Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Very interesting, it's all about not alienating people before they even think about crossing the threshold of where you worship.' Chris Evans, BBC Radio 2 Do you feel more at home on the edges of faith than at the centre? Would you call yourself a bit of a black sheep? Too often Christian spirituality has been associated with conformity, or a subculture where people don't feel able to ask questions. But Dave Tomlinson, author of How to be a bad Christian, doesn't think it has to be like this; instead, our spiritual communities can be 'laboratories of the Spirit' - places where we can explore issues of faith and spirit with openness, imagination and creativity. Welcome to black sheep spirituality - where doubts and questions are an essential part of faith; where difference of opinion is a sign of a secure community; where divine revelation is embraced wherever it is found - in the arts, science and the natural world as well as religious tradition; and where faith is something that is lived and practised rather than embalmed in beliefs or ritual. 'Theology for anyone and everyone' BBC Radio 2
Book Synopsis The 23rd Psalm For Black Sheep by : Robin Gray-Strickland
Download or read book The 23rd Psalm For Black Sheep written by Robin Gray-Strickland and published by Pleasant Word. This book was released on 2004-07-01 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does a woman with five ex-husbands and a live-in boyfriend have in common with a greedy tax collector? They were both black sheep from the Bible who were sought out by the Good Shepherd. Throughout the gospels, Jesus seemed drawn to people on the fringes of society, and went to great lengths to find them. There are members in the body of Christ who still suffer from the "black sheep" complex. The single mother who has experienced more than one failed marriage, the recovering alcoholic who still struggles with his addiction, and the heartbroken spouse of a cocaine addict will know exactly what the "black sheep" complex is. Often these people suffer in silence, unable to discuss these real life issues with other Christians. That person may be sitting in the pew next to you. That person may even be you. In this book, the 23rd Psalm serves as an outline as we take a closer look at the heart of the Good Shepherd from the unique perspective of the black sheep. Join these misfits from the gospels and their contemporary counterparts as they finally discover their place in living day to day beneath the Shepherd's grace. Within His grace is a place of joyous belonging and perfect peace for anyone who has ever believed they never really "fit in" anywhere.

Download or read book Vicar written by Alan Bartlett and published by SPCK. This book was released on 2019-08-15 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on the resources of Classic Anglicanism, Vicar offers a clear theological vision for the future. For thirty years, the Church has been talking about the oncoming challenges of providing ordained ministers to lead and enable local churches. Now long overdue structural change is really happening: but those at the sharp end – ‘vicars’ – are often bewildered and demoralized. This book celebrates the tradition of English Anglican ordained pastoral ministry; it also affirms the value of vicars’ ministry and way of life, and the great gift they have for relating to our communities and churches. The ‘vicar’ (parish priest, pastor, minister) still leads people – those who ‘come to church’ and those who don’t – in prayer and praise, cares for them in their sufferings and rejoices with them in their joys. This deep wisdom has sustained the Church for centuries. Yet, the questions must be asked: how can we be better equipped to make prudent decisions about the way church ministry has to evolve now? How can we meet the evident need in our parishes for an institutional church?
Book Synopsis The Routledge Research Companion to the History of Evangelicalism by : Andrew Atherstone
Download or read book The Routledge Research Companion to the History of Evangelicalism written by Andrew Atherstone and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-07-11 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evangelicalism, an inter-denominational religious movement that has grown to become one of the most pervasive expressions of world Christianity in the early twenty-first century, had its origins in the religious revivals led by George Whitefield, John Wesley and Jonathan Edwards in the middle decades of the eighteenth century. With its stress on the Bible, the cross of Christ, conversion and the urgency of mission, it quickly spread throughout the Atlantic world and then became a global phenomenon. Over the past three decades evangelicalism has become the focus of considerable historical research. This research companion brings together a team of leading scholars writing broad-ranging chapters on key themes in the history of evangelicalism. It provides an authoritative and state-of-the-art review of current scholarship, and maps the territory for future research. Primary attention is paid to English-speaking evangelicalism, but the volume is transnational in its scope. Arranged thematically, chapters assess evangelicalism and the Bible, the atonement, spirituality, revivals and revivalism, worldwide mission in the Atlantic North and the Global South, eschatology, race, gender, culture and the arts, money and business, interactions with Roman Catholicism, Eastern Christianity, and Islam, and globalization. It demonstrates evangelicalism’s multiple and contested identities in different ages and contexts. The historical and thematic approach of this research companion makes it an invaluable resource for scholars and students alike worldwide.

Book Synopsis The Prodigals by : Milton C Cantellay, Jr
Download or read book The Prodigals written by Milton C Cantellay, Jr and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-26 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Prodigals is not a classic dystopian fiction or EMP fiction The Raydon family are not trapped in an authoritarian society where they have to survive against an oppressive government. The premise is one of a societal collapse where the familiar and comfortable have been suddenly jerked away, and people are left to deal with the aftermath. An aftermath that blurs the lines between conventional norms of behavior in civil society and what is now required to survive. Many books are currently being published that examines the total collapse of America. Stories where all hope is lost, and what was before will not return. My book is written from a different perspective. Even though the US has been severely impacted, the vast majority of people still hope that the old way of life will return. In fact, the government is still operating but is so pressed by events on a global scale that it must subjugate the homeland to its secondary priority.This novel, the first in its series, is a family saga. It looks at a family spread out across the state of Washington as they attempt to make it back to the family ranch tucked away in a remote location. Their circumstances are complicated by the attack that has been launched, a coordinated EMP attack by North Korea and Iran that has decimated the civilian infrastructure. The American military is still a functioning force and very capable, but must first deal with the external threat or risk losing the country entirely. That situation means that cities must adjust to this reality with little assistance from the hampered Federal government. This quickly becomes an impossible task for large cities already overburdened with crowding, homelessness, drug abuse, and gangs. Although most people are confident that recovery will happen, they must, nevertheless, deal with the immediate impact of no sanitation, no medical care, no power, no transportation, lack of food, and lack of security. There are those in this new reality that will make every attempt to profit from it, those that will simply try to survive it, those that will fight back against it, and those that will band together to make the best of it. The Raydon family are not preppers or survivalists. They simply realize that the best place to be is united. Together they can try to ride things out until the country can recover, and order is restored. Each member of the family begins the journey home in the dark. Literally, as the EMP has turned off most of the lights, but figuratively as well. They are in the dark about each other, not knowing how others in the family are doing, even after joining together in the dark about the future. Each of us can relate to the drama as we ponder what would happen within our own families should the unthinkable strike.

Book Synopsis Praying Prodigals Home by : Quin Sherrer
Download or read book Praying Prodigals Home written by Quin Sherrer and published by Gospel Light Publications. This book was released on 2000-10-04 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The enemy has used the temptations of this world to lure so many of our young people away from the values and teaching of their Christian upbringing. Best-selling authors Quin Sherrer and Ruthanne Garlock have both endured the pain of waiting for the return of prodigal children. Yet even as they gave each situation into the hands of the Lord, they did not wait passively, succumbing to fear and despair. Instead they battled for their children in prayer, waiting expectantly for Almighty God to intervene. And He did! Now they tell the parents of prodigals how to pray their prodigals home, and how the experience can draw parents into the arms of their heavenly Father and strengthen their bonds of love.
Book Synopsis Generation Ex-Christian by : Drew Dyck
Download or read book Generation Ex-Christian written by Drew Dyck and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Young people aren’t walking away from the church—they’re sprinting. According to a recent study by Ranier Research, 70 percent of youth leave church by the time they are 22 years old. Barna Group estimates that 80 percent of those reared in the church will be “disengaged” by the time they are 29 years old. Unlike earlier generations of church dropouts, these “leavers” are unlikely to seek out alternative forms of Christian community such as home churches and small groups. When they leave church, many leave the faith as well. Drawing on recent research and in-depth interviews with young leavers, Generation Ex-Christian will shine a light on this crisis and propose effective responses that go beyond slick services or edgy outreach. But it won’t be easy. Christianity is regarded with suspicion by the younger generation. Those who leave the faith are often downright cynical. To make matters worse, parents generally react poorly when their children go astray. Many sink into a defensive crouch or go on the attack, delivering homespun fire-and-brimstone sermons that further distance their grown children. Others give up completely or take up the spiritual-sounding “all we can do is pray” mantra without truly exploring creative ways to engage their children on matters of faith. Some turn to their churches for help, only to find that they frequently lack adequate resources to guide them. This is where Generation Ex-Christian will lend a hand. It will equip and inspire parents, church leaders, and everyday Christians to reawaken the prodigal's desire for God and set him or her back on the road to a dynamic faith. The heart of the book will be the raw profiles of real-world, young ex-Christians. No two leavers are identical, but upon close observation some categories emerge. The book will identify seven different kinds of leavers (the postmodern skeptic, the drifter, the neopagan, etc.) and offer practical advice for how to connect with each type. Shrewd tips will also intersperse the chapters alerting readers to opportunities for engagement, and to hidden landmines they must sidestep to effectively reach leavers.
Book Synopsis The Prodigal God by : Timothy Keller
Download or read book The Prodigal God written by Timothy Keller and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2008-10-30 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestselling author of The Prodigal Prophet uncovers the essential message of Jesus, locked inside his most familiar parable. Newsweek called renowned minister Timothy Keller "a C.S. Lewis for the twenty-first century" in a feature on his first book, The Reason for God. In that book, he offered a rational explanation of why we should believe in God. Now, in The Prodigal God, Keller takes his trademark intellectual approach to understanding Christianity and uses the parable of the prodigal son to reveal an unexpected message of hope and salvation. Within that parable Jesus reveals God's prodigal grace toward both the irreligious and the moralistic. This book will challenge both the devout and skeptics to see Christianity in a whole new way.
