Some of the biggest challenges that pastors and church leaders face are rooted in a non-biblical church structure. These challenges lead to low morale and discouragement, and they can drain enthusiasm and kill vision faster than almost anything else. This book shows you how to build an effective biblical church structure so that troubling dysfunction can be transformed into a healthy environment.

Included with this book is a model Constitution and Bylaws, scrutinized by an attorney who specializes in church and denominational litigation, which you can inculcate into the respective ministries of your church. Pastors, missionaries, church planters, college and seminary professors, church leaders and church members will be benefit by reading and applying Church Structure That Works, which combines biblical scholarship with the practical insights of a pastor with over 30 years of experience.

Want to be effective in missions? What are you doing and why are you doing it? To answer these questions you must have a strong grasp on the foundations of growth and activity. Anchors and Action addresses two vital principles: the Anchor Principles of truth, purpose, priority, holiness, fruit, and residence; and the Action Principles of leadership, prayer, equipping, partnering, and worship. These principles help define the basis of your activities in missions and how to effectively reach people with the gospel.

Comparing the world's definition with the Bible's, Anchors and Action brings you to a pivotal point of understanding regarding a heavenly and an earthly residence. This insight will change your perspective on what you are doing and why you are choosing to do it, and will help you become the life-changing leader you are being called to be! Learn More

The United States—the land of plenty, yet every day many American families suffer from poverty. How can this be? How does it affect those in its grip? What is the responsibility of the believer in this area of need?

In Open Your Hand Wide W.J. Daubney addresses the spiritual roots of poverty explaining why money and programs will never resolve the issue, why those who are chronically poor can't just “get a job” to solve their problems, how government has supplanted the church as the major caregiver for the poor, and what the average Christian can do to become engaged in caring for these families today.

Be challenged to open your mind to the spiritual truth about this social enigma, allowing God soften and change you so you can open your hand wide toward your neighbors in need. Learn More

Peter VandenBosch thought he had it all. He was 67 years old, happily married and successfully retired. He had homes in two states and a yacht for deep sea fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. In November 1990, while grouper fishing off the Florida coast, he heard a voice: “Peter, there is more to life than this.” For weeks he told no one, not even his wife. When he finally told her, her response was unexpected—and it changed his life.

Earth Angels is the story of Peter VandenBosch’s spiritual journey from the dust bowl of the Great Depression to the Rotunda of the nation’s Capitol. There, in 2007, congressmen and senators from both sides of the aisle honored him as the founder of Wings of Mercy, a faith-based, volunteer organization that flies low-income patients to life-saving medical centers like the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

It's a book about the heroic pilots who volunteer their time to transport patients in need of specialized, often urgent, medical care. It’s about the patients whose lives they have saved. And it’s about people like us—some in their retirement years—who have found fulfillment by serving people in need in other ways.

We all have an inner calling. If you listen, you just may change a life – quite possibly you will change your own! Learn More

How is a Christian to view same-gender partners? And what is God’s plan for love, sex, marriage, and ordination today?

Is it possible for Bible-believing Christians and homosexuals to reconcile and move toward a place of understanding?

Veteran pastor, television host, and author (Confident Faith, Deep River Books), Dr. Larry Brice, says Yes . . . It’s not only possible, but it’s long overdue!

In this important work, The Uncomfortable Church, Brice faithfully interprets scripture to define traditional marriage. Simultaneously, he opens the doors for compassion and mission to a hurting and marginalized minority. Without shying away from difficult questions posed by revisionists’ reinterpretation of scripture or the heartfelt appeal of homosexuals for inclusion and value in our contemporary world, Dr. Brice offers hope and support for gays and lesbians seeking to live a righteous life with the church’s support.

“Follow me.” These two simple words spoken by Jesus are often needlessly complicated with theological, psychological, and sociological interpretations. Using metaphors from organic farming, Don Detrick shows how a less complicated, organic approach for growing disciples makes sense.

Why don’t people act more like Jesus after spending a lifetime actively engaged in a local church? Why can’t we see that another sermon or class, however well intentioned, may not result in significant spiritual growth?

Growing Disciples Organically is uniquely positioned for such a time as this in the church, as younger generations are discovering that bigger churches don’t guarantee spiritual formation in the life of attendees, and that greater numbers don’t equate with greater levels of spiritual passion.

Pastors, leaders, any follower of Christ will find this book compelling—a fresh approach to effective, time-proven, biblically-based methods for spiritual growth. Learn More

A line of jewelry emblazoned with the letters WWJD still rides a crest of popularity with Christians. “What Would Jesus Do?” is a great question, but the answer is of little value if you aren’t willing to take the next step and Do What Jesus Did.

How can we make His life and His choices, our lives and our choices?

Some might argue it’s impossible to do what Jesus did—but the Bible teaches otherwise. Jesus said we would do what He did. Paul called us to be imitators of Jesus; so did Peter, and the author of Hebrews.
In DWJD, Richard Spillman explores what it means not only to accept Jesus, but to allow Him to be your role model. Learn how to pray like Jesus prayed, love like Jesus loved, serve like Jesus served, and forgive like Jesus forgave. Learn More

Angry. Afraid. Sad. Ashamed. When you feel negative emotions, how do you respond?

In a culture where anxiety is an epidemic and there are myriad ways to numb our discomfort, are you often overwhelmed? Or do you simply check out?

Truth is, Jesus longs to be present with us when we are in emotional distress. God never meant for his children to hide from their shame, pretend they’re not angry, run away when they’re scared, or anesthetize their sadness. Our emotions serve a purpose, by design!

What does a healthy emotional life look like?

In Mood Food: Nourishing Your God-Given Emotions, Dr. Melvin H. Hanna reveals God’s original design for human emotions. He shares proven, scripture-based strategies to transform your emotional life, redirect your emotions to move you into a deeper relationship with God, and help accomplish His purposes for your life.
