Resources

The Outreach Resources of the Year honors the past year’s best books that emphasize outreach-oriented ideas that churches and organizations of all sizes can use. In this section you will discover valuable tools that belong in your library of resources to further the kingdom of God. You will reach for them time and again as they enhance your effectiveness in ministry through the years.

Each of these books helps lay a foundation for deeper biblical study, understanding and faithful application in the lives of God’s people.
