Book Description
"Working with the Holy Spirit is similar to how the rose progresses from bud to a full fledged flower. Like the gifts of the Holy Spirit each petal unfurls in slow progress veiled from the naked eye, yet progressively shapes its destiny. Each stage signals greater expectations until as a full blown flower, man and the birds, bees and the insects come to enjoy its sweet nectar as the aromatic perfume fills the air beckoning us with the promise we long for. The grandeur of this magnificent beauty does not stay with us for long. If we fail to appreciate this mystical bloom because we are taken up with seemingly important matters of the world, we find in our return only the trace of what was as evidenced by scattered petals and a withered calyx on the stem. The sweet perfume that once invaded the atmosphere has now evaporated with no trace of its ambience. If time will be kind to us we may catch a glimpse of another bloom. This book will take you into another dimension of maturity with the Holy Spirit. You will develop a liking to spend quality time with the person of the Holy Spirit, as He becomes your coach and you become addicted to His presence. Every moment with Him becomes another adventure. You will explore new horizons and experience the joy of being a Christian. As He breathes upon you and fills you with the power and strength needed for each birthing experience, you will never be the same again. He will coach you all the way into birthing new visions and dreams destined by God for your life.

Book Description
The Christian Athlete is a gospel-centered guide that assists athletes who identify as Christians and are seeking to understand how to practically apply their faith to their sport.

Author Brian Smith shares his story as an athlete and coach, and his experience working with high-level athletes in the last decade to help readers better understand how to integrate faith and sport by: Assisting those who want a wide-angled understanding of how to live the Christian faith in the context of sports Walking through the many questions Christian athletes ask about winning, losing, injuries, practice, and everything in between Moving Christian athletes from simply having clichéd spiritual sayings decorating their bodies or t-shirts to actually living out their faith through all the opportunities their sport offers them The Christian Athlete will show readers how to live out a biblical perspective on athletics and urge them to engage in the gifts they are given to glorify God whether they are the team MVP or riding the bench.

Gospel Coach
Author: Scott Thomas
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310494346
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
In order to help pastors and other Christian leaders to lovingly lead God’s flock to Jesus Christ and into God’s mission, Scott Thomas and Tom Wood clarify a process of coaching and shepherding that is rooted in the patterns of the Good Shepherd himself, a process in which leaders stir up the gifts, passion, and calling upon others’ lives. This book addresses the needs of the leader, his or her sinful tendencies, and church leadership issues. It directs the leader to the person and work of Jesus. It provides a system to intentionally shepherd leaders to glorify God in their personal, spiritual, and missional lives. Many ministry leaders serving in churches find themselves overwhelmed, disillusioned, and depressed by the enormous and challenging task of leading and ministering in a congregation. As a result, the ministry suffers, the leaders suffer, and the result is often an unhealthy church existent with little or no Gospel influence. These leaders need someone to shepherd their soul so that they can lead others to the Chief Shepherd, Jesus Christ. We suggest that coaching for the church leader looks less like corporate consulting or humanistic psychology and more like biblical-shepherding. We suggest that every church leader needs a Gospel Coach to come alongside with words of truth, wisdom and experience to encourage, admonish, comfort and help—words drawn from Scripture and godly wisdom, grounded in the gracious saving work of Jesus Christ, and presented in the context of a trusting relationship. Gospel Coaching is an intentional relationship to skillfully care for others with four ancient shepherding principles: 1) Know the sheep, 2) Feed the sheep, 3) Lead the sheep, and 4) Protect the sheep. A Gospel Coach both inquires about the personal, spiritual, and missional aspects of a ministry leader’s life in a loving yet focused manner, and also probes the church leader for compulsive unbelief or selfish motivation, or disobedience and sin, and leads the ministry leader back to the Gospel, through belief, repentance and obedience. Churches that desire to be rich in a Gospel application toward their city, their relationships with one another, their communication and worship, as well as their service, will benefit to a greater degree by having their leaders being coached by a Gospel-centered leader.

Encouragement

Languages : en
Pages : 137
Book Description
According to Drs. Larry Crabb and Dan Allender, encouragement is more than a compliment or a pat on the back. It's a skill that can be mastered by anyone. Crabb and Allender ask: "What must we know in order to fulfill the biblical exhortation to 'encourage one another?'" Encouragement provides the answer. Part one deals with understanding encouragement, and part two explores the process of encouragement, including such practical how-tos as developing a careful selection of encouraging words; cultivating active listening skills; using biblical fellowship to move beyond superficial smiles and shallow greetings; and recognizing subtle opportunities for encouragement. Without the encouragement of a caring community, biblical truth taught in church tends to just thicken people's defense layers. But authenticity, freedom, and greater love for God and others are the fruit of encouragement, and evidence of the tremendous power God invests in individuals who practice it.

The Spirit-Led Leader
Author: Timothy C. Geoffrion
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1566996732
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 255
Book Description
In our postmodern, experience-oriented culture, people are longing for greater authenticity, integrity, and depth in their pastors and leaders. Board directors, church members, and staff alike are all eagerly seeking leaders who effectively integrate their spirituality and leadership. Pastors and executives, however, often struggle with knowing how to integrate their spiritual values and practices into their leadership and management roles. Designed for pastors, executives, administrators, managers, coordinators, and all who see themselves as leaders and who want to fulfill their God-given purpose, The Spirit-Led Leader addresses the critical fusion of spiritual life and leadership for those who not only want to see results, but who also desire to care just as deeply about who they are and how they lead as they do about what they produce and accomplish. Geoffrion creates a new vision for spiritual leadership as partly an art, partly a result of careful planning, and always a working of the grace of God

Languages : en
Pages : 213
Book Description
"The Holy Spirit is my ever present friend. I am driven to do my best for the people I have learnt to love. Why did God choose me many years ago to be his messenger?" asks author Phil Goldman. "Life is about following God's teachings. In time, I hope we will all find true peace." Phil has the Holy Spirit as his friend, which gives him untold confidence. He has had an unbelievable life in the Philippines, a place where he came to help as a volunteer for a people who are so happy, yet so poor. God has looked after the author at all times as he experienced many modern day miracles. The author's true story merges politics, religion, and education, a very dangerous brew. He delivers his message to not just the Philippines, but to the world with aplomb in his book The Holy Spirit and I. He gives a description of the afterworld we call heaven, and though he is not very religious, his faith is 100 percent! God sent him an angel who has taught him how to be understanding and charitable. "My next book can only be a continuation of my life story, which in the last six months since ending The Holy Spirit and I has been a journey that is moving and very powerful," he says. Phil Goldman was born in Manchester, England, and is retired. He now lives in the Philippines. He wrote this book because "the creator of all things had chosen me to deliver a message."
