Touch
Before God touched his heart and transformed his life, Rasmus was a businessman running a "borderline bordello" in Houston. This work tells the amazing story of Pastor Rudys life and his ministry of grace.
Learning to Be
When everything in her life came to a stop, Pastor Juanita Rasmus found that she had to learn to be—with herself and with God—all over again. Offering both practical and spiritual insights, she shares a wise, frank, and witty account of her own story of exhaustion and depression, acting as a trustworthy companion through dark days.
Jesus Insurgency
Crunching more data maybe helpful but will not revolutionize, let alone save, a declining church. We need creative thinking done by people who are not afraid to face the institutional church. Indeed, the change we long for is already happening. It is happening on the margins in ministries to the least, the last, and the lost. Written by two creative pastors with different but successful ministries, this breathtaking book will show you how the church can live out its mission and ignite a movement. If we pay attention, we can let this Jesus Insurgency create new life.
Love. Period.
Who among us doesn't desperately need . . . Love. Period.
Not Just a One-night Stand
The story of how a church dying for more than two decades found its soul--and a new identity. In the foreword to this book, Tex Sample says: "The Christ who is Lord of the Church stands at the margins of the world. To forget either Christ as Lord or the Christ at the margins is to lose our ways as the church...In this faith-inspiring book, John Flowers and Karen Vannoy call the church again to the Christ who is Lord who appears at the margins of established, respectable life." Not Just a One-Night Stand is based on the ministry experience at Travis Park United Methodist Church in San Antonio, Texas. When you read the chapter titled "You're Under Arrest," you'll gain insight into the personality of Flowers and the ways in which he and Vannoy engage in ministry. Far more than a memoir, Not Just a One-Night Stand offers creative approaches to ministry with those who are marginalized.

The New A-List
Corporately-backed media has set up members of the Hollywood A-list as modern-day gods, molding everything from the values of society, to the sexual behaviors of an entire generation, and contributing to the erosion of the moral fiber of a nation. But a cultural shift is happening. A new army of A-listers, with the "A" representing abstinence, is arising and standing up for sexual purity, in a sex-crazed culture. In The New A-list, author Dianna Hobbs highlights and mobilizes a new crop of leaders, who are determined to lift the taboo off abstinence and virginity. Through research, biblical and practical principles, and personal stories, readers will discover how to effectively counter immoral culture, become positive change agents, and personally adopt a successful lifestyle of purity.

Failing Boldly
This book is a must-read for anyone who has ever tried to energize or grow a ministry. Christian Coon takes us through his own missteps and mistakes as the co-founder of the Urban Village Church--as well as those of others working to do the same--and shows how failure can serve as a springboard to new possibilities and even a closer connection to God and what leadership means. Woven together with honesty, humility, and humor, we learn to look on failure as an actual gift that can be the gateway to a deeper journey.
