

Without self-discipline, you will spin your wheels and stay in the same spot. Without self-discipline, all hopes, desires, and dreams are mere wishes. With self-discipline, you will make it further down the road until you reach the desired destination.

Self-discipline is awakening and applying what is needed in order to succeed in life. It is time to reboot self-discipline so you can achieve more. When discipline is applied, almost every area of life is better. It is time you awake the God-given discipline within you. It is time to reboot self-discipline!
