Dick's work provides the biblical and spiritual motivation we need to move forward at this critical time. Readers of this well-researched and intelligently argued resource will be given an irresistible biblical vision and mandate to redeem what is being despoiled.
Intentional Leadership
Leadership is, inherently, a management of tensions. The individual and (or versus!) community. Inclusions and boundaries. Structure and creativity. Each pulls at the other—helpfully at times, harmfully at other times, and always with complexity. Leadership scholar and author Sarah B. Drummond provides a framework for leading tension, intentionally, especially within religious communities and institutions.
Transforming for a Purpose
Women in ministry face needs that are often overlooked by the local church and consequently remain underdeveloped as they seek to lead and guide those in their care. The need to shape emotions to guard and fulfill God’s purpose and the need to bond in order to build a community of authentic, lasting friendships are distinctively feminine and foundational to a successful ministry. As the founder of Inspire Women, Anita Carman is uniquely qualified to offer practical, biblical training and resources to support leaders, and those thinking about leading, on the front lines in our churches. Transforming Leaders covers the three primary emotions, loneliness, rejection, and fear; a leader must overcome to maximize her impact while providing a personalized curriculum to knit the hearts of those she serves.
Urban Apologetics
Much of the New Testament was written in urban settings, in which the Christian communities had to deal head-on with issues such as race, equality, justice, sexuality, money, and economics. But much of today’s apologetics (engagement with the questions that people are asking about Christianity) come from suburban churches and academic studies. Urban believers—those who live and minister in America’s inner cities—often face unique issues, not often addressed by the larger Christian community. These questions aren’t neat or easy to answer but need to be addressed by applying biblical truth in the culture and challenges of urban life. Author Chris Brooks has ministered for years in the urban environment as well as received extensive theological training. In Urban Apologetics, he seeks to connect the riches of the Christian apologetic tradition with the issues facing cities—such as poverty, violence, and broken families. He brings an urban rhythm and sensitivity to the task of demonstrating the relevance of faith and the healing truth that Christ provides.
Brotherhood
Recounting true stories of success, failure, and overcoming, Black Christian men share how they've been discipled and trained, and in turn mentored other Black men, including those whom society often writes off. In this devotional compilation, these faith leaders pass their hard-earned wisdom to the next generation, offering hope through their relatable personal experiences of helping one another and keeping Jesus as their guide.
Bullied!
Bullying.It’s an issue that has taken on renewed emphasis in our electronically-connected, social media world. We’re more aware than ever that bullying happens in many places: in the workplace, on professional sports teams, in schools and on social media. Everyone from supermodels to students and CEOs to celebrities is taking a stand against bullying in all its forms. Finding solutions to the problem has become an important part of our cultural conversation. However, there’s one place in society where bullying continues unchecked, where it is rarely confronted and often covertly rewarded.The church.Pastors, staff, and church members experience bullying with alarming regularity. It does as much damage as bullying anywhere else. It’s a prime reason why many churches remain ineffective, in decline or dying.Using the letter of 1st Corinthians as a guide and the church in Corinth as an example, Bullied! takes a blunt, unflinching look at six internal reasons why our churches are in trouble, and offers avenues of renewal and hope. With this resource you can help your church address what’s holding it back and be part of a solution that brings new life and vitality.
Racial Reconciliation
Racism within the Christian community in America has resulted in social unrest and has plagued the Christian church in a way that mandates urgent solutions. Dr. Calvin Glass, the senior pastor of Lord of Lords Ministries and the president of Ministers United, shares a practicable methodology based on biblical principles to promote racial reconciliation. Having interviewed and taught focus groups representing a Black Christian congregation, a non-Black Christian congregation, and a group of local diverse senior pastors and ministers in the metro Detroit area, he shares a plethora of wisdom that Christians can put to work in their own houses of worship. The objective of the research was to describe the reality of historical racism in the Christian community and to motivate and implement multicultural change that will enhance the building of theologically healthy and loving relationships among all races. With the Christian church struggling to find its footing in modern times, attaining true racial unity and harmony lingers as a thorn in the flesh. Discover biblical truths that will promote racial reconciliation with the wisdom and insights in this book.
Making Your Vision a Reality
Making Your Vision A Reality examines the key components of a systematic process that assists church leaders in shaping a vision statement and designing strategies to implement it.

Making Your Vision a Reality will help leaders establish a clear direction for their church or ministry. This book is a excellent resource for Christian leaders who are ready to launch or "re-vision" their ministries for growth, health, and ministry effectiveness. Cannings guides the reader step-by-step through his proven process for developing and implementing a God-sized perspective.
