Einstein is quoted as having said, “If I had an hour to solve a problem I'd spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and five minutes thinking about solutions.” The point he makes is important: preparation has great value to problem solving. Einstein knew that problems are full of clues to their own successful solution. Sometimes we can not see those clues, because the problem is too large, staring us in our face, and enveloping our every-thought. That's when we need the set of 'fresh eyes' from others. In this book I've taken hundreds of quotes from my notes over the past four ...

I've traveled around the world for years and years now, interacting with thousands of people and, consistently, I find there are about eleven questions I'm continually asked.

Quentin needs to put it all behind him, enough of the pity brigade. What better way to do just that than by jumping into Sorrowsong, the greatest MMO that ever existed, that's now available in true VR? But there’s always a catch, or more like a big flaw, unless you consider a mind-reading quest-giver to be a minor glitch. Now the QG is in his head, rooting up memories that are best left buried. The game is playing Quentin.

Much can be (and has been) written and said about Church Growth, and the Church Assimilation processes. My intention, in this book, is not to overwhelm you with the details of either of these two topics, but, rather, to give you a basic, workable, strategy that you will be able to build upon and customize to your own church, and culture. Church Growth is certainly important; especially to the heart of God. Nevertheless, if most of the people coming in your “front door” are very soon afterwards exiting through your “back door”, there will be very little, if any, church growth (more ...

Modern physics tells us that you create your own reality, based on where you place your attention. The new physics is proving what the mystics have always told us.

God created us as a tripartite, having a body, soul and spirit; but most importantly He created us to be relational – with Him, and with others. In His Great Commission, found in Matthew 28, He instructed us to “Go Make Disciples”; and the best way to do that is not in the ‘rows’ of churches, but in the complementing ‘circles’ of Small Group Ministries within and outside of the church. This book is designed to introduce you to the Who, What, When, Where, Why and How of Small Group Ministries – starting with the WHY. Whether you are just forming your Small Group Ministry, or ...

"Go Make (Pentecostal) Disciples" is an easy to use, methodical, strategic book to help Christians to be obedient to the Great Commission of Matthew 28:19. It is a 52 chapter book, that can be used as a one-year weekly devotional.

Translating the Bible involved (and still today involves) more than merely interpreting words and/or thoughts, and consequently has left us with some misunderstood verses, which frequently has also led to misquoting those same passages. This book addresses 52+ of those verses and, in addition to helping the reader, would be a great resource for sermon starters, mid-week Bible studies, or small group discipleship. In addition to clarifying some of the misinterpreted words, the ‘back story’ to some of the verses is shared in an effort to better illustrate the intention of the author.

Whether you are emerging from the Covid-19 Pandemic, planting a church, revitalizing a church, or simply striving for church growth; you will find this timely, relevant, scriptural, and practical suggestions found in this book to be most beneficial.

“STATEMENTS Your Church Needs” addresses how to write a Mission Statement, Vision Statement, Core Values Statement, and Beliefs Statement unique to your community which is short and concise; that everyone in your church (or organization) can know, recite, and clearly understand. The premise being: If you want to reach people no one else is reaching, you will have to do things no one else is doing. This book will show you how.

A ministry to the Builders, Boomers, and Generation X who are typically over age 50. At one time called Senior Adult Ministry, but now the title “Senior Adult” is considered offensive to many since these generations are living much longer than before, and some literally are potentially spending the second half of their life in retirement. This book is for those desiring to stay engaged with the church during their retirement years. It is primarily the same book as my book, "Senior Adult Ministries: Taking Your Senior Adult Ministry to the Next Level", with a few changes and updates, and...

Today, in the Western Culture, we have eight very distinct generations with very different cultural, political and economic influences; and these generational differences are causing great challenges in our schools, workplaces, and even in our churches. This book will give you a brief overview of six of those generations, and will also give you marketing ideas for reaching them. These unique differences are causing some churches to target a specific generation(s), while other churches are painfully navigating the challenges to blend multiple generations. I pray this resource will help you ...

An in-depth examination of how fasting brings health to your body, soul, and spirit.; both medically proven with research sources documented, and a Scriptural review of the nine different fasts that are outlined in the Bible.

We have multiple interruptions every day. Will we appropriately respond, or, inappropriately react to the interruption? How were interruptions handled in the Old Testament and New Testament, and what were the results? A great Bible study book.

To the Corinthians, (1 Co. 2:9) the Apostle Paul wrote: “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” But there are gentle ideas suggested throughout Scripture through symbolisms, typologies, and metaphors which are indicative of future events and experiences that await us. Read about some of them here. Future events are cataloged and explained.

The prophecy in Matthew 24:14, “this gospel shall be preached in all the world and then will the end come”, has significant implications for Christian mission and evangelism; and it highlights the significance of global gospel preaching and its relationship to the end times. This book details who, what, when, where, why and how it will be accomplished, in the details you may have never considered before.

Two thousand years ago Jesus laid the foundation for His church, and for over three years He instructed His disciples in the fundamentals and mission the church should follow. In the ensuing years since then, His church has encountered much opposition and persecution from endemics, societal leaders, cultures, religions, and more. As of this writing His church is once again encountering global oppression caused by the Covid-19 Pandemic, which has caused church doors to be closed, and has interrupted worship on several levels. Nevertheless, it is His church, and He has assured us that the ...
