Feels Like Home

Church Leadership & Ministry

“What a great read Lee Eclov has given us—it's readable, inspirational, and practical. The title of the first chapter pretty much says it all: "You Can't Feel at Home in an Organization." With all the past church emphasis on leadership, management, and organizational theory, it's easy to forget what the church has been called to do, that is to create a family environment where God's people, using their God-given talents and abilities, can share the gospel. In these circumstances evangelism becomes second nature, not a duty that makes many break out in a cold sweat. There's good theory here and lots of practical tips you can use to make your church feel like home. Give it a try.”

Intentional Churches

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Many churches are floundering. This book underscores what is desperately needed: a return to the fundamentals of the Great Commission. It still works because it’s God’s plan!”

Lead Like Jesus Revisited

Work, Money & Leadership

“I had the pleasure of hosting at our church one of Ken Blanchard and Phil Hodges’s Lead Like Jesus Celebrations. What an impactful day that was for those who participated. I know they will never think about leadership in the same way again. Reading Lead Like Jesus will provide you with that kind of experience. Don’t miss learning from the greatest leadership role model of all time.”

Son, We Need to Talk

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Don’t read this book if you are too proud to cry, because it will soften your heart and make you weep. Don’t read this book if someone you love took their own life and you prefer to grieve alone, because LeRoy Lawson, who has been there, will come alongside to comfort you. Don’t read this book if you have put God in a box, because this book will expand your concept of God’s amazing grace and healing power.”

Visit the Sick

Church Leadership & Ministry

“What should I say? How long should I stay? Why should I go? What should I pray? What if the person is dying? What if they’re not a Christian?” These are just a few of the many apprehensions people have about visiting the sick. Brian Croft gives practical assistance that should eliminate feelings of inadequacy and motivate us to fulfill Christ’s commission, “I was sick and you visited me.” A biblically based, highly practical manual for Christian caregivers, this insightful book can be read in just a few minutes, but its down-to-earth counsel will equip you to confidently visit the sick for years to come.”
