11 Innovations in the Local Church
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Preserve the essence; change the form. We live in a time when it seems history is moving beneath our feet like a rolling sidewalk; even the status quo is in motion! This book looks at 11 church types, explains the innovations, gives examples and then reviews pros and cons of each innovation so that readers can consider whether to look further into the innovation— or, if it is not for them, to be more understanding toward those who want to implement those innovations.”
Work, Money & Leadership
“Having written five books about the seasons of life, I can tell you that necessary endings are the hard part. Henry Cloud is a wise, experienced, and compassionate guide through these turbulent passages.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Every time I talk to Wayne Cordeiro, I am inspired and enthused about what God is doing through his church in Hawaii. Doing Church as a Team is easy to understand and easy to apply. Every church leader should read this book.”
Women
“Nancy Beach invites you to learn from her journey as a gifted leader. She is forthright about the barriers for women in leadership positions and honestly shares her successes and failures. What Nancy has learned along the way would fill a book on leadership and management for women … and men. I highly recommend it.”
Work, Money & Leadership
“A path-breaking book in every way. This book shows you how to live your faith in your world—without ducking, without offending. Follow the path and be changed in every way.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“This is a landmark book for churches and change. Effecting change is never easy in congregations. Leading Congregational Change is a practical guide for congregational leaders that includes spiritual wisdom and its application from the best thinkers of our day.”
Men
“Howard Hendricks is always worth listening to. Having benefitted in a life-changing way from being mentored by a man thirty years my senior, I can recommend mentoring enthusiastically. Men of Influence gives you a valuable "how to" guide to the process.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Money does matter! In this excellent book by Aubrey Malphers and Steve Stroope, you will be exposed to both the solid biblical principles and sound financial practices necessary for effective growth in a church of any size. With years of experience in both the academy and the development of a large church, they know what they are talking about. Don’t miss out.”
World Religions
“At the core of my being, I am passionate and committed to getting big kingdom results. So is Neil Cole. In his latest book, Organic Leadership, you will find many additional insights and tools to help you and your church expand your kingdom reach.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Mike Foss, a leader who understands change and the church, gives us the how to and the why to of a fresh way of approaching ministry. For the tired, this is regenerating. For the stuck, this is transforming.”
Evangelism & Missions
“I have known and admired Bob Roberts for years. He is a leader in the movement to convert belief to action and proclamation to credible demonstration. Roberts is bold. He is adventurous. And he’s biblical. He is a consummate connector. Real-Time Connections forges a new path as Christianity addresses a globalized world. It is well worth reading.”
Second Half for the Man in the Mirror
Men
“Morley’s analogy of the ‘midlife lake’ is worth the price of the book. He asks the right questions and rightly predicts that your ‘second half’ can be the most significant part of your life.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Here’s a fresh point of view from a real-life serial innovator on a subject everyone talks about but few get right.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“leader’s leader.” He has been delivering kingdom results for a couple of decades through the ministry of North Coast Church. Sticky Teams unlocks the secret of building effective leadership at every level. This is a must-read book for any leader.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Carolyn Weiss and Russ Crabtree have done churches a great service in breaking the curious silence about pastoral transition, perhaps the most serious threat to churches in the less institutionalized twenty-first century world. Here you will find the reality-based principles that lead to strategic succession.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“The future of the church in North America hinges on innovators like Dan Kimball and the ideas presented in this book. Vintage Christianity can be applied to new and existing congregations to help reach the next generation.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Sue Mallory, perhaps the country's leading practitioner, shows that way forward from proclamation to demonstration to the church's next season. You will find here a remarkable balance of pragmatics and deeply rooted passion -- both the way to and the how to. An enormously useful book.”
