One to One Bible Reading (2011) David Helm

ISBN 9781921441981

“David Helm is deeply committed to the public exposition of God’s word and the training of preachers. Yet in this guide he advocates a deep-rooted culture of one-to-one bible reading in our churches. Surely the two go hand in hand, but many Christians don’t know where to start in this personal Bible reading ministry. This guide provides the inspiration for this desperately needed ministry revolution and the growth of the gospel vine into every corner of our communities.” - Colin Marshall

One Forever: The Transforming Power of Being in Christ (2012) Rory Shiner

ISBN 9781922206022

When the New Testament describes what it means to be a Christian, it uses a phrase that is everywhere in Paul’s letters but almost nowhere in our churches. Overwhelmingly, when the Bible wants to describe being a Christian, it says that we are in Christ. 

But what does it mean to be in Christ? And how does this important biblical idea help us understand what God has done for us through Jesus, and what it means to be a Christian? This short book by Rory Shiner sparkles withe clarity, wit and biblical wisdom on this vital and much-neglected topic. 

The Trellis and the Vine: The Ministry Mind-Shift That Changes Everything (2009) Colin Marshall and Tony Payne

ISBN 9781581344301

“What Col and Tony have described here is exactly what I’ve been trying to do in my own life and in our congregation for years. According to this book, Christians are to be disciple-making disciples and pastors are to be trainers. Superb! This is the best book I’ve read on the nature of church ministry.” - Mark Dever, Senior Pastor, Capital Hill Baptist Church, Washington DC

Growth Groups: A Training Course in How to Lead Small Groups (1995) Colin Marshall

ISBN 9781875245406

Small groups for Bible study and prayer are now a well-established part of most Christian churches. And these groups tend to succeed or fail largely on the quality of their leadership. 

In churches across Australia and the UK, Growth Groups has become the standard leadership training course to meet this need. By using Growth Groups, churches have found that their small groups are better focused on Christian growth - both in maturity and in gospel outreach.
