Book Synopsis Hope in Times of Fear by : Timothy Keller
Download or read book Hope in Times of Fear written by Timothy Keller and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-03-09 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Resurrection accounts of Jesus in the Gospels are the most dramatic and impactful stories ever told. One similarity unites each testimony--that none of his most loyal and steadfast followers could "see" it was him, back from the dead. The reason for this is at the very foundation of the Christian faith. She turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus. (John 20:14) Hope in the Time of Fear is a book that unlocks the meaning of Jesus's resurrection for readers. Easter is considered the most solemn and important holiday for Christians. It is a time of spiritual rebirth and a time of celebrating the physical rebirth of Jesus after three days in the tomb. For his devoted followers, nothing could prepare them for the moment they met the resurrected Jesus. Each failed to recognize him. All of them physically saw him and yet did not spiritually truly see him. It was only when Jesus reached out and invited them to see who he truly was that their eyes were open. Here the central message of the Christian faith is revealed in a way only Timothy Keller could do it--filled with unshakable belief, piercing insight, and a profound new way to look at a story you think you know. After reading this book, the true meaning of Easter will no longer be unseen.
Book Synopsis The Juvenilization of American Christianity by : Thomas Bergler
Download or read book The Juvenilization of American Christianity written by Thomas Bergler and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2012-04-20 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pop worship music. Falling in love with Jesus. Mission trips. Wearing jeans and T-shirts to church. Spiritual searching and church hopping. Faith-based political activism. Seeker-sensitive outreach. These now-commonplace elements of American church life all began as innovative ways to reach young people, yet they have gradually become accepted as important parts of a spiritual ideal for all ages. What on earth has happened? In The Juvenilization of American Christianity Thomas Bergler traces the way in which, over seventy-five years, youth ministries have breathed new vitality into four major American church traditions -- African American, Evangelical, Mainline Protestant, and Roman Catholic. Bergler shows too how this "juvenilization" of churches has led to widespread spiritual immaturity, consumerism, and self-centeredness, popularizing a feel-good faith with neither intergenerational community nor theological literacy. Bergler s critique further offers constructive suggestions for taming juvenilization. Watch the trailer:

Book Synopsis Senior Adult Discipleship by : Bob G Fuston
Download or read book Senior Adult Discipleship written by Bob G Fuston and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-11 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Senior Adult Discipleship is composed of nine essentials for doing quality Christian education for the senior adult age group. This age group is generally thought of as adults who are age sixty-five and older. Church leaders simply must be led to address this major segment of believers and especially new members now. Churches will soon discover baby boomers are already joining the retirement ranks. The impact of this growth is already being felt in churches and in society. This book will help pastors, church staff members, church lay leaders, and church members to commit themselves to make a difference for Christ through quality discipleship of senior adults. To fail to disciple current and new Christians, including those who are senior adults, is unacceptable in light of the urgency of Jesus in commissioning the early disciples. The senior adult age group is important to the enrichment of this special group and the overall work of Christ in the ministry of local churches. Furthermore, the concern of this book is not just to suggest ways to minister to senior adults. Rather, the book also emphasizes providing resources for leading senior adults themselves to engage in ministry. This book is part of a series that provides the essentials for effective church ministry to all age groups. The titles of the books in this series are as follows: Preschool Christian Education; Children's Christian Education; Youth/Collegiate Christian Education; Adult Christian Education. An additional book, Christian Education Leadership, provides a comprehensive overview of Christian education for all ages.Bernard M. Spooner, Ph.D., general editor, has a lifetime of experience in helping churches, including fifteen years as a local church minister and more than three decades as a seminary and university professor and denominational leader. He served as the first dean of what is now the Graduate School of Ministry of Dallas Baptist University, Dallas, Texas.

Book Synopsis Reincorporating Senior Adults in to the Life of a Local Church by : Joe Evans
Download or read book Reincorporating Senior Adults in to the Life of a Local Church written by Joe Evans and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This DMIN research thesis’s problem concerns that some senior adults have grown complacent in their walk with God at Judson Baptist. In response to this problem, the researcher desired to implement a trend of encouraging all senior adults to become fully engaged in serving Christ. This senior adult minister wanted to reincorporate inactive members into the life of the church. As the seniors were encouraged to reactivate their status, their prayer life and faith walk may have improved. The problem was addressed by using a specific plan and understanding its objectives of overcoming apathy and indifference in church life. A sample of three-hundred fifty older adults at Judson Baptist consented to participate in this project. A survey interview collection method was implemented in encouraging seniors to continue growing in Jesus Christ. Prayer and faith may have been rejuvenated in members’ lives. This project study will encourage other senior adult ministers and pastors to reevaluate their age group’s significance in extending God’s kingdom. Hopefully, the research will ignite a flame of interest as to why seniors think as they do, why they act in their unique ways, how they can be encouraged to be mentors to the next generation, and how they can contribute to the growth of the church. All of these answers will benefit ministry to senior adults. This project will help incorporate older adults into the local church to fully implement the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20).
