Can I Find My Way Back to God?
Sold as a 10-pack Wherever You Are Right Now, You Can Move Toward God Do you believe God exists but struggle to connect with him? Do you feel like you’ve forgotten a God you used to know? Or do you feel that God has forgotten you? Most people say they believe in God, but many don’t feel connected to God. That’s just as real for long-time church attenders as it is for long-time spiritual wanderers. Many times in the course of our lives, we sense a distance between where we are and where we want to be. Dave and Jon Ferguson help you start right where you are and take the first step in finding your way back to God.

INSIGHTS AND INSPIRATION FOR PURSUING THE GREAT COLLABORATION For more than a generation, the church in the West has looked to the star pastor or the efforts of a fast-growing church to lead the way in helping us accomplish the mission of Jesus. It's not working. We have forgotten God's truth that we are better together. In their new book, Dave Ferguson and Patrick O'Connell identify the critical missing piece, pointing us to Jesus' prayer in John 17. It is the third "Great" command. We are to Go (the Great Commission) in Love (the Great Commandment) Together (the Great Collaboration). It's when we put all three together--and only when we obey all three--that we'll realize the dream of the kingdom of God. Dave and Patrick use their collective experience and tell the stories of others to share how God is working through collaboration--specifically reproducing church networks--to create an infrastructure for kingdom movement. If you've ever asked why you should join a network or wanted to start one, don't miss these insights from these leaders. Together, they remind us, we can change the world. "A strong church planting network will bring the infrastructure that's essential to multiplying churches. It will also provide the equipping, training and care you and your family will need when times get tough. If we're going to see a wave of church planting across North America, it will depend on strong networks that support and produce healthy church plants." --Kevin Ezell, Send Network "Networks allow us to do what we couldn't do on our own. They help create a new reality and being part of a network lets us imagine things that weren't previously possible. Whether you are part of a large resourced church, or a brand-new church plant, networks give you a seat at the table as you pursue God's mission together." --Chad Clarkson, Houston Church Planting Network "Only through collaboration with other churches, church planters, church leaders and Christ followers is there any hope of seeing the Jesus mission accomplished. Together is that watershed book we need to move forward." --Troy McMahon, Kansas City NewThing Network DAVE FERGUSON is an award-winning author and founding and lead pastor of Chicago's Community Christian Church, a missional multisite community considered one of the most influential churches in America. Dave also provides visionary leadership for NewThing, an international church planting movement, and is president of the Exponential conference. Dave is married to Sue, and they have three amazing kids, Amy, Josh and Caleb. PATRICK O'CONNELL is the Global Director of NewThing, a catalyst for movements of reproducing churches. He is passionate about helping people start new things for the kingdom. He's married to Nancy and they have three great kids.

Good, Great, Greater
Good, Great, Greater
Jesus calls us to something more-something greater. Not just good leadership. Not just growing churches. But a movement of multiplication that transforms lives, cities, and the world. In Good, Great, Greater, general editors Dave Ferguson and Jason Stewart, along with a team of trusted practitioners, invite you to step into a greater vision-one where churches move beyond adding to Level 5 multiplying, where disciples become disciple-makers, leaders reproduce leaders, and churches plant churches to the fourth generation and beyond. Through real stories, practical strategies, and thought-provoking insights, you'll learn how to embrace a new scorecard for success-one that measures both the qualitative and quantitative impact Jesus desires. You'll discover how healthy leaders, reproducing churches, and collabora- tive movements can spark Kingdom transformation. If you're ready to do more-and be better-this book will equip you to lead boldly, multiply effectively, and unleash greater Kingdom impact. Good, Great, Greater is more than a book-it's a call to action and an invitation to join a community with a cause. Are you ready to pursue the greater things?

Starting Over Participants Guide
Starting Over Participants Guide
We all have regrets. Many of them come from our attempts to fulfill unmet longings. The problem is many of us get stuck in in an endless cycle of longing and regret, unable to move forward. In this guide, Dave and Jon Ferguson want to help people recognize specific regrets, release them to God, and learn to see regrets as an opportunity to start over. There are three types of regret: Regrets of Action Regrets of Inaction Regrets of Reaction Our hope is that we would all come to see that God is big enough to redeem even our worst regrets. He can use everything for a greater good. Nothing needs to keep us from the joy and purpose God has for our lives! We can start over and live a life beyond regret. Group leaders will find a session-by-session guide at the back of this guide. We can start over and live a life beyond regret."

Igniting a Culture of Multiplication
Igniting a Culture of Multiplication
Igniting a culture of Multiplication is much more than a book. It is a spark! Why? Because this book, like a single spark, has the potential to ignite a fire that could become a flame, and ultimately a burning inferno. I believe God placed this book in front of you to light a fire within your soul. I am convinced that if church leaders will read and apply the contents of this book it will inflame a blazing fire of revival in the European church.- Dave Ferguson, award-winning author, president of Exponential US and Board member of Exponential Europe. Exponential is a community with a cause, and our vision is to see reproduction and multiplication become the norm in the language and behaviour of the church of Europe. Culture can be defined as spontaneous repeated patterns of behaviour. Culture is shaped from the passion in your heart and the conviction in your mind. What we value becomes what we prioritise, and what we prioritise becomes our story and our language and is visible through our behaviour.Through this book we want to inspire and challenge you to ask yourself questions about multiplication. Our prayer is that multiplication will become the norm in the language and behaviour of the church of Europe. - Øivind Augland, visionary leader and President of Exponential Europe

America Through the Eyes of an Immigrant from a Socialist Country
America Through the Eyes of an Immigrant from a Socialist Country By: Dave W Chen America Through the Eyes of an Immigrant from a Socialist Country details Dave W Chen’s early life in China, his experiences immigrating to and living in America, and the stark difference between the two systems. Many Americans are naïve about the evils of living in a socialist country compared to the freedom of capitalist America. With his perspective as an immigrant, Chen has a unique vantage point as first an outsider and then an insider and citizen of the USA. Americans must treasure this country in order to keep it great and never let it slip into the hands of socialism or communism where dictators and their accomplices benefit and the rest of mankind suffers.

Hybrid Church
Hybrid Church
A hands-on resource for both large and small churches It has been predicted that in the twenty-first century extremely large churches would emerge in America that resemble neither an elephant nor a field of mice. Which is better? At one time the answer would have been either/or. Now it's both/and. We want both the intimacy of smallness and the impact of bigness-we want a hybrid of the two. Hybrid Church is a practical guide for clergy and leaders who want to have the best of both church worlds: the intimacy of small "house church" groups and the impact of very large mega-churches. Offers a guide for churches who want to capitalize on their strengths to build intimacy with impact Written by the pastor of one of the "fastest growing" and "most innovative" churches in America with thousands of members organized in small house groups Outlines a vision for how the church of tomorrow could look like the early church. Given that the trend is toward very large and very small, with few churches in the middle, this book will be a welcome resource for both large and small churches.
