Book Description

Our hearts, like a garden, go through different seasons. Some seasons feel easy, and are full of growth and harvest. Other season are more challenging: have you ever feel like a seed-full of potential but not yet planted? Or felt the pinch of pruning, losing out on something good, and not sure why? Maybe you've been in a season of waiting, buried deep and wondering if this stage will ever end? This short 6 week gardening-themed devotional invites you to follow the story of a newly planted garden, and the insights about faith and spiritual growth discovered along the way. Each week looks at a different stage of the gardening process: soil, seeds, waiting, growth, pruning, and harvest and what this metaphor might mean for your heart and your relationship with God.

Book Description

This groundbreaking walk through Scripture by former physician and carpenter Dr. Matthew Sleeth makes the convincing case that trees reveal more about God and faith than you ever imagined. “Christians looking to reconnect to the natural world will relish Sleeth’s passionate call to Christian stewardship of the Earth.”—Publishers Weekly Fifteen years ago, Matthew Sleeth believed that science and logic held the answers to everything. But when tragedy struck, he opened the Bible for the first time and was surprised to find that God chose to tell the gospel story through a trail of trees. There’s a tree on the first page of Genesis, in the first psalm, on the first page of the New Testament, and on the last page of Revelation. The Bible’s wisdom is referred to as a tree of life. Every major biblical character and every major theological event has a tree marking the spot. A tree was the only thing that could kill Jesus—and the only thing Jesus ever harmed. Reforesting Faith is the rare book that builds bridges by connecting those who love the Creator with creation and those who love creation with the Creator. Join Dr. Sleeth as he explores the wonders of life, death, and rebirth through the trail of trees in Scripture. Once you discover the hidden language of trees, your walk through the woods—and through Scripture—will never be the same.

Book Description

Church planting has become a cottage industry. National conferences, hip planting organizations, and all-in-one resource kits celebrate the thrill of pioneering a church and inspire visions of glorious victories. Yet few who respond to the call are warned what they'll actually encounter: the relentless opposition they'll endure; the eventual scattering of their entire core group; the failure of their tried-and-true, field-tested system. Here's the dirty little secret of church planting: the roadside is strewn with casualties. Many have closed their churches. Some left ministry permanently. Others abandoned the faith altogether. Church planting is at once the greatest and most grueling ministry work on earth. This book is for those toiling in the trenches, those about to bail out, and those considering jumping in. It's for the church planters laboring and struggling, seeing little movement, and wondering what they're doing wrong or why God is failing them. It's also for mother churches, planting organizations, and denominations, as a challenge to rethink and re-calibrate the way they approach and measure planting endeavors. The Honest Guide to Church Planting is a fresh and candid conversation about the challenges and joys of planting new churches. Tom Bennardo speaks the truth so that those involved in church planting can embrace a more accurate and realistic picture of what planting a church is really like; one that not only enables them to survive, but to thrive in this wondrous work.

Book Description

Yes, you do have purpose from God. Yes, you do have a spiritual gift. Yes, you are anointed. Yes, God is concerned about your well-being and thank God that you do not have to allow people, personalities or problems to prevent you from pursuing and fulfilling your God-given purpose. These are only a few of the areas Bishop Thomas Clark addresses and explains in this insightful, thought-provoking book. If you are truly interested in understanding and ultimately operating within your purpose from God, then this is the book for you. With both his grandfather and father being used by God to pastor churches, Bishop Thomas A. Clark, IV has always been involved in some capacity of ministry. He is currently the Senior Pastor of World Deliverance Christian Center (WDCC), a multicultural church located a few miles west of Chicago in Hillside, IL. Thomas preaches a message of salvation and empowerment designed to help convert the lost and allow the children of God to live a Spirit-filled life without limitations. He believes that the Gospel forces a conflict and often says: "Every time we have an encounter with Jesus, we must make a decision. We will either decide for Him or against Him, but we will make a decision." He and his wife, Felicia, have three children, one of whom is married, and one grandchild."
