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.

“Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion, for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into the harvest.” (Matthew 9:35-39)
