Inside the Church: Understanding How Ministries Work Separately and Together takes an in-depth look at the characteristics, impact, and interactions of the diverse components of today's Christian church and how they combine to accomplish the overall mission of the church. To accomplish this task, author Dr. David F. Felsburg documents ten frequently occurring ministries for three levels of systems analysis in order to understand the individual ministry, examine its stand-alone system functionality, and consider how it works within the complex church system. Each level of analysis reveals unique information on the selected ministry from views seldom seen in nontechnical literature. The ten mi...
In the follow-up to Talkin' about Christ - Over the Back Fence, author, dedicated pastor and evangelist Dr. David F. Felsburg returns to the subject of ministerial attrition of evangelists and how it relates to the debate over the doctrine of redemption in his new book, How God Gets You Back. Whether you are already a believer or looking to lead another person toward Christ, How God Gets You Back provides readers with the authority, evidence and path to achieve everlasting life with God. He writes of his own introduction to Christ: How on Earth can a person once dedicated to atheism and full denial of any god at all present a book written on how to lead other people to Jesus Christ? ... I be...
Bivocational is about a subset of Christian ministers who range in number from an extremely small minority to a nearly unanimous majority depending on church or denominational theology and/or policy regarding how they assign ministers to their churches. Part I of the book presents three chapters defining Gods call into the ministry, the characteristics of the Gospel ministry, and the unique characteristics of the bivocational ministry. Part II deals with the world of the bivocational minister as it relates to the denomination, the state and local associations, the church leadership, the congregation, other churches, the other job, the community, the family and the bivocational life.

Salvation is an integral part of faith, yet there are questions about how it can be achieved how Christ can win you back. Is salvation a single event with eternal ramifications? Is it a process based on how one lives in this life? Or is salvation granted only at a final judgment, when God determines one's eternal dwelling place? The questions surrounding salvation are some of the most divisive issues in Christianity. In How God Gets You Back, author Dr. David F. Felsburg discusses the fundamental doctrine of redemption as documented in the Bible and described by religious scholars of all Christian denominations. Dr. Felsburg lays out the easily understood results of research and analysis to document and resolve issues surrounding this doctrine. He also highlights significant agreement between scholars of mainstream Christian denominations, once thought to have fundamental disagreements on the character of His redemption. A follow-up to Talkin' about Christ Over the Back Fence, How God Gets You Back is Dr. Felsburg's continued attempt to bring attention and clarification to issues facing Christianity today.

Dr. Felsburg describes the adult small group growth ministry and includes detailed job descriptions and functional insights for each leadership position in those small groups. He also examines a biblical model in considering all the necessary ministries a leader might implement for the s...
Moving the practitioner out of the pew and into the everyday world where the unbeliever lives, congregates, and socializes, Profiling the Prospect presents an array of methods for studying people's behavior to gather evidence of how far God has taken them in their spiritual journey to redemption. In Profiling the Prospect, author Dr. David F. Felsburg applies profiling techniques to understand a person's movement toward Christ. He shows how to determine the proper profile for the prospect by asking noninvasive questions or making routine conversation and documenting the responses. He divides a prospect's climb toward faith into seven different but related levels of spiritual awareness and pr...
The Business of Evangelism Revisited is the capstone volume of six books and a PhD dissertation on the topic of outreach, evangelism and church growth. It establishes the paradigm shift of understanding evangelism as a miraculous work of God's self-revelation supported by humankind rather than a work initiated and executed by them. God accomplishes His miracle through His General Revelation of God (Romans 1:18-20) and His Specific Revelation of Christ (Revelation 3:20). Doctor Felsburg began the series by publishing the 20-week series of lesson plans he used to teach evangelism for nearly 40 years. The book is Talkin' About Christ - Over the Back Fence (2010) which contains 10-weeks of basic...
Dr. Felsburg provides a unique approach to evangelism training in Talkin' about Christ - Over the Back Fence. The book is designed to integrate the disciplines of engineering, theology and human behavior analysis to examine where a person is in his or her journey toward Christ and formulate an action plan for closing the gap. The first ten chapters deal with applying well know Christian materials as instruments for measuring a prospect's current beliefs as a launching pad for helping them advance toward Christ. The second ten chapters address the interpretation of prospect responses and the application of those responses to a plan for tracking the progress of the unbelievers over the next se...
