Leadership Strategies
(Leading Where We've Never Been Before)
by F. Joe Ellis, Canton, Ohio

When you see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God… move out from your positions and follow it. Then you will know which way to go, since you have never been this way before. (Josh 3:3-4 NIV)

It has been said by many notable authors in recent years that everything in life rises and falls on leadership. This is true in families, business, sports teams, corporations, governments, and yes even the church. Their ultimate success or failure is usually determined by those who lead them.

Resist The Devil And He Will Flee
By Pastor Jeff Arnold, Gainesville, FL

It is always a grand thing when we are invited someplace, asked to be a part of some good event or even just to be asked to be a participant. We all enjoy the thing called INCLUDED: it makes us feel a little special. One of the best things to be INCLUDED in has to be the KINGDOM OF GOD. When Jesus came to this planet, He came with A MISSION, A MESSAGE AND A METHOD to accomplish HIS PURPOSES. I am so glad that through HIS CALL upon my life that I have been asked to BE A PART AND ALSO TO CONTRIBUTE to the fulfillment of HIS GRAND PLAN.

The Nautical Hour - by Tony Bailey  $10.00
Before the days of satellite guiding systems, navigation on the open sea took a great deal of skill and understanding. In order to point the ship in the desired heading the Navigator had to know more than where he desired to go, he had to know the ship's present location. Since no landmarks are visible on the open sea, stable points of reference had to be discovered before the Navigator could accurately triangulate the ship's position.  Order online here!

Striking A Balance (Communicating the message of separation)
by Larry Schoonover - $7.95
 Many people have taught their children separation from the world with statements like, "We don't do that!" or something like, "Our church does not believe in that." never really taking time to teach the principle of a matter to guide their life and decisions later in life when a parent is not there.  Like a newly licensed driver there tendency is to over correct.  Whether the method of instruction was improper or the perception of the student was tainted, there is a great need to Strike a Balance.

"Power Encounters" Two Kingdoms In Conflict
  by Jeff Arnold  $10.00 
 Weakness versus Power.
 Two kingdoms are vying for our souls. One kingdom seeks to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. God’s Kingdom offers grace, mercy, and life.

Condemnation versus Conviction. 
 Satan’s kingdom confronts us continuously with temptations, and traps, and snares. God does not force His Kingdom upon anyone.

Error versus Truth.
 …and the devil saith unto Him, “All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.” 
Then saith Jesus unto him, “Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.” Matthew 4:9 KJV

The choice is ours to make.
 In this book, Rev. Jeff Arnold explores the Power Encounters that can change our lives and bring us out of darkness. The struggle for our souls is intense.

When Men Pray - by Larry Schoonover  $10.00
 From time to time as a Christian, I would sit in services or attend conferences where a dear elder would preach to us concerning the sin of prayerlessness. Each time I would resolve in myself that this was the answer. There were no magical methods or new fangled tools for evangelism that the church needed, and none that I personally lacked to lead my family as the head of our home. It became obvious to me that there were no shortcuts to a truly consecrated life and walk with God. There was no getting around it; I would have to learn to pray... Order online here!
