6 reviews
Leighton Ford

InterVarsity Press, 1993

Excellent Biblically-Based Leadership Book!
Leighton Ford has written an excellent book for the Christian leader. Among the principles Ford covers include: 1. Treat others as people created by God, not things to be used. 2. A leader has a transcendant purpose and is not distracted from it. 3. The servant leader depends on God's timing and seeks to glorify God. 4. True leadership is marked by servanthood, not lordship over others. 5. ...

How to Give Away Your Faith

Paul E. Little

IVP Books, 2008

Best practical evangelism book
The book had many positive and negative aspects. In one example Little says that a Christian may allow a roommate to leave pornographic magazines around the shared area but he or she should put his or her "foot down" when the roommate invites someone of the opposite sex to sleep over (82); however both circumstances should not be tolerated. A few pages prior, Little mentions, "Do not condemn ...

Ruth Haley Barton

IVP Books, 2008

Refreshment for the Leader's Soul
"Strengthening the soul of our leadership is an invitation that begins, continues and ends with seeking God in the crucible of ministry." These words from the final chapter summarize the central theme of the book. The chapters leading up to it paint a compelling picture of the fruitfulness and joy of leading from a healthy soul that is focused on God, and the risks of soul-less leadership in ...

The Power of Story: Rediscovering the Oldest, Most Natural Way to Reach People for Christ

2 reviews
Leighton Ford, James Denney

Navpress Publishing Group, 1994

Opening your eyes to the unchurched
The book uses story well to communicate how THE Story of Jesus can relate to today's unchurched. I found the sections on the Fatherhood of God, the grace of the Son and the Fellowship of the Holy Spirit the most helpful as Dr. Ford uses each of these attributes of God to show how our friends need these characteristics of God in their lives and how this is how God will meet them where they are at. ...

Hearts Aflame - Living the Passion for Evangelism
Lon Allison, Peter Chao, ...

Armour Publishing Pte Ltd, 2008

The late Bishop Lesslie Newbigin in his book Mission in Christ's Way said that the Apostle Paul never needed to urge Christians in the First Century to evangelize. For them, mission was "the overflow of a great gift, not the carrying of a great burden. It is the fulfillment of a promise: 'You shall be my witness, when the Holy Spirit comes upon you.'" Indeed, the Apostle himself knew that he could not keep silent about the Gospel as he ...

Leighton Ford

IVP Books, 2008

Excellent!
This book is for the spiritual seeker. I didn't want the book to end...I read it outside, to be "closer" to God...I actually got my copy from the library but will purchase it because I want it in MY library, to be read again and again...Your spirit will draw closer to God and be more in tune with (attentive to) the present moment and God's presence.

The Power Of Mentoring: Shaping People Who Will Shape The World

Martin Sanders

Christian Publications, 2005

The Best Book on Mentoring Right Now
This is by far the best book on Mentoring out right now. Since this book came out in early 2005, it address the modern needs of mentoring right now. What sets this book apart from other mentoring books is that Sanders takes time to focus on the character of the individual. The #1 thing our society today wants is character out of its leaders. Character matters a lot today and Sanders does a ...

SANDY: A HEART FOR GOD

1 review
LEIGHTON FORD

Guideposts, 1985

The epilogue alone, containing Leighton's meditation of the death of his son, is worth the price of the book
Sandy, the eldest son of evangelist Leighton Ford, seemed to be on his way to a promising life of usefulness and service for the Lord. But in God's wisdom He chose to take this young man home following heart surgery. This is the story of Sandy's short life as told through a father's words. That being the case, one is somewhat surprised at the frankness of the account. Ford does not paint his son ...

Secrets of the Spiritual Life
Richard M. Stevenson

Baker Books, 2003

Christians often feel they lack something in their walk with Christ, but they don't know what is missing. Scripture contains several passages that can help them discover the secrets of the spiritual life. Secrets of the Spiritual Life is an intriguing book that brings to light the eight "one thing" passages found in Scripture. Two of David's psalms, the simple testimony of a healed blind man, gentle admonitions from Jesus to Martha and the ...
