Lessons on Leadership from the life of Moses: A much recommended book for Children’s Ministry folk, written by an Australian.
Recommended by Phil Day.
Normal RRP $19.95

Henri Nouwen believes ministers are called to identify the suffering in their own hearts and make that recognition the starting point of their service. It is from the pain of their own wounds that a minister heals others most effectively.
As expected of Nouwen, a perceptive, challenging and heart-opening book.

Here at last, the ORANGE resources children and family ministry folk have been waiting for. ‘Imagine the impact when church and family collide’. This book guides you through the fusing and integration of two highly significant influences in a child’s life.

Real stories and biblical patterns to inspire leaders and those taking on the role of small group leader. The top tips series are BIG on practical ideas and advice but concise and pithy enough to be of use in a very short time. Also easy to share with others.

Family is beautiful metaphor for the Church, and yet the Church does not experience it. This book addresses the mantra of ‘hyper-individualism’ that corrupts and destroys community, family and even faith. Excellently resourced, easy to read and filled with insightful application.
