"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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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."

Book excerpt: 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 [email protected]. Or give him a call at (219) 380-7477.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Jim Morris was a country boy whose father was out of work for a time due to a union strike. The hardship his family experienced as a result left a lasting enmity against all unions. After school, Jim became restless and decided to hitchhike around the country and explore what he had studied while in school. It didn't take long to get into some interesting situations that would change his life forever. Cold, broke, and hungry, Jim tried to enlist in the Navy and Air Force only to be turned down because their quotas were full. He reluctantly jointed the Marines, a move he never regretted. While in the Marines he partnered up with a Jewish fellow who remained his lifelong friend right up to the White House. After the Marines he married a preacher's daughter, going against all odds. After several years and nearly losing his wife, he gave his heart to the Lord. He didn't like what the public schools were teaching his children which led him into minor politics, then to the state house and finally the White House. While campaigning, he discovered a sinister plot of the government which cemented his election as the Tea Party candidate.

Book excerpt: What Can Blue-Collar Business Teach Us About Work and Faith? The faith and work conversation is alive and well, but most resources focus on white-collar jobs, neglecting the majority of the workforce. When Dave Hataj realized he needed to go home and take over the family gear shop, he didn’t expect it to become a spiritually transformative season of his life. Yet as he began to think about what it meant to be a Christian in business, he discovered just how much our work matters to God and how blue-collar business can change people, communities, and even the world. Drawing on the stories of his business, Edgerton Gears, Dave teaches you how to cultivate true inner goodness, meaning, and mission at work—no matter what you do. Your workplace can and should be a place of significance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barbara Melosh's story was a common one. A second-career seminarian, she arrived at her first pastorate brimming with enthusiasm and high hopes. The blue-collar congregation to which she'd been called had a glorious past but an uncertain future. Certain that she could turn around its slow yet undeniable slide into decline, Melosh inaugurated a number of church growth and outreach programs. Most of these efforts had little effect, and the ones that did seem to work soon suffered reverse outcomes and eventual demise. In the end, Melosh had to conclude that the members of the congregation liked their church the way it was and that she could not drag them into a future they did not want. Yet while the congregation failed to change itself, Melosh notes, it succeeded in changing her. Simply put, it made her a pastor. At times heartbreaking and hilarious, Loving and Leaving a Church offers a glimpse into the challenges and opportunities of ministry in a mainline church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you feel that taking your faith to work is as welcome as driving a truck through a living room? Please God, Let There Be Another Boom is a reasonable and helpful guide, showing foundations for integrating faith with work, and exploring the practical impact of faith at work. In an era where workers change jobs or move from city to city in order to sustain themselves and their families, hope to continue will be found in these chapters. After pouring solid footings for faith at work, the author presents ten important areas where workers balance belief with business. These areas include: ... - authority - relationships at work - verbal witness - pay and its problems - rest - meaning at work - prayer at work - and more For over thirty years, author Grant McDowell has shepherded people who live with the impossibilities and rewards of the workplace, and he has engaged in their world via his blue-collar background, his involvement in the local business community, and by seeking ways to encourage those who refuse to pretend spirituality is reserved for wooden benches in quiet sanctuaries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phil's desire is to see growth and maturity in all facets of people's lives. He is passionate about encouraging and equipping people to be fruitful in their abilities and relationships toward God and each other. Phil has always felt strongly about the priesthood of every believer, the work of the Holy Spirit in each life and the everyday, non-vocational ministry that results; as such, he has spent over twenty-eight years ministering in conjunction with alternate employment in various professions spanning three cities and two provinces. Phil has been married to Linda for thirty-one years, and they have five children. When God's truth is offered, there has to be a connection from truth that we already know to truth that we are about to discover. The very order of our world would teach us that there has to be a line of reasoning that does not break. There is connection, there is purpose and there is order. This needs to happen through "clay pots." When this book reaches the hands of another worker and helps to establish their life, that will be success. My prayer is that this book would be a catalyst toward that process.
