Editorial Reviews Review "Carson, founder of Cincinnati ministry Roots & Branches Network,explores the benefits of healing prayer in her engaging debut. Using her own experiences of depression, shame, and recovery from breast cancer,Carson skillfully blends pastoral wisdom, scripture, and prayer into apersuasive invitation to those who feel brokenhearted--"Broken hearts,broken bodies, broken minds, broken emotions. The fruit of ourbrokenness comes in many flavors and colors. But the roots are so verymuch the same." Healing the social isolation that can sometimes comewith modern life requires attention, quiet, and a radical openness to aspirit beyond oneself, she writes. Carson melds lectio divina(Ignatian prayer exercises) and other ancient practices withcontemporary models, such as life mapping and gratitude journals, toguide readers through the complexity and foundations of prayer. She also includes the wisdom and quotes of Christian luminaries, such as VictorHugo, Anne Lamott, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Dallas Willard. Carson'saccessible guide to prayer and spiritual self-care will resonate acrossthe Christian faith spectrum."--Publishers Weekly "Susan has a beautiful way of offering truth while being vulnerable. She dives deep into God's truth on how shame and lies distort who God made us to be. This is a story of leaving shame behind and stepping into the deepest kind of love,firmly rooted in truth, and connected with God. What a gift to the faith community she has given us!"--Beth Guckenberger, Co-Executive Director, Back2Back Ministries;speaker and author of Start with Amen: How I Learned to Surrender by Keeping the End in Mind "Susan Carson shapes a space for freedom and transformation. She's learned it from years in ministry--drawing on ancient practices, scriptural wisdom, and personal experience--and now makes that space available in this book. If you will enter IN to this gracious,imaginative, hopeful space, you may just find yourself in a new place with God."--Mandy Smith, Pastor, University Christian Church; and author, The Vulnerable Pastor "Susan has written such an accessible guide to spiritual growthand transformation. Personal, practical, and authentic in style, thisbook will help you go to the next level in your relationship with Godand your enjoyment of life in Him."--Chuck Mingo, Teaching Pastor,Crossroads Church "With wit and candor, Susan Carson masterfully weaves story and Scripture and sages' quotes into this inspiring book. Clearly she knows what it means to live deeply rooted in the love of God--a relationship forged through her own healing journey with Jesus and the remarkable friendship that has ensued. No reader will be untouched or left doubting that Jesus is still very much among us, working miracles in the midst of life's most confounding challenges!"--Beth A. Booram, Co-founder and Director, Fall Creek Abbey; spiritual director; author, Starting Something New, and coauthor with husband David, When Faith Becomes Sight

Book excerpt: Pastor John Piper shows how to sever the clinging roots of sin that ensnare us, including anxiety, pride, shame, impatience, covetousness, bitterness, despondency, and lust in Battling Unbelief. When faith flickers, stoke the fire. No one sins out of duty. We sin because it offers some promise of happiness. That promise enslaves us, until we believe that God is more desirable than life itself (Psalm 63:3). Only the power of God’s superior promises in the gospel can emancipate our hearts from servitude to the shallow promises and fleeting pleasures of sin. Delighting in the bounty of God’s glorious gospel promises will free us for a less sin-encumbered life, to the glory of Christ. Rooted in solid biblical reflection, this book aims to help guide you through the battles to the joys of victory by the power of the gospel and its superior pleasure.

This book was released on 2020-03-17 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is youth ministry actually for? And does it have a future? Andrew Root, a leading scholar in youth ministry and practical theology, went on a one-year journey to answer these questions. In this book, Root weaves together an innovative first-person fictional narrative to diagnose the challenges facing the church today and to offer a new vision for youth ministry in the 21st century. Informed by interviews that Root conducted with parents, this book explores how parents' perspectives of what constitutes a good life are affecting youth ministry. In today's culture, youth ministry can't compete with sports, test prep, and the myriad other activities in which young people participate. Through a unique parable-style story, Root offers a new way to think about the purpose of youth ministry: not happiness, but joy. Joy is a sense of experiencing the good. For youth ministry to be about joy, it must move beyond the youth group model and rework the assumptions of how identity and happiness are imagined by parents in American society.

Book excerpt: One power-packed word: amen. Millions of Christians all over the world say this word every day. Yet few realize what richness, depth, truth, and connection are packed into this sacred phrase. Throughout the centuries, Christian tradition has taught us to end prayers with amen. But the Bible is full of stories and passages where God’s people started their prayers with amen. Why? As Beth Guckenberger shows, amen is more than just a way to punctuate a conversation with the God of the Universe. Amen is a declaration of who God is and who we are in relation to him. It is a moment of submission and worship, saying “So be it” to a Sovereignty that holds all things, and acknowledging “It is as you say” to him who holds our lives. In Amen, Beth unpacks all the Bible has to teach us about the moment we say amen to God. Using key scripture passages mixed with fresh teaching and personal stories, she invites readers to experience the richness they’ve been missing. Amen is more than just a word. Amen is a full invitation from God packed with all that he requires from us and all he longs to bestow upon us as his beloved children. As Beth writes, “He is beckoning us all. Come to me. Learn my ways. You are my child, whom I dearly love and bought with a price. The God of Amen rescued you so you can echo amen back to him. God intended this word to be a moment of intimacy, drenched in reverence, replete with peace—the moment when you rest in him and are rejuvenated by him. There is so much more he wants to give. Amen.” If Christians long to be truly connected to their Creator, they must begin with amen. For, as Isaiah 65:16 says, “Because he who is blessed in the earth will be blessed by the God of Amen.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the average Christian who longs to share their faith effectively but doesn't know where to begin, Every Believer Confident is the ultimate guidebook. All believers are called to make disciples and "give an answer" when objections are raised against the faith. Most Christians want to share and defend their beliefs, but they often feel ill-equipped. They desire to reach friends, family, coworkers, and classmates with the good news of Jesus Christ, but lack confidence and skill. They want to be like Jesus and effectively engage the lost with the powerful truth of the gospel. They just don't know how. What's needed is a way to simplify apologetics and make it accessible to the average church member who will never study philosophy or science. If every church member was indeed a skilled evangelist, churches would not have to depend on come-and-see events to reach the community, because every member would be practicing the go-and-tell approach Scripture assumes. Every Believer Confident: Apologetics for the Ordinary Christian simplifies the basic principles of apologetics and provides effective strategies for use in actual encounters with unbelievers. It provides a structure whereby any Christian can engage anyone they meet, move the conversation to spiritual matters, answer objections raised against the Christian faith, and present the gospel of Christ in all its glory and rationality.

Book excerpt: You were born to make an impact in this world and you know it. You feel it deep down in your bones. Apathy is your nemesis and your hunger to change the world keeps you up at night. But no matter how deep this hunger growls, we can only make a meaningful impact if we are rooted in Jesus. And here’s the thing: God is not interested in developing your vision first. He is interested in developing you. In Rooted, Banning Liebscher takes us to the life of David to show how God expands our root system in the hidden places before leading us to where we all desire to go, the visible world. It was in a field of prayerful devotion, a season of serving, and a cave of community that God prepared David for his crown, the same way God prepares us. Take a look at your own life. Are you embracing God’s process, the sometimes painstaking and maddening process? When we can release ourselves to God we will find that we can thrive while He develops us, rather than succumb to discouragement. Whatever your age or season of life, it takes immense courage to slow down enough to let God grow a root system in your life so that you can bear fruit that remains. You are where you are because God has planted you there. Discover what it looks like to embrace His process so you can do what He has called you to, change the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the time Erin Lamb was a child, she was curious about the God of the Bible. She grew up in a home with a pastor and Sunday school teacher, which made knowing God a part of everyday life. More than reading about Him, her heart longed to know Him personally, as Moses knew Him. Along this journey, she picked up a pen and paper and began to write about her experiences with God and His responses. I Thought I Knew What Love Was is a book for every person who wants to plunge deeper into the heart of God. If circumstances or life have made God seem distant or cold, the words on these pages will lure your heart on a journey with the God of the high and low places. Understanding the depths of Gods love during the good and the challenging times is essential to living a joy-filled life. Erin has captured the heart of God through prayers, sonnets, and poems that reveal the human experience in relation to God. If you have ever felt as though God doesnt understand you, then poems like Agape, Even If, and Our Deepest Need will reveal Gods unfailing love for you. Whether you find yourself in the difficult places, or on the mountaintop, your heart and mind will be drawn to a more intimate place where you commune with God.
