"Everyone should know what a volume of sermons by Chappell is like, for he has published many of them and they have been widely read. If there are any who do not know, they may wisely start right here. They will find in these sixteen sermons most of the qualities that make good preaching. They deal with central and abiding themes; they are clear in thought and statement; they breathe earnestness and sincerity; they call for action; they are well illustrated but not over-illustrated; they hold attention to the last word." Clovic G. Chappell is a well known American preacher. His unique insights into biblical truths and his unusual ability to apply them cogently to the lives of men and women gained him a large following among churchmen, both laymen and preachers." 216 pgs.

Minneapolis, MN, U.S.A.: Bethany House Publishers. 1999. Hard Cover. New in New DJ. BRAND NEW HARDCOVER WITH DUST JACKET. "Pastors are not immune to the struggles of mid-life careers. Over the years many pastors slowly lose the full-hearted passion and vision of their original call to serve God. The tendency is to slow down, retire on the job, or stop growing. Like a low- grade temperature, its symptoms are difficult to detect and seldom get reported, but its effects are destructive and tragic. Longtime pastor Gary Fenton writes candidly about the changes of ministry at mid-life and how pastors can finish strong in the second half. He shows pastors how to keep their ministries vibrant at any age and how to use their gifts to their full potential." (more information)

Minneapolis, MN, U.S.A.: Bethany House Publishers. 1999. Hard Cover. New in New DJ. BRAND NEW HARDCOVER WITH DUST JACKET. "Most pastors, rookies and veterans alike, experience the betrayal, the hurt, and the anger that comes with church conflict while working in a church. The pain of conflict cuts to the soul, and only words that address the soul can begin the healing process. Longtime pastor Gary Preston has been wounded, but instead of techniques to handle conflict better, he explores how the conflict he has faced as a pastor has driven him to God. Preston speaks not with cynicism but with candor about the realities of local church work. He points pastors back to God and offers hope for finding grace and comfort in the midst of suffering."

Concordia Publishing House. 1967. Soft Cover. Very Good. Ex-Church Library Copy with Ink Stamp, Pocket Removed. Light Edge Wear & Rubbing to Cover, No Spine Crease, Pages Tight & Unmarked. "Do benefits, sales, and bazaars express the Biblical idea of stewardship? Why is the church suffering financial privation in times of prosperity? Waldo Werning sees the answers to these questions in this concise summary: 'It is necessary to raise money only when Christians fail to give it.' He confronts the problems that plague churches when methods have been adopted without care for the theological implications. This book presents a theological foundation for stewardship through the concept of Christian vocation. Its call is to approach stewardship as edifying and training members for discipleship, rather than as a means of managing the church to achieve its goals and ends." 186 pgs. (more information)
