The great challenge of spiritual leadership is not simply knowing the right words to say or the right things to do; it is being the right person. When Moses chose those who would assist, there were qualifications. When the early church chose its workers, there were qualifications. When Paul spoke of bishops, elders, and deacons, there were qualifications. In an age of skepticism and mistrust, the world and the church are looking for credible, honest, and godly leaders who possess both skills and integrity. How does one become a "...vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work?" In this powerful new book by Tony Cooke, you will learn how to develop and maintain godly character, the top "ministry killers," and what qualifies and disqualifies someone from Christian service. Whether you are a pastor, a church worker, or a Christian in the marketplace, whether you are seeking personal development or impacting material to equip emerging leaders, this book is packed with clear biblical principles to help you become and remain...Qualified.

Read what Christian Leaders are saying about Tony’s newest book.

Grace, the nature and ability of God at work in our lives, is truly one of the most amazing and life-transforming topics in the Bible. In this new book, Tony takes the reader on a journey of not only understanding but also experiencing the grace of God.

God's grace is seen to be multi-faceted, having application in every area of the believer's life. Explored are saving grace, sanctifying grace, strengthening grace, sharing grace, and serving grace. Grace is never an excuse, but empowerment. Grace is not a spiritual hammock in which we lazily abandon and abdicate spiritual responsibilities; rather, God’s grace is a launching pad that propels us into a life of obedience, consecration, and Christlikeness. Grace is never a cop-out from observing Christian disciplines, but rather, it is a catalyst that powerfully enables the believer be and to do all that God has called us to become and accomplish.

You will not only learn in this book what grace provides, but also what grace produces. As you learn to partake freely and fully of God's grace, you will be able to say with the Apostle Paul, "By the grace of God I am what I am" (1 Corinthians 15:10).

Rediscovering Life After The Loss of a Loved One

Read excerpts from and testimonies about Life After Death.

Is There Life After Death?

You may be considering this book for one of several reasons. Perhaps someone you love has died and you need comfort in this challenging time, wisdom on how to put matters into perspective, and strength to move on with your life. Maybe you are trying to make sense of what happened, and you wonder if anything will ever be normal again. Perhaps you have a friend who has lost a loved one and you feel inadequate to help him or her. Your heart goes out to your friend, but you just don't know what to say. Or maybe you simply desire to be better prepared and equipped for helping others when the inevitable losses of life occur.

This book is not a magic wand that will instantly make the pain vanish. Neither will Life After Death provide you with a quick fix for a friend who is hurting. But these pages contain insights from God's Word and personal reflections from those who have walked the road you are now walking. These insights will be a source of strength, comfort, and valuable information to assist you in your journey. In more than two decades of pastoral ministry, Rev. Tony Cooke has been with many families before, during, and after the death of their loved ones. He has witnessed both the human pain of loss and the divine comfort offered by the Holy Spirit.

In Life After Death, you will find comfort and solace for a grieving heart. You will also discover solutions for surviving the death of a loved one, as Tony Cooke:

• Explains the gradual stages of grief recovery.
• Discusses ways to deal with guilt, shock, and anger.
• Answers tough questions about God's role in and perspective on death.
• Covers the reality of heaven and the certainty of an afterlife.
• Deals with difficult subjects such as miscarriage, suicide, and premature death.
• Addresses the popular phenomenon of spiritualism, or communicating with the dead.
• Offers practical ways to minister to the bereaved.

Though each of us experiences different types of loss in life, the comfort and strength of God are available to us all. As you read through these pages, may God speak to you through His Word and comfort you by His Spirit, enabling you to rediscover life after the loss of a loved one.
