Guiding you on your journey to a balanced, fulfilling life is the writer of Ecclesiastes - a bottom-line man concerned with finding true meaning in life. With author Wayne Schmidt, you'll glean wisdom from the ancient writer's timeless reflection on questions such as: What does a man gain from his labor? Is everything meaningless? Am I expendable? Is there anything new under the sun? Seen through the lens of Ecclesiastes, some areas of your life probably just need a tune-up. Others may need a major overhaul. Soul Management gives you the courage and impetus to make the changes, big and little, that will put you on the pathway to meaning.

Accountability: Becoming People of Integrity

Wesley Press

Starting from the idea that "management can't be spiritualized and spiritual matters can't be managed," Wayne Schmidt looks to Joshua in the Old Testament for an example of the leadership needed in the church today. The book of Joshua, thought by many to be just a history of battles, is more of a journal of Joshua's experiences as he managed overwhelming change while responding to God's guidance. 
Each chapter of Leading When God Is Moving begins with a contrast between the commitments which help build momentum and those which hinder it. The issues that arise out of these contrasts, such as loss of identity, community changes and breaking through growth barriers, are then developed. The author concludes with questions that cause personal reflection and an inventory list for spiritual leaders that will help them identify how they need to manage the change that confronts their churches. 
Other topics dealt with include spiritual myths like "Leadership is easy in a church that's experiencing a movement of God"; having courage in the face of opposition; building a group of supporting leaders; and setting priorities.

There is a growing "gospel gap" across North America and around the world. More people than ever do not have the opportunity to make an informed decision about Jesus or even know personally a follower of Christ. While we're grateful for every spiritually interested seeker who begins their exploration by visiting a local church, much more often it is in the everyday places of life that they come into contact with those who winsomely and fully follow Christ.There has never been a significant movement of God without the significant engagement of lay people. When laypeople partner with pastors, the potential for Kingdom advancement intensifies. This leads to disciples making disciples (discipling disciples), people being empowered in faith, and equipped to grow so that God's Spirit fills every part of them and ripples out into the lives around them.The authors of Marketplace Multipliers believe the marketplace, where believers and those yet to believe cross paths every day, provides an intersection for a multiplication movement.Best-selling author Kay Kotan, Wayne Schmidt and Carrie Whitcher seek to be one example of "clergy and laity" partnering together in order to fulfill the Great Commission to "Go and make disciplesThis book is part of The Greatest Expedition series, aimed at providing assistant to congregations who want to do more than "stay in place," but to move out into the world.
