The Choice
Gary G. Hoag, R. Scott Rodin, & Wesley K. Willmer
The Choice addresses a critical yet unexamined presupposition related to ministry today – defining success. Hoag, Rodin and Willmer identify the current situation, suggest how we got here, and outline practical, formational insights for life and leadership. The principles embedded in this book provide a Christ-centered path for pursuing kingdom outcomes.
The Sower
R. Scott Rodin & Gary G. Hoag
For far too long there has been too little said about this unique approach to raising money in the kingdom of God. Secular approaches have been adopted without question by Christian organizations and ministries. As a result, while we may have had some success in raising money, we have failed to raise up godly stewards. In the past several years, however, the silence has been broken and a wide range of voices has joined with a small group of long-time faithful advocates to call our practices into question. The result of these combined forces is a movement among Christian development professionals, consultants, theologians and ministry leaders to re-think our entire approach to raising money for God’s work.
The Council
Gary G. Hoag, R. Scott Rodin, & Wesley K. Willmer, & Gregory J. Henson
What does the Bible say about board governance? This often-asked question has puzzled board members for decades. The Council answers this question by starting with the Scriptures and ending with the Scriptures.
Thanks to the deep dive that Hoag, Henson, and Willmer have taken into the Scriptures, the question has now been more fully answered than ever before. That is a strong statement, but I am convinced it is true. The authors take the reader on a journey back through the pages of time, stepping right into the biblical record of four key councils which now stand as enduring examples to us in some cases giving us a model to emulate, and in others offering a lesson in pitfalls to avoid.

Giving It All Away…And Getting It All Back Again
David Green with Bill High

The Gospel at Work: How the Gospel Gives New Purpose and Meaning to Our Jobs
Sebastian Traeger & Greg Gilbert
Many Christians fall victim to one of two main problems when it comes to work: either they are idle in their work, or they have made an idol of it. Both of these mindsets are deadly misunderstandings of how God intends for us to think about our employment.
In The Gospel at Work, Sebastian Traeger and Greg Gilbert unpack the powerful ways in which the gospel can transform how we do what we do, releasing us from the cultural pressures of both an all-consuming devotion and a punch-in, punch-out mentality - in order to find the freedom of a work ethic rooted in serving Christ.
The Treasure Principle: Unlocking the Secret of Joyful Giving
Randy Alcorn
Bestselling author Randy Alcorn introduced readers to a revolution in material freedom and radical generosity with the release of the original The Treasure Principle in 2001. Now the revision to the compact, perennial bestseller includes a provocative new concluding chapter depicting God asking a believer questions about his stewardship over material resources. Readers are moved from the realms of thoughtful Bible exposition into the highly personal arena of everyday life. Because when Jesus told His followers to “lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,” He intended that they discover an astounding secret: how joyful giving brings God maximum glory and His children maximum pleasure. Discover a joy more precious than gold!
