How does work fit into a meaningful, God-honoring life?
For some, the answer comes quickly. Others have a tough time connecting their job to their faith.
Are we just to work hard, avoid immorality, and witness to coworkers?
Questions about work should go even deeper.
-- Does all work really matter? Does it matter equally?
-- Is being “true to your craft” the same thing as being faithful at work
-- How can you use your work to promote the good of your neighbor, mankind, and the world?
The product of twenty years of thought and hundreds of interviews, Work goes beyond historical background and inspiring stories to explain the Bible’s teaching on the nature, glory, misery, and eventual restoration of work. Through our work, whatever it may be, we have an opportunity to love our neighbors as ourselves—and to serve God in transforming his world.

Days before Chad Williams was to report to military duty in Great Lakes, Illinois, he turned on a television and was greeted with the horrifying images of his mentor, US Navy SEAL Scott Helvenston, being brutally murdered in a premeditated ambush on the roads of Fallujah, Iraq. Steeled in his resolve, Chad followed in Scott’s footsteps and completed the US military’s most difficult and grueling training to become a Navy SEAL. One of only 13 from a class of 173 to make it straight through to graduation, Chad served his country on SEAL Teams One and Seven for five years, completing tours of duty in the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Iraq.
Part memoir, part evangelism piece, SEAL of God follows Chad’s journey through the grueling Naval Ops training and onto the streets of Iraq, where he witnessed the horrors of war up close. Along the way, Chad shares his own radical conversion story and talks about how he draws on his own experiences as a SEAL to help others better understand the depths of Christ’s sacrifice and love.

More info →Emotionally Healthy Discipleship–Moving from Shallow Christianity to Deep Transformation
Pastors and church leaders want to see lives changed by the gospel. They work tirelessly to care for people, initiate new ministries, preach creatively, and keep up with trends. Sadly, much of this effort does not result in deeply changed disciples.
Traditional discipleship strategies fail because they do not:
- Slow down people's lives so they can cultivate a deep, personal relationship with Jesus.
- Challenge the values of Western culture that have compromised the radical call to follow the crucified Jesus.
- Integrate sadness, loss, and vulnerability, leaving people defensive and easily triggered.
- Measure our spiritual maturity by how we are growing in our ability to love others.
In Emotionally Healthy Discipleship, bestselling author Pete Scazzero lays out how to create an emotionally healthy culture and multiply deeply-changed people in every aspect of church life—including leadership and team development, marriage and single ministry, small groups, preaching, worship, youth and children's ministry, administration, and outreach.
Complete with assessments and practical strategies, Emotionally Healthy Discipleship will help you move people to the beneath-the-surface discipleship that actually has the power to change the world.

The moral decay that surrounds us, at the hands of those who would attempt to destroy the very nation we love, has brought us to a very dangerous destination, a place of no return if we don’t stand up and take action NOW!
A rewriting of our great American experiment has been underway for a hundred years! It has been well-crafted by people under the influence of a globalist one worldview. It places your individual freedoms at the mercy of a ruling class with a one worldview.
When Hitler rose to power, he removed any voice contrary to his, so he could start to systematically remove anything in opposition to him and reeducate the populous in his image for Germany. He began to burn all the books and to rewrite history. Why? Because he only wanted one voice, His.
The books are burning in America right now.
The voice of the one worldview and the antichrist spirit has risen to be the predominant agenda of those who would attempt to overthrow our nation and freedoms.
We are in a war right now for our nation’s soul and the freedoms afforded to us by the sacrifice of previous generations. The globalists are attempting to remove everything you take for granted as an American. Your freedoms and the future of your generations are in the balance right now, and if we don’t stand up now, we could lose our precious nation.

I love Bill Hybels' practical down-to-earth writing style. This volume is getting a little hard to find given it was originally published over 20 years ago, but Amazon still has several sources listed for new and used copies. Hybels challenges us as Christians to examine our lives and live according to God's principles.
