Books I have read: The Search to Belong

Posted in Books, Children's and Youth Work, Church on December 10, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

I’ve been to countless seminars and read probably dozens of books on small group ministry.  For the past couple of decades, we have consistently heard that the right small group programs will grow our church, create fully-devoted Christ-followers, ease the burden on pastors, return us to New Testament Christianity, etc., and I’ve said those things [...]

Developing Your Prophetic Gifting by Graham Cooke is the best, most balanced guide to prophecy and the development of the gift in individuals and the local church I have read to date.  It’s hard to single out any one aspect but I especially appreciated discussions around the prophet working with the pastor and teacher, the evangelist and [...]
