Lutheran Voices provides quality, accessible books by Lutheran authors that inform, teach, inspire, and renew. Grounded in Lutheran theology and practice, the books cover a wide range of subjects and themes of interest to members of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and the wider Christian community. Church councils and leadership groups will discover ten helpful devotional reflections and discussion starters for a three-year cycle, focusing on the task of serving from a biblical and theological perspective. Insights from family systems theory provide a framework for the reflections. Through discussion of theory and by encountering and responding to real-life situations, participants will ponder aspects of what they are called to do together.
Called to Serve is for people with questions about creating and maintaining a successful nonprofit board. How can the board of a nonprofit organization work best? Now that I'm on such a board, what should I do? How can we find the best trustees? How should I think about my work for nonprofits? What kind of relationship between a board and the staff will work best? How can we organize and develop the service of busy, committed people? Internationally renowned CEO and best-selling author Max De Pree packs his many years of experience on nonprofit boards into these short letters directed to busy folks active in nonprofit life. Brief, clear, and -- above all -- useful, Called to Serve notes the marks of an effective board, lays out the proper work of boards, gives choices for structuring a nonprofit board, and covers the roles and relationships of board chairpersons, trustees, and presidents. Today there are more than 1.5 million nonprofit organizations in America, with 109 million people working in this important sector of society. In spite of this surprising fact, very little training exists for this kind of service. Called to Serve is valuable not only because it fills this need but also because it comes from the pen of one of America's most experienced and respected business leaders.
“Called to Serve is not only a great source of information for women in leadership in the church but also a plethora of good teaching for anyone who seeks a better understanding of what it means to be a member of the body of Christ!” —(Chaplain Diane Gilbert, M.Div, Gilbert Ministries). “Women, have you searched for a book that resonates with your soul’s needs for instruction and appreciation of service, a book that appreciates your needs as a woman? I introduce to you Dr. Charlotte Morris’s book, Called to Serve. In my shelf, this book has earned a place beside Greenleaf ’s Servant Leadership and Bolman and Deal’s Leading with Soul. I encourage you to get your copy soon! It will bless your life” —(Denise Mendez, EdD, Dean, Mt Airy Religious Training Institute."
This useful guide for church leaders covers all aspects of officer training--call, duties, ethics, the Presbyterian Constitution, and much more. Congregations will find this resource indispensable for the recruitment and training of effective church leaders. Earl S. Johnson, Jr. has revised this best-selling book to include the new standards from the new Form of Government in the Book of Order
At a time of increasing concern about ethics at the top, The Serving Leader calls for leadership that is both more moral and more effective than the ruthless, bottom-line approach that has brought disgrace to once-mighty organizations. The book takes a practical "action approach" to servant leadership-a concept espoused by Ken Blanchard, Stephen Covey and many others. In this second book in The Ken Blanchard series, the authors use a compelling story based on real people to make its five principles of servant leadership accessible to a wide audience. "An amazing new kind of book that will challenge and inspire." -Harvey Mackay, author of Swim with the Sharks without Being Eaten Alive

Jim DeVries, a successful entrepreneur, and Rick Sessoms, an acknowledged leadership educator, join together to challenge existing and potential leaders to impact our culture for Christ. By encouraging others to accept a call to serve in the workplace, they can serve as salt and light starting each Monday, affecting all areas of culture. Jim and Rick begin by showing how mistaken beliefs have devalued everyday work as a means of serving God. While telling the stories of their journey to become leaders, they provide living examples of how God developed them into successful leaders. They share their mistakes, the obstacles they faced, and the valley and mountaintop experiences God shepherded them through. All leading to a new understanding of God's view of success and significance. They give examples of building a healthy culture within an organization and common mistakes that a leader will make to damage it.Don't expect a book that teaches techniques to help you climb the ladder of success. Instead, it shows how you can develop as a genuine leader interested in helping your followers develop as new leaders. You will learn that others will gladly follow you not because you are perfect but because you strive to keep your beliefs, words, and actions in harmony. The book has four parts: God's call to work and leadership; One Leader's Journey; Creating a healthy culture; and Caution and encouragement. Three additional sections are: Learning to communicate responsibly, Learning from Jesus, the master communicator, and Learning effective lay leadership in the church.
