He'd been outside playing grape soccer with his friends and he came inside for a nice snack of his Grand Mouse's sunflower seed cookies. On his way to the kitchen, he heard his Church Folks talking. He stopped in his tracks when he heard what they were saying. They were talking about closing the church forever! Perley knew he had to do something FAST or his family would have to find a new home.

Book excerpt: Lenny Duncan is the unlikeliest of pastors. Formerly incarcerated, he is now a black preacher in the whitest denomination in the United States: the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). Shifting demographics and shrinking congregations make all the headlines, but Duncan sees something else at work--drawing a direct line between the church's lack of diversity and the church's lack of vitality. The problems the ELCA faces are theological, not sociological. But so are the answers. Part manifesto, part confession, and all love letter, Dear Church offers a bold new vision for the future of Duncan's denomination and the broader mainline Christian community of faith. Dear Church rejects the narrative of church decline and calls everyone--leaders and laity alike--to the front lines of the churchÂs renewal through racial equality and justice. It is time for the church to rise up, dust itself off, and take on forces of this world that act against God: whiteness, misogyny, nationalism, homophobia, and economic injustice. Duncan gives a blueprint for the way forward and urges us to follow in the revolutionary path of Jesus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You've tried different worship styles, maybe even different congregations. Perhaps you've tried repeatedly to pray through your attitudes toward the church, but you can't seem to get past the feelings of sadness as you see the Church limp along, appearing broken in a sense. Each day that passes more and more people are living lost, with no sense of hope or purpose. The Church is God's plan for redeeming mankind and extending His hope. He's called us to partner with Him. As followers of Christ, those who make up congregations week after week, we were created for more. Free from the burden of legalism, we can learn to love more, surrender personal preferences, embrace our individual roles within God's Church. A love letter written to those who warm the pews week in and week out, designed to remind us we were created for more. Thirty days of devotional readings designed to challenge the committed Christian to become proactive in sharing their faith, reach for more in their relationship with God, and understand His/her role within God's greater story. Want to change the direction of your church? Do something different.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Lenny Duncan wrote Dear Church in 2018, they had a vision for a church that could and would reform itself into something new. After four years, a pandemic, a global uprising for racial equity, and what Duncan describes as "the death of the republic" on January 6, 2021, we now live in a vastly different landscape than the one Duncan wrote about previously. Lenny now contends that we no longer need a reformation--we need a revolution. Dear Revolutionaries is a handbook for a new generation that sees, clear-eyed, the series of catastrophes we have inherited, the road that lies ahead, and the improbability of victory, yet are still ready to build the tomorrow we so desperately want to be born in this world. The institutional church is concerned with reviving itself. God is concerned with reviving the community within and beyond the walls of the church. Dear Revolutionaries is a book for the community who is ready to rise up and build something new from the ashes. Casting a vision for a new spiritual future led by the people, Dear Revolutionaries offers a series of peace-building practices that will give readers the tools to build, guide, and care for spiritual community in a world beyond the church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jake Colsen, an overworked and disillusioned pastor, happens into a stranger who bears an uncanny resemblance (in manner) to the apostle John. A number of encounters with John as well as a family crisis lead Jake to a new understanding of what his life should be like: one filled with faith bolstered by a steady, close relationship with the God of the universe. Facing his own disappointment with Christianity, Jake must forsake the habits that have made his faith rote and rediscover the love that captured his heart when he first believed. Compelling and intensely personal, So You Don't Want to Go to Church Anything relates a man's rebirth from performance-based Christianity to a loving friendship with Christ that affects all he does, thinks, and says. As John tells Jake, "There is nothing the Father desires for you more than that you fall squarely in the lap of his love and never move from that place for the rest of your life."

You won't know when I will come to you." Revelation 3:3Dear Church - Wake up!! The midnight hour for believers in Jesus Christ is almost here! A lot of the Christian Church today appears asleep and all comfy cosy. But a time is coming when they will need to be the people that God has truly called them to be... Paul when writing to his young friend Timothy described people in the last days as lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God- having a form of godliness but denying its power.The issues we look at inside certainly covers that description by the Apostle Paul. Inside we will look at issues for the modern Christian. Issues which signify the parts of the Church which are currently asleep and need to be woken from their slumber. Are you ready? Are you aware of any of them in the life of the Church, including yourself?For instance, what is your relationship with your Government? What should your attitude and relationship with them be like?The 12 issues we look at together are: Chocolate Church; Government; Guidance; Individualism; Materialism; Radical Church; Self Interest; Standing Alone; Times of Trouble; Universalism; Words; Worship

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dear White Peacemakers is a breakup letter to division, a love letter to God’s beloved community, and an eviction notice to the violent powers that have sustained racism for centuries. Race is one of the hardest topics to discuss in America. Many white Christians avoid talking about it altogether. But a commitment to peacemaking requires white people to step out of their comfort and privilege and into the work of anti-racism. Dear White Peacemakers is an invitation to white Christians to come to the table and join this hard work and holy calling. Rooted in the life, ministry, and teachings of Jesus, this book is a challenging call to transform white shame, fragility, saviorism, and privilege, in order to work together to build the Beloved Community as anti-racism peacemakers. Written in the wake of George Floyd’s death, Dear White Peacemakers draws on the Sermon on the Mount, Spirituals, and personal stories from author Osheta Moore’s work as a pastor in St. Paul, Minnesota. Enter into this story of shalom and join in the urgent work of anti-racism peacemaking.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus said, “Go and make disciples.” So, what exactly are we doing? Western churches face a difficult future marked by numerical decline and evident signs of shrinking cultural influence. But Discipleship in Community wisely asks the church to go back to basics. What does it mean to follow Jesus? What does a life of discipleship look like? Trusted scholars Mark Powell, John Mark Hicks, and Greg McKinzie invite you to consider how good theology can lead to better, more intentional discipleship. In Discipleship in Community you will learn • how the language of Trinity matters to everyday disciples; • how God’s plan and mission is unfolding and how, as disciples, we can participate in that mission; • how the Bible is more than a book of facts and how it guides us into a relationship with God; • how baptism and the Lord’s Supper allow us to experience God’s saving power; and • how local churches can encourage intentional discipleship.

Book excerpt: Church folks is coined by the author as any group of people who fellowship in a building whose primary purpose is to serve God. Whether you are a Muslim going to the Mosque, a Jehovah's Witness going to the Kingdom Hall, a Catholic and Christian going to church, or Jews going to the synagogue, it really doesn't matter if you are conducting yourself like you're the devils best friend. The world thinks church folks is a joke, since their actions looks identical to the juiciest reality shows. Change happens when people who serve God begin to attract the people of the world due to the light that is within them. This book exposes behaviors from the pulpit to the pews, and it makes one think am I going to operate in my flesh or spirit? The purpose of this book derives from 2 Chronicles 7:14: "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicket ways, then I will forgive their sin and heal their land."
