Welcome!
 
Thank you for visiting the Internet home of RPM Books, RPM Ministries, and Rivendell Personal Ministries.
 
All three ministries exist to equip you "to change lives with Christ's changeless truth."
 
RPM is our acrostic for Resurrection Power Multipliers. We based the concept upon Paul's prayer in Philippians 3:10:
"I want to know Christ and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His suffering."
  
Meet Dr. Bob Kellemen
 
Dr. Robert W. Kellemen (Bob) founded RPM Ministries in 2000 to provide conferences and seminars teaching how to relate God's truth to human relationships.
 
In 2003, he formed RPM Books to equip equippers--lay leaders, pastors, counselors, and students.
 
In 2004, Bob and his wife Shirley established Rivendell (Rivendell Personal Ministries) to minister mending to ministry families. Rivendell also provides consultation to churches and para-church ministries.

"Soul Physicians is a great and unique book: deeply shaped by Scripture; promoting of a personal engagement with biblical teaching and with Christ; challenging and focused against sin; but practical, gentle in spirit, and discerning in method and counseling skill. The book itself exemplifies what a biblical counselor should be like. Its use of a redemptive-historical structure (creation-fall-redemption-consummation) alone is worth the price of the book, since the value of this framework has not yet been fully realized in Christian counseling. It should be widely used in counseling programs and local churches that value the Bible."

— Eric Johnson, Ph.D., Professor of Pastoral Theology and Biblical Psychology, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

"I know of no other book that offers counselors, pastors, ministry leaders, and spiritual coaches such a comprehensive and biblical resource for learning and teaching the art of soul care as Spiritual Friends. It accomplishes what few books have ever attempted to do: lay out for us in very practical terms the Bible's marvelously rich pathway for cultivating the art of being a true spiritual friend."
