Life Lessons – Learned From Sports

Some of the best life lessons that I have learned come from sports. In looking back over my life, I feel there are a lot of good lessons I can share that you might find helpful. Notice that the title means these are life lessons that have been learned. They are not just to be listed or observed, but to be learned and practiced. Real learning takes place when we hear or see something and then appropriate it to our every day lifestyle.

Timeless Truths – For Turbulent Times

Turbulent times don’t last – Timeless Truths do! Unprecedented situations need precedented solutions. God doesn’t always take you out of a storm, but He can always take the storm out of you. Timeless Truths lead people to do the right thing and make it difficult for them to do the wrong thing. Focusing on the turbulent waves of life will put you underwater — focusing on the God who made the waves can help you walk on water.

Change? Change! How to Creatively Cope with Change

Jesus Christ is changeless. The Church’s message and mission are changeless. However, society is constantly changing which can cause fear, intimidation and frustration. Change is a choice. John Ed’s newest book can help churches turn change into converts. Sports teams can turn change into scores. Families can turn change into better relationships; and organizations can turn change into opportunities.

Transformed Living in Tough Times

Transformed Living in Tough Times is a small book that was written at the request of Abingdon Press recognizing that all of us go through many circumstances over which we have no control, yet God provides all things necessary for us to increase our faith and live effectively in these tough times. The book is based on four Biblical concepts.

When God Redefines the Possible

Most people get stuck in life because our concept of God and the depth of our trust in Him is limited. Our God is a God of possibilities. This little book includes 52 illustrations of how God is constantly redefining the possible. It is challenging and inspiring. It suggests ways in which we can be more open to allowing God to use us to redefine the possible.

Every Member In Ministry

Every Member In Ministry outlines the principles for an understanding that every member of the church is a minister. It is a practical book that indicates how a church can incorporate more people into ministry. While the average church has 20% of the people doing 80% of the work (the 80/20 principle), this book is intended to help reverse that principle. Frazer Memorial United Methodist Church used this book and had in the 90% range of its members involved in specific ministries. It also contains a section on how to deal with inactive members.

Tried & True

Tried & True outlines 12 steps of growth for any local church. It is the model employed by Frazer that grew from 400 members to over 8,800 members. It contains an understanding of the planning process in which every church should be engaged-called the Joel Committee at Frazer. It offers practical instruments and ideas to help facilitate growth.

Transformed Living in Tough Times: Devotions

Transformed Living in Tough Times-Devotions is a book that was prepared for Abingdon Press and contains 60 devotions on how people can live effectively in tough times. It recognizes the reality of tough times. When we develop feelings of helplessness, anger, and depression, but it offers hope as we allow God to lift us to a new level of faith and living.
