This book is about some words. The subtitle states that words are very important. This statement is hardly profound. We think in words. We communicate with each other in words. I am writing words, and you are reading words. The words we use are important. We think in words. We use words to describe our feelings. We use words to communicate with one another and with God. We use words to describe what we see and hear. Parents are thrilled when their babies begin to speak words.

Effective leadership is important. Nowhere is this more true than in the church. In this short guide, Jeramie Rinne offers listeners a concise overview of the Bible's teaching on spiritual leadership, helping church leaders effectively shepherd their congregations. Giving practical guidance to new elders and helping church members better understand and support their spiritual leaders, this conversational book emphasizes purposeful ministry rather than project management.

The publication of the long-awaited English edition of Elder Anthimos of Saint Anne’s, translated from the sixth Greek edition (2004), brings to the Anglophone world a treasure of Orthodox spirituality. Elder Anthimos (1913-1996) was a humble monk of the St. Anne’s Skete on Mount Athos whose life shone “like a star shedding a new light of piety and as a brightly shining vessel of grace.”

For all that bewilders and bedevils us, the desert mothers and fathers can help us. In The Way of the Desert Elders, Lisa Colón DeLay asks: What if desert elders from more than a millennium ago could walk beside us and nourish our spirits? Starting in the fourth century, half a million Christians fled the villages and cities of the Roman Empire. Leaving behind comforts, they battled what Evagrius called "afflicting thoughts," which still unsettle us today.

This book is for 21st-century Jesus followers. It is not about 21st-century Jesus followers. It is about the 11 disciples and Jesus. It takes place in the upper room. Why 11? Judas had left the group on his way to betray Jesus.

Church leadership is a shared responsibility, not a solo venture. This book equips pastors and elders to lead the church together as a team, focusing not so much on what they are to be but on what they as a body are to do.

God created mankind with the capacity to think. What a person thinks matters and what a person believes matters. Anything that matters must be important. People like to know what they think and what they believe is true because that would be important. However, that is not what happens because sometimes, maybe often, people think and believe what is not true. This is a problem. This book is about truth and reality. This book is about the importance of God's truth and God's reality because God's truth and God's reality matter.

In Elders Reformed, Pastor Tim Bayly and Pastor Jürgen von Hagen bring decades of diverse pastoral experience to helping elders of Christ’s Church understand what it means to shepherd the flock of God. With Scripture as their foundation, they teach how elders should be chosen and appointed, what elders should be like, and the difficult work elders must do. They then combine hundreds of years of church history with their own experiences of ministering to God’s sheep—rich and poor, educated and uneducated, black and white, local and international.

This audiobook describes in detail the various Biblical leadership roles in the church and examines how these can be exercised in order to promote individual as well as the corporate growth of the church.

This book is divided into three parts, and each part is presented with an issue is not the issue format. I seek to identify the assumed or presented issue and then through exploration of Scripture discover the "real" issue. Part 1 concerns issues involving the supernatural. Part 2 looks at issues concerning the process that God uses to grow believers in Christ-likeness. Part 3 explores the issue of leadership in the church of Jesus Christ and who is in charge.

The thoughts about what is in “it” for Jesus came to me when this verse was read during a worship service in my local fellowship. I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance (Ephesians 1:18). I found it amazing to think that believers, his holy people, could be his rich and glorious inheritance. Probably like most other Jesus followers, my focus has always been on what is in it for me.

Regeneration in the Jesus Follower explores the wonder of the process the Lord has created for changing the Jesus follower into the image of Christ. Regeneration speaks of a re-creation or being created again. This term describes what happens when a person is born again and becomes a believer and a Jesus follower. Scripture teaches that when a person becomes a believer, they become a new creation.

What is real? Do you ever wonder if something is truly real? Can real things become more real? In More Love-More Real More Real-More Love, we will explore answers to the question. The exploration will begin with excerpts from a popular old children’s story, The Velveteen Rabbit.

In Battle for Your Mind, we dig into the details of the process of transformation for the Jesus follower. Scripture reveals that since the Jesus follower is indwelt by the Holy Spirit, they have been given a renewed mind. As new creatures in Christ, the Jesus follower has a new capacity for thinking. They begin to think biblically. They begin to obey the teachings of Scripture. They find a need to reject and abandon the old ways of thinking and replace them with new ways of thinking. Hence, the value and importance of a new mind.

What Do You Have On The Inside? That is the question this book will help you answer! In this Christian walk, God has given us the power and the ability to live victoriously. But do you really know and understand what He has placed on the inside of you? Furthermore, have you allowed yourself to yield to what He wants to do through you? Learn how to embrace the abundant blessings that come from allowing Holy Spirit to live, move and have HIS existence INSIDE OF YOU. Do you want to REALLY know the God-person that dwells within you?

In my book, I show how mature followers of Christ who are winning at life are similar to the big brother of the prodigal son (Elder Son of Luke 15). One of the challenges I address is pride. Pride happens automatically in the absence of humility. Pride is the primary preventer of receiving wisdom from the Lord. Another challenge to elder sons and daughters I address is handling the limelight. Many mature Christians can lose their Christian character when exposed to the limelight. One of the most important topics I address is staying motivated after achieving your dream.

To answer the question completely and thoroughly "What does it mean to be saved?" is impossible. Why is that? I can think of a least four reasons. There is more yet to be revealed about what it means to be saved.
