"Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy." Yeah, right.
Sabbath-keeping seems quaint in our 24/7, twenty-first century
world. Life often feels impossibly full, what with work, to-do
lists, kid activities, chores, and errands. And laundry... always
and forever laundry. But the Sabbath isn't just one of the ten
commandments; it is a delight that can transform the other six days
of the week. Join one family's quest to take Sabbath to heart and
change their frenetic way of living by keeping a Sabbath day each
week for one year. With lively and compelling prose, MaryAnn
McKibben Dana documents their experiment with holy time as a guide
for families of all shapes and sizes. Tips are included in each
chapter to help make your own Sabbath experiment successful.
While praying for his community on the Island of Iona, the Celtic
monk St. Columba described his experience as a thin place- a
location where heaven and earth seemed only thinly separated.In the
same way, God's kingdom is being realized here on earth with
stories of restoration and redemption. Our God moved into the
neighborhood, seeking to invite us into his story of
reconciliation, and commission us to missionally engage our
neighborhoods with the good news of the kingdom.Joining the
concepts of monasticism and mission, author Jon Huckins will walk
you through six postures of missional formation: listening,
submerging, inviting, contending, imagining, and entrusting. As you
begin to employ these postures, become apprentices of Jesus who are
committed to living in and experiencing the thin places.Through
Thin Places, create a fertile soil to commune with God, live in
deep community with others, and extend the good news of the kingdom
in your local contexts.
Dit is nie maklik om vandag ’n geestelike leier te wees nie. Roedolf Botha probeer die tye waarin ons leef navigeer aan die hand van die Markus-evangelie, met klem op die volgende kwessies: Hoe lei ons getrou aan die missie ons opgelê, wat is die ingesteldhede, aksies en toerusting wat ons nodig het en watter innerlike transformasie vra dit van ons? Hierdie toeganklike boek sal jou help om die duistere waters van ons deurmekaar tye die hoof te bied. “Roedolf Botha neem ons op ’n boeiende reis deur die Markusevangelie om die hartklop van egte leierskap ver en diep te ontgin” - Stephan Joubert
