“bah humbug-ish” about Christmas this year, with all the shopping and anxiety surrounding the arrival of the January credit card bill, then I highly recommend this book to you. Readers beware . . . when you are finished, you will most definitely want to join the Advent Conspiracy movement. I did!”
Christian Living
“Every now and again God gives certain people a heightened understanding of what He is all about and what He wants us to know about living an abundant life. Consistently, God has chosen my good friend Jim Putman to deliver an important message that touches so many people. Hope for the Prodigal is important because many of us have strayed or know of someone who has strayed into a dark and dangerous place and we want to know if there is a way back. Jim, with the truth of God’s Word as his guide, leads us step by step back into a place of rich inheritance and blessing. Whether you are the prodigal or it is someone you deeply love, Jim reminds us that the story isn’t over yet. Read this great book and find your way back home.”
Leading a Church in a Time of Sexual Questioning
Church Leadership & Ministry
“This is a book that needed to be written and I can’t think of a better person for the job. You are going the love the way Bruce tackles this super-sensitive topic with skill, passion, balance, and grace. Anybody who plans to step outside into the world we live in today needs to take in the message of this book.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Aubrey Malphurs was one of the seminary professors who shaped my thinking in ministry twenty-five years ago. I have read everything he has written. Why? You would have to read two dozen books to get what you get in just one of Aubrey’s. He is a master of boiling a big idea down to the essential action steps. He has done it again with Look Before You Lead.”
Evangelism & Missions
“All too often the church and the small group become the 'bushel' talked about in the kids song--'This Little Light of Mine.' More than a strategy, Reimagining Evangelism is a powerful way of life that allows everyone to be involved in sharing the love of Christ with others even if they don't have the 'gift' of evangelism. Rick challenges us to take our faith to the streets, discover stories, develop deep relationships and even have fun together with other Christ followers and with seekers. An assimilation tactic that allows seekers to 'belong before they believe.'”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“The Big Idea resonates with me to the point of conviction. A challenge to pastors and teachers to quit creating “pew potatoes” by bombarding families and communities in any given week with multiple messages they don’t have time to put into action on their journeys as Christ followers. The Big Idea offers a start in fulfilling what James desires for us — not merely to listen to the Word, and so deceive ourselves, but to do what it says.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“No vision for leadership development proves to be more holistic and effective than church-based training. While many have seen the need for anchoring the training of future church leaders in the church, no one I know has been as dedicated to finding a workable model as this capable team of Forman, Jones, and Miller. This is not a theory that might work but one that has worked in the various churches these men have led. The church worldwide will be stronger as a result of applying the principles of The Leadership Baton.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Michel and James have dared to bring us to the realization that we have left out half of God's equation to help us grow spiritually. They scientifically and practically offer us the elements we need to engage the second half of our brain in becoming more and more Christlike for the sake of others, and bring true character transformation from the inside out—full-brained Christian character development. A must-read for all those engaged in helping others grow spiritually and for all those feeling plateaued in their own personal growth.”
Work, Money & Leadership
“The Person Called You is the culmination of Bill's best thinking. Reading and applying the message of this book will give you insight into what God had in mind when He created you.”
Children & Youth
“Welcome to The Story — God’s Story This book tells the grandest, most compelling story of all time: the story of a true God who loves his children, who established for them a way of salvation and provided a route to eternity. Each of these 31 stories reveals the God of grace — the God who speaks; the God who acts; the God who listens; the God whose love for his people culminated in his sacrifice of Jesus, his only Son, to atone for the sins of humanity. What’s more: this same God is alive and active today — still listening, still acting, still pouring out his grace on us. His grace extends to our daily foibles; our ups, downs, and in-betweens; our moments of questions and fears; and most importantly, our response to his call on our lives. He’s the same God who forgave David’s failures and rescued Daniel from the lions’ den. This same heavenly Father who shepherded the Israelites through the wilderness desires to shepherd us through our wanderings, to help us get past our failures and rescue us for eternity. It’s our prayer that these stories will encourage you to listen for God’s call on your life, as he helps write your own story.”
They Like Jesus but Not the Church
Evangelism & Missions
“The next generation is definitely looking for a less programmatic, more relational, and more missional kind of church. I agree with Dan; they want more Jesus and less religion.”
