Don’t Quit Before You Finish by Jimmy Draper
From Amazon:
This book addresses the key elements of Christian leadership. The more than 70 principles included could well apply to anyone in a leadership position in an organization today. The focus is on knowing that God has designed for you to be in a position of leadership and identifying the role of a leader, addressing the principles of change and other challenges leaders face.
There is a crisis in Christian leadership today that is widespread. Many begin in ministry and then fail in their leadership roles. Why does that happen? How do you resolve the issues that are pitfalls for ministry leaders? What are the keys to developing the kind of relationships that will ensure success in leadership? How do you deal with the monumental and systemic changes we face in the world today? Everything in our world is changing faster today than ever before and the changes are such that we will never be the same again. Morals, ethics, religious attitudes and convictions are in flux. How can one navigate the turmoil in every aspect of our culture today successfully? That is what this book is about.
Most of the failures in leadership are self-inflicted. Failing is rarely the fault of those we serve. This book is designed to help every leader examine their own lives and implement the tools presented in this book, with the character to sustain them.

Ultimate Intention by DeVern Fromke
From Amazon:
From the back cover: “The author considers these critical questions: *In the beginning, before God created Adam (mankind), what was His original purpose and plan for him? *What could have happened in the Garden of Eden if Adam had not sinned and God’s redemptive plan had not become necessary? *We know that when God created Adam he received natural life, but how did God plan for Adam to receive Divine (uncreated life)? *What is the difference between God’s creating and begetting work? *It is evident that God has given the Cross a central place in His redemptive working; what is the difference between the WORK of the Cross and the WAY of the Cross? *Since God, in the fullness of time, will put on display His Divine masterpiece before all the universe, how can we fully cooperate with him if we do not understand His Ultimate Intention?”
Insurgence by Frank Viola
From Amazon:
Why does the allegiance that radical terrorists give to their false cause exceed the allegiance that most Christians today give to Jesus Christ?
In Insurgence, bestselling author Frank Viola presents a radical proposal for Christians. Namely, that we have lost the explosive, earthshaking gospel of the kingdom that Jesus, Paul and the other apostles preached. Viola argues that we’ve lost this dynamic, titanic, living gospel and exchanged it for a gospel of religious duty or permissiveness and “easy believism.”
In today’s politically charged era, Christians on the progressive left as well as the conservative right both equate their particular viewpoints with the kingdom of God. Viola challenges and dismantles these perspectives, offering a fresh and revolutionary look at the gospel of the kingdom.
