"All thoughtful leaders can admit experiences of ongoing incompetence--dilemmas, decisions, and even debacles that make them question how they became leaders in the first place. When we look at St. Peter, however, we see a great leader who engaged with his weaknesses and knew his shortcomings. By following his example, we become better leaders in any arena. Seminary president Peter Lillback's profound treatment of more than 100 principles drawn from St. Peter helps you to think through your management style, communication, decision-making, and more. Practical spiritual exercises put the lessons of each short chapter into action--bringing joy to our hearts, guidance to our lives, and help to our service"--From publisher's description.

Clair Davis himself looking anew at the 5 points of Calvinism. Section 2 looks at the Reformed Heritage through Church History. Section 3 is a revealing, charming and often amusing collection of anecdotes by colleagues, students and friends of Dr Davis. Section 4 is a bibliography of Dr Davis' wide and varied writings.

How often have you heard it stated on TV, in the press, or by an acquaintance that the wall of separation between church and state are words taken right out of the US Constitution? This book examines the nation's historic understanding of, and the Founding Fathers' intentions regarding, the relationship of our Constitution to matters of faith.
These 15 articles were chosen by Testamentum Imperium Founder Kevaughn Mattis with Michael G. Maness from among 163 articles published in the 2011 online journal. Each author was chosen for their expertise and decades of experience in the practice of pastoral care in their unique fields. How the practicality of grace applies in suicide, sex addiction, sexual assault, shame, hospital or prison chaplaincy, even in eschatology and forgiveness is covered by these veterans in the field. The articles touch a broad scope of affliction from physical to moral dilemmas. And part of the choice was not to find from the 163 those who see eye-to-eye. We desired to share the unique expertise. Each author is a weathered captain who has ferried souls across tumultuous waves of grief, confusion, self-control, and internal torment to a port of healing and peaceful victory.

Business Ethics Today: Foundations is an anthology produced from a Business Ethics Conference which took place in June, 2010. Underlying the Conference and this text is the belief that the Protestant Reformation created a culture for business that is fundamental to the commercial world as we know it today. As a society moves away from the acceptance of Christianity, the principles arising from this culture are at risk. Foundations enables a reflection on the core beliefs as articulated in the Westminster Confession of Faith and their impact on doing business. Men like Peter Lillback, Chuck Colson, Wayne Grudem, and Philip Ryken have each written chapters engaging in these important discussions in Business Ethics. With these men and many others, Foundations is a must read for anyone passionate about doing business in God's world.
Professors at Westminster, Reformed Theological, and Covenant seminaries explain pressing issues regarding the doctrine of Scripture--from publisher description.
"Sound-bite" and "knee-jerk" have replaced reasoned debate and the church appears to wear a one-size-fits-all political jacket. Isn't it time to think a bit deeper? Carl Trueman takes you on a readable, provocative, and lively romp through Christianity and politics. Book jacket.
Reformed missional practice and Reformed missional doctrine are inseparably connected. Thus, the weighty subject of mission is not only a vital practical concern of the church, but also a theological and academic enterprise that requires deep thought and careful research. For centuries, those in the Reformed tradition have proclaimed the gospel of Christ to the four corners of the earth. But even so, discussions concerning the mission of the church do not sufficiently engage with the great theological truths of the biblical covenantsƒƒ‚‚ƒ‚‚"ƒƒ‚‚ƒ‚‚€ƒƒ‚‚ƒ‚‚"of creation, grace, and redemption. Bringing together contributors from Africa, Asia, North and South America, and Europe, A Covenantal Vision for Global Mission shows that the growing interest in the missional character of Christian outreach is grounded in the classic biblical and historic Reformed theological understanding of God's covenantal relationship with mankind.
