"I want toGod's Word."

Biblical training for church leaders.

Leaders in Christ’s church must know the story being told in the Bible. We can help. We offer several unique kinds of teaching material that are designed to help leaders and future leaders grow in their knowledge of God’s word and pass these truths on to others. We also offer, when possible, on-site training for pastors and leaders. In areas of great need we work with local churches extending physical care to those in need.

Preaching through the book of Hosea was a shaping and stretching experience.  While it was reassuring to have good commentaries at my disposal, none of them proved more consistently helpful to me as The Preacher’s Guide.  The introductory points helped me get my footing and the study notes helped me keep my footing throughout.  But what profited me most was that The Preacher’s Guide helped me keep my eyes on Christ.  No wonder I kept my footing!

Pastor Brandon Bellomo, Fellowship Bible Church of Pierz, Pierz, MN

I am nearing the end of my fifth year as a pastor and the Preacher’s Guides have been such a help and a blessing. I am so grateful to have one of the guides when I am preaching through a book in the Bible. As a church we just finished a year in the book of Revelation. I was so thankful to have the Preacher’s Guide as a source as I studied throughout the week preparing for a message. What I appreciated the most is how the author references the Old Testament passages that John was referring to when he wrote the book of Revelation. I have personally grown through this study and have gotten better myself at seeing how often the New Testament writers are pulling from the Old Testament. These resources are such a blessing for any believer.

–Andrew Melton, Pastor of Cornerstone Christian Church, Spooner, Wisconsin USA

We are grateful for these study materials and we use them in our pastor and leaders seminars. It is a joy to go through the Scriptures with church leaders throughout Asia and then receive reports that they are taking these studies and multiplying them in their churches and home Bible Studies.

I have never been more excited to use a teaching material as I am with the Developing Leaders six-part series. As you know, one of the biggest challenges facing our pastors and leaders is how to teach difficult parts of Scripture - especially in the Old Testament. This material helps connect the dots from Genesis to Revelation all the while focusing on the line that connects all the dots and that of course is Jesus. I have used this material with pastors and leaders in the Dominican Republic and here in the United States and not only was it well received with many eyes being opened, but they are also excited to not only use the material themselves but also to start the next gear!

As a shepherd of a small church I’m incredibly excited to see 25 to 30 adults interested in attending a weekly Bible study. It’s increasingly difficult to find good solid studies that will hold the interest and challenge the individual to think for themselves. The book of Revelation preacher's guide was just the ticket! As our class grew to over 30, the hunger for a better understanding came with it. Using our Bibles and the guide on Revelation by Hands to the Plow we navigated through the imagery of Revelation and came away with more confidence and a better understanding of the purpose of this amazing book. God wants us to be prepared for the future and he assures us that it will be hard but stand firm, have faith in him. Thank you Tom Kelby from Hands to the Plow.

The "Preacher's Guide to the Book of Revelation" published by Hands to the Plow, Inc. really helped our church.  It genuinely inspired our people to a sense of awe and worship in a text that originally scared some of our folks.  I lost count of how many "ah-ha" moments there were during our study.  The material clearly outlined the key thoughts to the book, simplified crucial OT references for backdrop, and provided enough insight that made Revelation easy to understand.  I cannot speak highly enough of how important this work was in the life of our body.
