This book highlights a crisis of leadership within the modern church; not an absence of leadership, but a proliferation of the wrong kind of leadership. After 31 years in full-time Christian ministry, Kevin Simington believes it is time to sound the warning bell. The modern church has departed from the collaborative leadership principles of the New Testament and has adopted a secular business model that is undermining the very essence of what it means to be God's people. This book points the way back to being the mutually accountable body of Christ that God intends his church to be. This is a little book with BIG ideas. It calls the church to radically re-think the roles of clergy and laity and return to the biblical principles laid down by the New Testament church. It calls for a culture shift that will not be easy. Are you ready to be challenged?

"No More Monkey Business" is a stunning, up-to-date exposé of a theory that is in deep crisis. It presents a comprehensive examination of the overwhelming scientific evidence that now directly contradicts the theory of evolution, and documents the complete abandonment of the theory by a growing number of the world's leading scientists. Aimed at the intelligent layperson, written with wit, and brimming with fascinating scientific evidence, this book highlights the huge problems now facing the naively simplistic theory proposed more than a century ago. The evidence presented in this book includes the latest fascinating findings in the fields of genetics, physics, microbiology, cosmology, paleontology and geology. Concepts examined include the irreducible complexity of microbiological life and DNA, the impossibility of cumulative positive genetic mutations creating new genetic information and new species, and the now widely acknowledged complete failure of the fossil record to provide proof of gradual evolution. These and many other findings present overwhelming scientific evidence that refutes the concept of gradual evolution by chance processes and points to a personal, all-powerful, transcendent God as the creator of life.There may be some readers who pick up this book out of curiosity, but who do not believe that the creation / evolution debate is of great consequence. However, the theory of evolution has been a significant factor in the decline in belief in God over recent decades. The philosophy of secular humanism that now pervades the developed world is strongly rooted in the alternate story of origins that evolution provides. It is a story of a purely mechanistic universe, without purpose or meaning. It is a story of a universe without either intentional causality or ultimate accountability. In the evolutionary universe, humans are no more than highly evolved animals who arose from nothing, who may live as they wish, and will return to oblivion when they die. In this sense, the story of evolution is the direct antithesis of the story of the Bible. It is a very important issue.Dr. David Berlinski, Professor of Mathematics and Molecular Biology at Columbia University, stated: "Darwin's theory of evolution is the last of the great nineteenth-century mystery religions. As we speak, it is now following Freudians and Marxism into the nether regions, and I'm quite sure that Freud, Marx and Darwin are commiserating one with the other in the dark dungeon where discarded gods gather." (H.S. Lipson, Physicist Looks at Evolution, Physics Bulletin 31, 1980, p. 138)
