Where Have All The Church Members Gone
$19.99
A church leadership fable about how to combat the silent killer of churches.
Oliver, lead pastor of Connection Church, couldn’t put his finger on why he felt so unsettled. Everything seemed to be going right at Connection– that was until he asked a task force what had happened to one church member: Jill. Oliver couldn’t have known how his one simple question could lead to an unraveling of what was really happening within the church.
In this book, respected church consultant, founder and CEO of Church Answers, and author of several church leadership books, Thom S. Rainer, shows how the trend of low church attendance is slowly undermining churches and sending many to the grave. With this leadership parable, Thom illustrates the five key dysfunctions that plague congregations and block healthy church growth. He demonstrates why church leaders need to pay more attention to core issues like unbelief, membership, and dedication to evangelism.

Fervent : A Womans Battle Plan For Serious Specific And Strategic Prayer
$17.99You have an enemy . . . and he’s dead set on destroying all you hold dear and keeping you from experiencing abundant life in Christ. What’s more, his approach to disrupting your life and discrediting your faith isn’t general or generic, not a one-size-fits-all. It’s specific. Personalized. Targeted. So this book is your chance to strike back. With prayer. With a weapon that really works. Each chapter will guide you in crafting prayer strategies that hit the enemy where it hurts, letting him know you’re on to him and that you won’t back down. Because with every new strategy you build, you’re turning the fiercest battles of life into precise strikes against him and his handiwork, each one infused with the power of God’s Spirit. “New York Times” bestselling author Priscilla Shirer, widely known for her international speaking, teaching, and writing ministries, brings her new role from the 2015 film “War Room” into the real lives of today’s women, addressing the topics that affect them most: renewing their “passion,” refocusing their “identity,” negotiating “family” strife, dealing with relentless “regrets,” navigating impossible “schedules,” succeeding against “temptation,” weathering their worst “fears,” uprooting “bitterness,” and more. Each chapter exposes the enemy’s cruel, crafty intentions in all kinds of these areas, then equips and encourages you to write out your own personalized prayer strategies on tear-out sheets you can post and pray over yourself and your loved ones on a regular basis. “Fervent” is a hands-on, knees-down, don’t-give-up action guide to practical, purposeful praying.
