JESUS—B.O.A.T.—(Bartender of All Time)
by Edward Oh Kim
When it was learned that Edward Oh Kim earned a degree at a theological seminary and almost became an ordained minister at one point in his life, he was prompted by publishers to write about Jesus. In Jesus—B.O.A.T., Edward offers a fresh and provocative perspective on the life of Jesus, as the son of Jewish parents, born to lead the way as a son of humanity. While traditionally, Jesus is mostly written about as a divine being, Edward presents Jesus—the human being through the eyes of a seasoned business leader, who was allowed to ask questions and arrive at conclusions that he was not permitted to when on track to become a spiritual leader. Asked to share his unfiltered thoughts on the church, theology, and his experience of God, as well as spiritual conversations from his own journey in bars, lounges, and cafes, Jesus—B.O.A.T. is a unique narrative where Jesus is presented as the “B.O.A.T.”—(the “Bartender of All Time”), who traversed from bar to bar, offering solace, wisdom, and unconditional acceptance to all who crossed his path. This book challenges conventional views, presenting Jesus as a relatable figure who defies traditional religious categorizations. Jesus—B.O.A.T. is a compelling exploration that emphasizes the importance of authenticity, resilience, and breaking free from societal constraints. It invites readers to discover the divine in the ordinary and to embrace a life of purpose, unencumbered by the lies and limitations imposed by the establishment.
I AM A LEADER
by Edward Oh Kim + David M. Keirsey
In a world flooded with leadership books, I AM A LEADER stands apart as a groundbreaking exploration that challenges conventional wisdom. This book doesn't offer a one-size-fits-all approach but unveils the diverse and multifaceted nature of leaders and their journeys. Through unprecedented research, studying over ten thousand leaders from various backgrounds and personality types, the authors introduce the concept of "Different Kinds of Leaders," each possessing unique qualities and strengths. I AM A LEADER redefines the traditional leadership narrative by debunking the myth that all leaders should exhibit the same essential qualities. Instead, it celebrates the richness of leadership diversity, demonstrating that leaders come in all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. Featuring profiles of the Keirsey 160—a selection of high-performance leaders representing 16 personality types—this book provides invaluable insights into their development, challenges, and successes. I AM A LEADER isn't about telling you what a leader should be; it's about empowering you to become the leader you were meant to be. This book is your companion on a transformative journey of self-discovery and leadership growth, providing the tools and knowledge to embrace your unique leadership style and make a lasting impact in your sphere of influence.
