The Teaming Church
Ministry in the Age of Collaboration
A committee is not the same as a team. In this book, Robert C. Crosby explains that great teams require a deeply challenging goal, a creatively empowering leader, and a collaborative community rooted in Scripture. Drawing on biblical examples—and the model of the Trinity as the ultimate “Divine Team”—Crosby shows how church communities can reflect God’s image through healthy teamwork. Blending biblical insight with practical experience, Crosby equips faith leaders to build thriving, mission-driven team cultures.
The One Jesus Loves
Grace is Unconditionally Given, Intimacy Must Be Relentlessly Pursued
How close can we get to Jesus—and how close do you want to be? In The One Jesus Loves, readers explore the six relational circles that formed around Christ during His earthly ministry. From the curious Crowds and the needy Five Thousand to the serving Seventy, the committed Twelve, the intimate Three, and finally the One who leaned beside Him at the Last Supper, each circle reflects a deeper level of devotion. Discover where you stand—and what it takes to move closer still.
More Than A Savior
When Jesus Calls You Friend
Experience Jesus in a deeply personal and transformative way — just as His closest friends did. Drawing from the relationships Jesus formed on earth, insights from faithful believers throughout history, and personal reflection, Crosby invites readers into an authentic, daily friendship with Christ. More than a spiritual idea, this abiding relationship becomes a lived reality. Walking side-by-side with Jesus, readers discover the richest friendship imaginable — one designed by God from the very beginning.
When Faith Catches Fire
Embracing the Spiritual Passion of the Latino Reformation
When Faith Catches Fire asks what can transform faith from a learned principle into a lived passion. Samuel Rodriguez and Dr. Robert Crosby point to a surprising source: the Latino church. As one of the fastest-growing communities in America, Latino believers are reshaping church culture through vibrant worship, fervent prayer, and a mission to change lives one soul at a time. Challenging complacent Christianity, this book calls readers to embrace a bold, soulful faith and rekindle a heart fully set ablaze for Christ.
The Will of a Man & The Way of a Woman
Balancing & Blending Better Together
An invitation to embrace the magnetic pull of your differences, this book helps couples blend more beautifully in life and love. Robert and Pamela Crosby explore the unique, God-given motivations often found in men and women — a man’s strong will and a woman’s discerning sense of direction — and how these differences create both tension and harmony. Through their own marital journey of ups and downs, they share practical insight on learning to balance, bend, and blend.
