We've seen the news stories and heard the rumors. Maybe we ourselves have been hurt by a narcissistic church leader. It's easy to throw the term around and diagnose others from afar. But what is narcissism, really? And how does it infiltrate the church?

In 1898, Mary Baker Eddy, founder of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, delivered a sermon on the subject, “Not Pantheism, but Christian Science,” which is now published in this book format. In it, she explains the vast differences between scientific Christianity and pantheism.

Yader Simpson nos presenta con base bíblica los grandes beneficios que recibimos cuando desarrollamos y vivimos en una cultura de honra. Al trazar esta cultura desde la creación del mundo, aprendemos con ejemplos cómo la honra afirma la identidad, refuerza la confianza y produce felicidad; se cultivan relaciones sólidas; se conserva la salud; recibimos el favor de Dios y de las personas que nos rodean; y la abundancia, la prosperidad y el éxito reinan en nuestras vidas.

In this book, Matthew Loftus unpacks how this kind of "therapy culture" can distort the Christian life. He argues that the church cannot do for people what therapy and psychiatry are designed to do. While church should be a place of healing and love for people who are suffering from mental illness, churches and their leaders should focus on what they are called to do: bringing people together to worship God.

There's a growing frustration among believers who know church-as-usual isn't working. Underneath the crowds and programs, they know something's missing. Confronting this pervasive performance-driven ministry, apostolic leader Isaac Watson issues a bold call to the modern church: to restore heaven's original blueprint for leadership, culture, and mission. Drawing from Scripture and biblical principles, Watson unpacks the essence of apostolic culture—not just as a title or office but as a foundational mindset that builds people, multiplies disciples, and impacts society.

So many Christian leaders today have failed us—yet Jesus still beckons us to pray for laborers to work in His harvest fields. In this insightful, hands-on book, Lee Grady points us to an unlikely apostle named Paul, whose life of courage, sacrifice, and genuine love offers the best template for what a Christian leader should be. While Paul lived centuries ago, the legacy of his poured-out life echoes across the ages—and is the transformed, radical, fully surrendered example we need today.

For far too long the church has tried pathetically to function with only two or three of the gifts available to Christ’s people. He gave us five unique gifts to build up His body so that we think, look, and act like Jesus in this world—something desperately needed in this critical hour. In Primal Fire, Neil Cole shares the surprising truths about the five gifts of Jesus— what they mean, how they reflect Jesus, and the remarkable power and synergy they unleash when we all start to work together to ignite the church’s full potential.

In The Pastor as Midwife, Shawna Songer Gaines brings her pastoral experience alongside her research on the vocation and practices of midwifery to explore a vision of pastoral leadership that is shaped by the wisdom of those who walk alongside expectant mothers. Learning to pastor like a midwife helps us embrace what God is doing in our pain and see new life in unlikely places.

In Pastoring for Monday, Matt Rusten helps you lead your church to form Christians who follow, represent, and commune with Christ amid their daily work. This book equips you to bridge the divide between the sacred and secular, transforming how your church disciples people for the workplace. Rusten shows how you can intentionally change your language and liturgy to celebrate the ordinary working lives of church members, providing concrete discipleship pathways and pastoral priorities for living out the gospel through vocational discipleship.

In Raising Your Voice in Prayer, emerging leader Hannah Brim joins forces with powerhouse intercessors—Billye Brim, Heidi Baker, Germaine Copeland, Patsy Cameneti, and Lynne Hammond—to reveal how Spirit-led prayer can ignite revival in your heart, your home, and your world. Rooted in the deep wells of spiritual heritage and fresh revelation, you’ll be equipped to turn ordinary moments into supernatural encounters with God.

If churches are the dwelling place of God’s spirit, why are so many built around the strategies of man? Eager for growth, leaders can be lured by entertaining new schemes, forgetting doctrinal truth as their driving force. Churches must humbly lean on the sufficiency of God’s word. How to Build a Healthy Church challenges leaders to evaluate their motivations for ministry and provides examples of healthy, deliberate leadership. This is more than a step-by-step plan to mimic; it’s a biblical blueprint for pastors, elders, and anyone committed to the church’s vitality.

The growth of Christianity in the early centuries of the Common Era is one of the most extraordinary stories in world history. What began with a preaching day laborer and his dozen or so disciples soon grew to be the largest religion in the world, eventually taking over the entire Roman Empire. How did that happen? How was such a movement possible?

In The Path to Being a Pastor, Bobby Jamieson explains why it’s better to emphasize “aspiration” over “calling” as men pursue the office of elder and encourages listeners to make sure they are pastorally gifted before considering the role. He shares from his own 11-year experience preparing to be a pastor by walking potential leaders through different stages of ministry training.

How do we make sense of the world's different religions? In today's globalized society, religion is deeply intertwined with every issue we see on the news. But talking about multiple religions can be contentious. Are different faiths compatible somehow? And how can we know whether one religion is more true than another? In this creative thought experiment, Peter Kreeft invites us to encounter dialogues on the world's great faiths.

Explorers Lewis and Clark had to adapt. While they had prepared to find a waterway to the Pacific Ocean, instead they found themselves in the Rocky Mountains. You too may feel that you are leading in a cultural context you were not expecting. You may even feel that your training holds you back more often than it carries you along. Drawing from his extensive experience as a pastor and consultant, Tod Bolsinger brings decades of expertise in guiding churches and organizations through uncharted territory.

Richard Stearns became president of World Vision US in 1998 after spending the first half of his career as a successful executive at corporate giants such as Gillette, Parker Brothers, The Franklin Mint, and Lenox Inc. At World Vision, he inspired a culture of outcome-focused management. His leadership in calling the American church to respond to some of the greatest crises of our time - notably the HIV and AIDS pandemic and the global refugee crisis - challenged other Christian leaders to embrace a bold vision for compassion, mercy, and justice in their work.
