Building on the solid foundation laid in Becoming a Contagious Christian, Just Walk Across the Room signals the next era in personal evangelism. Pastor Bill Hybels s firm conviction is that the highest value in personal evangelism is being attuned to and cooperative with the promptings of the Holy Spirit. This means playing only the role you are intended to play---walking when the Spirit says to walk, talking when the Spirit says to talk, and falling silent when the Spirit suggests that you ve already said enough. More than two thousand years ago, Jesus himself introduced the perfect model for evangelism. He left the marvelous adoration of the angels and the perfection of heaven, and he chose to walk clear across the cosmos. He had no memorized script, no forced formulas. Instead, he was armed only with an offer of redemption to people just like you and me, many of whom were neck-deep in pain of their own making. Today, the goal for every Christian is to reflect Christ s love and follow his example by taking simple walks across rooms---leaving our circles of comfort and extending hands of care, compassion, and inclusiveness to people living far from God. Hybels encourages Christ-followers to live in 3-D ---developing friendships, discovering stories, and discerning appropriate next steps---as a means of learning to understand the Spirit s promptings. With fresh perspectives from his own reflections and experiences collected during his most recent decade of ministry. Hybels shows with undeniable clarity the power of this approach to evangelism. The stakes are high. The implications are eternal. And you may be only a conversation away from having unparalleled impact on someone s life---if you will just walk across the room."

'Full of profound insights ... These meditations on Christ's Passion culminate in a completely convincing understanding of the Resurrection. Rolheiser's great gift is to make faith real. This deserves to become a classic.' - The Tablet Daily readings from Lent, from one of today's most influential spiritual writers. When we think of Jesus' passion and crucifixion, we often think of his physical suffering and death. But the Gospels themselves do not emphasise Jesus' physical sufferings; instead, the Gospel writers want us to understand Jesus as a faithful lover of humanity, who undergoes moral and emotional suffering without resentment or bitterness. Drawing from Scripture, story, theology, contemporary culture and his own life, Fr Ronald Rolheiser - one of the most influential spiritual writers of our day - invites us to a new understanding of redemption, and offers profound insights into the meaning of our own loss and suffering.

The miracles and mighty acts that God has performed

in the past make up the history that we Christians

cherish today. Those stories from the Bible should serve

to encourage and strengthen us. And yet we are totally

wrong if we think that the miracles of God are relegated

to the past.

The mighty acts He is doing in our time will make up the

history of tomorrow. If the Lord tarries, we will have an

opportunity to convey in detail to our grandchildren what

God has done in our generation. Only if we remember all

His benefits can we pass this wonderful knowledge down

to future generations.

In this book, Roberts gives his insights on the importance

of learning to bless the Lord and how to let go of your

past in order to move ahead. Discover the blessings that

God has waiting for you.

The Interlinear Bible is really two Bibles in one. It combines the King James Version of 1611 with its first authorised successor, the Revised Version of 1885. The usual method for comparing two translations is to print the text in two parallel columns. In the Interlinear Bible, where the two texts are identical, only one line of type appears. Where there is any deviation, the RV is given as an upper line of smaller type, and the KJV as the lower line. This method immediately indicates where variations exist, yet it is possible to read either version with ease. * text of the KJV and the RV combined * cross-references from the RV * footnotes from the KJV and the RV * alphabetically arranged blank index pages * Bible Companion (a reading guide for each day of the year) * extra ruled paper for the reader's notes * 15 colour maps and a map index * list of variant readings preferred by the American Standard Version translation committee

"Our generation needs a reformation. "
"But a single person won't lead it."
"A single event won't define it. "
"Our reformation will be a movement of reformers living creatively, compassionately, courageously for the cause of Christ."
" "
"This reformation will not be born of a new discovery. It will be the rediscovery of something old, something ancient. "
" "
"Something primal."
" "
"--"Mark Batterson, "Primal"
What would your Christianity look like if it was stripped down to the simplest, rawest, purest faith possible? You would have more, not less. You would have the beginning of a new reformation--in your generation, your church, your own soul. You would have "primal" Christianity.
This book is an invitation to become part of a reformation movement. It is an invitation to rediscover the compassion, wonder, curiosity, and energy that turned the world upside down two thousand years ago. It is an invitation to be astonished again.
