What makes thunder and lightning, and why do hurricanes do so much
damage? This book lays out the answers and much more, using
photographs, clear step-by-step illustrations and simple text.
At a time of declining church attendance, this book challenges us
to understand that evangelism is more important than ever. The
problem is that churches and their leaders often struggle with the
idea and concepts around evangelism, unsure of what might be
theologically or culturally appropriate ways to communicate the
message. This book aims to supply principles and strategies for
evangelism that are theologically rooted, practical and relevant to
the 21st century. It shows how Jesus and the early church did
evangelism and what we can learn from them for our situations.
There is lots of practical help from two experienced practitioners
to develop an evangelistic strategy for your church. It will also
encourage leaders at every level of the church to be leaders and
enablers in evangelism. The approach is theologically rigorous and
powerfully practical, with the focus on redefining a genuine
biblical evangelism. It will help you put foundations in place for
developing a sustainable strategy in your church so that you can
connect not just with those on the fringes but with those who are
way outside.
Song of the Open Road: An Autobiography and Other Writings is the
personal memoir of Paul Weston and Jo Stafford. Told through a
collection of letters, supplementary manuscripts, and a previously
unpublished autobiography, the book reveals the inner circle and
rise-to-stardom of two of the most dominating musical figures in
pre-rock 'n' roll America.
Synopsis: Lesslie Newbigin was one of the most significant
missionary strategists and theologians of the twentieth century.
With the breakdown of confidence in some of the central
philosophical and theological paradigms that have been shaped and
sustained by the culture of modernity, Newbigin's approach to a
genuinely missionary theology offers fresh insights and approaches,
providing something of a prophetic model for the global Christian
community in new and challenging times. In this collection of
essays, scholars and practitioners from around the world engage
with aspects of Newbigin's continuing legacy. They explore
Newbigin's approach to theological method, his theological and
philosophical account of Western culture in the light of the
gospel, and some of the implications of his thought for global
mission in the third millennium. This collection is essential
reading not just for Newbigin enthusiasts but also for all who are
concerned to develop a genuinely missionary encounter with
contemporary culture. Contributors: Ian Barns, John G. Flett,
Michael W. Goheen, Kenneth D. Gordon, Eleanor Jackson, Veli-Matti
Karkkainen, David J. Kettle, J. Andrew Kirk, Mark Laing, Murray
Rae, Martin Reppenhagen, Jurgen Schuster, Wilbert Shenk, Jenny
Taylor, Geoffrey Wainwright, Ng Kam Weng, and Paul Weston.
Endorsements: "All who face the challenge of re-evangelization of
the Western world draw inspiration from the work of Lesslie
Newbigin. We stand on the shoulders of a giant. Newbigin's thinking
provokes continual reengagement. I warmly recommend this insightful
collection as a resource for the mission of the church today."
--Graham Cray, Archbishops' Missioner and Leader, Fresh Expressions
Initiative, UK "No figure is more significant in the emergence of
the missional church movement than Lesslie Newbigin. In this
outstanding collection of essays, his contributions to
ecclesiology, mission, and theology are set forth and critically
assessed by an outstanding group of scholars and practitioners.
This is essential reading for all those interested in the missional
turn and its implications for Christian faith, life, and witness in
a pluralist and changing world." --John R. Franke, General
Coordinator, The Gospel and Our Culture Network "We are only
beginning to comprehend the breadth and depth of Lesslie Newbigin's
missionary theology. This book presents an impressive array of
compellingly written essays that help us begin to take the measure
of his achievement. It is most welcome." --Scot Sherman, President,
Newbigin House of Studies "For its journey in the perplexing and
thrilling territory of the post-Christian twenty-first century, the
church in the West and far beyond has no better traveling companion
than Lesslie Newbigin. In this book, some of the world's most
sensitive and incisive interpreters trace in almost kaleidoscopic
fashion the way Newbigin's central concerns and convictions
illumine a wide range of missional challenges. Here is a reliable
marker signaling how and why Newbigin's influence continues to
expand." --George R. Hunsberger, Professor of Missiology, Western
Theological Seminary
Missiologists and theologians do not often talk to each other,
which has resulted in increased ignorance of each other's questions
and concerns about how to do theology in ways that effectively
serve the Church's mission. Under the auspices of the Tyndale
Fellowship Christian Doctrine study group, a colloquium of
distinguished scholars and practitioners recently gathered at the
University of Cambridge. This volume, arising out of that
symposium, begins conversations that have been waiting to happen.
Each participant brings a particular perspective to questions about
the nature of theology and how it is most meaningfully constructed
so as to offer a truly interdisciplinary perspective on theology
and mission. It highlights perspectives of contextual theology and
systematic theology, as well as missiology and mission studies,
world Christianity and historical inquiry, biblical studies and
missional hermeneutics, ethnography, pastoral practice, and social
justice. It also pays keen attention to matters on the ground with
a profound desire to relate questions of evangelical identity -
including ministry practice and mission - to the wider tradition.
"Stunning. . . . a bit like if you took "Charlie and the Chocolate
Factory "and" Monsters Inc." and shoved them in a
TARDIS."--Buzzfeed
It's a tentacled, inventive, gooey, world in there. . . .
Elliot Von Doppler and his friend Leslie think nothing ever
happens in Bickleburgh, except inside the gleaming headquarters of
DENKi-3000--the world's eighth-largest electronics factory.
Beneath the glass towers and glittering skywalks, there's a
rambling old mansion from which all the company's amazing
inventions spring forth. And no one except Uncle Archie knows
what's behind the second-to-last door at the end of the hall.
Until Elliot and Leslie are invited to take a glimpse inside.
They find stooped, troll-like creatures with jutting jaws and
broken teeth. Tiny winged things that sparkle as they fly. And
huge, hulking, hairy nonhumans (with horns). It is unlike anything
they've ever seen.
But when Chuck Brickweather threatens to shut down the DENKi-3000
factory if a new product isn't presented soon, the creatures know
they are in danger. And when Uncle Archie vanishes, it's up to
Elliot, Leslie, and every one of the unusual, er, "employees" to
create an invention so astonishing it will save the Creature
Department.
