Book Description
CHRISTIANITY TODAY'S PASTORAL/CHURCH LEADERSHIP BOOK OF THE YEAR 2017 “In my first seminary class, we were asked to introduce ourselves and say why we enrolled. I’ll never forget what one student said… ‘My denomination wants me to have an M.Div., but once they see I can grow a big church, I don't think they'll make me finish the program.’” The priorities of this future pastor were startling, but he’s not alone in them.In the years since that class, author and minister Skye Jethani has seen more and more pastors swallowed by the celebrity syndrome. Not long ago, ministers were among the most trusted and admired people in our culture. But not anymore. A 2013 study from Gallop revealed that Americans’ admiration for clergy has reached an all-time low. That, taken with reduced trust of institutional religion overall, makes it easy to see why ministers feel insecure about their calling. In response to this trend, some pastors have looked to emulate those who are praised by the culture—business leaders, entertainers, and social activists. This has led to a new understanding of what a minister should be. We’ve turned away from viewing our pastors as shepherds, and now expect them to be celebrities. Immeasurable will help ministers recognize the cultural forces shaping their view of the calling, and then reimagine what faithful church leaders can look like in the twenty-first century. Through short essays and reflections on the pastor’s soul and skills, this book will help prospective pastors explore their calling to ministry, and it will help veteran pastors reframe their vision for the work. Drawing on cultural dynamics, personal stories, and his own experience working in a church and with church leaders, Skye Jethani will address matters like ambition, anger, community, consumerism, fame, health, justice, platform, preaching, rest,simplicity, success, vision, and more. There are endless resources to help pastors do the practical work of ministry, but there are far fewer that speak to the pastor’s soul and spirit. Immeasurable provides affirmation and encouragement for church leaders faithfully serving God. It commends the true work of ministry—shepherding, teaching, encouraging—while redefining what we mean by success in ministry. It’s a book church leaders can return to again and again for insight and inspiration.

Book Description
John 3:31-36 is a passage that bothers many translators of the Bible, but in this booklet compiled from Life-study of John, Witness Lee opens these verses in a clear and marvelous way. Although the Lord Jesus was born in a manger and raised in the house of a poor carpenter, these verses reveal an unlimited, all-inclusive, and immeasurable Christ. “He is higher than the heavens and broader than the universe. He is everything, and everything is for Him” (p. 2).

Book Description
I was privileged to read Minister OBrien Awuahs manuscript The Immeasurable Mercy And Grace of God, and I am grateful I did. This is one of the most practical, informative and inspiring presentations on the present day Christian life. This book has not come from the world of psychological confi gurations; instead it has come from a compassionate and prayerful searching of scripture. Gods grace, according to the author is found in Jesus Christ, and Christ is Gods gift of Immeasurable Mercy. Yes, it is of the Lords immeasurable mercies and grace that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: Great is thy faithfulness (Lamentations 3:22-23). Gods immeasurable mercy and grace though abounding create and demand a change in our lives. Therefore, my Christian friends, I challenge you to read chapter eight (8) of the book over and over again and your life will never be the same. You will not only be blessed; you will be a blessing.

Book Description
There have been several books written by and about service members that have served during the Iraq War. "The Immeasurable Spirit: Lessons of a Wounded Warrior about Faith and Perseverance," was superbly written by an author with the personal insight and experience of a person who has faced and overcome tremendous adversity. Latoya Lucas brings us face to face with our inner- selves while simultaneously sharing her experiences of perseverance and faith even after suffering severe wounds from her service with the U.S. Army in Iraq. Why is it that some people are able to overcome their fears and persevere through life's adversities? By reading Latoya's story, you will come to understand how a person with faith and determination could rely on that faith when tested during an unbelievable hardship. Tom Brokaw, journalist and NY Times bestselling author, says "The Immeasurable Spirit" is a remarkable story of patriotism, courage, near death, recovery and inspiration."

Book Description
From the number of figures on our paychecks to the digits staring back at us from the bathroom scale, we often gauge our success by the numerical standards of this world – but there are some things that cannot be measured. Immeasurable is the personal story of a young woman who has found freedom from “measuring up” by seeking the One who numbers and names the stars, the One who gives graciously from the overflowing abundance of His love.

Book Description
There is no shortage of our promised blessings as God's children. We should expect to receive from Him if we believe the promises He's given us in His Word. This would indicate that we believe He lied when He gave us these promises and throughout the Bible, we are told repeatedly that God can't lie. To believe otherwise shows that we have no confidence in God's word. Ephesians 3:20-21 says, "OUR GOD CAN DO EXCEEDING ABUNDANTLY ABOVE ALL THAT WE CAN ASK OR EVEN THINK, ACCORDING TO THE POWER THAT WORKS IN US." This power is our faith. Our faith in God! It is by faith we receive from Him, for Jesus said, "According to your faith, let it be unto you" (Matt 9:29). So where is your faith? God can exceed above all you can ask or even think! If you are ever going to experience God's blessings, you must believe in His ability and willingness to bless you outrageously. Many say, "Well, it's not all about me." That's exactly right. We were put here for God's pleasure (Rev 4:11). What is his pleasure? To bless, care for and prosper His children. We bring Him honor and glory when our lives are fruitful, for He takes pleasure in the prosperity of His children (Psalm 149:4). If you know that God loves you, cares for you, and wants to bless you, doesn't it make sense that you should believe Him for His best in your life? Proverbs 10:24 says, "The desire of the righteous shall be granted." If He will give us the desires of our hearts, don't you think He will go over and beyond our basic needs? This BOOK explains the fact that the greatness of God is unfathomable. A careful look at creation will give us an insight into the greatness of God. God wants us to have an insight into His greatness so that we may fear and respect Him. Release your faith and believe Him for great things, for He is more than able and willing to give you the desires of your heart. GET A COPY NOW!

Book Description
Can your thoughts heal another person, even from across the globe? Does meditation create "superhuman" levels of perception? Can prayer and intention actually affect reality? A few decades ago, scientists would have dismissed such ideas as superstition. Today, a growing body of persuasive research has turned many skeptics into believers when it comes to the power of spirituality. Measuring the Immeasurable brings together some of the most prominent authorities on the new frontier where science and spirit intersect, including: Bruce H. Lipton (The Biology of Belief) on the science of epigenetics, and how consciousness shapes our health, genetics, and evolution • Lynne McTaggart (The Field) with the latest findings on the power of mind over matter from her ongoing "Intention Experiment" • Gregg Braden (The Divine Matrix and The God Code) on how how prayer and intention can affect events on a global scale • Gary Small (The Longevity Bible) on lifestyle changes that improve brain function • Daniel Goleman (Social Intelligence) on the "brain’s melody" and our moment-to-moment perceptions • Candace Pert (Molecules of Emotion) on the intimate relationship between mind and body • Thought-provoking articles from other modern luminaries, including Peter Russell, Larry Dossey, Andrew Newberg, Dean Radin, Suzanne C. Segerstrom, Jeanne Achterberg, Marilyn Schlitz, Peter Levine, and more As we use the methods of science to examine spiritual practices such as meditation, yoga, and energy healing, not only do we see evidence for the tangible benefits of these "technologies of the mind," but we are also beginning to illuminate the missing links in our understanding of evolution, physics, and our role in the universe. Filled with leading-edge research, startling discoveries, and the breakthrough ideas of some of today’s most innovative thinkers, Measuring the Immeasurable is an invaluable resource for exploring the mysteries of the quantum age—and what this new science will mean for your life.

Book Description
Human beings were created to reflect the image of God—but only to a limited extent. Although we share important attributes with God (love, mercy, compassion, etc.), there are other qualities that only God possesses, such as unlimited power, knowledge, and authority. At the root of all sin is our rebellious desire to be like God in such ways—a desire that first manifested itself in the garden of Eden. In None Like Him, Jen Wilkin leads us on a journey to discover ten ways God is different from us—and why that’s a good thing. In the process, she highlights the joy of seeing our limited selves in relation to a limitless God, and how such a realization frees us from striving to be more than we were created to be.
