Blue Collar Jesus: How Christianity supports workers' rights offers the most thorough analysis to date of workers rights from a religious perspective. The book reveals biblical and ethical principles for justice in the work place, and explores the vast and diverse tradition of labor activism among the major Christian factions. From the Roman Catholic Church to the Southern Baptists Convention, Cushman analyzes the history and beliefs that support labor unions. With rich historical and theological insights, Cushman argues persuasively that labor unions are legitimate instruments of God's will for creating a just society. Never before published interviews and archival information makes Blue Collar Jesus a fascinating study of the relationship between labor and religion.

To be faithful to the gospel, all ministry must be indigenous; it must participate in the distinctive practices and perspectives of the people among whom ministry is taking place. Because our society tends to ignore or deny the reality of class divisions and prejudice, too many congregational leaders know too little about the world of working class whites. Continuing his groundbreaking work on class and American religion, Sample opens up the lives and lifestyles of working class whites in order to engage with them in authentic and transformational ministry.From the Circuit Rider review: "Tex Sample has written one of the most fun books to read on ministry that you will ever come across. Weaving philosophy, theology, country western lyrics, and stories throughout the book Sample at once delights and provokes us to think about the way in which we live out church in this day and age."

Blue Collar Jesus is a daily devotional written by Pastor Jay Loucks. Jay serves as a local pastor for a small rural United Methodist congregation in Northwest Indiana. He has had the honor of shepherding a flock just one mile south of the farm he grew up on and just a half mile north of where he lives with his wife Lynn. Together they have three grown children, Megan and Mara and R.J. For the past 20 years Jay has balanced the responsibility of pastoring a growing church and taking classes at Bethel College and the Appalachian Local Pastor's School in Corbin, Kentucky, while also working his day job as a plumbing and heating contractor. His unique blue-collar approach to the study and application of Scripture has enabled him to make a special connection with folks like him who get up every morning and go to work and do their job as they raise their children and find the time to be alone with Jesus. Find Jay on the website for his church, Lambs Chapel United Methodist Church, at www.lambschapel.org. And you can email him at jaylouckslambschapel@gmail.com. Or give him a call at (219) 380-7477.

This book is written from a personal coming of age perspective. It shares the many years and stages of a non-believer and the radical transformation to a believer. Though many of the stories can be quite embarrassing for the author at times, he feels it is imperative to share his memories, leaving nothing out, with a no holds barred approach revealing a lifestyle worth of much shame. The transformation is the key to the story, as he is led by the Holy Spirit. As his story develops, life then takes on new meaning and he admires how God works His providence, trusting in His will to be done. Lives can change, as you will see, but that does not mean there wont be opposition. As you will come to learn through Blue Collar Believer, sometimes the biggest obstacles come with the ones you love the most. It takes the reality of life, which is death, and this is the only tool to give the afterlife serious thought. Though we can appeal to the intellect, it is up to the Holy Spirt to convict the heart. As an ambassadors for Christ, we must always be ready for opportunities to defend the gospel, showing love and compassion. We live in a lost and dying world, and if only it were easy to share the Gospel and get a positive response 100% of the time, but as you will see, this just not is the case. Jesus said, He who has ears, let him hear. Unfortunately most ears who hear are deaf, but that does not mean we give up. Persistence and love for the lost can do wonders and all things are possible with God. Journey with Blue Collar Believer, from beginning to end and be guided on a tour with a testimony that will not soon be forgotten. It is an emotional roller coaster, filled with many ups and downs. You will laugh, you will cry, but more importantly, it will get you to think. If you have to see it to believe it, get ready to experience it for yourself through the words of a Blue Collar Believer.

In Constructing Blue-Collar Leaders in a White-Collar World . . . "Dr. LaMar Herndon considers a group of leaders often overlooked and occasionally denigrated-the-bivocational pastor. Constructing Blue Collar Leaders in a White Collar World integrates important theoretical leadership concepts with spiritual and practical realities. Dr. Herndon explores important topics such as trends and issues facing the global church and its leaders, leadership models, values and ethics, character and integrity, cultural effects, creativity and innovation, reverse mentoring, and strategic planning. This book is a profoundly honest hands-on guide to what constitutes a true leader serving as a bivocational minister." -Dr. Gary Oster Regent University School of Business & Leadership, Virginia Beach, VA "Down through my thirty plus years of education, ministry, and leadership I have read many books on the subject of leadership. Some have challenged me and inspired me, but none have done so at the level of Constructing Blue Collar Leaders in a White Collar World. As a State Minister, I work with many bivocational and blue collar Pastors. I will be using Dr. Herndon's book as a primary resource to assist me in working with those Pastors in challenging and inspiring them in their leadership development." -Dr. Darryl Allen State Minister KY Church of God Ministries, Adjunct Professor at Nazarene Bible College & Mid-America Christian University "It [Constructing Blue-Collar Leaders in a White-Collar World] is an excellent presentation of leadership issues every pastor needs to understand to some degree. The chapter on "Values and Ethics" is worth the price of the book. Thanks for sharing the results of your many hours of study and hard work." -Ray Gilder National Coordinator Bivocational and Small Church Leadership Network, Bivocational Small Church Ministries Specialist Tennessee Baptist Convention "Dr. LaMar Herndon presents leadership from a very down to earth and practical approach. This book seeks to help the bivocational church leader be effective while balancing these two worlds. I believe this book needs to be in every pastor, minister, and leaders library; whether bivocational or not." -Rev. Jewel D. Williams, M.R.E.

Most of us know what we believe as Catholics, but often we're unclear on why we believe it. At a time when vast numbers of Catholics are slipping away from the Faith, God has tasked you and countless other Catholics with understanding it so you will be prepared to defend it. With an easygoing and inviting style, EWTN's John Martignoni doesn't simply introduce you to the major doctrines of the Catholic Faith; he explains why they are true and shows you how to explain them effectively to Protestants and "cafeteria Catholics" alike in ways that will draw them into those truths. Far from a complex survey of obscure theological points, this lively book employs clear, simple language that not only demonstrates the fundamental fact that the Bible is a Catholic book, but also teaches Catholics how to "talk Bible" to non-Catholics. When you are done with this book, you will know the biblical basis for the Church's teachings on the sacraments, Purgatory, Mary, the papacy, and why salvation requires faith and works. You'll also be versed in the strategies for effectively challenging others to examine their beliefs in light of the overwhelming scriptural evidence for Catholicism. Blue Collar Apologetics will also teach you: - How to go on the offensive without being offensive - The rules of engagement for discussing the faith with others - Four techniques that will allow you to talk to anyone about your faith - An easy tactic anyone can use for engaging non-Catholics - How to explain the Marian dogmas using the Bible and common sense - The two key "pillars of Protestantism" -- and how to respond to each - How to counter the ingrained Protestant maxim "Once saved, always saved" - The basics of Eastern Orthodoxy, which every Catholic needs to master Effective, common sense tactics for defending the Faith against atheist attacks

David Crisp uses humor and everyday life experiences to effectively communicate timeless scriptural truths that challenge and inspire both the believer and the seeker. Drawing from time he spent growing up on a farm in western Kansas, a season as a Deputy Sheriff, 15 years serving as the pastor of a growing suburban church, and lessons learned from 27 years of marriage and raising two sons, David Crisp weaves together home-spun humor, common sense and Biblical truth into a comfortable patch-work quilt of a devotional book that sometimes evokes a grin, sometimes a tear, but always interesting and introspective thoughts about life while keeping a consistent focus on Christ.

It is not important for an author of a Christian book to get recognition from the status quo when dealing with God's Word. For John the Baptist made it plain to future believers when he said, "He must increase, and I must decrease" (John 3:30). Thus, this author's identity will remain as his pen name, Deacon-X, on any books written by him. More important is the message from the sixty-six books contained in the Bible that leads a lost soul from condemnation to justification, to sanctification, and future glorification; all because of repentance and faith in Jesus who died for lost sinners like us that we might have life. This collection of short ministries is not written by a pastor, missionary, or by a Bible college professors, but by an ordinary stiff who worked for sixteen years as an electrician and over thirty-five years as a real estate broker, and who got saved on his last year as a tradesman. Don't expect it to always contain proper grammar, but prayerfully it will contain proper truths from this nameless conservative believer who was taught in the spirit of 2 Timothy 2:2 in a nondenominational gathering by faithful men with shepherds' hearts. This blue collar author was born in September 1946, and born again in September 1979 after hearing the gospel for the first time at the age of thirty-three. In his first ten years as a believer, he attended a denominational gathering and then moved to a nondenominational meeting where all the gifted men shared preaching and teaching. Deacon-X grew and hopefully did his share serving Christ, his church, and his coming kingdom. We hope you enjoy his down to earth blue collar daily conservative approach to the Word of God that will spur you on to delve deeper into the eternal pillars of scripture.
