Insights from Effective Churches on New Member Classes and Assimilation Findings from a national study to improve membership classes and to motivate current members into active ministry How do churches move members—both old and new— into ministry? Many church staff and lay leaders know they need to start new member classes as a point of entry into their churches but don’t know how. This book is based on a national study of effective churches and shows how growing churches implement new member classes and motivate their members into ministry. Membership Matters is designed to be a guide for church leaders wanting to start or improve a membership class. It includes models for classes and examples of resources such as church covenants, class schedules, and lesson outlines. It also gives direction on motivating uninvolved members to participate in ministry. One chapter chronicles an ongoing discussion among pastors of growing churches that are effectively motivating members to do ministry.

Chuck Lawless loves the local church. He also loves the Great Commission. And one of his passions is to see every member of the body of Christ become a Great Commission member. The concept of Nobodies for Jesus is simple but profound: take 14 days and develop a Great Commission lifestyle. The book weaves through numerous New Testament narratives to show how “regular” people, “nobodies,” became somebody for the sake of the gospel. This book, if taken seriously, has the ability to transform individuals, groups, and even entire churches. The 14-day study guide is excellent for use in multiple settings.

Kregel Ministry

Although spiritual warfare is a recurring theme in Scripture, it is difficult to find balanced, evangelical treatments of this topic. Drawing on their extensive expertise on this subject, as presented in their previous B&H volume Spiritual Warfare in the Storyline of Scripture, Cook and Lawless aim to equip everyday Christians to understand what Scripture teaches about spiritual warfare and how believers can practically apply these scriptural principles. By doing so, readers can experience victory over the world, the flesh, and the devil.

Putting on the Armor is an excellent 7-session study for new and growing believers seeking practical application of personal spiritual disciplines in order to defeat the enemy in times of temptation. This study does not offer “cures” for any temptation, but does lay out the path to victory for every believer. Author Chuck Lawless believes that Ephesians 6:10-20 gives us clear direction on how to fight the enemy and how to develop and demonstrate effective Christian living.
Dr. Lawless co-wrote the popular LifeWay resource Spiritual Warfare: Biblical Truth for Victory. Lawless describes Putting on the Armor as an enhanced version of chapter 6 of the original book and the next step for those who have completed that study. While this second study stands alone, both are needed for the practical insights that will benefit not only the individual but also the family and church.

Mentor: How Along-the-Way Discipleship Will Change Your Life - Member Book by Chuck Lawless explores mentoring as a God-given relationship where one growing believer encourages and equips another to reach his or her potential as a disciple. Drawing from biblical examples like Jesus and His disciples and Paul and Timothy, Lawless examines the life-transforming process of a mentoring relationship.
This study is both a practical and spiritual guide to biblical mentoring, providing easy-to-model life application for how to have and be a mentor. Lawless combines personal examples from his life with in-depth Bible study and practical how-to’s (and how-not-to’s) you can apply right away. Mentoring is a vital aspect of true discipleship, and it all begins with a desire to grow. (6 Sessions)
Everyone desires deep, meaningful connection with others. Everyone. But to mentor or be mentored in the Christian context can change the course of your life. Something powerful happens when you do life with someone in a position to spiritually lead and influence you — or when you do the same for others.
