Sinossi

Christianity Today 2025 Book Award (Church/Pastoral Leadership) 
 
"A heartbreaking but necessary book."--Christianity Today 
 
Internationally recognized psychologist and trauma scholar Diane Langberg has come face to face with the crushing trauma of sexual abuse, trafficking, domestic abuse, and rape--and its cover-up. Tragically, she has encountered it all within Christian communities and the church. 
 
As a highly respected trauma scholar and psychologist working in the United States and around the world for more than 50 years, she envisions a better way. 
 
In When the Church Harms God's People, Langberg unveils what she has learned about how churches cause harm and why Christian communities often foster unhealthy leaders who end up hurting rather than protecting God's people. She also offers hope for the future, describing how churches can reflect Christ not just in what they teach but also in how they care for themselves and others. 
 
This book is an invaluable tool for leaders and laypeople alike who want to help the church resist abuses of power and become a safe place for survivors.

    What good is a church community if it lacks loving fellowship?  In Rules for Walking in Fellowship , John Owen supplies struggling congregations with biblical guidelines for making church life in the present a foretaste of heavenly fellowship to come. He discusses both the responsibilities congregations have toward pastors as well as the duties members have toward one another. Together, Owen presents twenty-four rules for fostering gospel fellowship, supporting them with numerous proof texts, brief explanations, and words of motivation to keep them. His simple approach makes this book ideal for personal or small group study. Here, then, is a collection of indispensable biblical rules that will challenge Christians in any given congregation, of whatever denomination--a little gem that is at the same time doctrinal, practical, and ecumenical.

    Pastoral ministry is hard. These days—with pandemics and cultural crises and distrust of the church higher than ever—it may be especially hard.   There is a reason an increasing number of pastors are depressed, burned out, leaving the ministry, or—worst of all—imploding their lives through moral failures.   Mike Minter planted a church in 1975, and after a long and faithful career in pastoral ministry, he is burdened to see so many struggling pastors. This book is born from both his experience and his concern. His heart is to help younger pastors make it through the ministry intact, and Stay the Course will do just that.

    Mama of ten Abbie Halberstadt helps women humbly and gracefully rise to the high calling of motherhood without settling for mediocrity or losing their minds in the process. 
     
     
     
    Motherhood is a challenge. Unfortunately, our worldly culture offers moms little in the way of real help. Mamas only connect to celebrate surviving another day and to share in their misery rather than rejoice in what God has done and to build each other up in hard times. There has a be a better way, a biblical way, for mamas to grow and thrive. 
     
                        
     
    As a daughter of Christ, you have been called to be more than an average mama. Attaining excellence doesn't have to be unsettling but it will take committed focus and a desire to parent well according to God's grace and for His glory. 
     
      
     
    M is for Mama offers advice, encouragement, and scripturally sound strategies seasoned with a little bit of humor to help you embrace the challenge of biblical motherhood and raise your children with love and wisdom. 
     
       
     
    Mama, you are worthy of the awesome responsibility God has given you. Now it's time to start believing you can live up to it.

    A showdown on Mount Carmel. A challenge of fire. And a group of hungry birds watching from above.Three scrappy buzzards circle the sky, their beady eyes locked onto the scene below. They’ve caught wind of something big—and to them, that means one thing: dinner is coming.Below, the greatest contest in history is about to unfold. The prophet Elijah stands boldly before the people, challenging the false prophets of Baal to a test. "The God who answers by fire—He is the true God!"Perched nearby, two ravens—Elijah’s loyal friends—watch with suspicion as the buzzards drop in. They know Queen Jezebel’s prophets are up to no good. But the buzzards? They aren’t interested in prophecies or truth. They have one motto:“You die, we dine. We clean up the world for dinner!”The false prophets go first, crying out to Baal, dancing, shouting, even cutting themselves—but nothing happens. No fi re. No answer.Then Elijah steps forward. And just to prove there’s no trickery, he orders water— not once, not twice, but three times— poured over the sacrifice until it’s soaked.Now, the moment of truth. Will the God of Israel answer? Will the fi re fall? Will the buzzards finally get their feast?
