New Releases by Andy Stanley

These companion books provide relevant resources for students and youth ministers to deal with Max Q--the maximum pressure that is a part of the lives of today''s students.

This life-changing book helps students learn how to influence their peers—both saved and unsaved—without being negatively influenced. Maximum Quotient: It is the point in time when a rocket''s speed is the highest and air pressure is at its extreme. It is what young Christians feel during their teenage years. Pulling from many years of successful youth ministry, Stanley and Hall introduce youth leaders to a new realm of youth ministry through this dynamic new plan. Youth leaders will learn about: A Ministry of Influence, Jesus & Influence, Maximum Dynamic Pressure, Setting Standards, Establishing Priorities, Maintaining Accountability, Unconditional Acceptance, Sustaining Influence, Using Leverage, and Partnering with Parents.

This practical and inspirational book explores the principle of sowing and reaping and moves the reader beyond fear and guilt about giving and into confidence, security, and excitement.

Let''s face it. You just can''t fit everything in. Decide what commitments you can cheat on - and how to truly please God with your twenty-four hours.

Andy Stanley and Ed Young--two of America''s most innovative and effective church leaders--deliver twenty-four creative ministry tools that you can adapt and use to help your own church be all God intends it to be.

With warm, down-to-earth practicality, the author explores the ordinary life of Nehemiah and his God-given vision for accomplishing the extraordinary. He shows how the life of this great ancient visionary, determined to rebuild the ruined walls of Jerusalem, reveals principles that can prepare readers to find and follow God''s multifaceted vision for their own lives.

Practical "you-can-do-it" steps help teens live out and grow in their faith. Stanley draws from his years of successful youth ministry to create a work that will have eternal impact.

Your character is who you truly are. It will impact how much you accomplish in this life. It will make or break every one of your relationships. It is more far-reaching than your talent, your education, your background, or your network of friends. In a time of failing vision and decaying values, the will to do what is right, as God defines right, regardless of personal cost is the true mark of a man or woman of character.
