Have you ever been absolutely fired up for God? So often, we attend high-energy events and impassioned church services that leave us feeling so overcome and in love with God. But a few days go by, and we fall back into living our lives just like before. We assume a plateaued relationship with God is normal and that a life of on-fire faith is only possible in certain situations. Jonni Nicole Parsons understands this disconnect all too well. In her debut book, Ignited, Jonni explores what we need to change in our quest for a sustainable passionate faith.

This is the most important book I have ever written or will ever write. There can be no greater need today than to disciple Christians one-on-one to obey Jesus Christ as Lord. The Great Commission is the fulfillment of the Great Commandment. To love is to obey, and to obey Jesus is to make disciples of all nations. Making disciples one-on-one is very simple, but it will cost you your life. Making disciples one-on-one is very powerful. You get to impart and teach Christians everything the Lord has commanded you. What a great advantage this is for new believers.

What do I do now? Many new and existing Christians face this question, and rightfully so. The purpose of this book is to give a foundation on the fundamentals of living your new life in Christ. This book is for those who wish to mentor new believers but who also need spiritual guidance in teaching people from the Bible how to become effective and God-fearing disciples of Jesus Christ.

We live in a world of options, where we might do this or that if we feel like it. But for followers of Jesus, certain things are not optional, but necessary. Bishop Claude Alexander unpacks the Gospels' statements of what Jesus said he must do. He must be about his Father's business. He must go through Samaria. He must go to Jerusalem. Life in God is less about what you could do, and more about what you must do. Contrary to the life of the optional, accidental, and haphazard, the believer is called to live with a sense of divine necessity. No maybes about it.

The market is flooded with books, conferences, and workshops on how to be a better leader. In most companies, leaders are noticed and applauded while followers are often viewed as weak and passive. However, Scripture tells us a different story; although leadership is valued and respected, being obedient followers of Christ is at the very heart of faith. In The Call to Follow, Richard Langer and Joanne J. Jung teach listeners that "followership" is essential to both organizational and spiritual flourishing.

Investigaciones exhaustivas han demostrado que lo que más contribuye al éxito o fracaso de un programa eclesial de grupos celulares es la calidad del asesoramiento que aporte en su grupo cada uno de los líderes de célula. Con frecuencia, muchas de las personas que dirigen grupos celulares aportan la mejor voluntad, pero no entienden demasiado cuales son sus obligaciones y qué es lo que se espera de ellos. Esta circunstancia no es achacable a ellos mismos, la causa hay que buscarla más bien en una labor incompleta y deficiente por parte del pastor o supervisor general.

New Life in Christ is a multivolume anthology of the writings and sermons written and presented by Dr. Strem during his many years in pastoral ministry. These volumes present the breadth of Christian theology in a personal and informal manner that serves to address the application of Christian faith in daily life. Written during a time when there is a great need for discipleship in the community of Christian faith, Dr. Strem addresses that need by organizing the material in a manner that may be used both as a reference text on theology and for instruction in Christian living.

Like a succession of failed diet regimens, the much-touted techniques that are supposed to bring us closer to God "in our hearts" can instead make us feel anxious, frustrated, and overwhelmed. Phillip Cary explains that discipleship is a gradual, long-term process that comes through the gospel experienced in Christian community, not a to-do list designed to help us live the Christian life "right." He covers ten things we don't have to do to be close to God, skillfully unpacking the riches of traditional Christian spirituality. The expanded edition includes a new afterword.

How much should I give? How should I give? and For what reasons should I give? If so, this book is for you. It explores what the Bible, particularly the New Testament, teaches about Christian giving from a stewardship perspective.

Most believers possess certainty of their roles as priests. They engage in personal prayer and intercession without much hesitation. However, the same people hardly consider themselves "kings", even though the Bible calls us "kings" before we are called “priests"! Awaken the King in You focuses on changing this paradigm by reexamining the scriptures that emphasize our "kingly" role. It paints a picture of what our lives could look like once we embrace this new thinking. Join me on this journey of self-discovery as we unpack the truth of who you are—a king before a priest!
