Practical Ministry, a new book by Dr. Tom Cannon, offers fresh insights, and practical, hands-on help for training leaders. Jesus made it perfectly clear – the servant of God has been called to live by different rules than the children of the world. That’s why some have deemed the church, ‘the upside-down kingdom.’ Jesus said, “Whosoever would be first among you, shall be servant of all.”

Servanthood is not a dirty word. Rather, in it is reflected the heart of God, and the mission of heaven. To serve others, is to serve God. To give up the best part of yourself, for the betterment of your neighbor, is truly to have Christ revealed through you.

One of the most potent, and life-changing images of Christ, in the entire Bible, is a picture of Jesus, with towel wrapped around his waste, washing the feet of his disciples.

Contrast that with the attitude of James and John’s mother, concerning the proper placement of her sons, “Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Jesus with her sons. She bowed down in front of him to ask him for a favor.” He asked her, “What do you want?” She said to him, “Promise that these two sons of mine will sit, one at your right and one at your left, in your kingdom.”

Nobody likes that kind of attitude in fellow laborers, do they? Somehow, it grates us. The reason it irritates us so badly, is because it is so diametrically opposite to the role Jesus models for us.

In these verses, we find Jesus’ own attitude toward Servanthood revealed. Not only does He appreciate hard working people, who are not afraid to get a little dirty, but the truth of the matter is, that our Lord – the God of heaven – actually embraces Servanthood in a real and personal way: so much so, in fact, that He forever links Himself, and His purpose for coming to earth, with it.

In all we do, as servant-leaders for Christ, we are called to serve well. Practical Ministry will give you a clear, easy-to-follow roadmap for successful leadership.

The much anticipated release of Tom’s new book, Rescuing Peter, is here! Rescuing Peter is now available at: Amazon.com, Tom Cannon.org, and DestinyMissions.net.

We believe Dr. Tom’s new book, Rescuing Peter, not only addresses many of the hot topics facing people today, but provides them with desperately needed solutions to their struggles. Rescuing Peter has been designed to help people triumph over the disappointments and personal failures they often encounter in their own lives.

Rescuing Peter is a must read, for everyone who has struggled to live an overcoming, abundant life in Christ. Not only does Dr. Tom identify the root cause of many spiritual battles, but with clear, biblical insights, he helps readers find the pathway to new life in Christ.

Publisher’s Information:

“In the Apostle Peter, we find ourselves revealed … and in his failure, we discover how badly we need rescuing, too. If ever a man need rescuing, it was Peter. No other disciple exhibited more spiritual weakness, or was prone to stumble over his own ‘flesh’ more often than Peter. But surprisingly, after the Day of Pentecost, Peter became an entirely different man. Find out how Peter’s sudden, and shocking turnaround can lead to victory in your life today.

People still love to criticize, censure and condemn the man, though he lived so long ago. Ironically, when applying the same standard to their own lives, the outcome is much different, though their shortcomings are much the same.
