PyroMarketing is coming next month.

PyroMarketing by Greg Stielstra is going to be in stores on September 27 of this year. There is no word on why Harper Collins decided to reverse their earlier decision to suppress the book.

Pyromarketing and The Purpose Driven Life

Since publishing this article new information has come to light. I’d encourage you to read this article also published on this site instead of this one as it contains more information and better information. The Purpose Driven Life is a runaway bestseller. In truth, it is in a category all its own. It is closing…

Purposeful Interference – An Update

“Following the success of The Purpose Driven Life and other phenomena that displayed the value of PyroMarketing, Stielstra decided the time was right to publish a book explaining his philosophy of marketing. Without claiming credit for its success, he sought to explain the success of the book through the principles of his marketing philosophy. HarperCollins…

Sunday Ramblings

Dan Edelen, because of his burning anger stemming from the article I wrote about Pyromarketing, has launched into a series about The Christian and the Business World. He is four or five articles into the series and so far so good. I was only kidding about the burning anger. The truth is, he mentioned that…

Throw Out the Buoys!

When I was young, my family owned a cottage on a lake. From a young age, I loved to head out in our little motorboat so I could explore that lake and the others that were connected to it. I could easily make a day out of slipping into little inlets to see where they…

Happy Lies

I’m quite certain you have heard of the New Age movement. Though its popularity seems to have crested and begun to wane some time ago, it continues to wield a good bit of influence. But I wonder if you’ve heard of another similarly-named but quite different movement called New Thought.

I have often been asked what I consider the greatest weakness of today’s church or what I would change about today’s church if I could.

But I also wouldn’t be completely shocked if it’s there somewhere and I’ve just missed it. And that’s because his life and ministry were powerfully unique in…

How To Teach Kids Theology

Churches have few responsibilities more urgent and few honors more profound than teaching and training children. Every week these little ones show up with their parents and every week there are opportunities to reach them with truths that will change their hearts and transform their lives. It is little wonder, then, that there are multitudes…

While most of my travel has been related to either speaking at conferences or filming documentaries, my hosts have often invited me to deviate from the straightest course to explore and take in the area’s natural beauty. It’s…
