Kingdom Building In The Meantime

Have you ever had someone peer into your innermost being? Have you ever made eye contact with someone and realized that they really saw you? I recently had that experience. I greeted someone and could not help but notice how intently she stared at me. She smiled and held her keen eye contact. When prompted, she said she could tell that I have been with God. I am in the meantime—the time or season before the manifestation of God’s promise. It is the period of time when we wait for the promises of His Word to come to pass. I simply love how that word promise is defined. It is a declaration that one will do something specific. It is an indication of future success. God has given me His word that He will commit himself to specifically bless me, and He has given it to you as well. If you and I are to live the lives God promised us according to Jeremiah 29:11, we must hold on to His Word. This requires patient action. Kingdom-building in this meantime is just that—a state of actively waiting for God’s promises. God has given me specific instructions and opportunities for the meantime, just as He undoubtedly has given you. During this time, it is imperative that we attune our ears to His voice and heed His instructions. Kingdom Building in the Meantime presents lessons I have learned and tools I have used during my meantime season to help you keep, protect, and grow the seeds of God’s promises in your personal meantime.

This book seeks to envision emerging leaders and also equips existing leaders to step out in bold Kingdom ventures. It is a must read for all established visionary leaders and for those who are emerging as aspiring leaders. Catherine draws from her own ministry experience in leading global vision and does so in a transparent and straightforward fashion. The topics in the books include how to recognise your season in the Lord, how to conceive, consolidate and build foundations for vision. How to be prepared to carry vision, how to implement, share and lead vision to completion. Advice on partnership, vision, values, balance in leadership, investing in team, setting goals, dealing with enemy opposition and obtaining counter strategy and much, much more. “This is a wonderfully practical book that melds together Godly values with our best efforts to bring forth Kingdom strategy. It challenges us to lay a true foundation for realizing vision by nurturing the right heart attitude with God and our fellow ministry partners. Then it builds on that solid foundation with straightforward and accessible principles and guidelines. May visions be realized; May leaders be developed; May God’s Kingdom Come.” Rev. Wesley Zinn, Wellspring Church

Far too long women have been the proverbial question mark when it came to ministry and how far they can go in it. I had the calling from God for at least ten years before I accepted it. Reason being, I had seen the way women were disrespected by male pastors/ministers, not recognizing there capabilities, and even not "permitting" women in "their" pulpit. No thank you, to a thankless job. However, a few things have changed today in some areas, but a lot has not changed at all in others. In my over thirty years in ministry, I finally realized something. Women, all roads to kingdom building do NOT lead to the pulpit!! WOMEN, read my book and get a head start on finding what God has called YOU to do. Stop guessing! MEN, read my book and get a new insight about women's role in kingdom building. While you're at it, read the bible about Deborah, Anna, Rahab to name a few women who were intelligent, courageous, and strong in the work of the ministry.

Brigham Young was one of the most influential—and controversial—Mormon leaders in American history. An early follower of the new religion, he led the cross-continental migration of the Mormon people from Illinois to Utah, where he built a vast religious empire that was both revolutionary and authoritarian, radically different from yet informed by the existing culture of the U.S. With his powerful personality and sometimes paradoxical convictions, Young left an enduring stamp on both his church and the region, and his legacy remains active today. In a lively, concise narrative bolstered by primary documents, and supplemented by a robust companion website, David Mason tells the dynamic story of Brigham Young, and in the process, illuminates the history of the LDS Church, religion in America, and the development of the American west. This book will be a vital resource for anyone seeking to understand the complex, uniquely American origins of a church that now counts over 15 million members worldwide.
