Heaven's Highest Priority: Leadership Edition (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781951611439)

Our world has an identity crisis.

And often, our churches do as well.

Every day, people struggle to find acceptance and significance in an increasingly impersonal and fractured society. But despite their best efforts, too many are left empty and hopeless.

A pastor for many years, Jack Shumate understands how often we find our significance through what we do, what we build, how we minister; or even how influential we have become, instead of understanding our importance to our heavenly Father and how influential we can be simply by resting in who we are as his sons and daughters.

In Heaven's Highest Priority he recounts his journey to discovering identity, significance, and healthy influence, writing with vulnerability and raw honesty. He found that healing comes when we embrace what is most important to our Father in heaven: a loving relationship with him and with others.

Our heavenly Father is madly in love with this orphaned world, and he longs to see people in safe and loving families that challenge, empower, and release them to become more than they ever dreamed.

"Pastor Jack does an amazing job of weaving his life experience and the Scriptures together to teach us about God's healing power, giving us a new perspective on the Father's heart and what biblical ministry should look like in the post-COVID era of the church."
