This is a new edition of the 2010 chronicle of printer and publisher Steidl, renowned for its photobooks and literature list including Nobel Laureates Günter Grass and Halldór Laxness. Concentric Circles takes us behind the bustling scenes at Steidl in Göttingen, Germany, revealing the surprising realities of bookmaking and personality of Gerhard Steidl, founder of the company in 1968 and described by The New Yorker as "the printer the world's best photographers trust most." The chronicle's first section "Daily Circles" is a log of everyday life at Steidl in 2008 and 2009, full of unexpected details and anecdotes: an urgent fax from Karl Lagerfeld about an elaborate Chanel catalogue, problems on press with Roni Horn's book, Robert Polidori recalling his many visits to photograph the Palace of Versailles... The second section "Artistic Circles" contains in-depth interviews with photographers including Robert Frank, Dayanita Singh, David Bailey and Juergen Teller exploring their experiences making books at Steidl. This paperback edition fea- tures a new introduction by Monte Packham reflecting on life and work at Steidl today, as well as updated artists' biographies.

The debut picture book from the creator of the viral sensation Kid President is a moving take on how we can create bigger and bigger circles of community and connections as we grow—now a New York Times bestseller! In the circles all around us, everywhere that we all go, there's a difference we can make and a love we can all show. This is the story of a circle. When we're first born, our circle is very small, but as we grow and build relationships, our circle keeps getting bigger and bigger to include family, friends, neighbors, community, and beyond. Brad Montague originally created Circles as an Instagram video adorably narrated by his kids, and now this picture book adaptation is the perfect way to start a conversation about how to expand our worlds with kindness and inclusivity—even if it seems scary or uncomfortable. This book makes an ideal new-baby, first-day-of-school, or graduation gift, or any milestone that celebrates someone's world getting bigger.

The issue is church health, not church growth—if your church is healthy, growth will occur naturally. So how do we make healthy churches, driven by purpose? In order for any church to thrive, it must be built around the five New Testament purposes given to the church by Jesus Christ. In this classic of Christian church stability, pastor and bestselling author of The Purpose Driven Life Rick Warren unpacks this proven five-part strategy that will enable your church to grow: Warmer through fellowship. Deeper through discipleship. Stronger through worship. Broader through ministry. Larger through evangelism. Every church is driven by something. Tradition, finances, programs, personalities, events, seekers, and even buildings can each be the controlling force in a church. But Warren will show you how to concentrate on building people and let God build the church. In other words, healthy, consistent growth is the result of balancing the five biblical purposes of the church. And The Purpose Driven Church will show you how to do that. “The Purpose Driven Church has brought focus and direction to more pastors and church leaders than you can count. What a gift!”—John Ortberg, bestselling author.
