From time to time I get asked to promote a number of quality resources which would benefit pastors and Christian leaders. I never have any problem doing this because I enjoy shining the spotlight on others but I also enjoy making you better.
Recently, I have had enough requests that I felt it was best just to put them into a single post for you to review. Check these out. They will make you a better leader.
Books
- Finding Joy In The Midst Of Sorrow – This is a brand new book written by Fellowship Bible Church’s associate pastor Mike McCrum. If you know anyone who is dealing with disappointment and tragedy, there is no resource I could recommend more. With his tender heart, Mike will provide you tremendous amounts of comfort as you find peace in the faithfulness of God.
- Preaching Sticky Sermons: A Practical Guide to Preparing, Writing, and Delivering Memorable Sermons – Co-written by Brandon Kelley and Joe Hoaglund, preaching remains relevant even as America becomes less Christian. Preaching Sticky Sermons is a practical and accessible book for pastors young and old. Kelley and Hoagland reveal how to make your sermons stick. They focus on four main areas of creating a sermon: Preparation, writing, delivery, and evaluation. This book will help you write sermons that stick not only on Sunday but also throughout the week.
- Chasing The Light: 90 Devotions And Photos To Grow Your Faith – Let me say this, Dave Adamson has helped me get all my 2017 Christmas shopping done. I am giving a copy to each member of my family. In addition to being named my The #1 Person You Should Follow On Instagram And Why, Dave has written a masterpiece. The book’s photography is magnificent. The devotions are inspiring. Every Christian should have a copy. And I’m not just saying that. This book is that good.
