The key to growth as a church, youth ministry, or a business is getting first-time guests to come back. And as any good manager of a hotel, a store, a restaurant, or an attraction knows, the key to getting guests to come back is not actually the rooms or the product or the food itself; it's how guests feel when they're there. It's about hospitality. No matter how much effort and time we spend on excellence--stirring worship time, inspiring sermons, a good coffee blend in the foyer--what our guests really want when they come to our churches is to feel welcome, comfortable, and understood. Written by a church consultant and a hospitality expert, The Come Back Effect shows church, ministry, and even business leaders the secret to helping a first-time guest return again and again. Through an engaging, story-driven approach, they explain how service and hospitality are two different things, show how Jesus practiced hospitality, and invite leaders to develop and implement changes that lead to repeat visits and, eventually, to sustained growth.

Who cares about Public Servants? Brenda Viola does. Why? Because she's walked in your shoes. As a Public Information Officer for a first-ring suburb of Philadelphia, she worked shoulder to shoulder with Municipal Clerks, Librarians, Teachers, Public Works, Parks and Recreation, Building and Planning, Police, Firefighters, Administrators, and Elected Officials. Late-night meetings leading into early mornings and dealing with well-meaning but demanding citizens are just two challenges that can lead to burnout and breakdowns. The Public Servants' Survival Guide is for you - the unsung heroes who directly affect the quality of life in a community. You make a difference and impact people, literally, where they live. This is legacy work and while the work may energize you, the demands on your time, energy, and attention could drain even the most resilient. You may or may not be the City Manager or Board President, but you are the CEO of your own life. Taking care of you will be the smartest thing you will ever do. And this book will help you restore joy in your work AND in your life. Instead of heading toward a breakdown, you'll be empowered to prepare for a breakthrough. ABOUT THE AUTHOR A former news anchor, QVC show host, and PR/Marketing pro, Brenda Viola's professional path has been diverse and fulfilling. Her ten years as an award-winning Public Information Officer for a first-ring suburb of Philadelphia spurred the creation of Municipal Education (ME) Seminars - a professional, skill development and personal growth initiative company that helps government workers reclaim the joy of public service, while avoiding burnout. When Brenda is not speaking at a conference, hosting a webinar, or posting inspirational messages on her 10,000+ member Facebook page (@BrendaViola722), she's singing bad karaoke at the Gulf Gate Moose Lodge in Sarasota, Florida where she resides. Brenda soaks up the year-round sunshine, enjoys a close-knit community of good friends, and relishes downtime to enjoy a good book or don her helmet to join her favorite guy, Mark, on his Harley Davidson.
