The Way of Blessedness, the third resource in the Companions in
Christ series, is an invitation for small group members to discover
and live in the kingdom of God. Each week is an exploration of one
of the Beatitudes from Matthew 5. Unlike other books on the
Beatitudes, The Way of Blessedness is threaded throughout with
spiritual practices that form participants spiritually while
informing them about scripture. This 9-week journey helps
participants empty themselves of pride so that they can be filled
with God's abundant love. As they are transformed by God's love,
they may become people who mourn with and for others and our world,
who understand and live out Jesus' example of meekness, who hunger
and thirst for holiness, who humbly offer and receive mercy, whose
hearts are pure and able to see the imprint of God in all things,
who seek peace, and who hold strong in our faith through adversity.
The Way of Blessedness guides participants along a path that offers
clarity to their way of life and the very life of God's kingdom.

The Way of Prayer is a 10-week resource designed to help people
expand their understanding of the nature and practice of prayer.
Many Christians grow up with a limited vision of what prayer is and
how to pray. The Way of Prayer offers many forms to explore and
practice, both individually and as a group. People with different
temperaments, spiritual types, and learning styles will each find
expressions of prayer that draw them closer to God. They will also
learn to integrate body, mind, and spirit in prayer, and to live a
more creative rhythm between the inner life and the outward journey
of service. This resource can help bring greater scope and vitality
into the prayer life of your congregation. Topics include:
How do you Pray?
Images of God?
Praying by Heart
Praying with Music
Praying by Gazing
Praying with Our Bodies
Scriptural Prayer
Contemplative Prayer
Praying with and for Others
Prayer and Social Transformation
- Small groups in local churches
- Companions in Christ customers
The sensational small-group series Companions in Christ is now
being offered in a new 5-piece Participant's Book set as well as
the traditional 1-piece Participant's Book. With the same great
daily exercise material and articles, the two different
Participant's Book styles allow your group to use the format that
best fits your time frame. The new 5-piece Participant's Book set
offers groups a convenient way to take breaks between modules. The
traditional 1-piece volume is still a great value for groups who
will continue their study together for 28 weeks.
This new six-week Companions in Christ study challenges Christians
from the viewpoint of a white South African pastor who has lived
through the political changes in that country and experienced with
rare vulnerability the spiritual struggles inherent in the
processes of truth-telling, reconciliation, deep pain, and poverty.
Trevor Hudson brings a message of vital, transforming spirituality
through knowing who we are, changing from the inside out, listening
to the groans of others, and discovering the deep spirituality of
belonging.
The 28-week basic Companions in Christ experience looks at five
major parts of the Christian life:
-Embracing the Journey: an exploration of spiritual formation
-Feeding on the Word: an introduction to several ways of meditating
on and praying with scripture
-Deepening Our Prayer: a guided experience of various classic forms
and styles of prayer
-Responding to Our Call: a presentation of gifts and call
-Exploring Spiritual Guidance: a journey through different ways of
giving and receiving spiritual guidance.
