    Everybody loves a good story.

    by Steve Addison
    Foreword by Dave Ferguson

    God's mission needs movement leaders.

    Jesus pioneered something completely new in human history—a dynamic missionary movement intent on reaching the world. His mission is as clear and as relevant today as in the days of the early church: to make disciples everywhere, baptizing them and teaching them to obey everything Jesus has commanded. But the potential of the church remains untapped. ...

    Speaking by the Numbers

    Enneagram Wisdom for Teachers, Pastors, and Communicators

    by Sean Palmer
    Foreword by Suzanne Stabile

    It's not just what you say, but how you say it.

    Good communicators know this, but it's often easier said than done.

The art of communication requires more than the transfer of information; it both connects with ...

    Awaken Your Senses

    Exercises for Exploring the Wonder of God

    by J. Brent Bill and Beth A. Booram

    Perhaps you've been missing out. God has given us five senses and a brain with two sides. Yet we often approach God in one way only: through words that are analyzed and processed logically in our left brain. The right brain, however, is the creative, intuitive center--the place that connects most to our seeing, smelling, touching, tasting and hearing, and that roots experiences in our hearts in ...
