May I Help You With Your Christmas Shopping?

If you're struggling to find that perfect, though amazingly inexpensive, gift for someone you love, perhaps you might consider one of my books.  Listed below are the four top-selling works of the four books I've written. 

Books by Dr. Ronald “Dee” Vaughan

Messages from Mayberry:

Spiritual Life Lessons from My Favorite Episodes of The Andy Griffith Show.

For more than half a century, viewers have loved The Andy Griffith Show, not only for its wholesome humor and unforgettable characters, but also for the life lessons so many episodes teach. 

Pastor Ronald “Dee” Vaughan put that Mayberry magic to work in his church’s worship services, showing a particularly edifying episode, then going from the script to the scripture to explore life issues from a Christian perspective.  Messages from Mayberry contains Pastor Vaughan’s messages based on twenty-six of the most uplifting episodes of the show.  Let these life-centered sermons be your invitation to take your seat in the All Souls Church in Mayberry, NC and hear a message that will deepen your love of a great television show and deepen your understanding of the Christian life. Available now at St. Andrews Baptist Church (email deevaughan@standrewsbaptist.org for information) and soon at Amazon.com.  

  

The Stories of My Life

“Tell me your story.” When you offer that invitation, you want to know someone at more than a surface level.  You want to know where they’ve been, what they’ve done, who they’ve loved, and what they’ve learned about life’s meaning along the way. 

You share your faith by telling your story.  Christians believe that God is present in this world and is at work in our lives, so when we talk about our faith, we naturally tell the stories of those moments when God has revealed Himself to us.  The Stories of My Life contains over two hundred stories from the life of Dr. Ronald “Dee” Vaughan, moments when God revealed Himself, teaching the author about himself, about faith and about the miracle and mystery of life.  Available in paperback and Kindle formats at Amazon.com. 

 

Seeing in the Dark:

Biblical Meditations for People

Dealing with Depression

Does the Bible have anything to say about depression? In thirty-five years of serving as a pastor, counselor, and chaplain, Ronald “Dee” Vaughan has learned that this is not an academic question. Those who ask about the Bible’s relevance to this illness do so because they are struggling with emotional and spiritual darkness and need spiritual strength to survive. As a student of the Bible and a survivor of depression, the author answers those struggling seekers. During his own time of illness, Vaughan kept a journal of Scripture passages, quotations, advice, and personal discoveries—truths that gave him glimpses of spiritual light that guided him through the darkness toward healing and health. In this book, he shares those life-giving discoveries. This collection of biblical meditations is designed to be used as a daily devotional resource. Along with each meditation is a prayer based on that chapter’s life lesson and a truth to affirm, a short summary to help readers remember what they’ve learned.  Available in paperback and e-book formats at helwys.com, amazon.com, and barnesandnoble.com.

Making the Shift Worship Resources:

Sermons and other Worship Tools for Making the Shift in Congregations

How can the church be relevant and authentic in our rapidly changing world? 

Three years ago, Mark Tidsworth offered an answer to that pressing question by publishing Shift: Three Big Moves for The 21st Century Church.  Since its publication, Shift has been embraced by numerous churches and denominational groups as a way to understand and adapt to our shifting cultural environment.  As groups have made The Shift, pastors and worship leaders have asked for sermons, prayers, litanies and other resources they might use to design rich worship experiences to engage the entire congregation in The Shift experience. Now, that help is available. Pinnacle Leadership Press is delighted to partner with Dr. Ronald “Dee” Vaughan to bring you this volume of worship resources. A gifted communicator, preacher and author, Dee has the eyes to see and ears to hear how the scriptures guide us into personal and congregational transformation. As you read, you will also find sermons from some of the many other pastors and worship leaders who are making excellent use of the Shift content to seed their preaching and worship planning. Available in paperback and e-book formats at Amazon.com and Pinnacle Leadership Press.
