Veteran disciplemaker LeRoy Eims emphasized the training of laypeople to become laborers in the harvest field. Today author Randy Eims adds words of principle and direction to his father's classic book Laboring in the Harvest. In this revised and updated version, both LeRoy and Randy define a laborer as one who is equipped to reach the lost and edify the saved. Their words offer a job description for laborers, outline the training needed for laboring, and describe the spiritual tools a laborer needs in Christ's harvest.

Jesús nos envía al mundo de la misma manera que el Padre lo envió a él. Sin embargo, aun miles de años después, muchos cristianos todavía no se ponen de acuerdo que incluye esto. Algunos creen que el enfoque de la misión cristiana es evangelizar y «salvar almas». Otros enfatizan asuntos de justicia global o la labor de alivio y desarrollo. ¿Acaso solo una de estas dos opiniones está en lo correcto por si sola?

The Beatitudes illustrate the ways of God. With genuine faith, true Christian disciples willingly embrace what many choose not to experience out of fear, conformity, or slothfulness. And in return for their desire to magnify God’s glory in a darkened world, God blesses them with His presence, peace, comfort, and encouragement, culminating in an abundance of heavenly joy! Oh, the joy that comes from living out the Beatitudes!

How often do you pause and give deep thought to eternity? Specifically, how often do you stop and think about what happens when you die? Likely not often! It is a heavy subject with a lot of questions and many seemingly unknowns. It is easier to skip the subjects of death and eternity and just focus on the day-to-day, right? Furthermore, how confident are you in your viewpoint on ‘what’s next’ in the afterlife? Not giving much thought to dying or eternity is common, but it is also a huge risk. We spend time managing our money, our home, our social calendar, and, especially, our phones...

The character of the times in which we live is such as to call forth from us even this admonition, that we ought not to be astonished at the heresies (which abound) neither ought their existence to surprise us, for it was foretold that they should come to pass; nor the fact that they subvert the faith of some, for their final cause is, by affording a trial to faith, to give it also the opportunity of being “approved”. - Tertullian

You have a plan for the rest of your life. God has a plan for the rest of your life. Are they the same? Say Yes to God--formerly titled Dangerous Surrender--will help you find the answer. You have expectations for how your life will play out, and you hope those plans will become realities. But...

Nearly every Christian has struggled with their own significance. Sometimes we look at the "giants" of the faith such as the Apostle Paul and wonder if we--ordinary Christians--matter much at all. In this short book, perfect for group or individual study, Pastor Matthew Everhard sketches the lives of eight very ordinary men and women in the New Testament. Each of these "ordinary" Christians, tucked away in the lesser-known paragraphs of the Book of Acts and Paul's epistles, show us that common everyday men and women can make a huge impact for the Kingdom of Christ. Each chapter--complete ...

Billy Graham is the most well-known Christian in recent memory, and his impact on Christendom continues to be felt around the world. His ecumenical connections and the gospel he preached and promoted are the main reasons for revising and releasing this book. Lordship salvation is something he was most known for. The Catholic ‘plan of salvation,’ where one must ‘first turn from their sins in order to be saved,’ is another gospel that Paul condemns in the Book of Galatians. This ecumenical lordship salvation ‘gospel’ is something all true Bible believers should be concerned about ...

Is God still active around the world today desiring to reach mankind with a personal relationship, or is He just a God from the pages of a two-thousand-year-old book?

Happy is our sacrament of water, in that, by washing away the sins of our early blindness, we are set free and admitted into eternal life! A treatise on this matter will not be superfluous; instructing not only such as are just becoming formed (in the faith), but them who, content with having simply believed, without full examination of the grounds of the traditions, carry (in mind), through ignorance, an untried though probable faith.

When she was a young girl, Jadie (and her missionary family) experienced a brutal attack while on the island of Palau in the South Pacific. That one hellish night left her physically, emotionally, and spiritually damaged. Jadie had the choice to live the life of a victim or to walk the hard road of healing that leads to wholeness in Christ. Though she faced physical injury, emotional scarring (including avoidance, memory loss, and regression), and spiritual attacks, Echoes of Darkness is a story of hope.

Adoniram Judson was unique in his time. He and his wife were among the first missionaries to be sent out from the United States, and his entire ministry was a series of intense mountains and valleys. Adoniram showed a level of commitment and willingness to push through suffering and hard times far beyond what the vast majority of Christians would be willing to endure. His legacy as a pioneer on multiple levels is one that will last through this earth’s remaining time and into the heavenly library. Despite unimaginable hardships, Judson's work bore fruit that continues to impact lives today.

This book places us in a world where every decision ripples into eternity. The actions of leaders—whether to consolidate gains or expand into new horizons, carry eternal significance. The complexities are many—ranging from interpersonal dynamics to global strategies—but the call remains clear: to impose the reign of Jesus Christ on this generation. Theodore Andoseh challenges every believer to ask: Am I part of the solution or part of the problem in God’s Kingdom mission? Am I willing to endure the pain, setbacks, and sacrifices needed for spiritual victory? Do I trust the God who ...
