What God Thinks When We Fail: Finding Grace and True Success, Steven C. Roy

Steve Roy has good news for you. He had to face his own failures, but his failures also drove him deep into what God thinks about us and success, especially in Christian ministry. He searched deeply in Scripture and listened carefully to the stories of others. He found that God’s view of success is very different from ours. And that a biblically grounded view of success and failure challenges our preconceived notions but leads to hopeful renewal that goes beyond what we often ask or think.

Missional Spirituality: Embodying God’s Love from the Inside Out, Roger Helland and Leonard Hjalmarson

Veteran church leaders Roger Helland and Leonard Hjalmarson observe that Jesus begins his mission in the temple, where he wows the religious elite and chides his parents by saying, “Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?” But Jesus doesn’t stay in the temple; indeed, in Christ the temple of the Lord is on the move–even to the ends of the earth.

Whole Life Transformation: Becoming the Change Your Church Needs, Keith Meyer

In the midst of his pain Keith discovered a new way of living–one that truly depended on Christ to redeem and reform his character. And then as he was transformed, he discovered that the change in him was changing the way that he was pastoring and leading others. Drawing from the riches of church history and the experience of contemporary ministry, Keith Meyer writes with the voice of a prophet and the heart of a pastor.

Reclaiming the Old Testament for Christian Preaching, edited by Grenville J. R. Kent , Paul J. Kissling and Laurence A. Turner

Based on the conviction that the Old Testament texts are a vital and dynamic part of the Christian canon and pertinent to Christian practice, this stimulating volume offers guidance for expository preaching and practical suggestions for understanding the message of its diverse literature.

The Holy Spirit in Mission: Prophetic Speech and Action in Christian Witness, Gary Tyra

Gary Tyra employs a biblical theology of the Holy Spirit to deepen and inform our understanding of life as the church, the people of God. Since the church’s mission to and into the world is both evangelistic and prophetic, the task calls for the working of the Spirit in our preaching, proclamation and service. Tyra brings together both charismatic and evangelical emphases resulting in a theological and practical synthesis that is richer than when either is taken separately.

Kingdom Calling: Vocational Stewardship for the Common Good, Amy L. Sherman

God is on the move, and he calls each of us, from our various halls of power and privilege, to follow him. Here is your chance, keeping this kingdom calling in view, to steward your faith and work toward righteousness. In so doing, you will bless the world, and as you flourish, the world will celebrate.
