Covenant Discipleship Communicant's Curriculum
(Co-Authored with Richard L. Burguet)This two-part curriculum puts the privilege and responsibility of the communicant process in the hands of parents, yet provides for oversight and direction from church leadership. Borrowing from key aspects of a homeschooling model, it gives a basic overview of membership in the Presbyterian church, answering questions such as, "What is faith in Christ?" "What do Presbyterians believe?" and "What does it mean to join a Presbyterian Church?"
Covenant Discipleship has been adopted by dozens of congregations in the Presbyterian Church in America (and other Presbyterian congregations) as their default communicant's curriculum.

You've Heard It Said: Bible Words We Use Poorly
Christians use Bible words often; sometimes, though, we inadvertently misuse them! In this book, I look at five of these words which are central to the life of the church, but are also misunderstood and used poorly in conversations, discussions, and even preaching and teaching. I also examine a handful of related terms to each of the five words, considering how we might expand and improve our vocabularies and use our words more effectively.Strong & Courageous: Congregations Facing Change when the Pastor Leaves
When a pastor announces that he is leaving, everything changes. Whether the pastor is leaving under duress or following a fruitful and welcomed ministry, the changes that come to a church—and the preparation needed for receiving the next pastor—are significant, and deserve guidance and encouragement. In this brief booklet, I will offer some practical thoughts and ideas for how a congregation can prepare for their next pastor.
