Reconnect Your Church
$19.99Add to cartA practical, road-tested vision and process to equip church leaders to reinvigorate their church
How can churches stay healthy and dynamic over the long-term? What’s needed to avoid or reverse church stagnation and decline?
While some churches are vibrant and growing, many more are struggling, especially after Covid. The congregation might be declining and ageing, there’s little success in reaching out to with the gospel, and more time is spent on inward facing problems than loving God and loving others. But the potential that could be released is huge.
David Brown draws on his experience revitalising a church in central Paris to offer a vision and a process for church revitalisation, with a focus on UK and European contexts. Whether you are church planting, in a well-established and thriving church, or looking to turn around a church in decline, Brown provides biblically grounded wisdom along with change management principles for long-term health.
When we reapply God’s priorities to the church, we unleash new life and energy in following Christ in community.

All The Parables Of Jesus
$24.95Add to cartLike yeast, parables are explosive stories of Jesus that invade our lives and transform us into citizens of the kingdom of God. But they are also cryptic, and that’s where this book is useful. More than an explanation or interpretation of each parable, this definitive work is primarily an exercise in hermeneutics. In it, readers are taken through a process of discovering which sayings of Jesus are parables, problematic questions related to counting and categorizing them, and Jesus’ rationale for speaking in parables. The work then analyzes four distinct ways that parables are structured and three levels at which they do their work in us. The final chapter presents parable-related hermeneutical guidelines, and the book ends with seven extensive Appendices and two Indexes. It is a “must read” for every biblical scholar!

Like Fire Shut Up In My Bones
$15.99Add to cartLike Fire Shut Up in My Bones is an expose on how the truths found in the Holy Bible are confirmed in the life of a man, with David as its subject. David, throughout much of his life, struggles with the lust of his flesh and the strongholds of substance abuse. Yet, he retains a fiery desire for God and a hunger for His Word. From childhood, he wanted to profess Christ from the rooftops, but found opposition within the pleasure centers of his flesh. God eventually leads David to greater truth and strength in Christ. He surrenders his will over to God, rendering the past strongholds powerless. David becomes fully persuaded that he is no longer his own, but is bought with a price.

Ministry Anointing Of The Prophet Minstrel
$14.99Add to cartThe Ministry Anointing of the Prophet-Minstrel is a Scripture-based study on the office of Prophet coupled with a musical gifting. The author’s experience and study of Scripture will release the anointing that God has ordained for this office, which takes the Body of Christ into a deeper relationship and into the presence of God through worship. When God places the ministries of Prophet and Minstrel into one person, an explosive anointing can be released when properly cultivated. When this anointing is stirred or shaken, as with nitroglycerine, it will explode. Some tasks in the realm of the Spirit are difficult to exercise, but when the Prophet-Minstrel is released to flow, he or she can accomplish with great ease and spiritual ability what may seem difficult for others. Prophet-Minstrels have an anointing to speak words of release and deliverance over the people of God. In addition, they have the authority to activate your ministry destiny and declare victory for the saints. And also as important, the Prophet-Minstrels possess weapons that will cause great damage and defeat to the kingdom of darkness.
