Every generation has an uncanny tendency to view themselves as more enlightened than those that have gone before. The Church certainly has made mistakes all through history - and yet, no insights which we possess would be possible without the efforts, and even some of the mistakes, of our ancestors. The first volume of 2,000 Years of Christ's Power covers the period from the 1st Century AD to the start of the Middle Ages.

Explorers Lewis and Clark had to adapt. While they had prepared to find a waterway to the Pacific Ocean, instead they found themselves in the Rocky Mountains. You too may feel that you are leading in a cultural context you were not expecting. You may even feel that your training holds you back more often than it carries you along. Drawing from his extensive experience as a pastor and consultant, Tod Bolsinger brings decades of expertise in guiding churches and organizations through uncharted territory.

Woke and Secularist
Reviewed: 10-03-22
When I was looking for a book that would help in Christian leadership, I assumed a book written by a former pastor would be Christian. However this book quotes secular leadership gurus multiple times moreover than the Bible. I got the feeling that much of this book was plagiarized from Ronald Heifetz. Although Ronald Heifetz was given his due credit for his quotes, the sheer volume of quotes from Heifetz was innumerable.
The premise of the book using Lewis and Clark was a great start. But from there on, the book was downhill. I would recommend The Leadership Book by John MacArthur as a much better read on Christian leadership.
Chapter 14 was also very concerning to me because of the woke and liberal Christianity in the book. I am a firm believer that there are no such thing as races as we are all one race in Adam. I agree that all voices in the church need to be heard and respected. However, the author goes so far as to ignore the biblical command that a senior pastor be limited to males only (1 Timothy 2:12-15 among others).
It should be noted that this author is a trained pastor of the PCUSA which explains his position on this. He does not only mention many times senior pastors being women, but even goes so far as to encourage other churches to do the same since we are now in different times.

Nabeel does a great job at being real and full of grace in this book. I highly recommend it for anyone wishing to know more about the differences between Christianity and Islam. I also recommend it for any Christian wanting to witness to a Muslim. it is so helpful to you understand the pressures that Muslims face and to understand their culture as well.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 11
Men and women - in marriage especially, but in the rest of life as well - complement one another. And this biblical truth has enduring, cosmic significance. From start to finish, the biblical storyline - and the design of creation itself - depends upon the distinction between male and female. Men and Women in the Church is about the divinely designed complementarity of men and women as it applies to life in general and especially ministry in the church.

Biblically astute
Reviewed: 05-17-21
DeYoung has done a wonderful job and fleshing out this unnecessarily controversial subject in our churches. Culture and society have no right to influence the Bible. God's Word is timeless and should be taken as complete truth and not explained away by human philosophy. I have actually been working in a similar idea for my church and this has taken that burden off as he hits all of the areas I wa
s working on! My only real disagreement cones in head coverings where DeYoung wonderfully exegetes 1 Corinthians 11 but then soft peddles the literal application. Otherwise this is a wonderful book that I will be using with my church!

More teens are turning away from the faith than ever before: It is estimated that 75 to 88 percent of Christian teens walk away from Christianity by the end of their freshman year of college. Something must be done. Family Driven Faith equips Christian parents with the tools they need to raise children biblically in a post-Christian, antifamily society. Voddie Baucham, who with his wife has overcome a multigenerational legacy of broken and dysfunctional homes, shows that God has not left us alone in raising godly children.
