| Sometimes greatness is measured by possessions or power and parents become preoccupied with raising "resume" and "pedigree" children. Yet true greatness is an internal evidence of attitudes and a heart known for humility, compassion, graciousness, and enthusiasm. Author and speaker Dr. Tim Kimmel identifies the three most critical and life-changing decisions that will make the difference. According to Kimmel, preparing your children to determine what they will do (their mission), who they will do it with (their mate), and who they will do it for (their master) is the greatest gift you could give them. Raising Kids for True Greatness will expose the shallow wisdom of the world, giving parents a road map to guide their children toward rich lives of eternal value and significance. |

| Funding Principles that Empower Ministry: Lessons drawn from EQUIP Pastors do not enter the ministry because they like to ask for money, but most discover quickly that fundraising is essential if their ministry is going to succeed. In this book, Doug Carter shows how to teach givers to participate in ministry with their gifts and offerings. Using examples from EQUIP and from EQUIP partners who have successfully used these principles in their churches and ministries, Doug shows the reader how to build relationships into stewardship and then create partnerships for ministry. In his foreword to Raising More Than Money, Dr. John C. Maxwell says, "Doug's vocation in the realm of development has focused more on teaching givers to reflect the giving nature of Christ than about raising money. I'm confident that if you embrace the principles that Doug shares, it will impact your life now and throughout eternity." |

| Raising Responsive Children: A Bible Study for Moms addresses a mother's realities and responsibilities in her parenting. Its purpose is to lead a Christian mom to this truth: God's goal is not to change her children so that they'll do what she wants; it's to change her, so that she'll do what He wants in the lives of her family members. This twelve-week Following God( workbook study calls a mom to examine her relationship first with her Heavenly Parent through His Son; to rely on the One Who died for her; to draw from the Holy Spirit who will lead her into all truth, and help her apply that truth to her parenting. Raising Responsive Children will also challenge her to assess her relationship with her husbandhow she respects him as a man, a husband, and a father. From participating in this study, she will begin to recalibrate her attitudes where necessary so that her children will learn to understand, respect, and welcome dad's role. Raising Responsive Children also addresses single moms. It will encourage them to embrace their current circumstance with their Ultimate Father, as well as with their Ultimate Bridegroom. |

| Two-thirds of today's teens are interested in having a meaningful relationship with God, yet less than one-third of them are active in a local church. Alvin Reid - an experienced pastor and youth ministry speaker - suggests that these statistics indicate that it is time to change how the church does youth ministry.Today's generation of teens is marked by teamwork, authenticity, and a "can - do" attitude. They have incredible potential and a desire to be taught how to be Christian adults. This compelling book provides an impassioned plea for the church to set their standards higher, to reinvent the fundamental ways we minister to teens and their families. |
