Resources for Pastors "All Things Written"

Resources for Pastors "All Things Written"

Atlanta Pastor Darrel Johns says, "You are never any better than your resources." I've put much value on resources. Good resources make preparation to preach, teach, counsel, lead and disciple easier. 

I have a passion for helping God's leaders be more effective. It shows in my writing and online work.

The Science of Shepherding - Pastoral Leadership for the 21st Century  

Our Bible is full of insight into the behavior of someone who is a pastor. The Hebrew and Greek words translated pastor are translated shepherd in other settings. A pastor is a shepherd.

In the field of animal husbandry, a shepherd can learn to be more effective at caring for a flock. As a pastor, I can also continue to learn and improve. Young pastors who have read much of my material often say, "Of your books, the one on shepherding is my favorite."

The Details Matter - Principle and Practice of Church Administration

I'm not a natural administrator. I dislike details and repetitive activity. My lacking makes me the perfect person to have written Details Matter. I'm able to inform you that the strongest leader has to slow enough to handle details or must have someone trustworthy to manage them. 

Our God is structured. The sun is not random in its arrival. The seasons consistently flow from one to another. Effective churches are going to be led by someone who recognizes the value of the details and develops an approach to make sure the details are handled. 

(This book was written as required reading for ordination in the United Pentecostal Church, International)

Masterful Preaching - Restoring the Place of Good-news Preaching

My life in ministry has been a journey of discovery. My church culture equipped me to preach good sermons to saints. It did not equip me to effectively preach to the lost. 

It took becoming a pastor, in a mission setting with little money for an evangelist for me to develop the ability to preach to sinners. It became my mantra, "Sunday is for sinners." I've learned to preach to those who do not yet know Jesus. 

In Masterful Preaching, you track my journey, learn the rationale for preaching to the lost, and discover how many minutes you should be preaching. Several evangelistic sermons and sermon ideas are included. Masterful Preaching is in its fourth printing. Pastor Terry Pugh said, "Every young preacher needs to read Masterful Preaching."

Teaching and Preaching Resources

If Everybody Here Were Just Like Me (What Kind of Church Would this Church Be)?

The material in this book, which is often read for Christian General Interest, started as a teaching series titled, "The Measure of a Great Church." The series evolved into something that needed to be taught, written, and read. I've taught this material at several camp-meetings and to local churches. The chapters in this book make the foundation for developing your own series to teach your congregation.
