Courageous – Church Campaign Kit

Sleeping Giant – DVD Leader Kit

Luck, Kenny (Author)

Sleeping Giant – DVD Leader Kit is a 6 session Bible study for men. If you’re looking to disciple the men of your church, to provide a greater context for your existing men’s ministry, or to start a men’s ministry from scratch, this “Men’s Ministry in a Box” is an ideal resource for you. Author Kenny Luck uses the term “sleeping giant” to describe the men in the body of Christ and the incredible untapped potential within. Pastors intuitively sense it but are sometimes unsure how to meaningfully engage and integrate the men of their churches. Sleeping Giant introduces a process to move men along an intentional spiritual pathway from “affiliated” to “activated.” The Sleeping Giant model begins with a core team chosen by the pastor. Working together, this core team will create a vision for men based on the pastor’s vision for the church while initiating their own spiritual path. Through the six sessions, this core team will go through the process of Get In, Get Healthy, Get Strong, and Get Going. Upon completion, they will be ready to lead other men through that same process, creating a multiplying effect that spills over into the rest of the church and the community.

Hope is Alive

by Lance Lang

This book is the story of how my hope departed, how it was restored, and how I’ve kept it alive. I wrote it for drug addicts, alcoholics, gamblers, sex addicts, hurt people, prideful people, and angry people. I wrote it for the fear-ridden, the guilty, the insecure, the obsessed, the perpetually disappointed, and anyone else caught in the tornado of destruction that is addiction. I wrote it for those without hope, so they can know beyond a doubt that hope is alive. I grew up in a glass house, open seemingly for the whole world to see. Each disappointment and defeat pushed me farther and farther along my dark journey. I had absolutely no control, no hope, and no future outside of a daily purposeful pursuit to get high. But hope surfaced, and has driven me to a freedom and satisfaction I had previously assumed were unattainable.

Sexual Detox

by Tim Challies.

Sick of porn? Time to detox.

A huge percentage of men need a porn detox, a moral and psychological reset. Do you? If so, whether you know it or not, pornography has corrupted your thinking, weakened your conscience, warped your sense of right and wrong, and twisted your understanding and expectations of sexuality. You need a reset by the One who created sex.

In this book, I hope to help you reorient your understanding of sex, both in the big picture and in the act itself, according to God’s plan for this great gift. I want to help you detox from all the junk you’ve seen, all the lies you’ve believed.

This is not an easy process. It is rarely a quick process. It involves a letting go of old realities and an embrace of a new normal. To be willing to go through it you need to see how bad your current situation really is, and how the path you are on leads no place good. You need to see that the path of porn leads only to more isolation, guilt, alienation, and pain. Whether single or married, such a reset to normal is the only thing that can ever equip you to become a pure, loving, attentive, sacrificial husband.

But you already know you need to change. Few Christian men indulge in porn without realizing they need to quit. Every Christian guy who looks at porn wants to stop, but many of us want to stop just a little bit less than we want to keep going. The problem isn’t knowledge. It’s desire and ability. So sin prevails.

Here’s a promise. You’ll never stop until you begin to see the monstrous nature of the sin you’re committing. You’ll never stop until the sin is more horrifying to you than the commission of the sin is enjoyable. You’ll need to hate that sin before you can find freedom from it. That means you need more grace. You need to cry out to be changed and to see the monstrous nature of this sin. And then you need to behave in faith that God will meet you with grace as you act to cut off the porn and begin the reset.

—Tim Challies

Taking Every Thought Captive

by Mark R. Laaser

Lust, greed, pride, arrogance… We are facing the same kind of moral decline that was the ruin of countless cultures before us. In a world full of immorality, how do we take the first steps toward change? Every temptation begins with a thought. There has never been a more difficult time to resist temptations of all kinds. Taking your thoughts captive is essential in today’s world; the mind can be either evil, according to the ways of the world, or good, as it is transformed into God’s will. In Taking Every Thought Captive, you are invited on a journey of restoration, obedience and accountability.  Learn what obedience to Christ really is and how to incorporate it into our own lives.

Shattered Vows

Elevating God

by Rick Furmanek

Do you find yourself wondering what truly matters in life?

Do the beliefs avowed by our culture leave you confused and empty?

Is it time for a recalibration?

In contrast to the nominal pursuits of the day—activities that often keep us both distracted and exhausted—Elevating God is a clarion call to redirect our energies toward what really matters: God. The key to our experiencing true meaning and lasting significance can only be found in our pursuit of him.

Elevating God spotlights key biblical truths specifically intended to challenge you to elevate your view of God: who he is, what he is like, how he works, and what he has done.

Whether you are a new follower, a seasoned believer, or a Christian somewhere in the middle who desires more of God, here is help to establish and reestablish core biblical certainties necessary to keep you focused, rooted, and steady in him.

Seven Days in Utopia (Golf’s Sacred Journey)

by David L. Cook

You never really know when you might meet someone who will change your life. Golf’s Sacred Journey is a story about a “chance” meeting between a fictitious golf professional and his unorthodox mentor. As the story unfolds, we – along with the pro – learn lessons about golf and life that we never expected to learn in places we never expected to learn them.

“This book floored me…” writes NBA World Champion and MVP David Robinson. Bestselling author Max Lucado adds, “I read this book in one sitting. It stirred my heart.”

Sleeping Giant

Crick, Tom (Author) ,   Luck, Kenny (Author)

The church has an “800 pound gorilla” in the room: Men.

Many pastors see the need but are at a loss for how to really engage men in their culture and church context. Deep down they know they haven’t yet inspired men into the mission and vision of the local church on the same scale as women. Meanwhile, most men feel further detached from worship, left only with worldly expressions of manhood to fuel their identity.

Sleeping Giant is a punch in the gut and pat on the back for pastors and men worldwide, a powerful biblical approach that will bring them together and awaken some serious ministry potential.

And a church that gets men right can slay another dragon: Global injustice.

Injustice against women, children, and all innocents is rooted in broken male culture. The Bible says “Just as through the disobedience of the one man many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of one man many will be made righteous” (Romans 5:19). As the church disciples men into an identity and purpose that transcends culture, they will move from Adam and death over to Jesus and life.

You can see it taking place in Acts 2 following Pentecost, when widespread repentance and changing of men’s hearts brought God’s justice and relief to people. A masculine revolution happened then, and it can happen today.

Becoming a Man of Valor

by Mark R. Laaser

Gone are the days of knights and chivalry, but, that hasn’t changed God’s vision of you as a man of valor. Integrity and honor are elusive in a world that has lost its moral compass, yet every man should strive to possess those qualities. In Latin, integrity means being a whole person, becoming complete with no cracks or fissures. Having integrity means we will act at all times according to our faith. The Hebrew word for honor was an expression of value and worth for others. Both of these qualities can be seen in Jesus’ interactions with others in the gospel of John. “Becoming a Man of Valor” will take you on a journey to engage this wisdom from the life of Jesus. While the book’s title is directed toward men, the principles are applicable to both men and women seeking integrity and honor in their lives.

Winning Character

by Tommy Bowden

Coach Bowden says it’s all in the C.A.R.D.S. Commitment, Accountability, Responsibility, Discipline, Sacrifice These attributes, or cards, are on every man’s table. Bowden deals with each one of them here, boldly challenging readers to be consistent men of character and integrity.

Show and then Tell

by Kent Humphreys and Davidene Humphreys

Sharing Christ with others is considered by most to be one of the most difficult tasks in Christianity. But we are called to share Christ with everyone in our sphere of influence. One of the main reasons why people don’t share Christ is because they don’t really know Him. Kent and Davidene Humphreys offer Show and Then Tell, a book not simply about evangelism, but about allowing Christ to work through us to affect those around us.

Rite of Passage Parenting: Four Essential Experiences to Equip Your Kids for Life

by Walker Moore

It’s no secret: something has happened to America’s families. Dramatic shifts in our culture mean that what was once an acceptable way to produce mature, capable adults has now all but disappeared. In Rite of Passage Parenting, family expert Walker Moore explains how that happened. And after concisely assessing the problem, Moore teaches you how to build into your children”s lives the essential experiences every child needs: (1) an authentic Rite of Passage, (2) Significant Tasks, (3) Logical Consequences, and (4) Grace Deposits from parents, grandparents, and other caring adults.

Walker Moore writes from years of experience as a minister, family speaker, youth culture specialist, and father. He knows well the damage to self-reliance, self-worth, values foundation, and identity that missing out on these essential experiences can cause. In Rite of Passage Parenting, he shows you how to prevent the damage and help your children move toward adulthood in a healthy way.

If you are concerned about the effects of the current cultural chaos; if you notice in your children a lack of responsibility, the lack of a good work ethic, disrespect for authority; if you are worried that your children may experiment with false rites of passage-profanity, smoking, drugs, alcohol, body piercing, or sex-let Walker Moore show you how to provide the four essential experiences most children are missing.

A Man’s Guide to Work: 12 Ways to Honor God on the Job

by Patrick Morley

We were created to work, and feel most happy, alive, and useful doing the work we were created to do. The act of productivity is its own reward.

Half a man’s life is bound up in his work, but few men ever learn a biblical framework, or “theology of work,” to help think correctly about all those hours, weeks and years they invest in their job. Patrick Morley, author of The Man in the Mirror knows that men everywhere want their lives to count and make a real difference. He has written a book for men in the workforce who want to integrate their faith and work. Whether a businessman, construction worker, salesman, lawyer, accountant, or plumber, men will be introduced to principles which provide a better understanding of themselves and how to be most effective and valuable in their chosen career.

A Man’s Guide to Work helps train men for the marketplace. It helps them figure out how their relationship with God should influence their work and relationships with colleagues.  It ultimately shows men how to experience the power of God in their work, to bring about social transformation through their work and how to make their work life count for the glory of God!
