"This book isn''t theoretical, filled with simply good ideas and insight. It''s a clear and compelling call to consider what it means to be the people of God in the midst of a severely broken and battered world." — Matt Chandler, lead pastor, The Village Church

Doug Logan pastors in Camden, NJ, a city of great need where God is doing great things. Amid drug abuse, gang violence, and extreme poverty, God is using Doug and Epiphany Fellowship to rewrite broken stories and bring life to the block.

With teachings from Scripture and powerful stories from his urban context, Doug will help you change the story on your own block, wherever that may be. If you are a pastor trying to mobilize your church, or a Christian trying to live with purpose, this theology of missions will help. It will inspire you to do what matters, take steps of faith, and watch God work. Read On the Block, then go and make a difference.

On the Block covers topics like:

God’s heart for missionsBarriers to living missionally (especially in the urban context)Biblical reasons for urgencyThe essential nature of gospel engagement Key strategies for the harvest

Are you dreaming of becoming a boat-owner? Are you a new boat-owner with a lot of questions? What if you could get expert and entertaining advice from a sailor and powerboater who has spent a lifetime testing and writing about boats and boat gear, and experiencing first-hand the joys and trials of owning them? Here’s what other experts are saying about Doug Logan’s BoatSense:

I only wish Doug Logan's wonderfully engaging and instructive treatise had been around 20 years ago... Warm, accessible, and wickedly smart, BoatSense is an instant classic.

— Nathaniel Philbrick, author of In the Heart of the Sea and Second Wind

If you are even remotely interested in boats, you need to read BoatSense.

— Ed Sherman, author of The Powerboater's Guide to Electrical Systems

Good sense and good boats have rarely been so clear and entertaining.

— John Rousmaniere, author of The Annapolis Book of Seamanship

BoatSense is #1 in the Book Authority's list of the "15 Best Boating Books of All Time"

In BoatSense, veteran sailor and writer Doug Logan speaks directly to those who have been bitten by the boating bug, but who may be overwhelmed by the complexity of the game and by the amount of information available. His mission is not to give all the answers, but to provide a way of thinking about the issues involved in owning and operating a boat safely and happily. At the heart of his advice are simplicity and the habits of good seamanship. His reflections would have brought a smile to experienced mariners of the past, and no doubt will do the same for mariners of the future.

Learn about the mindset of seamanship in the chapter called Walking the Beat. Understand the importance of maintenance and your own DIY skills in Embrace the Hacksaw. Think through the most important processes of evaluating, shopping for, and equipping a boat with the wisdom in Buying In and The Right Stuff.

BoatSense contains some of the most important checklists and sidebars a new boat-buyer will need, including:
