These leaders help people understand their spiritual gifts and serve according to those gifts. Effective Bible teachers love their groups, but also model by example. They lead people to love and to lay down their lives in service to others. Gain insight into how you can become an effective Bible teacher and how you can assist others in their spiritual walk.

Each Sunday morning, Christians are asked to choose between their way and God’s way. They are asked to choose between glorifying God and enjoying their own life.

Following God is an unpredictable adventure, full of twists and turns and surprises. When looking at the lives of people who followed God, we find unpredictability, frustration, dead-ends, delays, and setbacks. However, we also find joy and myriad other emotional responses to circumstance.

Josh Hunt invites the reader to study the lives of one who followed God, and to see real life. This short book is a study of the life of Abraham. In around a hundred short readings, the author will explore the twists and turns of one who followed God and learned lessons along the way.

Teach Like Jesus

• Publisher: Josh Hunt
• Publication Date: 2012
• Pages: 172

This study is an examination of how Jesus taught and why story is such an effective method of teaching. Josh Hunt explains that Jesus wasn’t always meek and mild, and that those who wish to teach like Jesus should raise their voices from time to time. However, Hunt also explains that Jesus’ teaching was not always clear, and he often taught in apparent contradiction.

Jesus’ teaching was shocking to his original audience. Implications of this are important to modern teachers and preachers. This book is born out of a study of the life of Christ taken from the gospels in the original Greek. Hunt includes background information from respected commentaries as well as recent neuroscience on how humans learn. According to the author, this book has one simple goal: teach like Jesus.

If you want to be the best teacher you can possibly be, Teach Like Jesus. That is not only a wonderful title for a book on how to teach, that is the secret to becoming the greatest teacher you can become. Anyone who wants to have a greater ministry in teaching, should read this book.

You Can Double Your Church in Five Years or Less

• Author: Josh Hunt
• Publisher: Josh Hunt

• Pages: 254

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6

Josh Hunt believes that churches can double in five years or less by equipping Sunday School teachers to double their classes, or home group leaders to double every two years or less. In this volume, Hunt explains that disciples are made in small groups. Jesus ministered this way and we must follow his model. He explains this growth is important because most of what it means to be a church happens in small groups. Most of the caring, loving, teaching, growth, admonition, and encouragement that goes on in the body of Christ happens in the context of small groups. Doubling a church every five years is not easy, but it is doable.
