Win a Copy of Welcome Home
Unlike anything you may have read before on the subject, Welcome Home is a uniquely practical and soundly theological guide to nearly every aspect of house churches and small groups. Whether you are an elder of a large congregation with hundreds of small groups, a house church pastor, a church planter, or anyone at all interested in home fellowships, this book is sure to be an encouraging help to your ministry.
By placing significant emphasis on developing leaders, Welcome Home maps out step-by-step ways to begin a house church ministry or to greatly improve existing small group programs. Drawing from solid, Biblical examples and over two decades of hands-on experience, “Welcome Home” sets a clear path for discipleship through home fellowships. The book also includes a CD containing various teaching outlines that may be printed freely for use as class materials.
The second winner will receive a copy of Our Lifeship: A Study in Proverbs for Women by Lynn Wallace. Lynn is an author and speaker who previously served as a missionary to Navajo Indians. You can read more about Lynn on her website. Here is a little more information about her book:
Win a Copy of Our Lifeship
Our life is a ship.
The helm steers the ship.“Wise counsels” in Proverbs 1:5 comes from a word that speaks of the rope that guides the ship. Our Captain, the Lord Jesus Christ, will enable us to guide our ship right as we stay in His Logbook, the Bible. In Our Lifeship several examples of Biblical characters and modern-day women are used. This book contains quotations from Proverbs and other Bible books. In the section, “Challenges Today’s Women Face,” the author interviewed several women over the phone to obtain ideas. This section brings it down to where we live. She closes each chapter with a challenge, “Give the Helm to Jesus.

Esther: Reflections of an Unexpected Life
A remnant of Jews living in a heathen country . . .
A young orphan being raised by her God-fearing cousin . . .
A self absorbed king in search of a new queen . . .
A Jewish woman rising to the throne of Persia . . .
A book of the Bible which makes no mention to the name of God . . .
Random? Surprising? Chance? Maybe at first glance, but upon closer study of Esther’s life, you’ll find that nothing is unexpected to the God who knows the beginning from the end.
Through easily applicable Biblical truths, interwoven with personal and heartfelt stories, Jennifer brings a contemporary relevance to Esther’s extraordinary story. Join Esther on her journey to the throne of Persia and beyond. You’ll not only discover what powerful deeds God was able to accomplish through the unexpected turns that her life took — you’ll discover what He desires to do in the unexpected turns in your life today!
Knowing God Through Prayer
Knowing God through Prayer—the Plan Jesus Gave is a study of the world’s most famous prayer, the Lord’s Prayer (also known as the Model Prayer or Our Father), based on the premise that Jesus would not have told us to pray a prayer that didn’t work, but that each line of the prayer was meant to bring about answered prayer and real communication with God. Real-life examples of answered prayer illustrate the practical truths found in Jesus’ words. A Prayer Guide is included to “jump-start” the reader’s prayer life.
Songs of the Vineyard
This little book of meditations on Isaiah is about history: past, present, and future. It is about people, Jews and Gentiles, and it is about God and our relationship to Him. It is a book of judgment and apocalyptic themes as well as care and restoration. It is a book of facts and principles that can be applied to our lives. It is my hope and prayer that it will stimulate your heart, mind, and soul to seek out the Word of God to have an even closer relationship with Christ.

Three Men of Destiny
They were a gallant and fearless trio of men, hewn from the same genealogical and cultural stick that was rooted back across the Atlantic Ocean in lowland Scotland and in north-east Ireland (the province of Ulster) a century and more before they were born as first American citizens in what was then the outer ring of the Western frontier.
The families of all three, folk with antecedents in lowland Scotland, had taken the arduous and dangerous passage across the Atlantic from Ulster in the mid-18th century in the daunting quest for freedom and a new life and opportunity in the American colonies.
How truly remarkable it was that from this momentous trail-blazing emigration journey, that within a very short period of time, the Jackson, Houston and Crockett names were being carved with enormous pride across this great expanse of land that stretches from sea to shining sea in the United States of America.
