Why do so many ministers abandon their churches in frustration? These concepts and biblical lessons can turn lives and ministries around. 
Frustration in Christian work often results when efforts are not evaluated with biblical perspective. Like many in Christian service, Kent and Barbara Hughes struggled with defining success. Based on their experiences, Liberating Ministry from the Success Syndrome is for anyone in ministry facing the disappointment of unmet expectations. As the authors recount the biblical lessons that turned their life around, others will learn to reexamine their understanding of success in light of Scripture.

WITHIN THE MOST FAMILIAR OF ALL PRAYERS-THE LORD'S PRAYER-LIES A RADICAL TRUTH: CHRISTIANS CAN APPROACH GOD AS A CHILD SEEKS OUT A CARING FATHER. ALL TOO OFTEN, WE GET TANGLED IN THE FALSE NOTION THAT GOD IS TOO BUSY TO ATTEND TO OUR PERSONAL NEEDS. WE STRIVE FOR INDEPENDENCE BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IT IS A SIGN OF STRENGTH BEFORE THE ALMIGHTY. BUT IN THE LORD'S PRAYER, JESUS REMINDS US THAT GOD THE FATHER IS OUR ABBA-OUR DADDY. IF WE LEARN TO TRUST HIM AND DEPEND ON HIS FATHERLY CHARACTER, WE WILL DISCOVER OUR TRUE SELVES AND OUR PROPER PLACE IN THE WORLD. IN A WARM AND MEDITATIVE WAY, KENT HUGHES SAVORS THE MESSAGE OF JESUS IN THE LORD'S PRAYER: THAT IF WE REALIZE OUR OWN VULNERABILITY, WE WILL DISCOVER GOD'S DESIRE TO REVEAL HIMSELF AS THE SUPPLIER AND NURTURER OF OUR EVERY NEED.

Living on the Cutting Edge: Joshua and the Challenge of Spiritual Leadership

In our day of massive religious confusion, the message of Colossians is among the most timely of all the New Testament books. Today many seek to exclude belief in God from every corner of modern life. Others flaunt "New Age" ideas about God and Christ which collide with the Scriptures. Confusion reigns and many are in need of knowing the Truth.
Christians in the first-century city of Colosse lived in a similar situation. Having first received the true Christian faith, they were soon confronted with distortions of the truth concerning the divinity and humanity of Christ and at the same time tempted by spiritual elitism. And the answers they needed are the same timeless answers that the modern world cries out to hear.
In this study of Colossians; Pastor R. Kent Hughes' expositions go to the heart of the text in Colossians, amplifying its message with memorable illustrations and penetrating insight. His careful exegesis and perceptive applications offer new understanding and promote lasting growth in Christ.
Here is a resource with solid help for pastors, teachers, and indeed anyone who wishes to understand or to communicate the grand message of the book of Colossians—a timely volume with enduring value of the Church of Jesus Christ. Part of the Preaching the Word series.

Colossians and Philemon: The Supremacy of Christ (Preaching the Word)

Crossway

In our age of aggressive evil and apathetic faith, the Gospel of Mark resounds with the dynamic power of the Lord Jesus Christ. Perhaps the most dramatic and action-packed of the synoptic Gospels, Mark's writing continues to inspire increased commitment in the Church at large.
Mark's portrayal of Christ as the Servant-Savior takes on fresh relevance in these masterful expositions by respected pastor/author R. Kent Hughes. With careful exegesis, the author draws from the text many practical lessons for everyday living and effective ministry. His numerous illustrations reflect wide interests, extensive reading, and years of experience pastoring and counseling those who seek to know Christ and walk in his ways.
This first volume covers Mark 1:1-9:1, the main part of Jesus' teaching and healing ministry. As the Messiah confronts evil spirits, heals the helpless, and challenges the orthodox, a final conflict with the religious establishment becomes inevitable—and we, like the ancient world, must decide if we will acknowledge him as our Lord and Savior.
Those who preach, teach, and study will find this book a gold mine of helpful information. With divisions and outlines that are never forced, but flow naturally from the text, Mark will be a great boon to those charged with communicating the Word, and to all who seek to grow in their faith through personal Bible study. Part of the Preaching the Word series.

Mark: Jesus, Servant and Savior, Volume 1 (Preaching the Word)

Many Christians, pastors and laymen alike, consider the Apostle Paul's Epistle to the Romans the richest lode of theological truth ever written. Its themes of justification by faith, abounding grace, freedom from sin and from the old nature, living sacrifices, God's sovereignty/man's responsibility, and much else have both challenged and nourished followers of Christ for centuries.
A systematic theology, a practical presentation of the Christian life, an apologetic for the gospel of Jesus Christ—the Book of Romans is all this and more. In this helpful commentary (fifth book in the Preaching the Word series) Pastor R. Kent Hughes brings all his talent for clear exposition, pointed application, and literary expression to bear on this power-packed Pauline letter.
Whether used as source material for sermons, adult Sunday school classes, and Bible study groups, or as a guide for individual study of the Scriptures, this volume will encourage and equip believers in their walk with God. Part of the Preaching the Word series.

Romans: Righteousness from Heaven (Preaching the Word)

This second volume covers Mark 9:2-16:20, the culmination of Jesus' ministry on earth. Seen in glory on the Mount of Transfiguration, challenged by religious skeptics, the Christ moves inexorably toward the Cross, where history's greatest battle would be fought and won. And so we, like the ancient world, are confronted with the crucified and risen Christ and must decide if we will acknowledge him as our Lord and Savior.
Thus in our age of aggressive evil and apathetic faith, the Gospel of Mark resounds with the dynamic power of the Lord Jesus Christ. Perhaps the most dramatic and action-packed of the Synoptic Gospels, Mark's writing continues to inspire increased commitment in the Church at large.

Mark: Jesus, Servant and Savior (Preaching the Word) Volume Two

Crossway Books

The Apostle Paul's Letter to the Ephesians is one of the most dynamic portions of all of Scripture. Called by one commentator "the crown and climax of Pauline theology," it issues a clarion call to all who follow the Master. With its dual focus on Christ and the Church, with it's careful presentation of doctrine, then duty, it points the way to true Christian living and victory in a sin-embattled world.
In this helpful volume, Pastor Hughes provides an interesting treatment of the major themes of Ephesians:
<ul>
<li>The celebration of full redemption</li>
<li>The mystery of a new humanity—a third race—in Christ</li>
<li>The fullness of the Spirit for holy living</li>
<li>The beauty of God-given roles in the home and workplace</li>
<li>The implications of our position with Christ in the heavenly realms</li>
<li>Resounding victory in spiritual warfare</li>
</ul>
This practical commentary on a strategic Bible book will challenge and equip preachers/teachers and their hearers for a walk of spiritual power. Part of the Preaching the Word series.
