Book Synopsis Bridging the Gaps by : Tara Hefferan
Download or read book Bridging the Gaps written by Tara Hefferan and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2009 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As neoliberal philosophies and economic models spread across the globe, faith-based non-governmental ("third-sector") organizations have proliferated. They increasingly fill the gaps born of state neglect by designing and delivering social services and development programming. This collection shines a much-needed critical light onto these organizations by exploring the varied ways that faith-based organizations attempt to mend the fissures and mitigate the effects of neoliberal capitalism and development practices on the poor and powerless. The essays--grounded in empirical case studies--cover such topics as the meaning of "faith-based" development, evaluations of faith-based versus secular approaches, the influence of faith-orientation on program formulation and delivery, and examinations of faith-based organizations' impacts on structural inequality and poverty alleviation. Bridging the Gaps demonstrates the vital importance of ethnography for understanding the particular role of faith-based agencies in Latin America, revealing both the promise and the limitations of this "new" mode of development.

Book excerpt: Bridging Theory and Practice in Children's Spirituality explores the different contexts, methods, and situations that influence and foster a child's spirituality and faith development. Through a blend of theoretical understanding held in tension with practical application, it equips those who are in, or being prepared for, the varied contexts where children are spiritually formed. It represents a broad range of Christian expression writing from a Christ-centered perspective that furthers the conversation about the next steps in children's spirituality and faith development. Moving beyond the basics of faith nurture and what makes for effective ministry, this resource deepens our understanding of the practices in children's lives by bringing together the best of theory and practice and includes contributions from: Dr. Scottie May (Wheaton College) Dr. Kevin Lawson (Biola University) Dr. Erik Carter (Vanderbilt University) John Roberto (Vibrant Faith) Dr. Dana Kennamer Pemberton (Abilene Christian University) Dr. Shirley Morganthaler (Concordia University - Chicago) Dr. Holly Catterton Allen (Lipscomb University) Dr. Robert Keeley (Calvin College and Calvin Seminary) Dr. Mimi Larson (Wheaton College) Lacy Finn Borgo ( Renovaré Institute) and others.

Yet often they are unsure about which current trends should be embraced. This book will help equip these people with the grounding needed to evaluate trends and with specific suggestions for moving forward. With short, accessibly written chapters it helps pastors and leaders stay up to date with current trends and is an excellent resource for teaching in college and seminary classrooms.

Download or read book Eden’s Bridge written by David B. Doty and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eden's Bridge: The Marketplace in Creation and Mission explores a biblically based theology of the marketplace implicit in the creation narrative of Genesis 1-2. The thesis validates the calling and ministry of all marketplace Christians. David Doty invites readers to rethink and redirect the purposes of vocation, trade, and profit toward the purposes of God's Kingdom, as they were revealed in the beginning and are to be restored in Christ's reign. This book is eye-opening and inviting as it explores how God is moving to reclaim the marketplace for His Kingdom, and His redeeming purposes for the world of commerce. The marketplace holds untold potential if business is conducted according to God's plan: poverty can be eradicated, abundant living can be shared among all people, and shalom can prevail. Eden's Bridge offers hope for recovering from the recent collapse of the global economic system by envisioning a new view of how wealth is made and how the marketplace is yet to serve God's purposes in His mission to the world.
Book Synopsis Building a Better Bridge by : Michael Ipgrave
Download or read book Building a Better Bridge written by Michael Ipgrave and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2008-11-10 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building a Better Bridge is a record of the fourth "Building Bridges" seminar held in Sarajevo in 2005 as part of an annual symposium on Muslim-Christian relations cosponsored by Georgetown University and the Archbishop of Canterbury. This volume presents the texts of the public lectures with regional presentations on issues of citizenship, religious believing and belonging, and the relationship between government and religion—both from the immediate situation in Bosnia-Herzegovina and from three contexts further afield: Britain, Malaysia, and West Africa. Both Christian and Muslim scholars propose key questions to be faced in addressing the issue of the common good. How do we approach the civic sphere as believers in particular faiths and as citizens of mixed societies? What makes us who we are, and how do our religious and secular allegiances relate to one another? How do we accommodate our commitment to religious values with acknowledgment of human disagreement, and how can this be expressed in models of governance and justice? How are we, mandated by scriptures to be caretakers, to respond to the current ecological and economic disorder of our world? Michael Ipgrave and his contributors do not claim to provide definitive answers to these questions, but rather they further a necessary dialogue and show that, while Christian and Islamic understandings of God may differ sharply and perhaps irreducibly, the acknowledgment of one another as people of faith is the surest ground on which to build trust, friendship, and cooperation.

Download or read book The Local Church written by Edward Klink and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2021-10-27 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How God Ministers to His People and the World through the Local Church The church is more than coffee with friends—it's a meaningful gathering of Christians that involves fellowship and growing in biblical truth. Given the rise of the internet and the availability of streaming church services, many ministry leaders and church members are asking questions about the purpose and mission of the local church: What is the church? Why does the church exist? How does the church function? What is the connection between the Christian and the church? Pastor and trusted scholar Edward Klink III addresses these questions and more with a thoughtful assessment of what the Bible has to say about God's intention for the local church body. Klink stresses its importance as God's way of revealing his presence, displaying his power, fulfilling his purposes, and manifesting his activity in the world. In today's hyperindividualized culture, this book not only demonstrates why it's vital for individuals to connect to a local church, but also reveals why it's vital to God's work in the world.

Book Synopsis Overwhelmed by Grace by : Brian Anderson
Download or read book Overwhelmed by Grace written by Brian Anderson and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2008-10 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every Christian has been saved by Gods grace, but many believers have never grasped the glory of that grace. Can Gods grace be resisted? Will it cause the believer to endure in faith? How is it related to divine election? Did Christ in His death have a particular group of people in mind? Brian Anderson in Overwhelmed By Grace meets a widespread need for the doctrines of grace to be clearly, simply, and Biblically explained for all believers. By the time you are done reading this book, you may also be overwhelmed by grace! Here is a well-reasoned, readable, Biblical explanation of the doctrines of grace. Many Christians find these truths difficult to wrestle with, and unfortunately there is a dearth of material that explains them well. Too many who attempt the task get bogged down in philosophical and historical arguments before they ever deal clearly with the Biblical data. Brian Anderson avoids that pitfall and focuses his energies instead on simply giving a clear and understandable presentation of what Scripture teaches. I am very grateful for his wonderful, straightforward, and above all Biblical treatment of these crucial doctrines. John F. MacArthur, Jr. Pastor, Grace Community Church, Sun Valley, California President, Masters College and Masters Seminary Brian Anderson has written a solid, readable, engaging and very clear book for those who want to understand the nature of Gods grace in the salvation of the lost. I warmly recommend it. Dr. John H. Armstrong Founder and President, Act 3 Brian Anderson served from 1990 to 2000 as the teaching pastor of a Bible church in Milpitas, California. Since that time he has been planting and overseeing house churches in Sonora, California.
