Book excerpt: Balance-it is an elusive ideal and magnificent goal. Most Christian leaders, especially pastors, desire balance in lifeand ministry, but many would give themselves a failing grade when it comes to achieving it. While ministers hear a lotabout self-mastery, discipline, time management, and wholeness, most are caught up in a daily crunch of trying to sort theurgent from the important. At the same time, most pastors are both magnetically drawn and self-judged by Jesus' words toseek first the kingdom of God and Paul's testimony about doing one thing and having learned the secret of contentment.What a nerve-wracking confusion all this creates for contemporary ministers .

Download or read book Together written by Geoff Surratt and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2018-01-09 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Serving in numerous ministry capacities together, Geoff and Sherry Surratt have valuable lessons and observations to pass along to couples seeking to serve in ministry together. Marriage is hard. Learning to do life with another human being presents unanticipated challenges that take determined, focused, humbling effort to work through. Ministry is hard. Much like marriage, it's full of unanticipated challenges, requires a great deal of selflessness, and often comes with little reward. Marriage and ministry together? It’s a unique calling, yet couples who enter into it seldom receive adequate preparation, training, or even warning! Geoff and Sherry Surratt have been at both marriage and ministry together for over 30 years and have seen the highs, lows, and everything in between—they've managed to figure out a way to make it all work together. But the Surratts aren't the Facebook ministry couple with perfect hair, perfect skin, and perfect children. In fact, Together isn't a how-to-guide to create the model marriage-in-ministry. It's more like coffee with friends who've been where you are going and have learned some valuable lessons that may help you find your way, together.
Download or read book Center Church written by Timothy Keller and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2012-09-04 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practical and Gospel-centered thoughts on how to have a fruitful ministry by one of America's leading and most beloved pastor. Many church leaders are struggling to adapt to a culture that values individuality above loyalty to a group or institution. There have been so many "church growth" and "effective ministry" books in the past few decades that it's hard to know where to start or which ones will provide useful and honest insight. Based on over twenty years of ministry in New York City, Timothy Keller takes a unique approach that measures a ministry's success neither by numbers nor purely by the faithfulness of its leaders, but on the biblical grounds of fruitfulness. Center Church outlines a balanced theological vision for ministry organized around three core commitments: Gospel-centered: The gospel of grace in Jesus Christ changes everything, from our hearts to our community to the world. It completely reshapes the content, tone, and strategy of all that we do. City-centered: With a positive approach toward our culture, we learn to affirm that cities are wonderful, strategic, and under-served places for gospel ministry. Movement-centered: Instead of building our own tribe, we seek the prosperity and peace of our community as we are led by the Holy Spirit. "Between a pastor's doctrinal beliefs and ministry practices should be a well-conceived vision for how to bring the gospel to bear on the particular cultural setting and historical moment. This is something more practical than just doctrine but much more theological than "how-to steps" for carrying out a ministry. Once this vision is in place, it leads church leaders to make good decisions on how to worship, disciple, evangelize, serve, and engage culture in their field of ministry—whether in a city, suburb, or small town." — Tim Keller, Core Church

Book excerpt: In the contemporary world, where Christians are a minority in their populations, 'mixed marriages' have become an increasing and increasingly important phenomenon. There are many books written on married and family life for Catholics married to Catholics. But for Catholics married to Christians of other churches? For Catholics married to members of other faiths. For Catholics married to partners of no religious faith? Anita Dowsing writes with great perception of the rewards as well as the difficulties and challenges that such a marriage can bring - of how mutual love between partners, and mutual respect for each other's position, can deepen not only the marriage itself, but the Catholic partner's own faith. This book will bring new hope and insight to many in the same or a similar situation, to marriage counsellors, and to pastoral clergy.

When they retired in 2005, they were ready to enjoy their golden years with an exemplary marriage. Then disaster struck. In the aftermath of a severe panic attack, Barbara was diagnosed with cancer. For nearly two years, she was incapacitated. The strain of caring for her, in spite of appearances, exposed how shallow the Uhlmann relationship was. Their crisis drove them to levels of intimacy they could never have predicted.

Book Synopsis Women in the Ministry of Jesus by : Ben Witherington
Download or read book Women in the Ministry of Jesus written by Ben Witherington and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1987-10-22 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women in the Ministry of Jesus is a study of both of Jesus' attitudes towards women as reflected in his words and deeds, and of the women who were part of his ministry, or who interacted with him according to the Gospel accounts. The book seeks to provide a balanced analysis of the relevant Biblical material, and also the historical background necessary to illuminate the setting of the Gospel events. Particular attention is given to related issues such as Jesus' views on marriage, the family and the single life, as well as his teaching on adultery, the laws of the clean and unclean and the sabbath. Witherington concludes that Jesus cannot be categorized neatly either as chauvinist or as feminist.
Book Synopsis Walking with God through Pain and Suffering by : Timothy Keller
Download or read book Walking with God through Pain and Suffering written by Timothy Keller and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author of The Prodigal Prophet Timothy Keller—whose books have sold millions of copies to both religious and secular readers—explores one of the most difficult questions we must answer in our lives: Why is there pain and suffering? Walking with God through Pain and Suffering is the definitive Christian book on why bad things happen and how we should respond to them. The question of why there is pain and suffering in the world has confounded every generation; yet there has not been a major book from a Christian perspective exploring why they exist for many years. The two classics in this area are When Bad Things Happen to Good People by Rabbi Harold S. Kushner, which was published more than thirty years ago, and C. S. Lewis’s The Problem of Pain, published more than seventy years ago. The great secular book on the subject, Elisabeth Ku¨bler-Ross’s On Death and Dying, was first published in 1969. It’s time for a new understanding and perspective, and who better to tackle this complex subject than Timothy Keller? As the pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan, Timothy Keller is known for the unique insights he shares, and his series of books has guided countless readers in their spiritual journeys. Walking with God through Pain and Suffering will bring a much-needed, fresh viewpoint on this important issue.
Download or read book Being There written by Dave Furman and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2016-08-15 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone has friends or family who suffer from sickness, disability, depression, or the death of a loved one. Often times, the people who love the hurting also struggle in their own unique ways. They tend to suffer in silence and without much support from others. Writing from the unique perspective of one who needs extra help on a daily basis, Dave Furman offers insight into the support, encouragement, and wisdom that people need when helping others. Furman draws on his own life experiences, examples from the Bible, and wisdom from Christians throughout history to address the heart and ministry of those who are called to serve others. Deeply personal and powerfully pastoral, this book points readers to the strength that only God can provide as they love those who are hurting. Afterword written by Gloria Furman, the author's wife.
Book Synopsis Youth Ministry Across the Continents by : Fraser Keay
Download or read book Youth Ministry Across the Continents written by Fraser Keay and published by Fraser Keay. This book was released on 2021-11-26 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Youth pastors in other countries have things they can teach us. It can also help open our eyes to see how God is working in other nations. This second edition of Youth Ministry Across the Continents now features local church youth pastors from all six continents, a compilation of stories and insights from youth workers who have been ministering to young people for many years. New contributors include people from Japan, Chile, and a large church in Ohio, USA that has grown as a home group-based ministry for more than 30 years. Readers can compare and contrast the advice of seasoned youth pastors across the globe on the same youth ministry topics. Some of the differences in approach and style reflect personality, and some reflect culture; others are to do with the church or denomination the youth worker belongs to, be it Presbyterian, Pentecostal, Anglican, Baptist, Independent Evangelical, or Assemblies of God. Core issues covered include how to look after your own soul, evangelism, schools work, parents, and the youth pastor's vital relationship with their supervisor, often the senior pastor, minister or associate pastor. In addition to being organised by topic and not contributor, end-of-chapter discussion questions better enable readers to personally reflect, or share their thoughts with others, on the key issues. Read alongside a book like Operation World by Jason Mandryk and Patrick Johnstone, youth workers can also consider what God is doing in each of the countries they are reading about. The book would make informative compulsory or additional reading for a youth ministry or missions class, helping to expand the students' view of the world. It offers wonderful nuggets of wisdom and supplies a broad range of perspectives while reinforcing principles common to youth work across the globe. Inspiring, practical and educational, this book provides readers with ideas and situations they may have never considered. As veteran youth worker and professor, Len Kageler, writes in the foreword, "I had several 'I never thought of that' moments as I read along." So, grab yourself 150 years' worth of international youth work experience - all in one book!
