Praying the Psalms

To Touch God and Be Touched by Him

By: Elmer Towns

The Psalms are about passion, and you should feel passionately when you read them. The Psalmist poured out his soul to God concerning the things that deeply moved him. As you read the Psalms, you are taking a peak into his heart. As you do you will cry when he weeps, shout when he rejoices, burn when he gets angry and fall on your face when he worships God. Praying the Psalms is a wonderful way to meet God every day in your private devotions. You cannot get closer to God than when you pray the Scriptures, since the book of Psalms reflects the heart of God. Therefore, you will get close to His heart when you pray the Psalms. —DR. BILL BRIGHT Praying the Psalms carefully shapes the Psalms into personal prayers enabling you to identify with the Psalmist as he prayed. Dr. Towns delicately presents the Psalms as a living language that will move you from your feet to your knees.

God Laughs & 42 More Surprising Facts About God That Will Change Your Life

By: Elmer L. Towns,Charles Billingsley

Did you know that God sings? There are many things God does that you may not have thought about ever before--and the more we know, the better we can respond to Him. God sees. God winks. God hears. He cries, He waits, and He runs. He is jealous and gets angry. He smiles, frowns, and laughs! Reflecting on the attributes and activities of God is the best way to become like Him. In God Laughs, Elmer Towns and Charles Billingsley invite the reader to deeply consider God's character and qualities. They contend that it's only as we get to know Him that we can become more like Him, and it's only when we glimpse God for who He is that we can worship Him in Spirit and in truth. Readers are challenged to dig deeply into Scripture, where God reveals that He has a heart . . . and a nose . . . and that He whistles!

Perimeters of Light

Biblical Boundaries for the Emerging Church

By: Elmer L. Towns,Ed Stetzer

How far do we go to connect with our culture? Can we "sell" the Gospel like the world sells soft drinks? Where are the boundaries? The church today is walking a tightrope. On the one hand, we need to proclaim, and, perhaps more importantly, live the Gospel in such a way that it connects with both seekers and younger people looking for community and authenticity. Yet at what point does this fall into "feel good" ministry at the expense of biblical truth? These are issues that God's people are now beginning to wrestle with. Elmer Towns and Edward Stetzer provide an intergenerational perspective that sheds biblical light on some tough challenges facing the church.

The Everychurch Guide to Growth

How Any Plateaued Church Can Grow

By: Elmer L. Towns,C. Peter Wagner,Thom S. Rainer

A growing church is a living church, but much of the attention in church growth today is focused on making big churches bigger. This encouraging new book shows members of small and medium-sized congregations how to revive and expand their ministries as well. Churches of every size tend to plateau in attendance and never break free of their self-imposed limitations or 'growth barriers'. This book gives detailed, practical instructions for breaking through those barriers to new levels of impact and service in the community. The EveryChurch Guide to Growth rallies church leaders and members to develop plans for strength and solid growth in the future.

What's Right with the Church

What's Right with the Church

A Manifesto of Hope

By: Elmer L. Towns

The early believers of Jesus Christ knew that they were not just members of an organization, nor were they just an extension of Old Testament Judaism. They knew that they were followers of the living Lord Jesus Christ. They were members of a thing called the church. Through the centuries, the church has been the most powerful transforming force in history. Yet in America many observe it as anemic and powerless. Author Elmer Towns contends that there is good news; there are many things that are still right with the church. What Is Right with the Church affirms the positive things that are present in the church today and what will carry it forward as a transforming force. This book is not a defense of the traditional church, nor does it run to embrace all new forms of worship. Rather, this book examines the biblical nature of church, allowing the best to come forth. It is not a book about old churches, new churches, or home churches. It is a book about what is right about every true church, no matter the expression, history, or culture. A growing number of people are not aware of the enduring strengths of the church. The author contends that if believers in Christ are to effectively move forward with healthy communities and a vibrant faith in this new century, they must be established on foundational, biblical truths and core values. And when this happens, the church thrives as a transforming force.

Evaluating the Church Growth Movement

5 Views

By: Elmer L. Towns

Gaining form and momentum over the second half of the 20th century, the Church Growth movement has become an enormous shaping force on the Western church today. You may love it, you may hate it, but you can't deny its impact. But what exactly is Church Growth? In what ways has the movement actually brought growth to the church, and how effective has it been in doing so? What are its strengths and weaknesses? This timely book addresses such questions. After providing a richly informative history and overview, it explores---in a first-ever roundtable of their leading voices---five main perspectives, both pro and con, on the classic Church Growth movement: * Effective Evangelism View (Elmer Towns) * Gospel in Our Culture View (Craig Van Gelder) * Centrist View (Charles Van Engen) * Reformist View (Gailyn Van Rheenan) * Renewal View (Howard Snyder) As in other Counterpoints books, each view is first presented by its proponent, then critiqued by his co-contributors. The book concludes with reflections by three seasoned pastors who have grappled with the practical implications of Church Growth. The interactive and fair-minded nature of the Counterpoints format allows the reader to consider the strengths and weaknesses of each view and draw informed, personal conclusions. The Counterpoints series provides a forum for comparison and critique of different views on issues important to Christians. Counterpoints books address two categories: Church Life and Exploring Theology. Complete your library with other books in the Counterpoints series.

The Ten Most Influential Churches of the Past Century

And How They Impact You Today

By: Elmer Towns

Your Church Can Influence the World History has shown that great leaders have the ability to reach beyond the walls of their churches to influence cultures for Christ. We’ve seen it in the Pentecostal/Charismatic movement, in the explosive growth of house churches in Communist China, in the expansion of the Southern Baptist Convention, and in the worldwide rise of praise and worship music led by Hillsong Church, among other phenomena. In The Ten Most Influential Churches of the Past Century, Dr. Elmer Towns presents evidence of the powerful influence of these churches and how their innovative strategies and faith accomplish these goals. Then he tells how you can apply these principles to your church. You will learn how some of the most influential leaders in Church history became conduits for your future ministry and how your church can experience exponential growth. Most importantly, you will see that the great results in these ten churches grow out of the power of the Word of God, the ministry of many dedicated lay workers, the faith-producing ministry of great leaders—all under the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

Planting Reproducing Churches

By: Elmer Towns

The church was meant to multiply! For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them (Matt. 18:20). Are you interested in planting a church that has exponential impact? If so, you will be partnering with God to build something that is alive, vital, and majestic. There is a parallel between planting a church and planting a seed in the ground. In Planting Reproducing Churches, Dr. Elmer Towns explains Gods strategy of multiplication as it pertains to planting local church communities. By understanding that every living organism can reproduce a multitude of itself from just one seed, you will see how one church can reproduce itself into an established denomination, large network, or thriving multi-site campus, all carrying the unique DNA of that local body. Read this book and learn the answers to practical questions such as: Who can plant a church? Should you start a church in your hometown? What type of authority should be followed in a church plant? Why is the vision statement essential? How do you choose a name for the church? How do you raise funds for a church plant? Get ready to receive strategies on how to plant life-giving, flourishing, reproducing churches that have the potential to complete the Great Commission in our lifetime!

When God is Silent

By: Elmer Towns

Prolific author, college and seminary professor, and co-founder of Liberty University, Elmer Towns has written a second Teaching Series consisting of six profound books designed to stir your spirit and increase your biblical knowledge: Grandparents in the Bible; The Ten Commandments According to Jesus; 7 Indispensable Words for Effective Prayer; Habits of the Heart; When God Is Silent; What Is Right? Intriguing titles with even more intriguing content. When God Is Silent: How to Hear God When He Seems Far Away answers the questions many Christians ponder during their spiritual journey. Some of the questions asked and answered include: If God were to speak to us today, what would He say? Would He tell us what to believe? Would He warn us of danger? Why can't I see miracles? Why is God silent when we call for help? Eight chapters deep dive into the most perplexing questions, and after years of personal study and experience, author Elmer L. Towns reveals what he has learned. Eight lessons follow, designed to solidify the truths found in God's Word through the Holy Spirit. You can learn to listen through the sounds of silence and tune in to the voice of God ringing loudly in the world He created, the Word He composed, and the Word incarnate.

Fasting for Financial Breakthrough

Fasting for Financial Breakthrough

By: Elmer L. Towns

Shed a spiritual light on some of the biggest problems facing people today: the need to put the role of money in a proper perspective and to solve financial problems. Elmer Towns states at the outset that this is not the primary purpose of fasting and prayer. Instead, it is all about knowing God. It is not about withdrawing prayer on an as-needed basis from some spiritual ATM kiosk. It is about meditation, studying the Scriptures, and communing with God. When we fast and pray in faith, asking for God's help and provision, He begins to teach us how to become good stewards of what He has provided. Chapter topics include "Fasting to Learn Stewardship," "Why We Have Money Problems," and "A Faith Approach to Fasting for Money." Once we understand why we struggle with money problems, we can do something about it with this practical step-by-step guide.

Revival Igniters

Emphasizing the Fire of Revival

By: Elmer Towns

Elmer L. Towns is one of the most God-gifted storytellers of our time. He begins Revival Igniters with the riveting testimony of his born-again experience. As only he can tell in vivid detail, the reader is there with him in a half-built church with a few others gathered on the floor behind the pulpit. And again in a garage apartment filled with hungry-for-more believers. And finally in his bedroom where "the horrors of hell gripped me, as though I were already in flames." His passion continues throughout the book that is a compilation of exciting, personal God-moment experiences and historical revival events that shook the world. From James McGready in 1800 to William Seymour in 1906 and more recently the Jesus People revolution, Billy Graham, and Jerry Falwell, the significance of revivals in the United States and worldwide is presented in such splendid grandeur that only the Holy Spirit can be given credit for the truth shared. An added beauty of Revival Igniters is the Devotions portion of the book, which allows readers to become intimately involved in the work God is doing on earth through believers who want to ignite the world around them. For 21 days, readers can jump into a refreshing, fire-infused time with the Lord through Scripture, commentary, and prayers.
