The Church of Irresistible Influence
A Review of the Book by Robert Lewis
Kurt Skelly
August 06, 2012
Robert Lewis pastored a large church in Little Rock, Arkansas. Yet he believed that although the church had grown to a substantial size, the city remained relatively ignorant of the church’s presence among them and that it was not effective as salt and light upon his community.

Abraham Lincoln: A Man of Faith and Courage
A Review of the Book by Joe Wheeler
Dr. Mark Campbell
July 31, 2012
We live in an age which seeks to rewrite history so as to downplay or even outright remove godly influence from our heritage. Abraham Lincoln has received this historical abuse in recent years. Recently I picked up this book and read it on a trip.

How to Make Your Church Hum
A Review of the Book by Paul Powell
Stephen Benefield
May 25, 2012
I recently read a great little book. It isn’t exactly a book that is “hot off the press.” How To Make Your Church Hum was written in 1977, and it came into my possession the same way most of my books do—via a used bookstore. A few years ago I saw this book for sale, and its title caught my attention.

Amusing Ourselves to Death
A Review of the Book by Neil Postman
Kurt Skelly
October 29, 2011
Neil Postman certainly knew what he was talking about. Although he passed away several years ago, his ideas are as relevant today (and even more so with the advent of the internet) than they were when he penned his words a quarter of a century ago.

Nothing to Win But the World
A Review of the Book by Clay Cooper
Stephen Benefield
October 21, 2011
There is no shortage today of books on missions, and I have certainly read my share. Aside from individual missionary biographies, there are three books that I have read in recent years which stand out in my mind as some of the most challenging books I have ever read. One of them is Nothing to Win But the World.

Developing the Leaders Around You
A Review of the Book by John Maxwell
Joshua Teis
August 08, 2011
In Developing the Leaders Around You, we see that the test of leadership is not how many followers do I have, but how many leaders am I developing. If we as ministers are able to effectively take those who are following us and develop them to become leaders in the church, we have effectively multiplied our ministry.

Surprising Insights from the Unchurched
A Review of the Book by Thom Rainer
Joshua Teis
July 02, 2011
Surprising Insights from the Unchurched by Thom Rainer is a book that surveys those that Rainer refers to as the formerly unchurched. As opposed to many of Barnes research studies that merely survey those that are unchurched, Rainer goes further to find those who were unchurched and why they have chosen to get involved in church, and what influences helped them to make these important decisions.
