Book Description
In Perils of Power, Richard Exley takes an in-depth look at immorality in the ministry. It s a complex issue involving the minister s relationship with money, sex and power. There are many factors at work including the minister s self-image and sexual identity, his life-style, his marital relationship, the way he views power and even how he conducts his ministry. Immorality is seldom just a sexual sin and while it is definitely a spiritual problem, it is more than just a spiritual problem. Perils of Power looks beneath the obvious sins of highly visible ministers in an attempt to understand interpersonal dynamics of moral failure among those who recognize it is a deadly sin. Dr. Exley offers scriptural insights and practical strategies for overcoming the temptations we all face. Can immorality in the ministry be prevented? The most honest answer is no; that is, not completely. But rethinking the way we train people for ministry can significantly reduce the casualties.

Book Description
In Ministry there is no such thing as leaving your work at the office. Not only are you responsible for your own life, the lives or your family, but the lives of those that God has entrusted to your care in the earth realm. We are constantly in a fight against the enemies of God, and just in case you haven’t noticed, Satan does not fight fair. It is important to recognize and understand the Perils of Ministry, which is the reason this book was written. It was not written to discourage but to inform. It was written from experience.

Book Description
Life Is Never Mainly About Love and Marriage. So Learn to Live and Date for More. Many of you grew up assuming that marriage would meet all of your needs and unlock God's purposes for you. But God has far more planned for you than your future marriage. Not Yet Married is not about waiting quietly in the corner of the world for God to bring you "the one," but about inspiring you to live and date for more now. If you follow Jesus, the search for a spouse is no longer a pursuit of the perfect person, but a pursuit of more of God. He will likely write a love story for you different than the one you would write for yourself, but that's because he loves you and knows how to write a better story. This book was written to help you find real hope, happiness, and purpose in your not-yet-married life.
