Global Church Planting

Evangelism & Missions

Foreword

“Global Church Planting offers a comprehensive, biblical foundation for starting new churches, but it also gets down to the nitty-gritty of finding funding, developing a sense of the local culture, and pulling together the team that best meets the specific needs of growing a congregation in the community where the church is being planted. . . . It should be read by anyone thinking about planting a church, but I think it should also be read by anyone in church leadership.”

God at Work

Work, Money & Leadership

“My friend Ken Costa, in his book God at Work, shares practical and life-changing steps to live out your faith at work and bring glory to God. Outside of your marriage and family, God uses work as a school for character development. You’ll experience tremendous joy in letting God work in you and through you at work.”

God's Answers to Life's Difficult Questions

Christian Living

“In each of these studies, you will discover simple ways to apply God's truth to your personal life, your family, and your job. The way to get the most out of this book is to act on it.”

Halftime

Christian Living

“Bob Buford is one of those rare individuals who has made the transition from focusing on success to focusing on significance. This book will show you how to make the rest of your life the best of your life. I want every man in my congregation to read this inspiring story!”

I Choose Joy

Christian Living

“My friend Chip Ingram is one of my favorite Bible teachers. He always gets right to the point in applying God's truth to our lives. I love that! I've taught through the book of Philippians three times so I know that we can never hit bottom in mining the joyful truths in it. It has a mother lode of insight for your life.”

Impossible People

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“I read everything Os Guinness writes because he always challenges my thinking and enlarges my perspective. Impossible People may be his most important work. Read it, then buy five copies for friends and discuss it together. The message is that important. This could be the most important book you read this year.”

It Starts at Home

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“One of the most insightful leaders in America is Steve Stroope. We've been friends since teenagers, coworkers in ministry together for almost 40 years, and we're always learning from each other. Now Steve has tackled one of the most critical needs today: building strong families. We can't have strong churches, communities, or nations without strong families. Families are foundational. The greatest single influence on my life and leadership was the strong family I grew up in. It Starts at Home is one of the most important books to read this year.”

Kingdom, Come!

Christian Living

“I absolutely love this book! It is clear, compelling, and concise. You can’t fully understand what Jesus came to do, or what he wants you to do, without understanding the Kingdom of God. Unfortunately, much of what is written on this subject does little to clear up the confusion. I have over a hundred books on the Kingdom of God in my library, but this is the only one I’d recommend to everyone.”

Lead Like Jesus Revisited

Work, Money & Leadership

“One of our world’s great problems is egocentric, self-serving leadership—leaders who think people exist for their benefit, instead of vice versa. In stark contrast, Jesus modeled servant leadership, leading by example. He said, ‘I came to serve, not to be served.’ Now, two thousand years later, Jesus has over 2.1 billion followers, which makes Him the undisputed greatest leader of all time. No one else comes close! This is why you need to know how to lead like Jesus. He is the only flawless example. That’s why you should read this book!”

Leading Congregational Change

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Leading a church to change from being tradition- or program-driven to being purpose-driven is a task filled with all kinds of potentially explosive and divisive issues. This is a book you ought to read before you change anything.”

Let Hope in

Christian Living

“With all the hurt and pain in the world today, people are hungry to hear the message of hope found in the good news of the Gospels. In Let Hope In, my friend Pete Wilson challenges you to make the practical choices that will set you free. Stop living as a prisoner of your past and read this book today!”

Next

Work, Money & Leadership

“I pray this book sells a million copies! My dad used to tell me this too: ‘All pastors are interim pastors.’ We’re stewards, not owners. We’re only here for a blip in time, but the church goes on forever.”

On Getting Out of Bed

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“I read everything Alan Noble writes, and this latest book is a tour de force. Having lost a son to his battle with mental health, I've personally seen and felt what Alan writes about in this beautiful, encouraging book. It is not a sin to be sick, and your illness is not your identity. I recommend this book to everyone.”

One Blood

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Perkins rightly states that true reconciliation with our brothers and sisters 'from every nation' has been long overdue, and we continue to witness disastrous results. ... Dr. Perkins's insight and guidance on this subject are well worth considering by today's church leadership as well as individual members of the body of Christ.”

History & Biography

“It's obvious God has used Luis in a great way to fulfill His purpose for the Kingdom. I thank him for modeling that which matters most--transforming our world by changing lives through the abundant life found in Christ.”

Pastoral Confessions

Theology

“I read everything Jamin Goggin writes, and you should too. But this book is especially timely and profoundly needed in this critical moment. We stand at the edge of a great global spiritual revival that can speed up our finishing the task of the Great Commission in the next few years. The choice is ours. Augustine said, ‘The confession of bad works is the beginning of good works.’ It’s also the beginning of every true revival and spiritual awakening. The question is, Will we do what Jesus tells us to do? Will we remember the time we were closest to God, will we humbly repent—confessing and forsaking our idols that have distracted us—and will we return to the habits that keep us close to the heart of God? My passionate prayer is that God will use this straightforward book to cause revival in our hearts, our families, our churches, and all nations so that we are empowered with new boldness to finish the task of the Great Commission. Jesus’s last words must be our first priority. But Jesus also said not to do anything until you are empowered. Revival will energize our witness to the world.”

Seeing God as a Perfect Father

Christian Living

“Lysa TerKeurst #1 New York Times bestselling author, president of Proverbs 31 Ministries “Much of our worry stems from the fact that we don’t view God as a loving Father.
