Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Award-winning author ReShonda Tate Billingsley delivers a bold and heartwarming story of family and faith about a man who has succeeded as a reverend and failed as a father. Reverend Simon Jackson has always felt destined to lead and he’s done a good job of it, transforming his small Houston church into one of the most respected and renowned in the region. But while the good Reverend’s been busy tending his flock, his family’s gone astray. His nineteen-year-old daughter, Rachel, gives new meaning to “baby mama drama.” Crazy in love with her son’s father, she's wreaking havoc on the man’s life, even though he's about to marry another woman. David, Simon's oldest at twenty-seven, has been spiraling downward ever since a knee injury ended a promising football career. These days he’s seeking solace in drugs—even feeding his habit by stealing church offerings. Blessedly, twenty-three-year-old Jonathan, a college graduate and the apple of Simon’s eye, is poised to take his father’s side as associate pastor—or so everyone thinks. Loretta has been a devoted wife to Simon, but she’s beginning to realize that enabling him to give more to the church than to his children was her biggest mistake. As things begin to fall apart and secrets are revealed, will Loretta be able to help her husband reunite their tattered family before it’s too late? Let the Church Say Amen is a powerful journey through one family’s trials—and a remarkable story of reconciliation and love. When things are down to the wire will Reverend Simon Jackson choose to fight for his family or the congregation?

Book excerpt: Young people are walking away from the church and those still in the church often struggle with indifference about their faith. But it doesn't have to be this way. It's time for a revolution, a holy uprising. A riot. With passion and authenticity, teen author Sara Barratt calls on her generation to reject apathy and embrace a daring, costly faith. Not content with safe religion that demands nothing of us, Sara shows teens how they can stop giving in to the status quo and devote themselves fully to Christ, following him no matter what their friends do or the culture around them does. She challenges them to give everything over--their comfort zones, their time, their loyalties, their pride--and discover that in losing control they are gaining the life that was meant for them all along. Love Riot is a battle cry from one teen to another to embrace a life of wholehearted commitment and relentless abandon for Christ . . . no matter the cost.

Book excerpt: How Can Deacons Mobilize Service in the Church? Deacons are essential to a church's health—yet confusion abounds regarding their biblical job description. What's their God-given role in a local congregation and how do they relate to the church's overall mission? In this short book, Matt Smethurst makes the case that deacons are model servants called to meet tangible needs, organize and mobilize acts of service, preserve the unity of the flock, and support the ministry of the elders. Clearing away common misconceptions, Smethurst offers practical guidance for deploying deacons and helping churches to flourish.

It speaks into the discontent of all those who have exhausted conservative, liberal, and even emergent ways of being Christian and are looking for a new way forward. It offers building blocks for missional theology and practice that moves Christians into a gospel-centered way of life for our culture and our times. Offers a compelling and creative vision for North American Christians Puts forth a theology and ten critical signposts that must be observed to follow a missional way of life: post-Christendom, missio Dei, incarnation, witness, scripture, gospel, church, sexuality, justice, pluralism Asks questions and points to issues that trouble many leaders in the post-modern, post-denominational, post-Christendom church This book can fill the gap for the average Christian left discontented with the current options "after evangelicalism."

Book excerpt: This book is inspired from a series of sermons delivered by Bishop George D. McKinney, PhD. This writing was motivated by my deep love and concern for the sleeping giant of the world - God's church at large. If one soul can be awakened to the urgency of the Christian's commission to herald the Good News in a world where hopelessness is more commonplace than hope, my heart will be made glad and the Kingdom of God will be advanced. The walls we have erected in the Body of Christ to separate us one from the other must come down. Together, we must go and tell of Jesus and the hope He gives. Allow this book to challenge your thinking. Contemplate your role in God's Church and evaluate your quality of involvement and commitment to Jesus Christ. This book is written not to the unbeliever, but to the believer.. The Church that is going to prevail is the Church that will not forget to praise God, for Jesus is worthy of praise. When the people of God praise the Lord, when we praise Him with the whole heart, when we praise Him with our lips and with our lives, and when we just keep on praising the Lord, somebody who does not have this grace, and who does not know this salvation will hear and be drawn to Him. In today's economic climate in America, businesses are folding at the rate of one thousand per week. Stores are being boarded up every day. But, there is one institution that shall never die, and that is the Church. How we need to thank God that we are in this institution that in all of time and in eternity shall never die. Let the Church roll on. Get in the Church, be in the Church, stay in the Church; and as a part of the Church, and let the Church be the Church! The Church will prevail.
