If we desire to honor God in all we do, we need to be in his Book every day. Through the Bible, God offers us so much more wisdom for living and leading-and for every domain of life—than anything this world can ever give us. That's why Hobby Lobby founder and CEO David Green wrote The Leader's Devotional. By sharing the biblical principles that are the foundation of his life and leadership, he challenges and encourages each of us to seek God's guidance for our lives, for our families, and for our organizations.

Our responsibility is the "ask or think," and God takes care of the "far more abundantly." God has called you to be a small-town pastor and grow your church right in your own backyard-but your vision is obscure and your resources are scarce. Take heart, because if God can prosper one church, He can prosper all.

In this bold and thought provoking work, explore the satirical world of a church that chooses complacency over conviction. Through biting commentary and wry humor, the author invites listeners to consider the true call of faith in a world that is increasingly indifferent.

Millennials. It seems the very mention of the word draws equally passionate—and polarized—responses from society members of all ages. With labels such as "The Unreachable Generation," "The Me Me Me Generation," and "The Worst Generation," it is no wonder that our young people are the most notorious this world has ever seen. But beneath the surface, crises linger which drive an individual to wonder what is really going on within the minds of our youth.

God called. He wants his church back. Many Christians have begun to recognize that God desires his church to function as an organism rather than an organization.

If the individual followers of today's modern Church would emulate their radical faith, hope, love, and peace our world would truly be fragrant with the "aroma of Christ".

Repentance is one of the core tenets of the gospel, but what does it truly mean? Understanding the principle of repentance at a deeper level is often overshadowed by the simplistic reciting of the five-step process of repentance: (1) recognition, (2) remorse, (3) confession, (4) restitution, and (5) forgiveness. But repenting is so much more than a checklist step in the process to get on the righteous path.

The Externally Focused Quest: Becoming the Best Church for the Community is designed for church leaders who want to transform their churches to become less internally focused and more oriented to the world around them. The book includes clear guidelines on the changes congregations must adopt to become truly outwardly focused. This book is not about getting all churches to have an annual day of community service as a tactic, but changing the core of who they are and how they see themselves as a part of their community.
