In The Church Leader's MBA: What Business School Instructors Wish Church Leaders Knew about Management Dr. Mark Smith, Ed D and Dr. David W. Wright, Ph D teach you how to take proven management principles from the business world and apply them in your local church. Unfortunately, most ministerial preparation programs do little to provide business and organizational tools to aspiring ministers. This book is written by ministers and organizational managers for church leaders. The Church Leader's MBA focuses on four areas of professional management skills that we believe ministers must develop: - The ability to develop an organization - The ability to lead people effectively - The ability to manage the operational elements of the organization - The ability to manage one's own ongoing professional development. The church is both a human organization and a spiritual community. Our point in this book is that successful ministerial leaders understand both elements of this identity and master a set of tools related to the leadership of both of these elements

Since the 1970s, the awareness ribbon has been used as an identifying symbol for things we care about. No matter what color the ribbon, it is a common marker for awareness, action and hope. Ribbons of Faith is the story of one woman's reliance upon the Lord after a diagnosis of breast cancer. Using excerpts from her journal and emails, you will read about her fears and hopes as she seeks God's perspective. It's honest, sometimes funny, and encouraging for anyone going through a difficult time in their life.

HEALING IS BOTH IMMEDIATE AND PROGRESSIVE; IN ANY CASE, GOD IS BOTH THE INITIATOR AND FINISHER OF HEALING. The problem that many people struggle with is the "Interim Factor," that is, the time between the asking God to heal them and the actual healing. The age-old questions as to God's willingness to heal, what are the qualifications to receive a healing and why aren't some people healed, are debatable from many points of view. I am convinced that God is a healer and is willing to heal His creation when they get sick. I was diagnosed with Burkett's Lymphoma, a cancer strain that is known to attack the brain. Along with many other Christians, I prayed for God to heal me immediately. Instead the cancer on the left side of my jaw continued to get worse. I asked God three questions, "What are you saying? What lessons are to be learned? How can I help You?" My journey to a complete healing lasted over a period of six months. I have had the privilege of sharing hope to several people who have been diagnosed with some form of cancer. Also, I had the honor of sharing Christ with many in the medical arena. After several pet scans, my oncologist cannot find anymore cancer in my body. I hope that you find encouragement through my Journey to a complete Healing.

Jerry Pattengale (PhD, Miami, OH) likes to golf, but isn't very good. He enjoys fishing, but no longer owns a pole. He loves music but is likely tone deaf. He enjoys sports but has asthma. And, he loves dogs but is allergic to them. Fortunately, he's not allergic to his keyboard and has tickled the ears of his readers for a couple decades, that is, when he's not engaged with more scholarly work. He was the founding director of The Green Scholars Initiative, associated with the new Museum of the Bible (DC), where in 2014 he became its first Executive Director of Education. In 2014, Indiana Wesleyan University named him its first University Professor. He also has distinguished appointments at Baylor University, Tyndale House-Cambridge; Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and The Sagamore Institute. He is the Exec. Dir. of National Conversations, Associate Publisher, Christian Scholar's Review and a board member for Religion News Service and Yale University's Jonathan Edwards Center. In addition to his many books, Jerry has contributed to various national venues, e.g., Books &amp; Culture, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, Christian Post, Christianity Today, Patheos, Inside Higher Ed and Wall Street Journal. He also speaks internationally on educational and ancient research topics, and has appeared in various televised, radio and printed interviews. His mantra is the fulcrum of his work presented in his McGraw-Hill books, "The dream needs to be stronger than the struggle." "To many Hoosiers, Jerry Pattengale has become the Garrison Keillor of their beloved state. Take, read, smile, laugh and, when done, leave Jerry's work on the doorstep of a hardened enemy (if needed, I fear I can loan you one or two). You'll soon make a friend and experience a good measure of the Christmas joy reflected in these pages." --Todd C. Ream teaches at Taylor University and, perhaps more importantly, has now called the Hoosier state home for over a decade.

The golf course: it's that rare place where one minute four guys are concentrating on their target, taking aim, and swinging for glory, but minutes later they're in the fetal position, rolling on the tee station laughing. Grown men become silly. Young men and women witness transformations of fathers into man-boys. This little book captures a hilarious glimpse into the human condition. It contains true stories culled from the author's Buck Creek newsprint series-the first of which recently earned the top sports writing award by the Hoosier State Press Association. Those who have read the author's newsprint series for the past twenty years have come to expect such fun reads. Pick up your copy of Telling the Truth with a Smile and laugh along with Jerry on the back nine!
