Fulfilled

Living and Leading with Unusual Wisdom, Peace, and Joy

By: Kirk Byron Jones

Leadership can be mentally, emotionally, and spiritually exhausting. The pace is relentless. The expectations are weighty. The challenges are daunting. But it is possible to live and lead a new way, with that deep sense of contentment that all leaders yearn for. It is possible to be fulfilled, even today. Fulfilled articulates a new approach for the exhausted leader. This Christian theology of leadership is based on three inner capacities, which every leader already possesses but which most of us simply ignore or disregard: the capacity for stillness, awareness, and playfulness. The author examines these capacities and shows the reader how draw upon them in daily life. Vibrant leadership taps into this wellspring of inner capacities, continually available to every leader. It is not the exclusive possession of the gifted, faithful few, but is a grace provided for all. The fulfilled leader lives in wisdom, peace and joy, and is successful in all the most important ways.

Say Yes to Grace

The Facebook Page Reflections

By: Kirk Byron Jones

Get inspired with thought-provoking and heartwarming quotes:A leaf said to me as it fell, Im not falling; Im fl ying! Dare to soar joyfully in this new day, because each day an angel comes to us, arms wide open, bearing Gods infi nite grace. Sometimes we cant see grace because were standing right smack in the middle of it. Take heart; no trial lasts forever, and theres a lesson in every storm. For a long moment, step away from all the you shoulds, and savor you, as you are now. The heaviest thing in the world to carry is a grudge. Give grace a chance.

The Abingdon African American Preaching Library

Volume 1

By: Kirk Byron Jones

God’s people need to hear “a word from the Lord,” to know their God is with them, and to transcend this world and be taken to the very feet of Jesus. The preacher is charged with assisting in this mission. While there may be different theological perspectives and different methods of sermon preparation and delivery, one thing remains constant—the need for quality preaching resources. Drawing upon the rich and powerful tradition of the black church, The Abingdon African American Preaching Library offers a wealth of thoughtful, biblically grounded preaching aids, including special days in the Black Church tradition.

The Jazz of Preaching

How to Preach with Great Freedom and Joy

By: Kirk Byron Jones

What if preachers were as contagiously joyful in their preaching as Louis Armstrong was in his playing and singing? As rich in their sermonic renderings as Sarah Vaughan was in her musical vocals? As honest about heartache as Billie Holiday was every time she sang about the blues of life? As alluringly clear as the angelic voice of Ella Fitzgerald? As tenaciously uninhibited in the action of creating as Duke Ellington? Of course, this is too much to ask of people, even those called by God. However, it is not too much to ask this question: Can preaching be enhanced through the metaphor of jazz? Can an understanding of the inner dynamics of jazz--its particular forms, rules, and styles--inform one's practice of preaching as well? Can jazz's simultaneous structure and spontaneity help preachers better understand their own art? The answer to these questions, says Jones, is an unqualified yes. He explains how one can dramatically improve one's preaching through understanding and applying key elements of the musical art form known as jazz. No musical background is necessary; all examples are well explained and tied in with preaching. The key elements include innovation (what one commentator refers to as "the experimental disposition of jazz"), improvisation, rhythm, call and response, honesty about heartaches, and delight. After discussing the reality and role of each of these elements in jazz, and how they can be important for preaching as well, each chapter concludes with five exercises for applying the jazz element to preaching preparation and performance. Drawing on a deep love of jazz and enlivening the discussion with insights drawn from the realities of African American preaching, Jones introduces readers to rich and rewarding possibilities for constructing and delivering the sermon.

Dying Breeds

By: Kirk Jones

There is a world inside every photograph. This world is static. Every person, frozen in space and time. Every heart, still...except Miles Singleton’s. Miles has lived in photographs since he discovered his ability to enter any picture he touched. He’s felt the warmth of life radiating from the bodies therein, coupled with the stillness of death. He has carved his way to their very cores to confirm they are human, inside and out. The inhabitants are flesh and blood, but they’re only facsimiles of people in the world outside. The violence Miles inflicts upon them has no bearing on their counterparts. But there are rumors of a camera that wreaked havoc on the silent film industry. It is said that anyone and anything the camera captured on film has died or disappeared, except a handful of actresses. Among previous owners, Bridgette “Lola” Louise is one of the last alive. She believes the camera captures a piece of the subject’s soul, and has kept the camera under lock and key since her career’s end. Miles remembers hearing the stories as a child, and believes that if he finds “the camera that killed the industry” of silent film, he’ll be able to see his violence manifest in both worlds.
