| Accurately counting the right things can profoundly impact ministry effectiveness. Knowing "the story in the stats" can inform decisions and lead to the things that produce the results most pleasing to God. Gathering and studying the right numbers can help a church wisely invest its resources of time, effort, people, money, and facilities. Effectiveness by the Numbers will help ensure that your church is measuring the right things for the right reasons. Counting what counts enables a church to fulfill its mission--making mature followers of Jesus Christ. Jesus and his disciples counted. They knew how many he fed with the five loaves and fishes. When a crowd gathered they often knew and recorded the number of men, women and children present for the event. The early church counted. They knew that on the day of Pentecost about 3,000 were added to their number. The book of Acts reports that "many believed," "people were added," and "many of the Corinthians who heard him believed and were baptized." If Jesus counted and the early church kept track of numbers, it is not unreasonable to expect churches today to use metrics to increase their effectiveness in doing God's work on earth.This title contains a CD-ROM containing Excel templates for calculating some of the measures discussed in the book. |

| After Yeshua of Nazareth has raised his friend El'azar from the dead, news of Yeshua travels fast and the Sanhedrin begin their plot to kill him. Despite the danger, Yeshua and his followers begin the journey to Jerusalem for Passover. Meanwhile, Zachai the tax collector (Zacchaeus), the most hated man in Judea, longs to be a part of the Jewish society that he has been cut off from due to his profession. He falls into despair, believing God can't hear him and that he will always be alone. Simona, a leper who was healed by Yeshua but remains cut off from society to live in the sycamore grove, shows compassion to Zachai and tells him of Yeshua. Zachai begins his quest to find Yeshua in hopes that this man can heal his heart, just as he healed Simona's leprosy. Click here to read a sample chapter! Adobe Acrobat is required.

| When Kenneth E. Hagin was a bedridden teenager, Satan tried to rob him of his life. Then the Spirit of God spoke the following phrase of Scripture to his spirit: "With long life will I satisfy him" (Ps. 91:16.) Studying the Scriptures, Kenneth E. Hagin learned that God did indeed promise His people a long life, and that His Word declares that there are certain things believers can do to make their lives shorter or longer. The word El Shaddai is one of the seven covenant names through which God revealed himself to Israel. In hebrew, El Shaddai means "the All-Sufficient One," or "the God who is more than enough." El Shaddai is based on one of Rev. Hagin's best-known and best loved sermons, a sermon that shows that our loving Heavenly Father is a God of abundance - and long life. Find out all that God intends for you to enjoy in our life in El Shaddai. |
