Growing a Family Strengthening Church   by Reb Bradley 
8 tape set with syllabus

Families in America, both Christian and otherwise, are under great attack. Marriages are self-destructing, children no longer honor their parents, and sibling rivalry is the norm. Sadly, churches, even Christ-centered ones, do little to effectively help -- Christian individuals seem to grow strong, but their families remain weak. In the 70's church analysts began to notice that our modern approach to church, with its emphasis on age-segregated programs, actually contributed to the weakening of families. In 1987 Hope Chapel Christian Fellowship was planted with the intent of creating a fellowship which would grow strong families, as well as strong individuals. What began as an experiment has become what many consider to be a model church for strengthening families. In fact, its reputation for success draws inquiries and visits from pastors and church-planters across the nation. This 8-tape set is a practical how-to guide for those who want to develop an approach to church that strengthens family bonds.     Sessions include:        

Tape 1 - Foundation for Fruitful Change
Tape 2 - The Importance of Strengthening Families

The New Testament Home Church: Its organization and structure  
by Reb Bradley --  Booklet

A growing trend among Christians today is the establishment of home fellowships in place of the more traditional "organized" church. These home churches are attractive because they lack many of the trappings of larger, program-oriented churches, but they can easily become imbalanced if they are not patterned closely after the organizational structure of the New Testament Church. As a pastor who planted a home church which has grown to over 400 members, Reb presents the Bible's guidelines for local church structure and organization. $4

Hell's Best Kept Secret
by Ray Comfort

Twentieth century Christianity produces more backsliders than true converts -- typically 80-90% of those making "decisions" for Christ never follow through on their commitment to follow Him. Evangelists of past centuries never saw this extreme level of failure. Ray Comfort exposes why our modern approach to evangelism fails, and how we can return to a more biblical and fruitful means of presenting the gospel. $5

Philosophy and Methodology: Bible Based Hermeneutics
By J. Richard Fugate

A spiral-bound, 134 pages, 8 1/2 X 11 textbook.

Bible-Based Hermeneutics is an introductory resource designed to assist in the analytical, word-by-word interpretation of Scripture. This hermeneutical approach asserts that every word used in every passage of Scripture must be studied. Each word has a distinct characteristic, a specific meaning, and must be defined with proper consideration given for its complete grammar. The objective of this resource is for its reader to learn how to reach accurate conclusions and substantiate them solely from Scripture. In order to comprehend God’s Word in depth, it is important to attempt to discover, as completely as possible, what was in the Author’s mind, that is, to know what the biblical passage means by discovering the specific meaning of each word that is used. Bible-Based Hermeneutics intends to provide the methods to achieve the goal of determining the most precise meaning of God’s Word.    $25
