This is a book for pacesetters -- church leaders who desire to help
their churches break free of the things that turn them in on
themselves and keep them from being outward-looking and
outward-moving communities of Jesus Christ. The ingrown church is a
common phenomenon. It is the 'norm' for contemporary evangelical
and Protestant churches. But ingrownness is a pathology. It can
destroy the vital spiritual health of a church. It must, therefore,
be combated with the norms of Scripture. And that is why this book
was written. Outgrowing the Ingrown Church is a masterful mix of
biblical principle, objective analysis, and personal experience. It
traces the author's own growing awareness of the problem of
ingrownness in his calling as a pastor, seminary professor, and
evangelist/missionary. In his own discovery of the power and
presence of God he discovered the tendency of the church to live by
its own power and resources. This is a book written to help change
churches by changing the individuals who read it. It offers one an
unparalleled challenge to be evaluated, revitalized, and then used
by God for the work of ministry. Thus it is a book not merely for
pastors, but for the whole body of Christ. 'I have never been as
excited about any book concerning church growth as when I read this
book . . . . (His biblical) principles, if followed, transform
individual lives and then lead to a movement within a church to
change the whole congregation, ' writes John Guest in the foreword

General editor Lloyd J. Ogilvie brings together a team of
skilled and exceptional communicators to blend sound scholarship
with life-related illustrations.
The design for the Preacher's Commentary gives the reader an
overall outline of each book of the Bible. Following the
introduction, which reveals the author's approach and salient
background on the book, each chapter of the commentary provides the
Scripture to be exposited. The New King James Bible has been chosen
for the Preacher's Commentary because it combines with integrity
the beauty of language, underlying Hebrew and Greek textual basis,
and thought-flow of the 1611 King James Version, while replacing
obsolete verb forms and other archaisms with their everyday
contemporary counterparts for greater readability. Reverence for
God is preserved in the capitalization of all pronouns referring to
the Father, Son, or Holy Spirit. Readers who are more comfortable
with another translation can readily find the parallel passage by
means of the chapter and verse reference at the end of each passage
being exposited. The paragraphs of exposition combine fresh
insights to the Scripture, application, rich illustrative material,
and innovative ways of utilizing the vibrant truth for his or her
own life and for the challenge of communicating it with vigor and
vitality.

Collective worship provides an important opportunity at the
beginning of the school day to address the 'awe and wonder' part of
learning. With this in mind, this book offers tried and tested
primary assemblies with a Christian focus for Key Stages One and
Two. Each assembly is complete and ready to run, with memorable
stories, Bible links written in full, ideas for visual aids,
helpful hints, prayers, suggested songs and follow-up material. The
assemblies cover a host of themes, some topical, some on moral and
personal development, citizenship, or spiritual values, and some
linking in to seasons of the Christian year. Many of the stories
use a specific storytelling technique (such as telling a story from
an unusual angle, using a 'tag-line', repetition and audience
participation), making this a flexible and practical resource,
ideal for newly qualified teachers seeking to grasp the key
principles of collective worship as quickly and as effectively as
possible-but equally valuable for experienced teachers, RE
coordinators and those invited into schools to lead collective
worship.
