Little "d" Deacons
The tittle to this book may be surprising to many! For most active Church going folks, we normally associate the word deacon to a well-respected beloved individual. We usually would associate the word deacon as an honorary title. Over many years since the formation of deacons in the Book of Acts the word deacon stopped being a descriptor of the job of deacon and increasing became a title, much like aristocratic England. This is an intentional analogy. This was not the case in the early Church. Sadly, many deacons have become titled men rather than servant men. This tittle book is simplified call for God's deacons to rise and discard the title of Deacon and return to the Biblical mandate for deacons. And by their good works establish a framework for God's Revival Fire.
The Diaconate in Ecumenical Perspective
A discussion of the historical development of the order of deacons, its theological basis in the Western and Eastern Churches, and the relevance and significance of the diaconate for the Church in the twenty-first century.
In the Person of Christ the Servant
Since its implementation in 1968, the diaconate has been struggling to find its voice within the larger Church. Its suppression as a permanent part of the three-fold hierarchy for over 1000 years has left the order theologically impoverished leading to confusion as to the role and mission of the sacred office.

Encountering Christ the Servant
Receive the Gospel of Christ whose herald you have become. Believe what you read, teach what you believe, and practice what you teach. These are the words a newly ordained deacon hears from his bishop as the Book of the Gospels is placed in his hands. It is a solemn but joyous moment in which the deacon is called to a lifelong pursuit of bearing witness to Christ the Servant. The foundation of the deacon’s diaconate, the very foundation of his ministry, is intimate communion with Christ the Servant. This communion originates and deepens in the interior life, and it is here, through prayer and meditation, where he truly discovers God on a personal level and, at the same time, discovers hims...
The Pentecostal Deacon
THE PENTECOSTAL DEACON will be a one-of-a-kind book in your library. No other book speaks to the unique calling of spirit-filled deacons and deaconess, who operate under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, but are subject to the authority of the Pastor. No single volume of work can better prepare them for their role as a servant, while at the same time, confirm the pastoral role in the selection, training and maintenance of these mighty warriors of God.
The Deacon Reader
"The essays collected in this book aim to give the reader an overview of the theological and pastoral nature of the diaconate and thus to clarify the fundamental identity of the deacon, for those who are discerning such a call as aspirants and those who are already candidates for the office." --From Introduction.
