12 Faithful Men

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Aside from God’s Word and prayer, reading biographies has been the most useful goad and guide to endurance when trials dog my steps. In the most difficult times, the story of a brother faithfully enduring gave me courage to continue on. By putting twelve of these stories together, Collin Hansen and Jeff Robinson have done an enormous favor to those engaged in ministry. Some familiar and others less so, these biographical sketches prove to be just the balm to salve wounds and energize the spirit to press on in faithfulness. This book is a go to for encouragement to endure.”

How to Be a Pastor

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Previous generations of pastors excelled as doctors of the soul. They modeled the priority of not only word-ministry but congregational soul care. In How to Be a Pastor, nineteenth-century pastor Theodore Cuyler personifies the details of shepherding the local church. In a short, readable volume, Cuyler strips away the clutter that can distract pastors to identify specific, doable ways to genuinely shepherd the flock. I’ll be eagerly recommending this book to pastors and students as a short primer on faithful pastoral work.”

Love the Ones Who Drive You Crazy

Christian Living

“Needed! Yes, that’s what I thought through reading each chapter in Jamie Dunlop’s Love the Ones Who Drive You Crazy. I needed this book during four decades of pastoring. I need it now as a church member. Dunlop takes difficult situations we face in the local church and helps us see the power of Christ alone to truly love one another in Christ’s body. I highly recommend this book!”

That His Spirit May Be Saved

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Jeremy Kimble offers a thoroughly biblical and pastoral treatment of the neglected practice of church discipline. He demonstrates the continuity of holiness among the redeemed in both Testaments, showing discipline to be no novelty but essential for the church's ongoing gospel witness and believers' perseverance. His examination of Jonathan Edwards' growth in understanding and practice will encourage church leaders toward faithfulness in pastoral care. This book is a superb ecclesiological resource!”

What Is Biblical Church Leadership?

Church Leadership & Ministry

“How fitting that 9Marks would put together a substantial resource for pastors and church leaders! For the past two decades, 9Marks has led the way in renewing a biblical passion for the local church. These resources will enable pastors, elders, and church leaders to have quick reference and instruction on the broad range of issues that their congregations face. I’m grateful for this toolkit!”
