Church Government According to the Bible
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Simon Goncharenko has done an excellent job of examining all of the various forms of church governance used throughout history and today. Those who do not understand the issues would be well advised to consult the author's research and see how he comes to his conclusion.”

“The key word in this book is team. Wayne Cordeiro is equipping people for leadership and giving them a vision of how to pull together to build the work of God. The principles in this book will work in a church of fifty as well as they do in Pastor Cordeiro’s megachurch in Honolulu.”

Foreword
“I have reviewed many books and confess that some of them I skim. That is because of the quality of content and the book’s ability to command my attention. But God at Center captured me—the quotations, the argumentation, the applications, the conclusion. I was captivated by the content, its structure, and the literary presentation. I read it carefully, applying its message to my thinking, and I challenge you to do the same.”

His latest book, Growing God’s Church, explores a number of factors that contribute to growth. Anyone who is interested in knowing about growing churches should read this book. Everyone who is interested in actually working in a growing church needs to read this book.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Ralph Moore has written an intriguing book to tell us how to multiply a church in the most effective way. He was a student of mine in the 1970s and we have been friends for the past 30 years, and now he has written a book to point us toward the Great Commission—to “go and make disciples of all nations.” May God use this book to strengthen churches everywhere.”
Christian Living
“Just as individuals bring emotional and spiritual baggage with them into the Christian life, whole congregations can carry such baggage from events in the history of the congregation. Freedom for the individual to grow in maturity depends on dealing with the personal sin and emotional baggage, and freedom for a church to grow often depends on dealing with the corporate sin in its history. Setting Your Church Free provides the guidance a church needs to do that.”

“Gary McIntosh has written a down to earth practical book for those who look at the task of pastoring a church and don’t know where to begin or what to do. There’s Hope for Your Church is a coaching experience bound in the pages of a book. Gary McIntosh has consulted with over 1,000 churches, so he has seen most the problems, and there are very few difficulties in the church that he has not faced. Now Gary makes his wisdom available to help a pastor begin and carry through with a project of leading a church to become healthy and carry out the Great Commission.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“I am thrilled that Gary McIntosh and Charles Arn have prepared this book. Both of these writers have an excellent history of research as well as a heart commitment to the church and the ministry of Jesus Christ. When they write What Every Pastor Should Know, they mean it, and every pastor should read this book to find out what they must know.”
