11 Innovations in the Local Church

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Minister, NorthStar Community Richmond, Virginia www.northstarcommunity.com This insightful book fills a huge void. You could spend thousands of dollars visiting hundreds of churches and still not gather one-tenth of the insights contained in this book. Our entire church staff is going to read, digest and discuss it. Towns, Stetzer and Bird have done a great service for church leaders.”

Forgiving What the World Says You Shouldn’t

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“Kallista Sanchez tackles a complex and rarely discussed subject with grace, authenticity, and a deep love that flows from her relationship with Christ. This practical and engaging book was developed from Kallista’s years of struggle to truly understand love and forgiveness. Her struggles will give you deep insight into those topics, too.”

Growing God's Church

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Dr. Gary McIntosh’s in-depth research project and its practical findings on effective evangelism are a true gift to the kingdom. Every leader with a desire to fulfill the Great Commission should read Growing God’s Church as soon as possible. The takeaways are revolutionary for the way we do outreach today. I will definitely be recommending this thoughtful, well-written book to all of my Coaching Networks.”

High-Impact Teams

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Healthy teams are essential to healthy churches. In High-Impact Teams, Lance Witt clearly defines what a healthy, high-impact team is really made of—and gives us all the game plan for building many of them. Lance’s wisdom and insight come from years in the trenches doing the hard work of good team building. I’m beyond excited to have this resource to study with my staff and volunteer team leaders at The Journey.”

The Bible Questions

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“With The Bible Questions, Hal Seed has succeeded in writing one of those rare books that has the ability to benefit new believers, longtime believers and full-fledged skeptics alike. For believers, it provides great insight and tools fortaking our faith to a deeper level--not to mention it is full of the practical information we need to be able to speak intelligently about the volume that is the basis of our belief. For skeptics, it offers a thorough discussion of many of the issues that often fuel concern and debate. I recommend this powerful resource to anyone who wants to learn more about the Bible.”

The Daniel Fast for Spiritual Breakthrough

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“have sought to incorporate fasting in my regular disciplines and into my church leadership, and I have experienced the spiritual power of fasting each time. This book is perfect for a personal or church-wide fast, and the daily readings will be an ever-present encouragement to you as you experience God’s blessings through a planned season of fasting.”

The Solo Pastor

Christian Living

“I’ve never been one to wear hats. Some say it’s because my head is too big, but that’s another story. However, Dr. Gary McIntosh has helped me realize that to lead more effectively as a pastor I must wear various hats. In this book, hats represent the roles of a pastor, and I’ve never seen them defined so clearly. This book will help you lead better as soon as you engage it. We will be studying the book as a staff, and I encourage you to take a deep dive into the wisdom of my good friend Dr. McIntosh. Now that I think about it, I’ve never tried on a cowboy hat. I wonder if they have one in my size . . .”
