With the immediacy of Internet searches and the ease of handheld devices, the custom of memorizing Scripture may not seem necessary, but bestselling author Robert J. Morgan makes an airtight case for reviving this rewarding practice in 100 Bible Verses Everyone Should Know by Heart.

It changes the atmosphere of every family and alters the weather forecast of every day. In a series of brief opening chapters, Morgan prepares us for this new old way of thinking and then presents his list of 100 crucial verses, providing sidebar notes, quotes, and memorization tips for each.

In this practical guidebook, Tod Bolsinger relies on the metaphor of Lewis and Clark to reveal how you can lead your congregation through the new landscape we've found ourselves in. Like Lewis and Clark-who had to adapt once they found the Rocky Mountains instead of a waterway to the Pacific Ocean-you too may feel like you are leading in a cultural context that you were not expecting. You may even feel like your training holds you back more often than it carries you along. Drawing from his extensive experience as a pastor and a consultant, Bolsinger brings decades of expertise in guiding churches and organizations through uncharted territory. He offers a combination of illuminating insights and practical tools to reimagine what effective leadership looks like in our rapidly changing world. If you're going to scale the mountains of ministry, you'll need to leave behind the canoes and find new navigational tools. Reading this book will set you on the right course toward leading with conf idence and courage.

The average age an American woman has her first child is now younger than when she first marries. More children are growing up in fatherless homes.

Like a sailor on turbulent seas, they need a North Star to guide them: they need the skill set to know how to journey through life and how to select the right people to journey alongside them. Charting a course through the four key relational phases they'll face, this book provides that navigational guidance, examining what should be pursued in each relational stage and how.
