A Sheep's Perspective
by Dr. Sam Davis Our lives
and our security depend upon knowing the Lord as our Shepherd; but
strangely enough, there is much confusion as to who He is. If one
looks closely, there are believers who have yet to make the connection
between the sheep-Shepherd relationship. We can learn a lot from
sheep. Psalm 23 is the testimony of one sheep who knows something
about life’s journey including its ups and downs, trials and
tribulations, mountains and valleys. Witness this journey from a
sheep’s perspective.
 Building Capacity to Build The Kingdom
(Shaping the Church Through Christian Education)
by Dr. Sam Davis and Min. Valerie L. Jackson
Textbook ISBN#: 0-9716522-4-4
Workbook ISBN #: 0-9716522-5-2
In Genesis 1:26-28, upon the completion of the heavens, the earth, humanity and the fullness thereof, God’s first order of business was to educate. God originated Christian education. So, why don’t more churches have it? Christian education lays the foundation for healthy interpersonal relationships with God and people. This book is not about organizing a Sunday School and Bible Study. Christian education is more holistic than that. Contrary to popular opinion, Christian education is not a concept. It is not just about methods or models. It is about people. People are primary. Methods and models are secondary. Building capacity to build the Kingdom refers to constructing the infrastructure that will provide the leadership for maturing the church body . . . to not only ensure that spiritual resources are present, but physical and human resources come together so that all needs are being met. This is your guide book to developing a healthy Christian education ministry that will go beyond the boundaries of regular church school as we know it.

These questions and many others are answered in

 Strategies to Develop Kingdom Citizens
Textbook ISBN#: 0-9716522-2-8
Workbook ISBN#: 0-9716522-3-6
How does one qualify to be a Kingdom citizen? We get so excited about grace, that most of us do not understand the privileges of Kingdom citizenship. If you are saved, you must live on earth before going to Heaven; but of course, there are some strategies you need along the way. What are the strategies to develop as a Kingdom citizen? That's what this book is about; to help those who are saved advance from deliverance to development. So often we tell people what they need to do, but do not tell them how to do. It is good to sing about the "after whiles" and "by and by's;" but what do you do as you live in the here and now? Believe it or not, there must be a strategic plan to accomplish this.
