In the 15th century, the Augustinian monk, Thomas Kempis authored one of the most profound Christian works to date. The Imitation of Christ focuses on living the life that Jesus and his followers promoted through ministry, emphasizing the need for isolation and prayer, as well as renouncing worldly vanities and searching for eternal truths as a method of getting closer to Christ and God.

This collection of correspondences between Calvin and Sadoleto is an excellent primary source view of the most controversial issues facing Christians at the time. The split between Reformation and Roman Catholic beliefs was growing ever larger and the consequences more severe. While Calvin writes with deep theological arguments and in defense of individuals searching for truth, Sadoleto’s pleas sound more like an emotional cry for unity, peace-keeping, and the return of the Catholic Church’s lost children.

Former seasoned pastor, Christopher Ash, urges church members to think about pastors not just in terms of what they do, how they lead and pray and preach and teach and so on, but also about who they are. He encourages us to remember that pastors are people and to pray for them as they serve us. Paradoxically, caring for our pastor will be a blessing to us as well as to them, and create a culture of true fellowship in our church family.

I Templari, l'ordine religioso-militare più potente del Medioevo, con tutta probabilità per un certo periodo custodirono la sindone oggi conservata a Torino. Venerato nel più rigido segreto e conosciuto nella sua reale natura solo dai maggiori dignitari dell'ordine, il telo era conservato nel tesoro centrale dei Templari, che avevano fama di essere autorità nel campo delle reliquie. In un'epoca di confusione dottrinale per la Chiesa, la sindone per i Templari poteva essere un potente antidoto contro la diffusione delle eresie.

"In the name of the Father, the Son, and ... the Holy Spirit." We pray in the name of all three, but how often do we live with an awareness of only the first two? As Jesus ascended into heaven, He promised to send the Holy Spirit—the Helper—so that we could be true and living witnesses for Christ.

God has graciously given the church gifted men to feed, guide, and protect His people-to equip the saints, build up the body of Christ, and lead her toward spiritual maturity. Through their faithful ministry, the church is anchored in truth and guarded against deception. Yet in many places, the high calling of the pastor has been diminished. Qualifications are watered down, biblical responsibilities are neglected, and the role is reshaped to suit personal ambitions. Some claim the title of evangelist while advancing sacramental traditions.

In Out of Rows and Into Circles, Joseph P. L. Simmons takes an unflinching look at the evolution of the modern church. With over 25 years of ministry experience, Simmons presents a passionate critique of the seeker-sensitive movement that has reshaped church culture. What began with the noble intention of reaching a broader audience has led to a quiet, yet profound shift—one where comfort often replaces conviction and polished performances overshadow the depth of the Gospel.

The Didache, also known as The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles, is one of the earliest and most important Christian texts outside the New Testament. Brief, practical, and direct, it gives instruction on the Two Ways of life and death, baptism, fasting, prayer, the Eucharist, hospitality, church order, and watchfulness for the coming of the Lord. The work offers a rare glimpse into the beliefs, worship, discipline, and moral teaching of the early Christian communities.

In an era of digital distractions and shifting cultural truths, it’s easy to feel spiritually isolated. Many voices compete for our attention, but God has not left His flock to wander alone. In None Walk Alone: The Power of Pastoral Presence, Gregory W. Church explores the profound, God-given gift of the pastor —an under-shepherd appointed to guide, protect, and nurture believers.

In Canceled, historian Steve Weidenkopf (The Real Story of Catholic History) digs into some of the most controversial Catholics ever to capture the popular imagination. He looks at notorious figures like Christopher Columbus and Marie Antoinette, so associated with their presumed evils that the modern world has completely written them off—canceled them from any favorable mention or memory. And worse, the world now uses them as brushes to tar the whole Church.

Lead with Purpose. Lead Empowered. Impact the World. Leadership is one of the greatest challenges and opportunities of our generation. Across every sphere of society—business, government, education, and the church—the call is the same: We need leaders who can be trusted.

Pastors are very busy people. They visit people in hospitals; they counsel those who are troubled; they have staff meetings with other church leaders; they answer many emails and text messages; they attend seminars, classes, and conventions; they read books; they review financial reports; they officiate weddings, funerals, and baby dedications. Pastors do many different things every day, every week, every month, and every year.
