Books
Teaching resources written by Terry and Melissa Bone and published by I.D. Ministries. Each one puts the ministry's teaching into a form churches, small groups and families can use on their own.
The Great Exchange
A book about making great transitions. Its central image is the relay race: in track and field, the exchange zone is the marked stretch where one runner hands the baton to the next, and almost everything depends on what happens there. Life has exchange zones too — the moments when skills, authority, resources and blessing pass from one generation to the next.
Moving between teaching and storytelling across four sections, it argues that your destiny is a team event rather than a solo run, and gives leaders and parents a practical way to think about succession — how to build something whose impact outlasts you. Directly connected to our leadership work in Canada.

The Family Blessing Guidebook
A practical guide to understanding and giving blessing in your most important relationships. The book is built in three parts — one for the head, explaining why spoken blessing carries weight; one for the heart, using stories to show what blessing looks like at each stage of life and how to recover blessings that were missed; and one for the hand, showing how to give a blessing to anyone who needs one.
Sample blessings for every age and stage are included, along with instructions for writing your own. Widely used for small groups and for personal reading.

Luke's Ladies
A forty-day devotional for women, drawn from the lives of the women who appear in the Gospel of Luke and the book of Acts. Each short reading closes with questions for personal application and a brief prayer.
Written for either personal use or small-group study, it gathers the practical teaching Melissa has shared with women's groups over many years into one compact volume.
