In Ecclesiastes: Audio Lectures, scholar and professor George Athas explores the wisdom this ancient book offers us for living out our faith today with integrity, fervor, balance, and devotion. Ecclesiastes doesn't easily fit our preconceptions as Christians. Ecclesiastes' seemingly hedonistic...

Put James and Paul next to each other and some tough-to-answer questions come up. Paul says we're saved by faith alone, not works - and James seems to say the opposite. If you've been around the church for a while, you probably know enough to say "the right thing" if someone asked about these verses. But would your answers hold up to scrutiny? If pressed, would you know what to say? Dive into the life stories of both apostles, learn more about the context of their letters, and discover the truth about the shared message they both proclaimed.

What was it like to be a woman in the biblical period? It depended, in part, on who you were: a queen, a judge, a primary wife, a secondary wife, a widow, a slave, or some other kind of "ordinary woman". In Women in the Bible, Jaime Clark-Soles investigates how women are presented in Scripture, taking into account cultural views of both ancient societies as well as our own. Most of Christendom still excludes women from religious leadership, and many Christians invoke the Bible to circumscribe women's leadership in the public square and in the home as well.

In order to understand, appreciate, and faithfully preach the word of God, pastors must discern the literary nature of the Bible. Instead of just acknowledging the various genres of Scripture, pastors and teachers should allow these genres to influence how the text is approached and communicated. In The Beauty and Power of Biblical Exposition, they will learn how to both read and preach the Bible as a literary anthology.

In The Pastor as Leader, John Currie equips pastors to be men of God who competently carry out their purpose: leading God's people through the preaching of God's word.

Unless you change the process. 8 Hours or Less will show preachers how to write the same sermons they've been writing, but in half the time.

To do this effectively, they need to make Scripture the driving force of their preaching. In this convenient handbook, David J. Jackman offers listeners the basic principles of biblical exposition that will equip them to faithfully study, prepare, and deliver sermons and Bible talks.

In Steering Through Chaos, Pastor Scott Wilson helps church leaders plan for healthy changes by making strategic choices that please God and grow your ministry.

During the struggles of transition, doubts inevitably arise. At those moments, leaders need assurance that they have a real and authentic vision from God.

WARNING: This book is extremely flammable. It should come with a label: Hot and dangerous to lukewarm Christianity. Burning Hearts and Feet on Fire is not safe reading for the complacent. It will confront apathy, expose compromise, and ignite passion. Every page burns with holy intensity — scripture, revelation, and the fire-tested words of revivalists like Smith Wigglesworth, John G. Lake, Lester Sumrall, Reinhard Bonnke, A.W. Tozer, and E.M. Bounds. Read at your own risk and only if you’re willing to be set on fire, because once you are set on fire you will never be the same again.

I have a deep hunger to see souls saved and saints receive a greater measure of grace, so they are equipped to tackle the unique problems of our society.

Shepherding a congregation comes with many responsibilities. In addition to preparing weekly sermons, pastors manage church teams and minister to a variety of people with different needs. Attempting to tackle these roles separately can be exhausting and may eventually affect the health of the church. How should leaders integrate their roles to effectively shepherd their congregations?

The injunction to seek God's kingdom first, implies that we seek it first in point of time. It should be the first thing attended to. It is not merely to be admitted as of first importance, but should really be put first in point of time. The first thoughts of each morning should be given to it. And whenever God's word, or his providence brings before our mind the invitations or the claims of this kingdom, we are to remember that now is the accepted time.

From the beginning of his ministry, Jesus called and equipped individuals who would serve his community of followers. These "shepherds" are called to preach, pray, and care for the needs of God's people. But what does it mean to be a pastor? And what is the nature of this ministry, according to...

Why would a leader ever want to be mean? It's all about the vision. Almost every organization has a vision, but few stick to it over time. Even after short-term success, visions tend to blur, drift, and fade. Why does this happen? Accomplishing the vision requires intentionality. It requires...

These brief meditations have been collected from the third volume of Francis Grimké's Works, entitled Stray Thoughts and Meditations, a diary written over the last 25 years of his life.

Preachers from every Christian denomination will benefit from this African American Presbyterian voice of the early 20th century.
