by Robert E. Picirilli
ISBN 0892655690
Price $12.99
Teacher, Leader, Shepherd is not a how-to book for pastors. Instead, it is an examination of the New Testament’s teaching on the pastor’s role in the church. Picirilli, who taught Greek and New Testament at Free Will Baptist Bible College for more than forty years, ably treats the passages that pertain to the pastoral office.
While the author takes an exegetical approach to the passages considered, he includes practical exposition of the implications of those texts. His discussion of the pastor’s call, qualifications, and role is grounded in a careful exegesis of the relevant passages.
This volume will benefit those who are just entering the pastoral ministry as well as those who have pastored for many years. (COMING JULY 2007)
By Joanna Weaver
ISBN 1578562589
Price $13.99
This book is written for every woman who feels she isn’t godly enough, loving enough, or doing enough. Like Mary, many women desire to sit at the Lord’s feet. Yet the hectic routine of their daily life seems to make intimacy with the Lord nothing more than a dream. Others, like Martha, love Jesus and want to serve Him. Weariness, resentment, and feelings of inadequacy—fruits of a frantic lifestyle—make such service seem almost impossible.
Author and pastor’s wife, Joanna Weaver shows Marys and Marthas alike how they can deepen their devotion for the Lord while strengthening their service of Him. By following her creative, practical strategies, those women who choose “the better part” will ex-perience “living-room” intimacy with the Lord that flows naturally into “kitchen” service for Him.
By Kevin Leman
ISBN 1589972074
Price $22.99
Kevin Leman observed that “Hanging out with their families” was the number one placed listed by U.S. teens where they want to spend more time. Yet well-meaning parents continue to sign their kids up for every available activity—music lessons, ballet, choir, one or two sports a season, and academic enrichment programs—in record numbers. The result? Kids are raised by teachers, day cares, coaches, and peers.
Leman’s belief that “Time together at home as a family is the foundation upon which security and stability are built in your children” is the basis of this practical book. His book is full of helpful items such as “Ten Keys to ‘Home Court’ Character” and “Practical Suggestions for Family Meals, Significant Time Together, and More.”
Home Court Advantage is both entertaining and informative. Leman’s wit and wisdom sparkle throughout, making this an invaluable tool for harried parents.
