Every Business Is God's Business The notion that labor for profit and worship of God are now, and always have been, worlds apart, is patently false. The Early Church founders were mostly community leaders and highly successful businesspeople. The writing of the Gospels was entrusted to Luke, a medical doctor; Matthew, a retired tax collector; Mark, the manager of a family trust; and John, a food supplier. Lydia was "a dealer in purple cloth." Dorcas was a clothes designer. In this expanded version of the bestselling Anointed for Business, Ed Silvoso focuses on the heart of our cities, which is the marketplace. Yet the perceived wall between commercial pursuit and service to God continues to be a barrier to advancing His kingdom. Silvoso shows Christians how to knock down that wall--and participate in an unparalleled marketplace transformation. Only then can we see God's kingdom invade every corner of our world. Readers will appreciate Silvoso's passionate call to men and women in the workplace to rise to their God-appointed positions. The included study guide will enable the reader to put these revolutionary concepts into action.

No one goes into ministry planning to fail. Yet, many who start out with the noblest intentions can become overwhelmed by the demands they encounter.

Central to God’s character is the quality of holiness. Yet, even so, most people are hard-pressed to define what God’s holiness precisely is. Many preachers today avoid the topic altogether because people today don’t quite know what to do with words like “awe” or “fear.” R. C. Sproul, in this classic work, puts the holiness of God in its proper and central place in the Christian life. He paints an awe-inspiring vision of God that encourages Christian to become holy just as God is holy. Once you encounter the holiness of God, your life will never be the same.

God doesn't love men more than women. Why then have women been excluded from church leadership for so long? History is replete from biblical days through the centuries with godly women who impacted society. The cameos of these women had godly character traits that set them apart. In 1978, author Frieda C. White published A Woman Called to Preach, which has seen great success in the years since. Now, she has transformed her opus into A Woman God Can Use, a detailed exploration of the relationship between women and God. Here are just a few of the questions explored in this expanded and updated book: Are women held in higher esteem in the Old Testament than in the New Testament? Does the Bible teach that women are a necessary and valuable part of the ministry? Is the whole body of Christ (both male and female) needed for the saints to be perfected and edified? In addition to asking tough questions about the role of women in theology and the church, White discusses women who have been anointed by God throughout the ages-women like Joan of Arc, Harriet Tubman, and Mother Teresa. The historical and biblical evidence is clear: God wants women to provide guidance at the same level as men.
