What does effective church leadership look like? In this conversational book, Pastor Jeremy Rin provides an accessible "job description" for the role of elders, grounded in biblical teachings on church leadership. The book offers practical guidance for new elders, while also helping church members understand and support their spiritual leaders. This concise volume encourages leaders to embrace their calling with grace, wisdom, and a clear vision.

Why should you join a church? Becoming a church member is an important—yet often neglected—part of the Christian life. Yet, the prevailing trend today is to avoid organized religion, with many showing an aversion to, or even a fear of, making commitments—especially to institutions.

Jonathan Leeman addresses these issues by providing a straightforward explanation of what church membership is and why it matters. He restores the proper significance of the local church and builds a compelling case for committing oneself to one.

Toni Collier, founder of the organization "Broken Crayons Still Color," knows all too well what it feels like to be broken—and the shame that often accompanies it. After enduring abuse, spiritual manipulation, and toxic relationships, she feared that her pain would define her forever. She eventually discovered that God’s love was not some distant, unattainable dream, but a powerful force capable of transforming her life.

In her book *Courage in the Brokenness*, Toni shares practical steps and biblical wisdom to help us identify our brokenness and embrace it in light of God’s compassion. She encourages each of us to:

Recognize the lasting impact of trauma and toxic relationships.

Surrender to a God who never intended for us to carry our pain alone.

Move past feelings of shame and regret—without numbing ourselves or remaining trapped in the past.

Understand how our own journey toward healing can contribute to the healing of others.

*Courage in the Brokenness* is an invitation to reclaim the hope and wholeness that await you within the fullness of what God desires for your life. Exchange your weakness for God’s strength, your brokenness for His healing, and your weariness for the abundant life—discovering the courage it takes to keep going, even in the midst of brokenness.

“Believers worship God in church every week, yet many do not fully grasp what worship actually is or why they engage in it. Some view worship merely as a ‘preparation’ for the sermon, while others see it as a private, solitary moment ‘between themselves and the Lord Jesus.’ So, what is the biblically informed way to understand corporate worship?

In this book, Matt Merker explains that corporate worship is the gathering of God’s people—by His grace, for His glory, and for their own benefit—in the presence of a watching world. Merker offers biblical insights and practical suggestions to help make worship what it is truly meant to be: a foretaste of God’s people worshipping together for eternity in the new creation.”

Evangelism is more than just a program. Every few years, churches often try to adopt the latest techniques for evangelism—leaders launch a new initiative, and members head out on outreach campaigns. But imagine a church where evangelism is simply part of the culture: leaders share their faith consistently and openly, and members follow their example, encouraging one another to make evangelism an ongoing way of life. This is the approach to evangelism presented in this concise and engaging book. There are no programs here; instead, it may offer your church a new way to live out the Gospel and share it together.

"How does the church portray the beauty of Christ? The gospel is a theological message, yet it also gives rise to a human beauty and wonderful relationships within our churches, making the glory of Christ visibly manifest in the world today. In this timely book, Pastor Ray Ortlund demonstrates that gospel doctrine creates a gospel culture. Many of our churches may lack the beauty of a gospel culture, but when a church allows the gospel to exert its full power, it shines with the glory of Christ."

"الصَّلاةُ ضروريَّةٌ للمُؤمنِ مثلما أنَّ التنفُّسَ لازمٌ لجسمِ الإنسان، لكنَّها لا تحدثُ بطريقةٍ

طبيعيَّة. في الواقع، غالبًا ما تتَّجه الصَّلاةُ في الكنيسة بشدَّةٍ نحو الممارَسات العمليَّة التي

تُقدِّم وعودًا بنتائجَ ملموسة.

يركِّز هذا الكتابُ على ضرورةِ الصَّلاة المنتظمة بوصفها ممارسةً مركزيَّةً مهمَّةً في الكنيسة

المحلِّيَّة، كما يُنبِّهنا إلى حاجتنا إلى الصَّلاة الجماعيَّة، ويكشف عن البركة التي تقدِّمها

الصَّلاةُ إلى الكنيسة. ويتناوَل الكتابُ بدقَّةٍ تعاليم الرَّبِّ يسوع عن الصَّلاة، وكيف تعامَلَ

معها المؤمنون الأوائل، وكيف يجب على جماعة المؤمنين إعطائها الأولويَّة."

How can deacons activate ministry within the church?

Deacons are essential to a healthy church; yet, there is often confusion regarding the specifics of their ecclesiastical role. What function has God assigned to them within the local congregation, and how do they relate to the broader mission of the church?

In this concise book, Matt Smethurst explains that deacons are exemplary servants—called to address tangible needs, organize and mobilize acts of service, preserve the unity of the congregation, and support the ministry of the elders. Smethurst clears up common misconceptions and offers practical guidance for appointing deacons and helping churches flourish.

"If I could go back in time and choose one book to help our church navigate the ministry challenges we faced this year, this would be it."
