Principles of Leadership

By Dr. Jack Hyles

Many self-help books are available on the market that will list principles and needs of leadership. Seldom will a book address the real aspects and qualities of leadership. Real leaders are not desirous of position or fame. They are desirous of an opportunity to do something for God and for others. Leadership has been defined as being one who collects ideas from followers, compiles them, and sends each follower a copy. To that end, this book on principles of leadership has been compiled.

How to Treat Different Types of Church Members

By Dr. Jack Hyles

Life is composed of a series of human relationships. Much of one’s success in life depends upon the proper handling of these relationships and the proper priorities concerning them. Whether we like it or not, we must learn to relate to our enemies, to the fallen, to the tormentor, and to the tempter. All of these are found in every church, and the members of every church must learn to face them properly if we are to reach a lost world.

Teaching on Preaching

By Dr. Jack Hyles

Dr. Hyles made no attempt at being original. He often said that the definition of leadership is, “One who goes from follower to follower and collects ideas, compiles them, puts them in a book, and sells a copy to each follower.” Dr. Hyles was privileged to travel the length and breadth of this country. He met many men of God who influenced him in his preaching. Dr. Hyles collected ideas and methods from them and compiled them into this book. “Someone has said that preaching is pouring back in a flood what you receive from the audience in a vapor. I trust that you are refreshed and blessed and helped by the flood.”—Dr. Hyles

Teaching on Teaching

"I want to talk to you about the purpose of education. I'm not talking just about formal education like college or high school; I'm talking about the purpose of all education.

The Greatest Lesson You Will Ever Learn

By Dr. Jack Hyles

"Many years ago, a Baptist deacon said to me, 'Jack, I believe that you could be a soul winner.' I was a timid, introverted boy. I didn't think I could do anything, much less something so important and wonderful as being a personal soul winner. This deacon, Jesse Cobb, persisted and insisted that I try to become a soul winner. I thank God that he encouraged me to enter into the greatest business in all of the world." -Dr. Jack Hyles

The Hyles Sunday School Manual

By Dr. Jack Hyles

“How many did you have in Sunday school last Sunday?” “What is your Sunday school averaging now?” These and many similar questions can be heard at conventions, in fellowship meetings, and at many other places where pastors convene and converse. Such questions remind us that the Sunday school is the number one criterion by which we judge the success of our churches. Hence, The Hyles Sunday School Manual was added to The Hyles Manual Series. Methods and materials presented in this book come from the author’s experience of over 40 years of pastoring churches whose Sunday schools have ranged in attendance from 7 to over 20,000.
