<p>Leadership is one of the most over-used and overwrought topics in Christian ministry today. Yet for all the books, blogs and conferences, there are two staggering realities we must come to grips with: First, while most churches believe they have leadership development programs, in actuality, they have programs that recruit and train volunteers, not leaders. A volunteer is someone who executes someone else's vision. A leader is someone with a vision of their own. In truth, there are often only a few leaders in the average church and everyone else are simply executing their vision. It's the genius with a thousand helpers.Perhaps more troubling, though, is that our development programs are not about releasing leaders to the missional frontier, but volunteers keeping the machine of the church running. To be sure, we should attend to the organization of the church, for it is a significant thing when the scattered church gathers. But as the Church stares precipitous decline in the face-as we look to re-embrace the missio Dei-we must learn again the art that Jesus mastered: the task of multiplying missional leaders and releasing them to the cracks and crevices of society where there is little-to-no Kingdom presence.People often like quippy sayings like, "We want to be known more for our sending capacity than our seating capacity." This book is about how that can become a reality in your community.</p>

<p>Persecution Complex addresses the problem of the persecution narrative among Evangelical Christians in America. The author traces the development of this narrative through history and examines the psychological reasons that we embrace the position of victim. The book then lays out the ways that this perspective has been damaging to Christianity, and the ways that we can move forward to become more loving and life-giving people.</p>

"...an impassioned call for solidarity and unity in a time of political and social uncertainty."-Santa Barbara Independent"I dare you to open this book and take a journey filled with border crossings. At times this journey will make you cry over our silence and blindness to intolerance, but all along the way, you will discover love and be filled with hope. Without finger wagging, David's unvarnished history helps us connect the dots of our nation's complicity in oppression. David invites me--a person of white privilege--into his world knowing we are all in this together. Standing in this strange new world of 2017, David calls the Christian community to join with all people of good faith or no faith to be bridge builders and not wall builders."-The Rev. Mark E. Asman, Rector Emeritus, Trinity Episcopal Church, Santa Barbara
