Mark's gospel has an urgency to it that's hard to ignore. It's as if he is breathless, trying to get the information out as quickly as he can. A few decades have passed since Jesus' ministry, and with persecution intensifying, some believers were tempted to compromise or simply give up on being a follower of the Messiah. So, Mark needed to take the early Christians back to the basics and get them ready to move! In this six-session study (video streaming code included), pastor Jeff Manion takes you and your group through the gospel of Mark to answer such urgent questions about the Christian faith as: Who is this Jesus? What does he expect of me? Is suffering a normal part of the Christian life? What will encourage and strengthen my trust in Jesus? These questions are not born of a lack of faith but serve to strengthen and stabilize our relationship with the Savior. So, lace up your running shoes. Open your heart and mind. And come with your questions! Get ready to move as Mark's Gospel reveals what it means to follow Jesus. This study guide has everything you need for a full Bible study experience, including: The study guide itself-a 40 Day reading plan through Mark with discussion and personal reflection questions, video notes, and a leader's guide.

Walk Out Of Financial Darkness is a fun and entertaining story that allows you to take a journey with Annie, a young woman not unlike many Americans today. She has maxed-out credit cards, pays bills late because she refuses to open her mail, and feels as if she is drowning where money is concerned. When Annie feels there is no hope left, an unexpected helper named Simon arrives, to teach her ten lessons on basic money management. Instead of lecturing, he creates situations that she must experience. This method will allow Annie, and you, to easily understand how the financial concept works and how it could be applied to your situation. Vanessa Derrico won multiple awards, including First Year Top Achiever, while working as a financial advisor. During that experience, she found her true passion was financial education, not getting a set number of clients or a specific amount of funds to manage. She discovered there were many people who needed help with financial basics. Helping people learn those basic concepts, however, was not the focus of her financial training. Vanessa has met with thousands of individuals since 2005, while facilitating seminars, classes, and one-on-one coaching. She has tested how basic financial concepts work, how to explain them to others and what pitfalls to avoid. All of her experience gained in executing these concepts in her own household and with the people she has helped has gone into creating Walk Out Of Financial Darkness as an easy to read, fun financial book.

In this study, Michael Hryniuk develops a full phenomenological, psychological and theological account of spiritual transformation in the context of L'Arche, a federation of Christian communities that welcome persons with learning disabilities. The book begins with a critical examination of current perspectives on spiritual transformation in theology and Christian spirituality and constructs a new, foundational formulation of transformation as a shift in consciousness, identity and behavior. Through extensive analysis of the narratives of the caregiver-assistants who share life with those who are disabled, this case-study reveals an alternative vision of the "three-fold way" that unfolds through a series of profound awakenings in relationships of mutual care and presence: an awakening to the capacity to love, to bear inner anguish and darkness, and to experience radical human and divine acceptance. The book examines the psychological dimensions of spiritual transformation through the lens of contemporary affect theory and explores how care-givers experience a profound healing of shame in their felt sense of identity and self-worth.

Journey through the biblical stories of the early Christian movement, and see what kind of wild adventures await those who truly believe Jesus. Throughout the book of Acts, believing Jesus and what he said is the core value that marked every believer in the first church. Because they believed Jesus, the early Christians were willing to risk everything-their comfort, their homes, even their lives. In this eight-session video Bible study (streaming included), Lisa Harper launches into the book of Acts to discover how Jesus' command to spread the gospel changed the lives of those who believed and shaped the culture that surrounded the growing church. At the end of this journey together, not only will you have studied this wild, adventurous, risk-taking book of the Bible; but you'll see how God supernaturally orchestrated the events in Scripture to bring about the message of salvation that the early believers preached. Today, we are faced with the same risks. Will we truly believe the words of Jesus and allow them to transform every part of our lives?
