Book Description
You know how people say that the Devil is in the details? Learn how God is in the details through this inspiring book that kicks the Devil out and gives God full reign in the details of planning your church or religious group event. Learn how to: Seek God for direction from the initial idea through the big day. Cultivate positive relationships, even with those who may be difficult or disgruntled. Develop a proven planning time line that will keep you on track, no matter when you start in the process. Keep the event fresh, even if its the umpteenth event anniversary. Kick the Devil out and give him no foothold in the planning process. I have enjoyed reading the book, God Is in the Details, by Evangelist Lynne Shivers. In it she brings out the importance of planning our events with a purpose and with excellence. Often, we do not think about the planning that goes into an event and are discouraged by the results. But if we planned in advance, things would certainly turn out much better. The book also brings out another important point, and that is God is in the details. This is a must-read book; its a great resource guide for any group leader in the planning of an event. I give it two thumbs up. Bishop Gary Harper Pastor, Greater Grace Temple-Taylor, Taylor, MI

I have been blessed tremendously from your column in the online newspaper Nigeriaworld.com. Your piece has often been rich and scripturally authentic. I also have this bias the moment I found out you are a Nigerian. Rev. Israel - Ghana, West Africa Your ministry blessed my life when you spoke in our class at Westside Church on Feb. 3rd. I want to say thank you, for sharing with us about the tripartite nature of man. I look forward to visiting your website and getting your resources online. Shelly - Omaha NE USA I just read another thought provoking article from you today. I saw one of your articles around 2009 on Nigeriaworld.com and I got stuck. You've been able to explain what I could not explain in words. Most of what you write about I perceive in my environment, but could articulate and dissect it well. I got invited to an Exegetical Church around that time, you and a combination of other factors have greatly influence my re-orientation. Thanks for taking time to teach us and expose the truth. Seun - Phoenix USA A very good morning from warm and humid Lagos, Nigeria. I am a management consultant (hospitality industry) and want to let you know that your articles are of immense blessing to me, they not only inspire, motivate and bless me, most importantly it keeps one focused as we journey through life. Henry - Lagos, Nigeria Your article on the hybrid worldview of African Christians is very enriching. You actually make any serious minded Christian reader, understand the real theme of religiosity. Thank you for the writing and I look forward to meeting someday. Caster - Paris, France I just want to say a big thank you for all your articles. I came across your website at a low point in my life, I am very educated and married early and now with 3 children. My spouse recently converted from Christianity because he believes "we" are all hypocrites. I'm focusing on the kids and God, and look forward to what God has in store. Again, thank you for your articles, they've given me inner strength.

Book Description
Starting Right: Thinking Theologically About Youth Ministry is the first academic textbook that introduces youth ministry students (whether undergraduate or graduate level) to a marriage of solid research, real life, and accessible design. Whereas most college-level texts may reflect a thorough (though impenetrable) mastery of the field, they tend to expect readers to plow through unnecessarily thick prose and bland design because “it’s good for them.” Youth Specialties doesn’t agree. In this debut title to a continuing academic book line, college and seminary students will be introduced to real-life research, real-life youth ministry dilemmas, and real-life solutions.Contributing writers represent a spectrum of Christian Education thought and practice, as well as widespread recognition in their field...transdenominational, yet the perfect background to ministry in any denomination or ministry organizationThis text includes thorough indexes, design, and graphics that compel readers from page to page (now that’s a first for a college text!); organization that permits professors to use any part of the text, in any order, rather than plod through the entire book from beginning to end; a perfect primary text that gives students a rich, academic, and readable (though not “popular”) grasp of every aspect of youth ministry a typical Intro course touches, while also serving as an ideal secondary text.

Book Description
In this creative and original book, Paul S. Chung interprets Karl Barth as a theologian of divine action. Chung appreciates Barth's dogmatic theology as both contextual and irregular, and he retrieves the neglected sides of Barth's thought with respect to political radicalism, Israel, natural theology, and religious pluralism.
