Book: Gasping for Breath

 Gasping for Breath: Inviting God's Spirit Into Your Overwhelmed Life

If you're a mom or a dad trying to juggle work with childcare and homeschooling, a business or ministry leader adjusting on the fly to a rapidly changing and unprecedented landscape, or a young man or woman grappling with relationships, technology, schooling, and jobs in a virtual world, you’ll find yourself gasping for breath at some point. We all do.

If you’re wondering what it takes to endure when you’ve personally hit the wall, to stay in something and work through the challenges that try to hold you back when you can no longer breathe, this book may be for you.

Gasping for Breath is an invitation to learn how to breathe in the life-giving breath of God’s Spirit and become fully alive. God is breathing His life into men and women, renewing and restoring and recreating. Right here. Right now. He can do it for you. Take a deep breath, and let’s get started!

Resource: Fan God's gifts into flame (Pastor Personal Growth)

Fan God’s Gifts into Flame assists pastors in thinking through some of the “whys” and “hows” of planning for growth in all their God-given callings (pastor, husband, father, colleague in ministry, etc.). Since each pastor is a uniquely gifted child of God, and since each place where God calls him to serve is a unique gathering of God’s people, it can be wise for a pastor to take time to consider how he can make the most of his unique God-given strengths in his unique God-given place of service. The goal is to help pastors make such planning an annual part of how they grow in all their callings.

The resource includes:

• An essay giving you the theological rationale and some practical directions for developing an annual spiritual and professional growth plan.
• A Workbook giving you tools to consider your strengths and the specific strengths that God has given to you as a unique individual.
• A Toolbox will giving  you some tools you can use as you pursue personal, spiritual, and professional growth.
