Book Description
These pastoral letters serve as models of compassionate leadership. Jack Miller taught that a Christian leader should be the chief servant, and that right attitudes come only from a heart changed by an encounter with God. Miller leads his reader into a deeper understanding of the gospel and a life of humility, faith, and prayer. Miller gently challenges those called to serve as leaders to find their primary motivation in the glory of God alone. Book jacket.

Red Letters

Book Description
"I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me."? Matthew 25:42-43 ESV In many Bibles, Christ’s words are set apart with a red font. It should be obvious, but this distinction helps remind us that when God becomes Man and that Man speaks—it’s probably something we cannot afford to miss. So why doesn’t the church take these “red letters” to heart? Why aren’t we doing more to be Christ’s hands and feet to the poor, the disenfranchised, the weary, the ill, the fatherless, the prisoners? It’s all there—in red letters. Why has the Church shirked its responsibilities, leaving the work to be done by governments, rock stars, and celebrities? The Gospel wasn’t only meant to be read—it was meant to be lived. From the HIV crisis in Africa to a single abused and lonely child in Russia, the Church must seize the opportunity to serve with a radical, reckless abandon. Author Tom Davis offers both challenge and encouragement to get involved in an increasingly interconnected, desperate modern world.

Book Description
We all need love in our lives. Without it, we wouldn't experience happiness, dedication, or determination. We wouldn’t be selfless or kind. Love isn’t just a word, but a feeling, an action … and it’s pure. In this new book titled Letters of Love, 12 inspiring and award-winning authors courageously write their own letters of love. They express the love of themselves to their family, to God, to the world, to those who have passed, and to the people who have shown them, love. Share the authors’ love as they take us on a journey to show the people in their lives and yours what is possible and how much they care. Letters of Love might even encourage you to love beyond measure, show kindness and hope, and be the light in the dark that so many seek. Authors Melissa Desveaux Melysa Aldiano Naomi Beverly Willema Girard Libby Monica Sarah Pridham Rebekah Samuel Veronica Sanchez Kerri-Ann Sheppard Abigail Sinclaire Nor Suhir David Vine Reviews “I absolutely love Veronica’s letter. I think it is exactly what we need, especially in times like these. It makes you realize what are the important things in life, how to cherish them and appreciate them. The secret is in love and appreciation.” - Anna Yaramboykova CEO Kicks Academy Professional Development LTD- London, UK *** "Rebekah’s letter of love touched my heart like no other. Not just because she speaks from a place of deep understanding but because she so directly speaks to MY heart in her words. It brings what the world believes love to be into the light and shares who love is." - Carole Jean Whittington Mind Your Autistic Brain with Social Autie *** "Sarah's letter is moving and inspirational. After going through such unimaginable loss, it is a testament to her strength that she continues to create a lasting legacy for Jasper. Sarah's letter offers a different perspective on grief and how we change after a person we love is gone." - Rhiannon Koch "A meaningful, heartwarming letter written to Melissa's sons. It is so raw, loving & thoughtful, I shed tears in my eyes. Just beautiful.” *** “A beautiful testimony from a loving son to his beloved mother.

It is such a gift, written with a powerful empowering message. I sat here and cried reading it, it’s amazing and I’d recommend it to anyone because I love it so much!” - Arjaye, Cozy Woodland Cottage Knits *** "This letter is a deep and compassionate expression of the different types of love and challenges of life. It addresses different readers with memories of joy, sorrow, and redemption!" - Sandra Bisson - Miss France 2002 *** An inspiring story for entrepreneurs, as well as anyone recovering from a stroke or a sudden diagnosed debilitating disease - - Nieves M.

Servants of the Servant
Author: Don N. Howell Jr.
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1498273041
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
Leadership is a subject that has gained impressive visibility in the past two decades. The number of books, monographs and articles, as well as seminars, devoted to the development of one's leadership skills has been almost exponential growth. This study is an attempt to forge a full-orbed theology of Christian leadership grounded in the teaching of Scripture. What emerges from tracing the theme of leadership through the biblical record is a servanthood pattern, one that is wholly distinct from prevailing secular models. Our exposition begins with the biblical language of the servant, the term of choice for those great leaders used of God to further his saving purposes in the world. Eleven Old Testament and five New Testament leaders are profiled. The portrait of Jesus Christ focuses on three motifs that governed his training of the twelve for kingdom ministry. The Pauline letters are mined for those convictions that governed Paul's practice of leadership, both of his mission team and of the faith communities that emerged from that mission. The treatment of each leader, from Joseph to Paul, begins with a series of preliminary questions and concludes with a mini-profile that correlates the biblical data with these questions. The final chapter offers a summary profile of the servant leader, one whose character, motives and agenda align with the divine purposes. Though designed as a textbook for upper level college and seminary courses on leadership, the book's readable format is ideal for churches and parachurch organizations in their leadership training programs. The author's prayer is that this work will serve as a catalyst to call God's people back to Scripture and thereby raise up a whole new generation of authentic servant-leaders.
