"Every believer in Jesus Christ deserves the opportunity of personal nurture and development," says LeRoy Eims. But all too often the opportunity isn't there. We neglect the young Christian in our whirl of programs, church services, and fellowship groups. And we neglect to raise up workers and leaders who can disciple young believers into mature and fruitful Christians. In simple, practical, and biblical terms, LeRoy Eims revives the lost art of disciple making.

How can pastors become resilient in a rapidly changing world? Is it possible to love well and lead faithfully? In the wake of crises that have exposed and accelerated massive cultural shifts, we see more clearly the seismic shifts of post-Christendom, the surging storms of a new paganism and pluralism, and the scattered debris of the cultural aftermath. Drawing on new research from the Barna Group, scripture, and church history, Glenn Packiam addresses some of the most pressing questions for today's leaders.

Every follower of Jesus Christ should be able to answer two simple questions: Who is investing in me?Whom am I investing in? God desires to pour an abundance of spiritual and emotional capital into your life - directly and through older and wiser believers. And he wants to use you to pour spiritual and emotional capital into the lives of others. Along the way, you’ll be changed. Others will change. God calls this process of spiritual investing "making disciples". It’s the heart of the Great Commission.

Story
During the last decade, we have witnessed an unparalleled explosion of interest in the practice of "servant-leadership," as today's business leaders search for a new leadership model for the 21st century. Based on the seminal work of Robert K. Greenleaf, a former AT&T executive who coined the term almost 30 years ago, servant-leadership emphasizes an emerging approach to leadership--one which puts serving others, including employees, customers, and community, first.

Story
What to do when they say they’re Christian but don’t know Jesus. Whether it’s the Christmas and Easter Christians or the faithful church attenders whose hearts are cold toward the Lord, we’ve all encountered cultural Christians. They’d check the Christian box on a survey, they’re fine with church, but the truth is, they’re far from God. So how do we bring Jesus to this overlooked mission field? The Unsaved Christian equips you to confront cultural Christianity with honesty, compassion, and grace, whether you’re doing it from the pulpit or the pews.

Missed Group Speaks Out
This was a great insight into the world of people who used to be out of church and now have changed lives attending church. This book answers what actually worked to reach people not in church. A must read for anyone serving in leadership in a church somewhere.

Of Narrow Interest
Thom Rainwer's book is well written and read. He presents the findings of a study he has undertaken and even his descriptions of methodology are not tiring. I have two concerns about this book and have given it two stars because (1) it has very narrow interest and (2) the presentation of findings is on the superficial side.
Actually, Thom Rainer should have titled his book "Insights from Those Who Were Unchurched but Have Embraced Evangelical Christianity" rather than his chosen alternative. For those seeking an understanding of religion in American, you will not find much help here.
Leaders in the Evangelical world will find information helpful to marketing their ministries, but Rainer provides no broad context from which to understand what is taking place among these individuals. I wish he had approached the topic (even with the narrow target mentioned) after having listened to "Outliers" also available from Audible. I worry that many ministers reading this book will come away feeling inadequate if not guilty about their struggling ministries. For the evangelical leader there is 2% milk, but no meat for the soul. That is ashame, because this is a very needly area of study.
I suspect that Thom Rainer is well meaning, but this book reads as though it was written to sell books and the research was secondary. I hope that he will write additional volumes giving the general reading more insight and provide greater understanding to those who have an evangelical orientation. A secular society deserves more.
