New Release: Got Gifts? (May 1, 2010)

I am very excited to announce the release of my newest book, Got Gifts?

Actually, this book has taken me longer to write than any book I have ever written. I started writing this book, in response to a pressing need in our church, many years ago. As in most churches, people weren’t serving, because they didn’t know what gifts they’d been given, and lacked the training necessary to use them.

After I started writing the outlines, and teaching the spiritual gifts class, however, we experienced an amazing transition in the church. We went from having 20% of the people doing most of the work, to having 80% of the church members involved in active ministry in the body of Christ. I believe your church can experience similar results.

The secret to mobilizing the church, exists in helping people discover and develop the gifts they have been given, by the Holy Spirit. I believe most church members want to help do the work of the Lord, but simply lack the training to do so. Got Gifts? will teach them how to actively employ their spiritual gifts with positive results.

God has given everyone at least one gift – it’s time to use the gift(s) you have been given to help build the church, and win the lost for Christ!

Got Gifts? will help you discover the gifts you have been given by the Lord, and help you maximize their use, so you can effectively touch lives on His behalf, and win the lost to Him before it’s too late.

Practical Ministry, Tom’s newest book release, offers fresh insights and practical, hands-on help for training leaders. Practical Ministry provides the resources needed to train believers, and existing leaders, in the work of the Lord. Whether you are an existing leader, pastor, or potential leader, we believe Practical Ministry will benefit you.

Practical Ministry is designed for use in Small Groups, Church Bible studies, curriculum for Bible schools, and individual studies. We recommend getting a Study Guide for best results.

Did you know? Statistics show the fastest way to multiply your church is by growing your leadership base? Polls also reveal; average church leaders feel inadequately trained to successfully fulfill the duties they’re given. And a lack of training has been found to be one of the leading causes of burnout for leaders on every level of ministry.

The hands-on approach in Practical Ministry will help you prepare new believers for service, and help existing leaders do it more effectively.

Practical Ministry includes:

(Module 1) Prepared to Serve: training the heart, discovering the calling

(Module 2) Roadmap to Success: learning what to do, to be successful.

(Module 3) Team Ministry: discover the secret to multiplying the church.

(Module 4) Keys to Successful Ministry: helping to develop emerging leaders among you.

In all we do, as servant-leaders for Christ, we are called to serve well. Practical Ministry will give you a clear, easy-to-follow roadmap for successful leadership.

Now available on this website, and through Amazon.com.

We believe Dr. Tom’s new book, Rescuing Peter, not only addresses many of the hot topics facing people today, but provides them with desperately needed solutions to their struggles. Rescuing Peter is designed to help people triumph over the disappointments and personal failures they often encounter in life.

Rescuing Peter is a must read for everyone who has struggled to live an overcoming, abundant life in Christ. Not only does Dr. Tom identify the root cause of many life-battles, but with clear biblical insights, helps readers find the pathway to new life in Christ.

Praise for Two Faces in the Mirror

“A masterfully written book, full of eye-opening truths that will compel you to look inside yourself and see who you really are, and what you can become.”

Dr. Richard Williams
Senior Pastor, Outpouring Worship Center, Ravenna, Michigan

“Dr. Tom Cannon is an exceptional author.  He is an excellent speaker.  Yet, he is more than an author; more than a minister of the Gospel, Tom is a genuine Christian whose daily life challenges all who know him to draw closer to God!  Listen to his challenge.  Allow God to reveal who you are – who you really are in the mirror of His Word.”

Bishop Richard L. Hilton
Senior Founding Pastor, Calvary Church, Johnson City, Tennessee

Praise for Changing Natures

“Changing Natures will encourage believers in their journey with Christ at every level. From new Christians to Church leaders you will be transformed by this powerful reminder that salvation is not simply giving mental assent, but it is a life changing experience. Enjoy your journey as you read Changing Natures.”

B. Courtney McBath, D.Min.
Senior Founding Pastor, Presiding Bishop and Author; Norfolk, Virginia

“Passion, wisdom, integrity and help. Changing Natures is a nexus of those traits. You will be blessed with his passionate writing done with wisdom studied with a scholar’s integrity with only one purpose—to help us all live in our new nature we received through salvation. You will be encouraged to the degree that you will want to send copies of this book to others. Read Changing Natures and get ready to grow and live at a greater dimension!”
