"Where does discipleship end and evangelism begin? How does one fit
with the other?
Joining the two together properly is a challenge. Both are
important and both are necessary.
Missional Discipleship offers a holistic vision that effectively
incorporates discipleship with evangelism. Thoroughly Wesleyan in
its emphasis on God's ever-present grace and the possibility of
human response, this approach demonstrates that education and
formation go hand-in-hand with mission and witness.
Written by a cadre of scholars and seasoned ministers, this
book is an accessible resource to assist pastors and leaders as
they introduce to their churches and small groups the vision of
mission discipleship. With topics ranging from service and
compassion to discipleship and the family, this invaluable guide
encapsulates what it means to engage a community of faith in
embodying the gospel and equipping Christians to participate in the
restorative and redemptive mission of God in the world."
Pastoring is tough. The challenges are many, expectations are high,
and tasks are wide ranging.
Pastoral Practices is a guide to help pastors draw on the
insights of Wesleyan theology and incorporate them into their
ministries. Whatever the task may be--preaching, discipling,
evangelizing, or administrating--this book will shed light on the
way Wesleyan theology refines, informs, and enhances the theories
and methods of each pastoral practice.
Not only will pastors and their associates find this book a
worthwhile asset, but lay leaders, small-group facilitators, and
others doing ministry in the church will also benefit from its
invaluable insight and well-reasoned advice.
Today pastors and church leaders have an unparalleled opportunity
to shape a biblical vision for Kingdom giving. Based on the
foundational premise that stewardship is the management of time,
talents, and treasure, authors Stan Toler and Elmer Towns set forth
a vision for pastors and church leaders to shape the thinking in
the pews. Developing a Giving Church provides guidance for shaping
a giving environment, suggestions for developing committed steward
leaders, and counsel on biblical strategies. This vital stewardship
resource merges insightful principles with proven methods for
creating a climate for giving through stewardship education.
For many Christians who experience same-sex attraction, reconciling
faith and homosexuality is a lonely and painful journey. "LOVES
GOD, LIKES GIRLS--A MEMOIR" is one woman's recollection of her
journey, allowing faith to plunge her into deeper discovery of the
truth about her sexuality.
A compelling memoir by an urban minister and community development
practitioner with more than thirty years of experience in the
field.
God's Story, Our Story is an introduction to Christian faith from
an Anabaptist perspective. It can be used in a group of people
considering baptism, or by someone who just wants to mull over
faith questions on their own before--or even after--they say yes to
God's Story.
This sourcebook of primary texts illustrates the history of
Christianity from Nicaea to St. Augustine and St. Patrick. It
covers all major persons and topics in the "golden age" of Greek
and Latin patristics. This standard collection, still unsurpassed,
is now available to a wider North American audience.
