Book excerpt: Listen to the Heartbeat of the Church resurrects the concept of episcopal visitation, an age-old and rarely used practice in Catholic parishes and dioceses. Using information gleaned from a survey of 100 Benedictine monasteries along with a nine-month experience of facilitating a parish goal-setting process, Baroch describes how visitation can strengthen parishes and dioceses by closing the communication gap that sometimes exists between the laity and the hierarchy. Her fictional account of St. Anonymous Catholic Church, the heart of the book, shows how a struggling congregation can accomplish its goals when parishioners, the pastor, and their bishop engage in shared ministry. It can happen--one parish, one diocese, at a time.

Have you ever wanted to know the answers to these questions about God? Do you want to find out if what youve always thought about God is really true? You can get answers to these questions by looking at what the Bible says about the heart of God. In this stimulating and heartfelt book, Dr. Harold Shank leads us through an in-depth study of scripture that will help us find out what makes Gods heart beat. Dr. Shank also explores how to reconcile some of the difficult-to-comprehend aspects of Gods heart. How can His goodness and love be reconciled with His command to utterly destroy a certain group of people? or If God cares about brokenhearted people, why are there so many of them in our world?

This book was released on 2024-01-24 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written for the thinking person who is struggling to believe. It does this by presenting Christianity as a matter of relationships. Good behavior and correct belief do not build relationships, but grow from them. The Bible tells the unfolding story of a relationship given, lost, and reoffered again and again. This is more clear when we begin here, below, where we are, accentuating God's immanence over his transcendence. In such an approach, optional understandings of church teachings become evident, options that are biblically and theologically sound but are seldom offered. There is more than one way to skin a dogma. These alternatives to many teachings provide hope to those outside the church who wish for something more than competition for material possessions, and for those inside the church and struggling to stay. We are socialized into a scientific world view in which there is little room for spirituality. This tension between science and religion is addressed by the presentation of Christianity that is not anti-intellectual, rigid, or defensive. This book shows that we do not need to choose between our worldview and our faith.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celtic traditions point to God in the natural elements in this refreshing take on how to pray. Where is God when we pray? Artist and priest Ruth Pattison looks to the legacy of Celtic spirituality to say God is in all of creation that surrounds us—earth, fire, water, air—and not up in the clouds. She invites the reader into a grounded spirituality rooted deep in Celtic tradition that sees everything as infused with the Spirit—including humanity. The material will deepen the experience of worship with creative hands-on spiritual practices for the context of liturgy. It can also be used for creating the structure and substance of retreats, spiritual formation classes, and for helping parents who want to learn to pray with children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poet, philosopher, translator, typographer, and cultural historian Robert Bringhurst is a modern-day Renaissance man. He has forged a career from diverse but interwoven vocations, finding ways to make accessible to contemporary readers the wisdom of poets and thinkers from ancient Greece, the Middle East, Asia, and North American First Nations. This collection shows the ways in which his industry-standard textbook The Elements of Typographic Style, his remarkable translations of Haida oral epics, and his experimental and traditional poetry and prose form a single coherent project. Listening for the Heartbeat of Being brings together a range of literary scholars, poets, journalists, and publishers to comment on Bringhurst’s far reaching body of work. The essays include a comprehensive biography of Bringhurst, first-hand accounts of his book design and production efforts, an analysis of his ground-breaking polyphonic performance poems, and re-considerations of the Masterworks of the Classical Haida Mythtellers translation trilogy. Experienced Bringhurst scholars join well-known writers such as Dennis Lee and Margaret Atwood to create a multi-dimensional view of Bringhurst’s career. Guided by the simple faith that "everything is connected to everything else," Bringhurst’s ability to listen closely to the great minds of many cultures and represent their voices pragmatically is, as this diverse and insightful book shows, of greater interest than ever in a world facing unprecedented ecological crisis and intensive cultural evolution. Contributors include Margaret Atwood, Nicholas Bradley (University of Victoria), Crispin Elsted (Barbarian Press), Clare Goulet (Mount St. Vincent University), Iain Higgins (University of Victoria), Ishmael Hope, Peter Koch (Peter Koch Printers), Dennis Lee, Scott McIntyre, Katherine McLeod (Concordia University), Kevin McNeilly (University of British Columbia), Káawan Sangáa, and Erica Wagner.

This book was released on 2023-06-13 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a time when organized religion is suffering an identity crisis, the author of The Last Presbyterian? examines the faith culture that shaped him and his family over the last half millennium. Filled with historical, theological, and spiritual reflections and set in the context of both old family stories and current trends, Cuthbertson's book addresses such timely issues as practicing faith within families, setting aside time for God, and the changing facets of leadership and discipleship within the Presbyterian tradition. Starting with the "Psalm-singing, Sabbath-keeping, Shorter-Catechism-memorizing" branches of Scots-American Presbyterianism, this book offers an affectionate look back, and a hopeful look ahead, to an emergent Presbyterianism coming to terms with issues such as LGBT ordination and same-gender marriage, interfaith relations, and care for the earth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "...the Word of God, and no other weapon, shall prove to be the decisive factor in this war against Satan, sin, and the unthinkable slaughter of countless children in their mothers' wombs."Divine Heartbeat heralds the biblical mandate to know the glory of God through the mournful, cross-bearing work of the kind of Abortion Abolitionism that is distinctly Christian. It is simultaneously a summons to repentance, beckoning the Church to return to the sound doctrines and practices of the historic Christian faith, and a vision for a Scripture-based approach to the Abortion Abolitionist cause. Seeking to provide comfort and hope to those who weep for the preborn children of the world (and especially to those who have been bereaved of preborn children), it centers the message of Abortion Abolitionism on the Gospel of Christ Jesus. For, the incarnation of the Son of God began with the divine Child in His mother's womb. It is thus a Scripture-based celebration of life-as created by God in the womb-and a Scripture-based call to war-spiritual war on behalf of God's little ones who reside in the womb."Timothy shares my heart when he writes that 'the crisis over the lack of sound Abolitionist thinking in the Church is a crisis over Scripture.'"-From the Foreword by Craig Houghton, author of Family UNplanning

After 36 years of teaching, playing sports and several pets, Linda uses powerful examples of God teaching her His Word and conversations they shared. Chapter titles like, "World's Fastest Brake Foot", God's One-Liners", "You Can't Pull A Goat", and "God Uses Sump Pumps and Burning Bushes" will peak your curiosity. It is important to know what the Bible says and so scripture is used throughout. This book not only entertains but is a teaching tool. Linda grew up in Michigan where she enjoyed church activities and sports. In high school, she was a member of the National Honor Society and graduated in the Top Ten of her class. She graduated from Huntington College in Huntington Indiana in 1972 with a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education. Before retiring in 2010, she taught school for 36 years with the last 13 being in juvenile corrections. In 2005 she finished her Master of Arts in Biblical Studies. The Lord has used Linda as an educator, exhorter, and encourager while ministering in church services, Sunday school, and women's ministries.

The fizzling church is defined as one that began with great promise and excitement, only to stagnate or flatline in influence. What are the components of churches that fizzle, and what are the attributes of churches that succeed? Practical insights and exercises are presented in clear and simple language to the readership, and the author writes from the perspective of an organizational leadership professor, an executive leader from a major Christian university, and as an executive pastor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you lead a small church? Big churches get all the love. Articles, books, conferences—they mostly feature leaders of large congregations. Yet big churches are a small part of the ecclesial landscape. In fact, more than 90 percent of churches have fewer than 200 people. That means small churches play a big part in what God is doing. Small Church Essentials is for leaders of these smaller congregations. It encourages them to steward their role well, debunking myths about small churches while offering principles for leading a dynamic, healthy small church. Based on the popular six-hour lecture that Karl Vaters delivers to church leaders across the country, Small Church Essentials will affirm small church leaders and show them how to identify what they do well, and how to do it even better. Readers will: Be assured that leading a small congregation does not make them ministry failures Come away inspired to lead with passion, regardless the size of their church Have field-tested principles for leading a church in their context Possess new metrics for biblically measuring vitality in small churches Have a toolkit of resources to use in their everyday ministry Karl Vaters has been a small church pastor for 30 years, is the author of The Grasshopper Myth: Big Churches, Small Churches, and the Small Thinking that Divides Us (2013), and travels extensively to churches and conferences to speak about leading a small church well. If you are pastoring a small church, this book will be a breath of fresh air. It will affirm your calling while giving you fresh tools to help you lead. It will help you: Stop believing lies about small churches Lead your church to fulfill the role only small churches can Understand your congregation’s strengths and weaknesses Turn around a dying or unhealthy church Identify good trends and bad in church and culture
