Book Synopsis Becoming All Things by : Michelle Reyes
Download or read book Becoming All Things written by Michelle Reyes and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2021-04-27 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE 2022 ECPA CHRISTIAN BOOK AWARD FOR NEW AUTHOR Healthy relationships across cultures are possible. Dr. Michelle Reyes takes a close look at the concept of cultural accommodation found in Scripture—and especially in the letter of 1 Corinthians—to redefine how Christians interact with cultural narratives that are different from their own. Christians—whose standard of living is oneness in Christ, whose gospel is radically nonexclusive—should be at the frontlines of justice and of cross-cultural unity. But many of us struggle to reach outside of our own cultural bubbles and form real relationships that move beyond stereotypes and lead to understanding, healing, and solidarity across cultural lines. Why is that? Why is it so difficult to reconcile our call to be united in Christ with a celebration of different cultural expressions? What are the reasons for cultural differences and how do they so often lead to stereotyping, appropriation, gentrification, racism, and other forms of injustice? What does the Bible say about human beings as cultural image bearers? How do we reevaluate our awareness of culture identity in a healthy and constructive way? These are just some of the questions that Dr. Reyes explores as she faces the challenges surrounding cross-cultural relationships in America today and her thoughts on the way forward. Spoiler Alert! The way forward does require willingness to change. It requires embracing cultural discomfort. But by engaging with this book, you will be empowered to learn how to become all things to all people—that is: how to reflect Jesus' love in a multicultural, multiracial body of Christ and to share that love with a hurting world.

Book Synopsis Effective Intercultural Evangelism by : W. Jay Moon
Download or read book Effective Intercultural Evangelism written by W. Jay Moon and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2021-08-24 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a multicultural society. But Christians often do not know how to engage those of other faiths. As a result, many Christians hesitate to talk about Christianity with others in any kind of evangelistic way. Jay Moon and Bud Simon unpack the intercultural dynamics that Christians need to understand when encountering people from different communities and cultural backgrounds. Regarding evangelism from the perspective of four major worldviews (guilt/justice, shame/honor, fear/power, and indifference/belonging with purpose), this book demonstrates contextual evangelism approaches that are relevant, biblical, and practical. The authors draw on new research conducted with hundreds of participants that reveal concrete ways to communicate the gospel effectively across cultures. Sharing one's faith does not require attacking other religions; rather, we can engage at the worldview level in order to address people's deepest concerns. Greater understanding provides us with better skills for relational connection, empathy, and effective witness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “All the Feels could turn your 2020 around!” —Crosswalk.com Emotions—love them or hate them, we’ve all got them. And we’ve all got to figure out what to do with them. But wait—can we do anything about our emotions? Can we learn how to identify, express, experience—and yes, sometimes wrangle—our feelings in order to live a vibrant, healthy, fruitful life for Jesus? In All the Feels, author Elizabeth Laing Thompson uses her experiences as a big feeler to encourage and equip different kinds of feelers with the biblical perspectives, practical tools, and scriptural reservoir they need. As a woman who has lived every day of her life having All The Big Feelings All The Day Long, Elizabeth knows what it’s like to live life through our emotions—and how important it is to understand, take control of, and grow from those emotions. Whether you have a sensitive soul with more feelings than you know how to name, a logical personality that doesn’t quite know what to do with feelings, or a steady flow of emotions somewhere in the middle, All the Feels will help you discover your own God-designed “feelings style” and how it impacts your life and relationships, distinguish fact from feeling and figure out which feelings you can trust, and understand which emotional gifts God wants you to expand, explore, and enjoy. Get ready to throw open the doors of your heart, bringing God to your emotions and your emotions to God—the One who invented feelings and who always welcomes yours.

Book excerpt: The task of the church, no matter what tradition or history, is to live incarnationally. It is the model of service that Christ exhibited and calls us to follow.

The degree and pace of change dependupon each individual situation and its variables. But the necessity for change will not change.
Book Synopsis All Things to All People by : Louis DeThomasis
Download or read book All Things to All People written by Louis DeThomasis and published by ACTA Publications. This book was released on 2016-03-24 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The word but was used by Jesus often to clarify to his disciples his teaching was different from the conventional wisdom of the time: "But I say to you..." This was never more true when he was speaking about how the disciples (right up to today) were to act toward one another and toward those outside the group. Louis DeThomasis, a well-respected De La Salle Christian Brother and President Emeritus of St. Mary's University of Minnesota, uses this method of Jesus to look at the Catholic Church today and how it must change if it is to carry out the mission it has been given by its founder. "Even if at times the observations of this book may seem quite critical (or certainly at least impolitical or undiplomatic, given the clashes and tensions in the church today)," he insists, "I think it's about time that the People of God find the courage to speak out to all Jesus' followers and to all people of good faith, and to speak up to all institutional church leaders forcefully, although always with Christian love. Love for the church does not preclude criticism of or about the church. If we become 'one' in the church (as we pray every day in the Creed), it seems to me indisputable- whether we are conservative, moderate, or progressive by nature- that we desperately need to increase our knowledge and understanding of the gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ, in a caring, supportive, and loving Christian Spirit." Buckle up for an old-fashioned but good-spirited Catholic brawl about the future of the Catholic Church in the twenty-first century. You may not agree with every one of Brother Louis' arguments, but they will cause you to think about what kind of Church we need and want...or, better yet, what kind of church Jesus wants us to be.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A masterpiece in intercultural training! Exploring Culture brings Geert Hofstede's five dimensions of national culture to life. Gert Jan Hofstede and his co-authors Paul Pedersen and Geert Hofstede introduce synthetic cultures, the ten "pure" cultural types derived from the extremes of the five dimensions. The result is a playful book of practice that is firmly rooted in theory. Part light, part serious, but always thought-provoking, this unique book approaches training through the three-part process of building awareness, knowledge, and skills. It leads the reader through the first two components with more than 75 activities, dialogues, stories, and incidents. The Synthetic Culture Laboratory and two full simulations fulfill the skill-building component. Exploring Culture is suitable for students, trainers, coaches and educators. It can be used for individual study or as a text, and it serves as an excellent partner to Geert Hofstede's popular Cultures and Organizations.
Book Synopsis To Every People from Every People by : Dr. Larry D. Pate
Download or read book To Every People from Every People written by Dr. Larry D. Pate and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-04-22 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To Every People From Every People trains people to plant reproducing churches in the mainstream of unreached cultures around the world. There are over two billion people living in over seven thousand such cultures who will never have an adequate chance to know Christ as Lord and Savior unless someone plants churches in the mainstream of their culture and language group. This book teaches clearly and biblically about why that is important. More important, it teaches you how to do it. It focuses on practical subjects like how to learn another language without studying it in a school and how to make an effective strategy. It actually walks you through case studies with illustrations so you can get a mental picture of how to plant reproducing churches in the mainstream of any people group. An earlier version of this book was originally written specifically for Latin America. It was published by Editora Vida (Miami, Florida) in several editions of Spanish and Portuguese. It has long been the best-selling book of its kind for many years. This English edition has been revised and updated for a global English-speaking audience. Many thousands of people have used this book to plant new churches in other cultures and even in their own cultures. The anthropological, communications, and sociological principles in this book have also helped people understand the Bible better and how to apply its truths anywhere. Most of all, this book is designed to implant vision and passion for cross-cultural ministry in the mind and heart of the reader. It creates a mental image of how to do it. It is a powerful tool intended for the Holy Spirit to use to thrust forth dedicated and effective laborers into the unreached harvest fields of the world!
Book Synopsis Did God Really? Say by : Heino Weidmann
Download or read book Did God Really? Say written by Heino Weidmann and published by epubli. This book was released on 2022-01-20 with total page 925 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus Christ is calling you personally to walk on water with Him. -If you are already doing it, you will know why. -If you are not doing it yet, you will know how. -If you think you can't, let us convince you otherwise. In this book, you'll get a solid foundation from the Bible: What has God promised every Christian? And what has he not said? And how can what he has said become a reality in your life? In any case, you will study the Word of God intensively as never before. To sum up the message of these pages in one sentence is this: "Jesus Christ saves from the power of sin" Doesn't every serious Christian believe that? No, hardly any serious Christian believes that. In practice, we believe, "Jesus saves us from the guilt of sin. And mostly from greater sins. But not from lesser sins. And not so that we can truly and fundamentally have victory over sin." Behind this is a theological system of unbelief inspired by the words of the serpent, "Did God really say?" Instead of believing our heart and the Scriptures, in our theology we place ourselves outside of Christ in prison walls of unbelief, on which hopelessness stands as a sentry, watching that no one escapes from the dungeon of eternal defeat before sin. And the fortress of evil thus fortified can only be broken open and destroyed by the explosive power of the united words of God. Can we not live liberated through Jesus Christ to the glory of the Father without having to weep every day over 1000 failures? Do we not have a Savior who contends and conquers for us? Let us set out for a Reformation20.de! If you are already following Jesus and longing as a child of God to experience the power of your Savior in your everyday life, then read this book: Did God Really? Say. 95 theses on your victory over sin through Jesus Christ. Read more on https://95thesenteil2.de including free version of the book with online translation into English.
