Counseling Techniques

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“All practitioners are better with some tools than others. This book prepares students and newer counselors with an enlarged toolkit and provides wisdom on how to use the tools you they may not be as familiar with. The range of strategies, interventions, interventions, and techniques is impressive, as are the counseling professionals presenting them.”

Don't Blow Up Your Ministry

Church Leadership & Ministry

“You will learn to not be content with surface treatments of destructive behavior. You will develop the ability to look beneath the surface to address the root causes. I enthusiastically commend this book to you.”

Feels Like Home

Church Leadership & Ministry

“In today's culture, we're tempted to think of church as a business, a mission, or a performing arts venue. Lee Eclov reminds us that the Bible refers to believers primarily as God's household, a family! That makes a big difference in how we lead this group of brothers and sisters we're called into. We all know the highest praise we can hear from someone new to the church is not, "I'm aligned with the cause" or "I love the music," but "I've found a home!" Lee, well said and well led, brother.”

Finding the Plot

Preaching & Worship

“For some, the phrase 'finding the plot' suggests a stroll through a graveyard, which is much like their view of preaching. But Roger Standing uses the phrase to describe narrative preaching, an approach that helps preachers accomplish their essential task: to raise the dead.”

Leadership in Christian Perspective

World Religions

“Irving and Strauss have provided a solid academic textbook on leadership, based on principles that have stood the test of time and on relevant biblical truths. Their combined expertise has produced a book that will inform those wanting a clear and comprehensive overview of Christian leadership.”

Leading Together

Work, Money & Leadership

“Mindfulness has become an important but widely misunderstood concept. Nicole Oliver Snyder has served us well by giving definition and application to this trait, and she shows how it can be used not just for self-awareness, but for the common good.”

Managing Leadership Anxiety

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Leadership isn’t just what you do; it’s who you are. Steve Cuss helps us develop that part of who we are that handles (or mishandles) anxiety. This book equips you for those moments when you realize things are beyond your direct control.”

Pastoral Ministry in the Real World

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Because people are complicated and messy, ministry often feels complicated and messy. Dr. Wilson knows that world, but his knowledge of the soul and skills of pastoring points us to clarity, focusing on loving well, teaching well, and leading well.”

Praying for Your Pastor

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Prayer enables us to see what we were previously unable to see, to recognize the invisible. Eddie Byun helps us pray for our pastors wisely and well, and in the process, we are given eyes to see the unseen so that we can pray for what really matters.”

Surviving Toxic Leaders

Work, Money & Leadership

“Surviving Toxic Leaders is sorely needed by leaders today. Toxic leaders can be found in all types of organizations, profit and non-profit. Most I have met in my fifty years in organizational leadership don't have a clue that they are a problem. Gangel, as usual, brings extensive personal research and a lifetime of practical leadership experience to bear on this pervasive issue. If you are seeking to be a godly, nurturing, servant-leader, this book is for you." --Dr. Gilbert A. Peterson, Chancellor of Lancaster Bible College and management consultant "Sometimes the best way to practice good leadership is to identify and avoid the malpractice of bad leaders. Kenn Gangel has spent a lifetime studying leadership and this book points the way to healthy influence.”

The Emerging Church

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Dan Kimball shines a spotlight (or more precisely, lights a bank of candles), illuminating the mystery-laden “postseeker” world. Churches dare not ignore the perspectives and preferences of the emerging generation as they take the gospel into the future.”

The One Jesus Loves

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“author of Who Is This Man? “Many authors ask, ‘Do you know Jesus?’ Bob Crosby dares to ask the more difficult question, ‘How close are you to Jesus?’ While grace allows us to know Christ, only a persistent and faithful pursuit results in closeness. This book describes Jesus’ friendship circles, and the way to closer connection.”

The Vulnerable Pastor

Church Leadership & Ministry

“It's hard to be both painfully honest and faith filled at the same time, but Mandy Smith does it. And she shows us how shepherding souls requires honest faith and hope and love, even when some pain is involved.”
