  POOR IN SPIRIT. BROKEN. HUMBLE. HUNGRY. SYMPATHETIC. PURE. RECONCILING. ENDURING.  These are not the words that describe the typical picture of the modern-day successful American pastor, but these are the words Jesus said should characterize the lives of his twelve disciples. In many circles, the image of what a pastor is or does looks nothing like the picture Jesus paints for his disciples of the character that marks citizens of his kingdom. Shepherding like Jesus is a call to rebel against much of what our culture understands pastoral leadership to be and return to being the shepherd God has called pastors to be. It’s an invitation to recover the most essential element of pastoral ministry: the character of Christ.

  Exploring 6 Characteristics of Waiting to Prompt Wisdom from God and Gain Invaluable Peace
  Throughout our lives, we experience countless periods of waiting. Some moments are mere nuisances—others are daunting seasons filled with intense worry and doubt. We grow impatient by immovable traffic or crave an impending answer to a medical condition. Whatever our current circumstances, our innate response is to take action rather than stay still.
  In Waiting Isn't a Waste, author Mark Vroegop calls believers to resist the human urge for control and lean on Christ for comfort while we wait for the uncertainties of life to unfold. Vroegop explores what it means to wait on God through 6 important characteristics—waiting is hard, common, biblical, slow, commanded, and relational. This book not only teaches readers how to wait on God but inspires them to embrace waiting—for it prompts wisdom from God and brings invaluable peace to the present.

  *** 
   
  We all want to live a life that matters--a life of meaning and significance. The problem is, when we think of a life that makes a difference, we think way too small. Our lives can and should make an impact today--and we should also be working toward building a legacy that lasts for generations to come. 
   
  Rejecting the current work-hard-then-retire mindset, David Green, founder and CEO of Hobby Lobby, and Bill High call us to a biblical view of ourselves and our families--a generational mindset. With a paradigm-changing perspective, this book helps you  
   
  · develop a legacy perspective on your life and family 
  · articulate and live out your mission and values 
  · recover from failures and celebrate successes 
  · tell your stories from generation to generation 
   
  It may feel strange at first, but when you shift your mindset to understand your life in generational terms, you'll discover that while you are not the story, you are part of a story that matters for eternity.

  "'Legacy isn't what we leave behind, but what we set in motion.' In a me-centered culture, where faith and family take a back seat to financial success and notoriety, this provocative idea changes everything. If you're interested in passing down more than money, not just for your kids but for generations to come, this is the book for you."--Jim Daly, president, Focus on the Family  
   
  "In a world focused on short-term success, my friends David Green and Bill High call us to point our lives heavenward to set in motion a legacy of eternal significance. Like the ripples that emanate from a rock thrown into a pond, our influence for Christ can keep going on and on through our testimony, commitment, and passion for the gospel."--Dr. Robert Jeffress, pastor, First Baptist Dallas; Bible teacher, Pathway to Victory 
   
  "Legacy is far more than money; legacy is a mindset that multiplies. Wherever life finds you, this heartwarming story of the power of belief and family will inspire you."--Lisa Bevere, New York Times bestselling author; cofounder, Messenger International 
   
  "I believe that every human being wants to live a life that matters, but our world offers temporary solutions to silence our God-given ache. I used to try to quiet that cry I felt inside, but now I embrace it as sacred space, a place and a calling that only God can fill. You too can live a legacy life. You were made for more."--Sheila Walsh, author and TV host 
   
  "With deep biblical wisdom and practical guidance, this book challenges us to steward our time, talents, and treasures for God's glory and the good of those who come after us. If you're looking to build a life that truly matters, this book is a must-read."--Jordan Raynor, bestselling author, The Sacredness of Secular Work and Redeeming Your Time

Or it just feels daunting and unattainable—you know it’s important, but you’re just not good at it.Writer, mother, and lover of Scripture Glenna Marshall shows us that to love God with our hearts, we must first love him with our minds.

Scripture memory bolsters our daily faith, grows us in discernment, and gives us courage to walk through trials. It arms us with what we need to share the gospel, to fight sin, and to encourage our brothers and sisters in Christ!But how and where do we begin? Glenna gives us practical tools! Even long passages or books of the Bible can be hidden in our hearts with small, doable, daily bites. You’ll look at how to memorize Scripture in Bible study groups or local church settings as well as with children and friends.Scripture memorization is the path we travel to obey God’s command to meditate on His Word. You will be transformed as the Bible takes root in your heart. The more we know His Word, the more we will—with the help of the Holy Spirit—be shaped like Jesus. You can do this! Memorizing Scripture shows you how!

  George Muller stared at the beggar girl. She was no older than five and was piggybacking her little brother. Her mother had died in the cholera epidemic sweeping England. Her father had never returned from the mines. Standing in the muddy street, this little girl gave a face to Bristol's countless orphans. With scarcely enough food or money for his own family, George Muller opened his heart and home. Sustained by God's provision, the Muller house "Breakfast Club" of thirty orphans grew to five large houses that ultimately over ten thousand children would call home. George Muller trusted God with a depth rarely seen. His faith and generosity set a standard for Christians of all generations.
