Book Description
The issue is church health, not church growth—if your church is healthy, growth will occur naturally. So how do we make healthy churches, driven by purpose? In order for any church to thrive, it must be built around the five New Testament purposes given to the church by Jesus Christ. In this classic of Christian church stability, pastor and bestselling author of The Purpose Driven Life Rick Warren unpacks this proven five-part strategy that will enable your church to grow: Warmer through fellowship. Deeper through discipleship. Stronger through worship. Broader through ministry. Larger through evangelism. Every church is driven by something. Tradition, finances, programs, personalities, events, seekers, and even buildings can each be the controlling force in a church. But Warren will show you how to concentrate on building people and let God build the church. In other words, healthy, consistent growth is the result of balancing the five biblical purposes of the church. And The Purpose Driven Church will show you how to do that. “The Purpose Driven Church has brought focus and direction to more pastors and church leaders than you can count. What a gift!”—John Ortberg, bestselling author.

Book Description
In a world of church culture that has so many broken families, our churches have become broken; broken families produce broken churches. This state of the church has not gone unnoticed in the last five or so years and many pastors and leaders have tried to come up with solutions to pick back up the pieces of the church and put her back together again. But in some regards we have tried to do it backwards. We have addressed the church corporately, trying to heal and restore ourselves from the outside rather than addressing the root of the issues lying within the people, the families that are the church. Just as much as healing and restoration in individuals must start from the inside out, the healing of our church must start the same way. At the core of every church is the family. The family was the first entity God created (way before the church herself), the one He chooses to multiply His kingdom through, and the one who Satan Himself is after. I believe the paradigm of family ministry I divinely "fell" into and now pursue and run after, is a significant answer to the broken families of our church. The work of the Lord within families has a rippling effect, touching every aspect of the church herself. The paradigm of presence-driven family ministry I am about to share with you is not meant to replace your children's ministry or certainly not adult ministry. It is meant to be its own separate arm of children's ministry where the focus is completely centered around family. It is to be an intentional effort to host regular family gatherings or services that engage both kids and parents into the presence of God, the deep word of God, and gifts of God through a unique paradigm and blueprint. In the recent years family ministry has become a "buzz" word within the children's ministry community in response to the understanding that the family must be addressed in the church. However, although there is nothing wrong with family fun nights, bowling parties, and movie nights, this is not what our family ministry is about. Although fun in its own right, presence-driven family ministry addresses the spiritual aspects of the family according to the blueprint and heart of God set be-fore us in His word. In this book you will find God's heart for the generations, how the family entity fits into God's Kingdom plan, vision casting as to why presence-driven family ministry is so important and desperately needed in the body, the benefits and fruit of this type of ministry, and a step by step blueprint on how to start and pursue presence-driven family ministry in your church. If you are willing to come along on this journey with me, I promise your families, your children's ministry, and your church, will never be the same!

Book Description
While other churches are seeking more people, the Presence based church is seeking more of God. The Presence of God on the Ark of the Covenant was Israel's provision, authority, identity and joy. Today the same divine Presence is perfected and glorified in the Ark of the New Covenant -- Jesus Christ. We are to put Him at the very center of our camp and minister first to Him, as a living offering of worship. He is the source of our provision, authority, identity and joy. He is the reason we exist as a church.

Book Description
Progressive Christianity is an ethos, a mind set, more than a movement. It is indebted to political progressivism and postmodern philosophy. It has a trajectory, which is secularism. In Deconstructing Progressive Christianity John Piippo explains this ethos, with its corresponding trajectory. He explains the differences between historic Christianity and progressive Christianity, and finds the latter to be a different kind of religion. In the process of deconstruction we see key missing elements, such as atonement theory, the resurrection of Christ, and non-natural realities. The idea of moral and spiritual human progress is seen as a myth, and progressive beliefs about love are examined. In this book you will come to better understand the progressive ethos as it relates to religion, and why progressive Christianity is best understood as distant from historic Christianity.
