Almost every pastor feels the pressure to get people in the doors. Often, in their zeal for fruit and growth, pastors and church leaders adopt worldly mechanisms for church growth that end up undermining the very call God has given them. Charles Spurgeon, the Prince of Preachers, was a pastor to well over 5,000 people in a day long before "mega-churches" were the norm. In Spurgeon the Pastor, Geoff Chang shows how Spurgeon models a theological vision of ministry in preaching, baptism and the Lord's supper, meaningful church membership, biblical church leadership, and more.

Now That I’m Called is a guide for women who feel called to vocational gospel ministry within the church. It provides them with a biblical, theological, and practical framework to process their calling and prepare them for full-time ministry. 

Speaking by the Numbers offers a strategy that combines communication principles with Enneagram wisdom to help leaders, pastors, and teachers understand how to convey content in ways that both inspire and connect with their audiences. Using the Enneagram wisdom of triads and stances, communicators can learn insight into the ways that various Enneagram numbers receive and process information.  

Since we are in this world, but not of this world, we are considered flesh. It is much easier for people to gravitate toward their fleshly feelings than their spiritual feelings, because spiritual feelings require spiritual effort. When it comes to ministry, our fleshly feelings will make us look at a minister’s qualifications, how much that minister sinned throughout their life, who gave them permission to minister, what church they belong to, their social media activity, their educational background, and anything else that could potentially “disqualify” a minister. 

Compiled with the intent to improve the preaching standards in churches at the time and to increase pastoral understanding of Christianity, Homilies is a comprehensive overview of Christian theology, the history and impact of the Reformation, and daily applications of faith and doctrine. The sermons included here dive into the issues and questions of salvation, Christian living, justification by faith, the weight of sin, and many more impactful themes and ideals. 

This book is prepared not only for theological students, but also to supply the need of such as find themselves denied the privileges of a regular ministerial training, but who, nevertheless, feel themselves called upon to preach or proclaim the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Indeed, the lectures herein are in substance the same as delivered to young men and women preparing themselves for Christian service in a Bible training school. Christian laymen desiring to be able to prepare brief gospel addresses and Bible readings will find the help they need in this volume. 

If you are speaking across generations, you need to understand how different generations hear. Pastor Darrell Hall (a millennial) harnesses the insights of generational science to explore how generations are distinct people groups with their own cultures and languages. With fresh research from the Barna Group on how generations communicate, Hall sheds light on how each generation receives verbal messages, from boomers and Xers to millennials and Gen Z and those not yet named. 

Preaching needs to become purposeful, says Jay Adams, because purposeless preaching is deadly. This book was written to help preachers and students discover the purpose of preaching has and the ways that the Scriptures inform and direct the preaching task. Preaching with Purpose, like the many other books of Jay Adams, speaks clearly and forcefully to the issue. After listening to this book, both students and experienced preachers will be unable to ignore the urgent task of purposeful preaching. And the people of God will be the better for it.

When it comes to interacting with guests, churches typically gravitate toward one of two camps: the over-the-top, shock-and-awe, let-us-entertain-you approach or the oh-man, some-people-just-showed-up underwhelming experience. Each extreme has drawbacks: On one end, people become the center of the universe. On the other, hospitality is effectively ignored in deference to the "serious business" of worship. People Are the Mission proposes a healthy middle, one where guests are esteemed but the gospel is the goal.
