The story of how Lewis and Clark explored America is almost hard to believe. Their journey through the rugged, undiscovered American frontier seems more like a made-up big screen drama, than a true story based on detailed journal entries. But thanks to the attention paid to every part of the trip, we have an amazing record of their adventurous journey. This book is not, however, primarily concerned with the history of the trip. In fact, while every effort has been made to remain historically accurate, the focus of this book is on the spiritual truths that emerge from the pages of the journals of Lewis and Clark. It's not that Lewis and Clark were on this spiritual journey, but the parallels between their travels and the travels of all who seek after God are surprisingly similar. Tim Walter has done a masterful job of taking the spirit of each journal entry used, to point the reader to a larger adventure -- the one that each of us must consider as we engage the reality of God. As you read "Proceed On", you will see why Tim's imagination was captured by The Corps of Discovery, even as a young boy. Even more, you will understand Tim's true passion in life: Pointing people back to Jesus.

Mel Walker (veteran youth ministry specialist and author) believes that one of the leading reasons so many high school graduates are walking away from active involvement in church is because traditional youth ministry has isolated teenagers from other generations. He is convinced that it is essential for churches to proactively connect the generations -- and he has written this book to explain how to effectively and practically make those connections. This is a must-read book for pastors, youth pastors, youth workers, parents, and others interested in a long-term view of helping teenagers grow up and go on for God. Inter-Generational Youth Ministry is based on Biblical principles and contains a wealth of research and useful steps for churches anywhere. Readers will clearly see Mel's balanced approach to church ministry -- strategic youth ministry that successfully connects the generations in the church.

Few people wish to live an unremarkable life. Some have settled for unremarkable living due to a variety of circumstances and choices, but few intentionally set out for a journey that isn't memorable. If your intended journey is headed nowhere and you are satisfied with that destination, Project Nehemiah is not for you. However, if you believe God has designed you for something more, then you must pick up a copy of this book. This isn't a theological examination of a Biblical text, but rather, a careful study of the principles that guided one man's project from inception to rapid completion. Nehemiah's story not only teaches us about God's power to work through His children, it also teaches us some principles, that, when applied, can help anyone achieve ginormous Kingdom dreams for God's glory. Project Nehemiah is an easy read. It's stories are thoughtful and humorous, and the true-life events of modern-day Nehemiahs is inspirational. The practical questions at the end of each chapter will help you map out your own plan for fulfilling God-sized dreams in your life. Project Nehemiah is not a how-to guide for managing projects; however, it is a how-to guide for managing the big dreams God has given each of us. Whether you're building walls in Jerusalem (like Nehemiah), helping orphans in Ethiopia (like Cherrie, whose story is told in the book) or feeding the homeless in your community (like my 7 year old son a few years ago), Project Nehemiah will offer you counsel and direction for seeing your work completed. If you have ever thought to yourself, "Man, I would love to do [X] for God..." but you weren't sure where to start, pick up a copy of this book. If you have ever felt like your life has hit a plateau and you need a kick in the britches, pick up a copy of this book. If you have ever felt like God has put something remarkable in your life and you know it's time to move, pick up this book. It's time to take your God-designed life to next level. By the grace of God, let Project Nehemiah help you get there.

Dream House takes its readers on a room-to-room tour beginning in the kitchen and finishing in the garage. Each room gives a description of the problem or need this room represents, followed by a solution based upon biblical principles. Some of the issues we deal with are: character development, purpose in parenting, honor becoming a habit, the family calendar, vital information our children need, discipline, etc. At the end of each chapter, there are questions for individuals or small groups to answer and discuss. Many parents begin raising their children without the necessary blueprints or tools to build a healthy and happy home. As a result, their home is unstable and unhealthy, resulting in frustration and despair. The purpose of this book is to provide blueprints of biblical truths and practical insights that will help parents construct a Dream House of their own. Those who read Dream House, will: *Understand the importance of modeling character, godly passion, and a healthy marriage to their children. *Be able to pass on biblical principals that will position their children to succeed in life. *Learn effective ways to communicate love, acceptance, and hope to their children, with practical examples that are parent friendly. Dream House will also describe what a healthy home looks like, provide specific principles that will enable parents to succeed, as well as encourage parents through the building process of their Dream House.

Welcome to Project Joseph. This book is about one young man who navigates his pain for over 13 years. The principles that governed his choices and ultimately led to his triumph, serve as a road map for you and me to navigate our own pain. Project Joseph teaches us that pain isn't just to be ignored or endured, but it can be embraced and overcome as we live out our God-designed purpose. Project Joseph is part of the Life Improvement Series, from Overboard Ministries, aimed at helping people improve life, one project at a time.

Disappointment is something everyone has faced: the loss of a job. An in ability to become pregnant. The sudden death of a friend or family member. A failed test. A broken promise. The game-winning shot that doesn't go in. Three words from the doctor: "You've got cancer." While all of us have faced it, not all of us have learned to manage the reality of disappointment in our lives. Kristi Walker has taken on this task, and in this book she is presenting a biblical perspective on a topic with which everyone is familiar. And while this book was written with women in mind, men will do well to put into practice the principles Kristi writes about. Kristi does a great job of combining powerful personal stories with rich Scriptural content, making "Disappointment" an excellent resource for anyone going through tough times. There is only one person that will never disappoint us, and Kristi does a fantastic job of pointing the reader back to Him, with truth wrapped in understanding.
