Many families in today's churches have a genuine desire to raise good and godly children, yet often become discouraged when simply taking their children to church regularly doesn't seem to produce children who walk humbly with the Lord. According to recent statistics, raising our children according to the current prescribed standards can often result in watching them wander from the truth as they reach early adulthood. Yet it doesn't have to be this way. There is hope. Within the pages of Home Reformation, you will find practical steps in helping to make your home a place of Christ-centered discipleship. Author Adam Burrell draws from seventeen years of involvement in family ministry (as well as personal experiences from raising seven children) as he seeks to equip parents to turn their homes into training grounds for Christ-like development. As you read, you will find simple steps that can be easily assimilated into your daily lives to help you train and disciple your families in godliness and create a more biblical home for our families. Adam Burrell is a husband, father, and one of the pastors who serves at Pray's Mill Baptist Church in Douglasville, Georgia. He is a graduate of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He and his wife have been married since 2008 and have been blessed with a quiver full of children.

Changing The Way We Do Church is a book inspired by the recent decline and exodus which is taking place in the church. For whatever reason people do not attend church the way they use to. This has caused many challenges within the church, and some congregations are struggling to survive. There are many personal reasons why people do not attend church, but some of it has to do with the church itself. Worship is stale or failing to meet the people's spiritual needs. However, the tragedy is that many churches have not realized this drastic change, or they are ignoring what's taking place. Another issue is that everything is changing, but many churches are staying the same. If some churches do not wake up and make some necessary changes, they will continue to lose members and be forced to close its doors. Therefore, this book is a practical guide that will assist churches in why and how they should implement change so that the church can continue to be a fruitful congregation.
