PREVENTING MINISTRY FAILURE (2007). Great ministers don’t just happen. Great falls from ministry don’t just happen either. A complex mix of factors both internal and external test the limits of your ability to minister wholeheartedly over the long haul.
Preventing Ministry Failure (published through InterVarsity Press) is a personal guidebook for pastors and other caregivers to prepare them to withstand common pressures and to flourish in the ministry to which God has called them. Work through the exercises and reflections individually or in conversation with your peers, and you’ll find yourself better equipped for the challenges of vocational ministry, and more conscious of the presence of God leading you on and restoring your soul.

SOUL VIRGINS (2006). Soul Virgins is a book for single adults who desire to live counter-culture with regard to their sexuality. God’s design for the Christian single isn’t about the extremes of repressive restraint on the one hand or hedonistic expression on the other. Instead, it’s about pursuing God’s heart about single adult sexuality from the inside out. Physical virginity is a godly value; however, soul virginity is at the heart of physical virginity – and it’s the heart that matters most to God. With a right heart, right behaviors follow.
Soul Virgins is about reclaiming soul virginity – no matter where life’s journey has taken us. The book invites all Christian single adults to again surrender themselves to God, the great and passionate Lover of our souls.
