The key to growth as a church, youth ministry, or a business is
getting first-time guests to come back. And as any good manager of
a hotel, a store, a restaurant, or an attraction knows, the key to
getting guests to come back is not actually the rooms or the
product or the food itself; it's how guests feel when they're
there. It's about hospitality. No matter how much effort and time
we spend on excellence--stirring worship time, inspiring sermons, a
good coffee blend in the foyer--what our guests really want when
they come to our churches is to feel welcome, comfortable, and
understood. Written by a church consultant and a hospitality
expert, The Come Back Effect shows church, ministry, and even
business leaders the secret to helping a first-time guest return
again and again. Through an engaging, story-driven approach, they
explain how service and hospitality are two different things, show
how Jesus practiced hospitality, and invite leaders to develop and
implement changes that lead to repeat visits and, eventually, to
sustained growth.
God is very clear about His purposes for you. If you want to live a
meaningful life, it must be aligned with His purposes. You have a
unique purpose to fulfill, a committed passion to embrace, a role
to perform, unique methodologies-a personal toolkit-to employ, and
an ultimate contribution to make. In Setting Your Course, author
Dr. Greg Bourgond seeks to help you set your course, find focus for
your life, engage in God's journey for you, and finish your journey
well. He employs a three-part process to influence you to live
all-out for Christ-the compass, map, and guide: The compass
explains the importance of orienting your life in accordance with
established biblical compass points. The map defines the trajectory
you are to follow based on how God has wired you. The guide
stresses the importance of being mentored and mentoring others.
Setting Your Course helps you formulate a deliberate strategy for
determining your purpose; assists you in aligning your life
according to God's plan; encourages you to become a proactive
partner in fulfilling God's purposes and redemptive activity; and
exhorts you to leave a worthwhile legacy in the lives of others.
Culture affects how we make disciples. We often unconsciously bring
our own cultural assumptions into ministry and mission, not
realizing that how we think and operate is not necessarily the best
or only way to do things. In today's global environment,
disciplemaking requires the cultural humility and flexibility to
adapt between different cultural approaches. Charles Davis, former
director of TEAM, provides a framework for missional disciplemaking
across diverse cultural contexts. He shows how we can recalibrate
our ministry efforts, like adjusting sound levels on a mixer board,
to accommodate different cultural assumptions. With on-the-ground
stories from a lifetime of mission experience, Davis navigates such
tensions as knowledge and behavior, individualism and collectivism,
and truth and works to help Christian workers minister more
effectively. Ministry teams, church planters, pastors and
missionaries working interculturally at home or overseas can be
part of God's movement of making disciples. Discover how the body
of Christ grows in the unity and diversity of the global church.

Phillips Brooks, author of the carol O Little Town of Bethlehem,
was the rector of the Trinity Episcopal Church in Boston for 22
years and the Bishop of Massachusetts for 15 months until his death
in 1893. This volume in the Great American Orators series focuses
on Brooks' oratorical style and the public's response to his
rhetoric. Chesebrough provides a biographical sketch of Brooks'
life emphasizing the development and use of his oratorical skills
and placing him within the secular and ecclesiastical contexts of
his times. Attention is given to Brooks' development as a public
speaker and to his manner of sermon preparation and delivery. Three
of Brooks' sermons are printed in their entirety: Abraham Lincoln,
The Cradle of the Lord, and Help from the Hills, preceded by
introductory remarks and a brief analysis of the sermon. This
examination of Brooks' rhetoric will appeal to scholars of rhetoric
and of American theology and American religious history, especially
Episcopal history.

"No other man in history was so mightily used of God in revival as
Asahel Nettleton. He labored amidst more revivals of religion than
Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield One can learn much about how
God moves in revival by studying Nettleton's life, therefore this
book will be a useful tool for any serious student of revival.
Secondly, the role that Nettleton played as a defender of the faith
against the 'New Measures' and the 'New Haven Theology' reveals how
theology in America shifted from its Puritan roots of Calvinism to
a more Federalized man-centered theology" (from Introduction by
author E.A. Johnston).
