 The Grace Awakening
by Charles Swindoll
The Grace Awakening calls all Christians to wake up and reject living in such legalistic, performance-oriented bondage. The God of the universe has given us an amazing, revolutionary gift of grace and freedom. This freedom and grace set us apart from every other "religion" on the face of the earth.
In this best-selling classic, Charles Swindoll urges you not to miss living a grace-filled life. Freedom and joy-not lists and demands and duties-await all who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.
With his characteristic style and gentle authority, Swindoll disarms the counter-attack of all those who would not preach grace-filled living and who would claim that focusing on grace would fill our churches with wild, undisciplined people with no godliness in evidence. Yes, Swindoll says, teaching and preaching grace is risky. Some may push the limits and misuse their freedom. But grace is the message of the gospel...the good news of salvation. As Christians, we sing about God's amazing grace. We understand that we are saved by grace. Let's learn to live by grace! Discover how in The Grace Awakening.

 The Heart of a Great Pastor
by H.B. London and Neil Wiseman
A great pastor is not measured by the size of the congregation, weekly attendance, or the number of conversions each year. A great pastor is measured by a willingness to serve in any circumstances, even the most humble.
It's not always easy. Other pastors may seem more successful, or have more programs, or pack the pews every Sunday. You may wonder - is this really what God has called me to do?
Whether you are a veteran pastor wanting to take a fresh look at your ministry, or a new pastor just starting out, you'll find help and inspiration here. The journey may be long and difficult, but God has a unique plan for you and your ministry.
You'll find practical tools here for becoming stronger personally and spiritually. Do you have a mentor? Discover why having one can make all the difference to your ministry. Do you spend as much time in study and Scripture as you do in trying to boost attendance? Learn why making time for spiritual growth is not optional - it's imperative.
Through the wise and encouraging words of authors H.B. London and Neil Wiseman you'll discover how to turn your obstacles into stepping-stones. You'll be pushed to take risks. They'll remind you that God wants every ministry to bloom, bear magnificent fruit, and put down deep roots. Learn from them how God has a remarkable record of helping ordinary people in difficult circumstances, and consider their victories as promises for your own victory in ministry.
Your greatest adventure is ahead!
