Rising Above A Toxic Workplace
By Gary Chapman, Paul White & Harold Myra

Toxic organizations are rife with conflict, fear, and anger.  The environment causes people to have physiological responses as if they’re in a fight-or-flight situation. Healthy people become ill.  Colds, flu and stress-related illnesses such as heart attacks are more common.  By contrast, in resonant organizations, people take fewer sick days and turnover is low.  People smile, make jokes, talk openly and help one another.” – Annie McKee (author, consultant)  (more…)

The Invasive Kingdom
By Philip Lyn

The largest and fastest growing mission field in the world today is the marketplace.  It greets us every Monday.  Yet the Church has sleepwalked into the twenty-first century without equipping believers to engage and influence lives there!  This book will inspire us to see work as sacred, to bring God to work, to make the difference in our workplace and see miracles and transformation happen.  It calls for all of us to be empowered as workplace ministers as part of God’s invasive Kingdom and also for bi-vocational ministers to arise in the next generation of churches.

Faith In The Shadows
By Austin Fischer

“People don’t abandon faith because they have doubts.  People abandon faith because they think they’re not allowed to have doubts.”  Too often, our honest questions about faith are met with cold confidence and easy answers.  But false certitude doesn’t result in strong faith―it results in disillusionment, or worse, in a dogmatic, overweening faith unable to see itself or its object clearly.  Even as a pastor, Austin Fischer has experienced the shadows (more…)

The Language of God
By Francis S. Collins

An instant bestseller from Templeton Prize–winning author Francis S. Collins, The Language of God provides the best argument for the integration of faith and logic since C.S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity.

It has long been believed that science and faith cannot mingle.  Faith rejects the rational, while science restricts us to a life with no meaning beyond the physical.  It is an irreconcilable war between two polar-opposite ways of (more…)

God’s Economy
By Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove

While “health and wealth” proponents urge Christians to claim for themselves material blessings, others insist that God’s best gifts can’t be enjoyed until heaven.  The truth of God’s intentions, writes acclaimed author Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, is far greater than either perspective suggests.  Packed with inspiring stories, God’s Economy invites readers to step into the good life God intends his people to enjoy here and now—not a shrink-wrapped, plastic version of (more…)

Illegal Prayers
By Bob Sorge

No, this book is not about avoiding “illegal” prayers.  In fact, it is a very encouraging book to show you how to press deeper into prayer.

“It explores how Jesus taught us to pray when we need an answer from God right now.  There’s a bold way to pray that receives today what God was intending to do tomorrow.  All you need is a close friendship with God.  When you have relational equity with God, you can pray with such audacity (more…)
