Canoeing the Mountains

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Canoeing the Mountains is a must-read for pastors and church leaders who want to understand the precarious religious landscape in America today. Seasoned pastor Tod Bolsinger draws on his experience as a church consultant and student of contemporary leadership theory in order to tackle the most pressing ministry leadership issues of our day. Employing Lewis and Clark's experience of exploring the Louisiana Purchase as a driving metaphor for the leadership that is needed in the church, Bolsinger issues a bold challenge to contemporary pastors to learn how to lead all over again. With refreshing honesty and vulnerability about his own ministry, Tod does not allow the reader to wallow in discouragement over the fact that the world in front of us is different than the world behind us. Instead, he insists that this time in history offers pastors and church leaders an unparalleled opportunity to discover a deeper capacity for leadership within ourselves than ever before. He issues a clarion call 'not to try harder, but to start a new adventure' by abandoning our 'canoes' to become risk-taking mountain climbers. I am going to recommend this book not only to the hundreds of pastors in the Macedonian Ministry program, but also to church leaders across the country. Canoeing the Mountains gave me hope for the future of the church of Jesus Christ. I pray that it will do the same for you!”

The God Who Comforts

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“"In his comforting and challenging forty-day devotional, we see Doug Webster at his very best! A wise pastor/scholar, Webster challenges his readers to consider that if we will put our weight down on the person of Jesus Christ, we will meet 'the God who comforts.' I highly recommend this volume for the faithful exegesis and distilled wisdom on each page. But watch out: taking Webster's words about Jesus seriously might just change your life!”

Why Did Jesus Die and What Does That Have to Do with Me?

Theology

“In this inspiring book, Fred Anderson claims that believing in Jesus Christ is about far more than going to heaven when we die. It is also about participating in God’s New Creation today. Drawing on forty-five years of pastoral ministry, Anderson punctuates his theological and historical insights with real-life questions from his congregants. After reading this, you will never look at the cross in the same way again!”
