The Innovation Crisis

Church Leadership & Ministry

“The Innovation Crisis speaks in plain language of the realities of today. Readers will see themselves and their ministries at various stages throughout the book. Frankly, it soon becomes personal and convicting. At the same time, Ted gives the picture of hope and courage to risk innovation backed by models of the past and imagination of the future. A clarion call to follow our Creator God in leading through Innovation.”

The Volunteer Church

Church Leadership & Ministry

“This is a now needed book. The Volunteer Church captures the imagination of what church should and could be now and in the future. People are longing to volunteer but need a pathway. Here it is! The weaving of the biblical and historical stories of volunteerism with contemporary examples is a compelling call to action. This is a watershed book for our time, coupled with specific guidance on how to lead a much needed volunteer movement movement of the kingdom of God on earth. Should be in the hands of every Christian leader!”

Tried and True

Work, Money & Leadership

“A brilliant, fresh word on leadership with spiritual formation practices through the eyes of a triune framework of surrender, stewardship, and servanthood, all leaning on the life and teachings of John Wesley. I was captured by the findings, the first person accounts, and the compelling practices in integrating the teachings of John Wesley and applying them to twenty-first century issues. A book for all, whether a beginning leader or one who has been leading for years. This is a powerful and critical book for twenty-first century leadership.”

It is full of grace and guidance to all the voices, synthesizing the answers within the power of the local church. Every pastor and aspiring pastor should read this book! It will bring inspiration, information, and opportunity for the Spirit to move, unlocking the potential in the local church. The results will be exponential in healing and empowering communities for the common good.”
