I have written this book for the non-Christian. If you are a person who does not attend church or has had little to no Christian/church upbringing, then this book is for you. I have sought to eliminate any religious language that would be familiar only to Christians. While I quote extensively from the Bible, I deliberately chose not to include the Scripture references so the text does get bogged down with unfamiliar books and locations (example, 2 Chronicles 29:15). All Bible verses are set off in quotation marks.

For two decades, Mike Cinelli fought tirelessly to break free from the clutches of heroin and crack cocaine addiction. But a transformational encounter with Jesus Christ healed the broken pieces of his life and gave him a redemptive story that will inspire anyone looking for hope. In this raw and inspiring Christian memoir, Mike Cinelli describes his personal struggles with drug addiction and the profound grace that led him to the feet of his Savior.

In all areas of life and leadership, we create very new ways of being with self and others. This book is full of leadership materials from my lifetime of various sources, including Healthy Congregations, Inc., an organization whose focus is around growing thoughtful leaders. A congregation, though commonly referred to as a spiritual group, is actually any group that is interacting and united in a common purpose, including relationships and families.

We often view authority as something oppressive, stifling, even fearful. And sometimes—perhaps too often—those impressions bear out in reality. We live in an era of overstepped boundaries and abuse in many fields of life, so that authority has become the enemy.

Author Dustin Schadt offers a biblical and theological basis for seeing people, outlines practical ways that individuals, families, schools, nonprofits, small groups, churches, and other organizations can collectively value, focus on, and respond to the world around us. Our care builds a bridge of trust strong enough to bear the weight of our gospel conversations.

Champion Mentors are inspiring stories set in sonnet form that explore the qualities of certain winners around us who inspire us through their words and actions. Did God make us all equal? Is one human above the rest? With the exception of Mary, the answer is no. So how do certain people excel far above the rest if we are all mostly the same? Each story in Champion Mentors is a refreshing look at the qualities that make and define the character of the people that have, in our earthly judgment, excelled far above the rest in their respective fields.

A common claim in modern American Christianity is that you don’t have to go to church to be a Christian. The writers of the New Testament, however, would find a Christian faith separate from the church to be unrecognizable. Dean Inserra has often said to his congregation, “There is more to being a Christian than going to church, but there certainly isn’t less.” Belonging to a local church is not something made up by a Christian subculture. The local church was God’s design.

Preachers are ambassadors of Christ and heralds of God, holding out Jesus so that their listeners trust, worship, and adore him. This is a high calling, and for that we need a clear vision and great encouragement. Let this book lift your perspective and fire you up to preach with holy boldness and joy. The spiritual darkness of our day can indeed be turned back.
