NON-FICTION
Leadership for Breakthrough: A Balanced Approach to Leadership (Series: Activating God’s Five-Fold Equipping Gifts Book 1)
Leadership in twos or threes is not enough to see a Move of God continue for decades. A Move of God may come to a church or a community, but without the all the Leaders of Jesus Christ’s Church working together history shows the Move will be short lived. These Leaders need to understand each other and their gifting, work together. Not separately, not in twos or threes. It takes all Five of the gifts Jesus Christ gave to His Church in Ephesians 4:11-13. Leadership for Breakthrough opens our eyes to how a Move of God will continue to last – like it did with the Moravians by Russell and Bonnie Snyder.
Church Leadership in Breakthrough: A Balanced Approach to Leadership (Series: Activating God’s Five-Fold Equipping Gifts Book 2)
God’s plan for His Church has always been to use Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers to lead His people by equipping, training, aligning, mending and preparing them to do the ministry. This book lays the groundwork for a local congregation to move from a traditional pastor led congregation to one in which all Five of the Equipping Gifts of Ephesians 4:11-13 are working together to equip the saints to do the work of the ministry.
The focus of this book is to bring some understanding of what needs to take place for the Five Equipping Gifts to have an impact on local congregations. Each congregation looks different than another, so this is not a cookie cutter version of what to do. As form always follows function so each local congregation may have been set in place to reach different types of people to accomplish a different part in advancing God’s Kingdom – each congregation’s function will determine the form it takes by Russell Snyder.
The Prophetic Ministry: Understanding How to Share God’s Heart
A study on the words Prophecy, Prophetic, Prophet(s), Prophesy, Prophesying in both the Old and New Testaments and how they impact us today. The second part of this book includes proposed biblical guidelines of how to see Prophecy used within local congregations by Russell Snyder.
Emotions: The Controlling Factor in the Church
Emotions are the controlling factor in our society today. Have you ever wondered where your emotions come from? Are you able to recognize when your emotions are controlling you? Do you wonder why they have such a great impact on your daily decision-making? So many of the influences affecting us have targeted our emotions. If you want to be like Jesus, this practical, encouraging and challenging biblical insight will help you to use your emotions the way Jesus Christ used His. Whether it is a poor self image, medicating one’s pain, fighting for your rights or dealing with people who justify their actions and manipulate others, God can help you discern how to live your life in control of your emotions. Either you control your emotions or your emotions will control you by Russell Snyder.
