Dangerous Calling : Confronting The Unique Challenges Of Pastoral Ministry
$18.99
Pastor and Bestselling Author Paul David Tripp Helps Church Leaders Diagnose and Cure Unhealthy Pastoral Culture
After traveling the world for many years and speaking at hundreds of churches of all kinds, Paul David Tripp is concerned about the state of pastoral culture. He is not only concerned about the spiritual life of the pastor but with the very people who train him, call him, relate to him, and restore him when necessary. Dangerous Calling reveals the truth that the culture surrounding our pastors is spiritually unhealthy–an environment that actively undermines the well-being and efficacy of our church leaders and thus the entire church body. Here is a book that both diagnoses and offers cures for issues that impact every member and church leader, and gives solid strategies for fighting the war that rages not only in the momentous moments of ministry, but also in the mundane day-by-day life of every pastor. This edition includes study questions that prompt engaging discussion and reflection on each chapter.
*Essential Insights for Church Leadership: Looks at the struggle of the pastor, but actively exhorts the culture that trains and supports him
*A Great Resource for Small Groups: Now with study questions, this guide appeals to anyone who is serious about being part of a healthy church
*Practical: Highlights a series of temptations that are unique to or intensified by pastoral ministry and gives biblical advice for dealing with each

God Of All Things
$19.99Abstract theology is overrated. In the contemporary West, we’re desperately in need of rediscovering God through ordinary, physical things we see in the world around us.
Jesus did it all the time. He mentioned a lily, sparrow, sheep, coin, fish, harvest, banquet, lamp, stone, seed, and vineyard to teach about the kingdom of God. In the Old Testament, too, God repeatedly describes himself and his saving work in relation to physical things such as a rock, horn, eagle, shelter, cedar, lion, shield, wave, ox, and so on. “Ask the beasts, and they will teach you; the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you; or the bushes of the earth, and they will teach you” (Job 12:7-8).
In God of All Things, pastor and author Andrew Wilson explores glimpses of the sacred in created things, finding in them illustrations of the character and gospel of God. As humans, we encounter glory through stars and awe through storms. We learn about humanity through dust and about Jesus’s death on our behalf through trees and bread and wine. Ultimately, we meet God in his creation. It is a gallery full of sketches, paintings, and portraits revealing our Maker and Savior.
Wilson presents a variety of created marvels–from figs and galaxies to viruses, pigs, and honey–that reveal the gospel in everyday life and fuel worship and joy in God.
