It’s healthy to occasionally explore our past and consider a fresh purpose for the future.To realign ourselves with the plan that our creator God has ...

Shortlisted for the Australia Christian Book of the Year 2017“The Hebrew root word for ‘work’ is also the root word for ‘service’, particularly service to God in worship. By combining the two English words, ‘work’ and ‘worship’, I hope to challenge people to integrate their faith and work. Work does not just refer to what is done in paid employment. I believe God sees work as any purposeful activity requiring focus and effort. It could be housework, schoolwork, caring for children ...

"What does the bible say about dating? Nothing and Everything!

The foundation for a healthy, Godly marriage begins while dating." ~ Richard D. PhillipsDo you have difficulty understanding what Christian dating is all about? Do you ever wonder about what it takes to date successfully ...

In recent years there have been some excellent books written about faith in the workplace.But as I talk to normal, everyday Christians, I've found that very few people seem to really believe and embrace the truth that the Holy Spirit wants to help believers in their daily work just as much as when they contribute at church.

True leadership comes from the inside out, not the top down. The way we lead and influence people, in a ministry context, is not only by our words, decisions, directives or position, but also by the authenticity and example of our lives. It’s about who we are within. It’s about leading ourselves so we can effectively lead others. It’s exercising leadership in and over our own lives. This is called ‘self-leadership’. This book is about ‘self-leadership’—the intentional practice of disciplin...

What are the 'sacred cows' of the Christian life? Why are they there? And should they be challenged? For the sake of the future of the church, Dave Gilpin has become the smiling assassin of the holy cow.

This book teaches the power of invitation. It may sound simple, but we are so caught up in our busy church lives that we have missed it. In 2004 Michael Harvey gave up a high-flying job in the City of London to teach church leaders to see new possibilities, using an approach that has quickly become established as Back to Church Sunday. Michael likes to challenge churches of all sizes to double their congregation in a day. In 2009 at least 80,000 new people came to church in Britain through...

In this six-session video Bible study (DVD/digital downloads sold separately), bestselling author Dr. David Jeremiah reminds us that the Christian life is to be lived looking forward and with our eyes fixed on the race in front of us—not looking back over at our shoulder at the other runners or the past. In the Bible, the apostle said as much when he wrote, "Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has als...
