In these honest and imaginative poems, Demaree gives us a glimpse into a father's whole and blessed acceptance of his children for who they are and for who they will be. In these poems, the father is present and reachable and therefore fallible. Here is a world where a child is an ocean or a ship, squints at the problems of the world or runs naked through the streets. Here the magic of childhood meets the real and often surreal concerns of love and parenting. Here is a world where the darkness isn't shied away from, but the fierce light shines bright enough to tame it. - Donna Vorreyer, author of to everything there is

Building and Sustaining a Thriving Leadership Culture Essential to every healthy church is a biblical model of leadership. In the New Testament, church leadership is built around a team of elders working together, each bringing his own unique skills and gifts to the cause of shepherding the flock God entrusted to them. However, in many churches today the principle of plurality in leadership is often misunderstood, mistakenly applied, or completely ignored. Dave Harvey encourages church leaders to prioritize plurality for the surprising ways that it helps churches to flourish. This book not only builds a compelling case for churches to adopt and maintain biblical elder pluralities guided by solid leadership but also supplies practical tools to help elders work together for transformation.
