Purchase options and add-ons
From the author herself:
Welcome to Presence and Potential, Experience Your Higher Self and Live in Wholeness.
Whether you lead in a family, church, office, neighborhood, corporation, or any group, this book provides a practical approach to the most common humanity dynamics.
Become better at regulating yourself, keeping a clear distinction between facts and feelings, and staying empowered in tense situations of any flavor.
In all areas of life and leadership, we create very new ways of being with self and others. This book is full of leadership materials from my lifetime of various sources, including Healthy Congregations, Inc., an organization whose focus is around growing thoughtful leaders.
A congregation, though commonly referred to as a spiritual group, is actually any group that is interacting and united in a common purpose, including relationships and families.
I invite you to open your mind to consider how you are:
- relating
- leading
- developing
- modeling behaviors of all kinds
- all while avoiding any shame, blame, and self-hate.
With honest introspection, unhelpful patterns will be revealed. As we accept our own humanity, we can learn from unhealthy patterns we picked up in the past.
The tools in this book will help you become a better leader in
- your family
- your neighborhood
- your organizations
- your congregation
Learn how to stay on-guard to avoid practicing lower-consciousness, “knee jerk” response to situations. Be mindful to live into the raised-up, empowering response that brings greater connection with others and greater peace within yourself.
Make no mistake, this is deep inner work. This deep work is known as The Greatest Adventure. It is filled with curiosity and wonder at the power we each have to create a fuller and satisfying life, a life where we are present to the now and at our highest emotional level. I invite you to join me on this adventure for yourself!

Her extensive background and specialized training – Seminary, Hoffman Institute, Byron Katie International School, Healthy Congregations and Family Systems, Lombard Mennonite Peace Center, and more – support her in being able to deliver a great deal of information in a profoundly simple, dynamic and attainable way.

A Touching Review for Martha's Pearls:
"First, I am loving Martha’s Pearls! It oozes love, wisdom, insight and humor. But, of course, how could it be otherwise? I find it a masterpiece of deep spiritual insight written in such clear, authentic language that the message goes straight to my heart before I even have time to think about it. Brilliant, my friend! I dare say, you have mastered the teaching style of Jesus: simple, clear, relevant and transformative. Thank you!
Please tell me what the song was that used to close last week's session and if you will, please send the recording of the class too.
Thank you for being BRIGHT Light in my life.
I love you,
Carmen

5.0 out of 5 stars Sooo good for the soul
Verified PurchaseMartha has a way of reminding us of things we already know, but forgot a long time ago or forget on a daily basis! Although there is a leadership theme, the principles can be applied in all aspects of life. Her heart-filled combination of straight talk, humor and insight made this a book that really touched me deeply. It will be a handy guide to refer back to again and again. One juicy insight after another...I read it in one sitting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Making our world a better place…. Heart by Heart!
Verified PurchaseMartha’s wisdom has incredible power when we integrate it into our daily lives. Martha’s presentation in easily relatable and often light hearted ways, is a masterful skill and gift that she shares generously in this book, in her teachings and in her life. The world is a better place thru the hearts and minds of all those who have been influenced by Martha.

5.0 out of 5 stars Martha's Guide to Presence & Potential
Verified PurchaseFor the countless ones whose lives have already been penetrated by the indescribable, delicious wisdom of Martha Creek: this endorsement is not for you. That’s just preaching to the choir!
I am hopeful that this book endorsement reaches far beyond, to those who have not yet met Martha, but who are now about to…. to be inspired to step in and become immersed and guided by one of the most yummy, probative, authentic guides you will ever meet. Grab this book. You’re in good hand with Martha Creek. You won’t be the same. (and that’s a GOOD thing!)
