About Dr. Toote
Pastor, scholar, and builder of leaders. Author of The 10 Biblical Laws of Success.
Where faith, learning, and leadership meet.
Dr. Christopher Edison Lynn Toote serves as an Executive Pastor of Leadership, Administration, and Christian Education. His career has moved between the church, the university, and the marketplace, and he has brought the same conviction to each: God intends His people to flourish.
He has served as a higher education administrator, a seminary adjunct professor, a business consultant, a trainer, an inventor, and a motivational speaker. That range shapes how he writes. He reads Scripture with a pastor’s heart, studies it with a scholar’s discipline, and applies it with a consultant’s eye for what works on Monday morning.
His thirteen books include The 10 Biblical Laws of Success, titles on universal success and effective leadership, and a library of sermon and Bible study outlines used by pastors, teachers, and lay leaders.
Why “Success CELT”?
CELT is Dr. Toote’s signature: Christopher Edison Lynn Toote.
He puts his name behind one conviction. Success, rightly pursued, belongs to God’s people. The monogram sets his four initials inside a frame left open at two corners, a quiet nod to one of his own ideas: there is no box.
Three convictions behind every book.
God is the Author of success
Success is first taught, encouraged, and modeled by God. The desire to grow is not worldly when it is surrendered to Him.
Success is whole
True prosperity is spiritual, social, intellectual, financial, and physical. Winning in one area while losing the others is not success.
Success is for sharing
God expects His people to honor Him, serve others, and bless everyone they meet. Success blesses the giver and the receiver.
