Top 10 Crucial Mistakes Of Young Pastors And Some Older Ones Too
$18.11
In his hard-hitting, no-punches-pulled, aggressive style, Ron Stout “calls them as he sees them.” His goal? To help young pastors focus on the most important aspects of their ministry. His method? Delivering a comprehensive, progressive list of pastoral mistakes he has observed over his lifetime. The rankings of the mistakes are Ron’s alone. You may not agree with him on the positioning of the mistakes, but you will probably agree they all belong somewhere on the list. Ron’s editor comments that the book is ” . . . not only directed to pastors young and aged but also to the church as the body of Christ.” Use Top Ten Mistakes as a classroom text, a study guide, or a handy reference. Or read it just for enjoyment. RON STOUT was raised in Los Angeles, California and earned his B.A. in pre-medicine at Occidental College. Following two Korean tours as a Navy officer on a destroyer, Ron attended L.I.F.E. Bible College , majoring in biblical Greek and theology and graduating with a BTh. With children arriving, Ron worked in a corporate office in Los Angeles while attending USC in the evenings as a graduate student in the School of Business. Ron and his family then moved to San Diego County, where Ron spent 21 years in the stock market as a broker, a branch manager of a NYSE member firm, and an independent registered Investment Advisor. Many of his experiences in this book occurred while Ron and his wife, Corinne, were living on their beautiful ranch in Julian, California. They then moved to Arizona where Ron studied agriculture at the University of Arizona. The Stout’s plunged into apple orchards and the Cider Mill, a highly visible retail operation on Interstate 10 from 1989 until 2011. Today, Ron and Corinne live on their Arizona ranch with their daughter, Robin, and her family living nearby.

Contagious Faith : Discover Your Natural Style For Sharing Jesus With Other
$18.99As a follower of Christ you know–at least deep down–that you were created for more than just loving your family, building your career, or attending weekly church services. We were made to share God’s love with others in ways that can impact their lives and redirect their eternities.
But few of us are naturally comfortable doing this. We wrestle with internal fears, a lack of preparation, and the sense that reaching out to others might force us to act like someone we’re not. We want to encourage people spiritually, but we don’t want to get weird or overbearing in the process. We need to be equipped to talk to people about Jesus in ways that fit our God-given personalities, and we would benefit greatly from an infusion of fresh inspiration and practical ideas.
In Contagious Faith, bestselling author and teacher Mark Mittelberg introduces you to the five Contagious Faith Styles–Friendship-Building, Selfless-Serving, Story-Sharing, Reason-Giving, and Truth-Telling–and helps you discover which of these approaches (or combination of them) will enable you to naturally share your faith in Jesus with the people around you. He also explains in a down-to-earth fashion several key skills that will help you communicate your faith in infectious ways, illustrating his message with real-life accounts of ordinary believers who applied these principles for extraordinary impact.
Mark Mittelberg was the primary author of the celebrated Becoming a Contagious Christian course, through which he helped nearly two million people around the world learn to communicate their faith. Now, with clear teaching, compelling stories, and inspiring motivation, his new Contagious Faith book will help you share the good news of Jesus effectively–even in our increasingly resistant culture.

Abolition Of Man
$17.99In this graceful work, C. S. Lewis reflects on society and nature and the challenges of how best to educate our children. He eloquently argues that we need as a society to underpin reading and writing with lessons on morality and in the process both educate and re-educate ourselves. In the words of Walter Hooper, “If someone were to come to me and say that, with the exception of the Bible, everyone on earth was going to be required to read one and the same book, and then ask what it should be, I would with no hesitation say The Abolition of Man. It is the most perfectly reasoned defense of Natural Law (Morality) I have ever seen, or believe to exist. If any book is able to save us from future excesses of folly and evil, it is this book.” This beautiful paperback edition is sure to attract new readers to this classic book.
