Don't Burn Out, Burn Bright

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Faced with the demands of life, family, and ministry, pastors are burning out at a seemingly higher rate than ever before. In Don’t Burn Out, Burn Bright, Jason Young and Jonathan Malm provide spiritual and practical guidelines for pastors struggling with balancing the demands of pastoral leadership with life. Young and Malm provide keen insight into the subtle nuances of perfectionism, control, and boundaries and their impact on the pastoral leader. This book can easily be contextualized across ministry expressions and is a must-read for every pastor in need of striking the balance between life and pastoral leadership.”

Preaching as Reminding

Preaching & Worship

“Preaching as Reminding is more than just a book expounding on the riches of the art of preaching. It is, rather, a timely reminder of the responsibility of preaching in calling men and women back to the remembrance of the cross, the resurrection, and the ascension. Dr. Arthurs examines the seemingly inherent predisposition in mankind to forget and the preacher's role in awakening memory of God's covenant with man in an age that is often counterproductive to that end. He masterfully guides the reader through the utilization of style, story, delivery, and ceremony as effective tools in guiding the heart toward a singular posture concerning God. Leading from a construct that all biblical preaching is a performance of reminding, Dr. Arthurs skillfully reminds us of the hope of our calling and its preeminence in a day when forgetfulness seems to be a growing trend.”
