We are excited to announce an incredible new ARC Resource – Walking with Lions by Jonathan Wiggins. Walking with Lions; How to find true courage and enduring strength through God-honoring relationships, is the latest book in the ARC How-To Series, available for pre-order now! As an ARC exclusive, included with your pre-order is a free digital download of the Walking with Lions Leader’s Guide. Pre-Order bundle offer available through March 22.
In at least one way, we’re not that different: Every person on the planet longs to be fully known and deeply loved—both, not one or the other. To be known but not loved makes us feel exposed; to be loved but not known is superficial and unfulfilling. In this book, Jonathan Wiggins explains the heart of God for rich, strong, healing relationships. He teaches from a compelling biblical perspective, and each chapter is full of illustrative stories and practical suggestions. And Jonathan writes from experience. He has developed this kind of relationship with his staff team. They call themselves “lions” because they’ve found the courage to be honest and supportive as they work together to do great things for God’s kingdom.
"All of us have taught and preached about the importance of relationships, but I'm not sure we've given people enough practical ideas about how to build stronger, deeper, richer connections. In Walking with Lions, Jonathan Wiggins has cracked the code. He offers hope that church leaders can nurture environments where people connect on a life-changing level."
