I have to say I'm pretty excited about the upcoming release of my book: Discipleship with James.  I've been working on this for at least 15 years and have finally gotten it all pulled together.  I am especially thankful to those who helped in the process.  In the early years it was Jennifer Epperhart and Lyndene Olson.  Here at the end is was Lynette Fagler and Renee Handy.  What a blessing each one has been

It never ceases to amaze me how interrelated the truths of scripture are with the practices of good leadership.  This is especially apparent in the book of James.  His practical approach to faith as it impacts the realities of every day living is something we need to be reminded of often. 

I have used the term "redemptive relationships" to describe this real-life faith.  I like the term because it focuses on the essence of life - relationships - and seeks to bring redemption into each relationship as we go throughout our day. 

If you would like to order a copy of this book, it will be available on Amazon sometime in July 2011.  The publisher, Tools to Lead, is also offering a pre-release price for orders received before July 15, 2011.
