Today I learned that my dear friend and book mentor, Dr. Aubrey Malphurs, went home to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus in glory. For much of my ministry life, I have read his books and articles, listened to his podcasts, and occasionally sat under his teaching. Dr. Malphurs taught at Dallas Theological Seminary for some 38 years where he influenced thousands who have served the Lord around the world. He was also the founder and leader of the Malphurs Group, a church consulting ministry. In honor and in memory of Dr. Malphurs, I want to recommend to you a few of his many books that have helped shape my ministry and expand God's Kingdom. Discover these great resources in this blog.

Anyone who is in a pastoral or biblical teaching ministry may experience a sinking feeling after the presentation has been made. It's that helpless feeling that comes when you think you could have done much better and you wonder if you "lost" your audience somewhere between the introduction and the conclusion. I had one of those experiences yesterday. Now, 24 hours out, I am reminded of what really happened. Let me share a few thoughts about this with you as a way to encourage you in your ministry.
