In Nazi concentration camps, the will of Jewish prisoners was broken by stripping away their personal identification and giving them just a number rather than a name. Satan operates the same way, always trying to undo the faith of believers by twisting the reality of who they are as followers of  Christ.

Identity by young pastor Eric Geiger (coauthor of the multi-awarded national bestseller Simple Church) helps Christians clearly understand who they really are as defined by various Scriptures and unpacks the practical response that goes along with each wonderfully dramatic, empowering, and liberating truth.

Readers will consider like never before the Bible’s descriptions of God followers as priests, brides, servants, friends, aliens, and ambassadors. Both challenged and encouraged, they will discover their deepest self and greatest purpose in Identity.

Simple Student Ministry fine tunes the proven methods of #1 best seller Simple Church for the unique field of youth discipleship.Coauthor Eric Geiger, who contributed to the latter, takes a step forward here, neatly unpacking the key ideas of Clarity, Movement, Alignment, and Focus that will transform any over-stimulated youth program into a simpler, more results-oriented spiritual development process. Fun is still allowed, by all means, but the ultimate emphasis on maturing faith is simply essential.

The anecdotal comparisons are current and on-target (Starbucks’ well-publicized decision to retrain baristas in coffee making introduces the idea that youth leaders might also be wise to revisit the gospel essence of their ministry). And case study data gleaned from small to mega churches and parachurch ministries will give every youth leader a relatable reference point from which to begin the successful metamorphosis to Simple.

This updated trade paper edition includes a new chapter with further insights the authors have gained through hundreds of conversations with church leaders since this landmark book''s original release.

In a time when leaders are falling like trees in a storm, there is a need for a different kind of leader.

Our world desperately needs leaders with roots: ones who are deeply grounded, who know who they are, and who are equipped to endure adversity and bear the fruit of vibrant leadership.

Eric Geiger believes that lasting leadership starts beneath the surface. Drawing from the biblical story of Nehemiah—often referred to as history’s first leadership book—Eric offers leaders practical insights on the roots beneath the surface that result in the fruit all leaders desire: vision, conviction, servanthood, perseverance, credibility, transformation, and resolve.

In The Rooted Leader, you will

Whether you’re leading in a church, business, organization, or family, The Rooted Leader offers a path to becoming the kind of faithful leader who stands strong in the storm and bears fruit for those you serve.

Eric Geiger, author and senior pastor of Mariners Church, teams up with his teen-aged daughter Eden to bring teens the definitive daily devotional on finding their true identity.

Teens are constantly barraged by cultural messages that lead them to believe that their identity is based on a plethora of external factors like a pair of shoes, “core” styles of fashion, genres of music, and any number of activities and interests. All this energy reflects an attempt to find the identity that fits them the best.

This book helps teens to embrace and enjoy the identity God has uniquely instilled in them: an identity that is better than anything the world offers them, one they receive through God’s grace alone. The best part is that no one has to achieve this identity in Christ on their own—or adapt to fit the world’s expectations of their individuality. They can rest in God’s help to discover who they really are and who he made them to be.

In this seven-week devotional, father and daughter authors Eric and Eden Geiger offer perspectives as a pastor-parent and as a teenager on who God says we are according to his Word.

Perfect for youth groups and young adult Bible studies, the format for each day of this teen devotional is:

Don’t let the world try to force you to be something you weren’t meant to be. Let the Father who loves you most reveal who he intended you to be through His Spirit and His Word. Instead of fighting to fit in, find yourself embracing who you are at your core . . . and ENJOYING your true identity!
