leaders, and counsel on biblical strategies. This vital stewardship

it the people? The location? The service? In most cases, it is all

uphold the Lord's command to "honor one another above yourselves"
(Romans 12:10). It contains tips, tools, and the inspiration you

participate in. No matter how small your ministry or budget, God
can use your church effectively to make everyone there feel welcome
and cared for--the marks of a five-star church!

Leading a Sunday School class isn't easy. Sunday School teachers
stay up late on Saturday nights preparing lessons, show up early at
church every Sunday without fail, and often spend a large portion
of their lesson focusing children's attention or mediating adult
discussions. It's a commitment that requires dedication, sacrifice,
and patience, but they faithfully serve every week because they
know the eternal impact of their labors. Introducing a friend to
the love of Christ, helping teenagers improve their self-worth,
instilling biblical truth and God's love in the hearts and minds of
little children-this is why they serve. Devotions for Sunday School
Teachers 2 is a collection of short devotionals designed to
challenge, uplift, and inspire Sunday School teachers and
small-group leaders. Authors Stan Toler, John Baldwin, and David
Graves use their varied Sunday School experiences to share words of
comfort and offer guidance, insight, and even a little humor in
order to help teachers renew their commitment to serve and
rediscover the joys of teaching the children of God. Devotions for
Sunday School Teachers and Devotions for Sunday School Teachers 2
are perfect for gift-giving and offer teachers opportunities to
read, meditate, and pray for a short time on Sunday morning before
class starts or use the included Scriptures and stories to
supplement their own lessons.
Great leaders don't develop overnight. Becoming great requires the
guidance, support, and wisdom of others who model outstanding
leadership behavior. Christian leaders need individuals they can
respect and imitate which can be hard to find in a world where
being successful doesn't always mean commanding with character.
David, the great king of Israel and major writer of the Psalms, is
one of the greatest leaders in history. His writings offer us a
window into this heart-the heart of a shepherd, a king, and most of
all God's servant. In Maximum Integrity, Stan Toler and Jerry
Brecheisen look at several of the psalms especially suited for the
moods and needs of leaders and share insights born from the times
when, during their own life journeys, they paused and allowed
themselves to be changed by the words of King David. Using David's
life as a model--including his leadership techniques and personal
triumphs and failures--Toler and Brecheisen offer Christian
principles and strategies for leaders to meditate on and live by.
Maximum Integrity provides leaders with practical ways to apply the
teachings of the ancient psalms to their lives today and encourages
them to remember to trust God to help direct and care for them--no
matter what the situation may be.
Have you ever felt like you were the only one in the crowd who
didn't get the joke? The joke was told with great delivery...but
the punch line just flew over your head? The Christian life can be
a lot like that. We're told that God has a great sense of humor,
but sometimes His irony leaves us gasping instead of giggling. In
his new book, I Love God's Sense of Humor; I Just Wish He'd Let Me
in on the Joke, Stan Toler addresses the awkward moments of life
and the silence that fills the air after trouble or tragedy has
occurred. With humor and insight, Toler revisits the lives of
biblical heroes who struggled to find the humor in horrifying
situations yet found the courage and faith to overcome the
obstacles in their lives. He helps you learn to deal with some of
life's most pressing problems--while still managing to keep a smile
on your face. I Love God's Sense of Humor ...will remind you that
you don't necessarily need a great sense of humor to get God's
punch lines. You just need a great sense of faith--the ability to
see that God will get you to Jerusalem even if you have to go
through Cleveland to get there. In I Love God's Sense of Humor
...you'll learn to overcome: Obstacles Disappointment Temptation
Anger Fear Inadequacy Doubt Hopelessness Failure Loneliness
No Matter What Happens, Attitude Is a Choice As much as you try,

attitude affects your outlook on your day and those you influence

what, why, and how behind the transformation you desire. With this

principles with his own experiences, he breaks down the five social
areas of relationships--lifestyle, family, support, development,
online--and shows you how you can improve and find fulfillment in
your relationships with God, your family, your friends, and your
