Book excerpt: In Building Unity in the Church of the New Millennium, Dr. Dwight Perry and twenty other scholars and practitioners address discrimination specifically within the evangelical church. But they do not deal solely with racial discrimination, but also gender, age, physical disability and class discrimination. "Dr. Dwight Perry and a diverse group of gifted contributing authors use great insight and wisdom in dealing with key contemporary issues that threaten unity within the Body of Christ. Building Unity in the Church f the New Millennium is sure to awaken in the heart of every believer a desire for oneness and true scriptural unity. It is a must-read for Christian leaders who are serious about reconciliation and building bridges that will unite the fractured church." Dr. Joseph Stowell, President, Cornerstone University "This book leads us to a new, more holistic way of understanding just what it is that separates us as Christians as well a how we can work for a more united church." - Elisa Morgan, President Emerita, MOPS International "My dear friend Dr. Dwight Perry has done the body of Christ an invaluable service in putting together Building Unity in the Church of the New Millennium ... The authors speak from a biblical perspective on issues that have fragmented and divided the church ... This is a clear, compelling call to pursue and demonstrate the unity of the body of Christ ... You must read this book!" - Dr. Crawford Loritts, Jr., Senior Pastor, Fellowship Bible Church, Roswell, GA; Author; Speaker; Radio Host; former Associate Director, Campus Crusade for Christ, USA

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I pray . . . that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. . . . May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me." --Jesus Christ What if? What if believers of multiple ethnicities manifested the diversity in unity for which Jesus prayed? What if largely separate, homogeneous congregations--which account for nearly 92.5 percent of all churches in the United States--increasingly became connected, multiethnic congregations? What if, at eleven o'clock on Sunday mornings--or whenever believers gather to worship--local congregations were comprised of believing whites, African Americans, Koreans, Hispanics, Romanians, Native Americans, as well as the diverse mosaic of other ethnicities represented in our increasingly multicultural society? Would this not say something about the supernatural character of the gospel of reconciliation we proclaim? Jesus believed it would. That is why after praying for such diversity in unity among his followers, Jesus Christ--the Man for all nations--extended his arms and laid down his life to make it happen. This book, God's New Humanity, examines the biblical-theological vision and motivation for living in response to Jesus' prayer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maybe you long for a more intimate prayer life or deeper insight from God's Word but just don't know how to get there. Or maybe you want to learn about new spiritual disciplines like visio divina, unplugging or attentiveness. In Spiritual Disciplines Handbook Adele Calhoun gives us directions for our continuing journey toward intimacy with Christ. While the word discipline may make us want to run and hide, the author shows how desires and discipline work together to lead us to the transformation we're longing for—the transformation only Christ can bring. Instead of just giving information about spiritual disciplines, this handbook is full of practical, accessible guidance that helps you actually practice them. With over 80,000 copies in print, this well-loved catalog of seventy-five disciplines has been revised throughout and expanded to include thirteen new disciplines along with a new preface by the author. Mothers, fathers, plumbers, nurses, students—we're all on a journey. And spiritual disciplines are for all of us who desire to know Christ deeply and be like him. Here is direction for our desire, leading us to the ultimate destination: more of Christ himself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many years, cross-cultural missions were directed to people in the countries of their birth, generally in Majority World areas. Foreigners present among or around the intended focus of ministry were not viewed as part of mission ministry. Diaspora missions focus on these peoples, who are now actually and virtually in more accessible places. This book will help you understand the dynamics behind this accelerated movement of peoples from one region to another, biblical principles and precedents that guide ministry today, the application of social and communication studies, and actual cases of ministry to and with diaspora peoples.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our nation used to look at violence, poverty, and gentrification and assign those problems to urban centers. Today, these issues concern the suburbs, too. The Christian community is responding to this reality. Churches and parachurch ministries are actively working to transform lives and restore communities throughout the city and suburbs. In A Heart for the Community: New Models for Urban and Suburban Ministry, you will be challenged by a collection of voices seeking community renewal. These individuals are involved in creative church planting initiatives, and they are serving the growing Hispanic and Muslim populations. Additional endeavors include serving racially changing communities, economic development strategies, and more. As anyone who has been in ministry for any length of time can attest, tackling some of the most challenging issues of our times is no mere academic exercise. The voices within these pages write from experience and offer workable, vibrant models of ministry that make a difference.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is sometimes said that the most segregated time of the week in the United States is Sunday morning. Even as workplaces and public institutions such as the military have become racially integrated, racial separation in Christian religious congregations is the norm. And yet some congregations remain stubbornly, racially mixed. People of the Dream is the most complete study of this phenomenon ever undertaken. Author Michael Emerson explores such questions as: how do racially mixed congregations come together? How are they sustained? Who attends them, how did they get there, and what are their experiences? Engagingly written, the book enters the worlds of these congregations through national surveys and in-depth studies of those attending racially mixed churches. Data for the book was collected over seven years by the author and his research team. It includes more than 2,500 telephone interviews, hundreds of written surveys, and extensive visits to mixed-race congregations throughout the United States. People of the Dream argues that multiracial congregations are bridge organizations that gather and facilitate cross-racial friendships, disproportionately housing people who have substantially more racially diverse social networks than do other Americans. The book concludes that multiracial congregations and the people in them may be harbingers of racial change to come in the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ONE GENERATION FROM EXTINCTION! There is a drastic shift in the national culture and churches today; which if not countered can make Christ extinct in one generation! In the midst of this shift many Christians have become confused and are blurring their kingdom mission, biblical worldview and life of godliness. Meanwhile, recent research reflects some 2 billion people in the world who have never heard the saving gospel of Jesus Christ; and billions more caught up in false religions. In the shift many Christians individually and corporately are failing in their responsibility to pass on the faith, wisdom, and godly example to the next generation. Failure to do so in one generation will remove Christ and Christianity from the next generation (s). To meet this challenge we must radically restore the faith (see Jude 3) for the final hour: Restore [agape] love for God and others in the Church Restore and teach a true biblical worldview in the Church Restore biblical salvation and a daily walk with Christ in the Church Restore total dependence upon the Holy Spirit in the Church The secular worldview secures more Christian casualties daily. But by His divine power, God has given us all things that pertain to a life of godliness ..... (see 2 Peter 1:3).

Book excerpt: The Language of Diversity is an orchestrated effort of twenty-eight contributing authors, an editor, and three co-editors across the United States and Canada, and the stellar list includes bestselling authors, scholars, academicians, businessmen, theologians, and healthcare providers. Steeped in the Christian worldview, the twenty-five essays are sectioned off into three areas. Section One is comprised of seven essays, which focus on topics that bridge the gap among racial, cultural, and religious differences in an effort to bring about a greater awareness of human diversity and civil charity. The five essays in Section Two examine interfaith relations among Christians, Muslims, and Mormons respectively. The selections provide a serious examination of the tenets of these faiths and pose many challenges among diverse faith-goers. Section Three entails thirteen essays that challenge readers to stretch behind the comforts of their boundaries to probe topics such as education and race; gender and hiring practices in higher education; the Christian church and race relations; implementation of a nursing practicum with a culturally-diverse perspective; a campaign to train credible business leaders in a global culture; etc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Never before in American history have we seen the number of African Americans teaching at Christian Colleges as we see today. Black Scholars in White Space highlights the recent research and scholarly contributions to various academic disciplines by some of America's history-making African American scholars working in Christian Higher Education. Many are the first African Americans or only African Americans teaching at their respective institutions. Moreover, never before have this many African American female scholars in Christian Higher Education had their research presented in a single, cross-disciplinary volume. The scholars in this book, spanning the humanities and social sciences, examine the issues in public policy, church/state relations, health care, women's issues in higher education, theological anthropology, affirmative action, and black history that need to be addressed in America as we move forward in the 21st century. For these reasons and more Black Scholars in White Space offers timely and historic contributions to the discourse about making the black community a place where men and women thrive and make contributions to the common good.

Book excerpt: CHANGE: is is the one thing you can count on in these exciting and discouraging times. Fueled by the bizarre pace of technological inovation, transitions are taking place in society and the church in ways that we have never seen before. Beginning with the fact of four generations living at the same time; each with their unique ideas and change; accompanied by a generational breakdown in understanding and communications. In the past the church was a reliable moral compass for society. But today with the self-imposed isolation inside the four walls of of brick, Satan is left to his device of blinding the minds of men lest they believe the glorious gospel of eternal salvation. He has been able to spread a cloak of darkness over our Western culture. Darkness is not knowing, the real purpose and nature of things. For example: What is the source of man and his world? Where have man and his world come from? What is the purpose of man in the world? Why do man and his world exist? What is the end of man and his world? Light is knowing, God and His Son, the authentic Jesus Christ, who stands as the Source of purpose and end of man and his world. Further, light is to know the truth and reality of man and his world that God created all for Himself. That He loves and saves all to live with Him eternally -- if we will only believe and trust Him. Today there is a tension between the world and the Word. The authentic Christ is the only hope for the world -- Give Me Jesus!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the end of a century which saw the rise of a world-wide movement for church unity, many observers would say that ecumenism has fallen on hard times. Among the churches which have historically been the mainstay of the ecumenical movement, many face the new millennium with uncertainty about their own identity and mission. This challenging book by the former general secretary of the World Council of Churches weaves together concerns and hopes he has heard expressed by church leaders around the world, insights that have emerged from ecumenical reflection on the church and on the world, and biblical images of the nature of the Christian community. The author outlines a vision of how the dynamism of the movement towards a world-wide fellowship of churches and of its institutional expression in bodies like the World Council might be rekindled in the face of the daunting challenges of the years ahead.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The word koinonia has gained prominence in recent ecumenical discussions. In this original and substantial work Lorelei Fuchs proposes the theological idea of koinonia, commonly translated as "communion" or "fellowship," as the key to moving fractured churches toward a future unity. Fuchs challenges churches to move beyond mere dialogue and to apply ecumenical insights at the local level. She begins by relating the exegetical meaning of koinonia to its ecumenical meaning, tracing the place of koinonia both within the churches and between the churches. She then examines the concept of koinonia in the extensive and fruitful dialogues that have taken place between Lutherans, Anglicans, and Roman Catholics, finally articulating a "symbolic competence for communionality" that provides a rich and workable way forward for church unity at all levels. Encompassing the latest in ecumenical thought, Koinonia and the Quest for an Ecumenical Ecclesiology provides a broad, thoughtful framework for realizing Christ's prayer "that all may be one . . . so that the world may believe."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can the Hippocratic and Judeo-Christian traditions be synthesized with contemporary thought about practical reason, virtue and community to provide real-life answers to the dilemmas of healthcare today? Bishop Anthony Fisher discusses conscience, relationships and law in relation to the modern-day controversies surrounding stem cell research, abortion, transplants, artificial feeding and euthanasia, using case studies to offer insight and illumination. What emerges is a reason-based bioethics for the twenty-first century; a bioethics that treats faith and reason with equal seriousness, that shows the relevance of ancient wisdom to the complexities of modern healthcare scenarios and that offers new suggestions for social policy and regulation. Philosophical argument is complemented by Catholic theology and analysis of social and biomedical trends, to make this an auspicious example of a new generation of Catholic bioethical writing which has relevance for people of all faiths and none.
