Jeff Allen Live Happy Wife, Happy Life
Jeff Allen
DVD If it’s true what the doctors say about the healing benefits of laughter, then a dose of Jeff Allen should cure what’s ailing you. Jeff’s witty commentary on family life strikes a familiar note: he knows where YOU live! He covers topics ranging from potty training his two year old and serving dessert to his children, to attaching his wife with a roaster chicken. Jeff’s stand-up routine may be one of the funniest programs you’ll ever see. It centers around the realization that if his wife is happy, he’s happy...and if she’s not, then he most definitely is not! But at the heart of Jeff’s routine is his deep love for his "buttercup," and his mid-life discovery of God’s deep love for him. |

Transforming Your Church With Natural Church Development
Christian A. Schwarz
2 VHS Videos and a reproducible Workbook
“A man scatters seed on the ground. Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. All by itself the soil produces grain” (Mark 4:26–28). In what is believed to be the largest church research project, ever conducted, Schwarz discovered eight quality characteristics which contribute to the church’s overall health. Significantly, Schwarz learned that when a church has achieved this health, growth happens “all by itself.” |
