Book Synopsis What Your Pastor Won't Tell You by : Marshall Davis
Download or read book What Your Pastor Won't Tell You written by Marshall Davis and published by . This book was released on 2018-09-12 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is something your pastor is not telling you. In fact there is A LOT your pastor is not telling you! This book lets you in on the secrets. A forty year veteran of pastoral ministry, Marshall Davis takes you behind the scenes into the world of fulltime professional ministry. In this book he shares things that your pastor will not say publicly. He reveals what it is really like to be a Christian pastor in today's complex and rapidly-changing world. He shares the emotional and spiritual struggles that ministers face in leading churches during a time when all forms of Christianity are in decline in America. At times intensely personal, Davis talks about the dangers pastors face from stress, depression, burnout, and "clergy killers" in the church. He goes on to share knowledge that pastors acquire in seminary and divinity school but are hesitant to share with their congregations. This includes scholarly knowledge about the origins and content of the Bible, the uncomfortable relationship that Christianity has with science, the changing nature of Christian theology, and some surprising revelations about early Christian history. He confronts the hypocrisy in the church when it comes to subjects like evolution, climate change, racism, sexism, and sexual assault in the church. He addresses topics like nationalism, child abuse, homosexuality, and the role of women in the church. In a clear and forthright manner he explores topics that many pastors will not address because of church and denominational politics. He ends the book by providing a list of ways that church people can help their pastors deal with difficult issues in the church. This book will be comforting to some and controversial to others. For all it will be an honest, personal examination of many subjects that are not talked about openly in Christian churches today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Caring for your pastor and the difference it makes. Caring for your pastor and the difference it makes. What do you think about your pastor? Do you chew over his sermons and wonder if they are clear and helpful? Do you feel he spends enough time with you? In fact, do you ever catch yourself wondering what he does all day? The truth is, often we think, "What can my pastor do for me?" Far less often do we think, "What can I do for my pastor?" Seasoned former pastor, Christopher Ash, urges church members to think about pastors not just in terms of what they do €“ how they lead and pray and preach and teach and so on €“ but about who they are. He encourages us to remember that pastors are people and to pray for them as they serve us. Paradoxically, caring for our pastor will be a blessing to us as well as to them, and create a culture of true fellowship in our church family.
Download or read book Worthy written by Elyse Fitzpatrick and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2020-02-04 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does the Bible say about the value of women? Does the Bible teach that women are as valuable as men or does it portray them as somehow more flawed, more suspect, or weak and easily deceived? Beginning from Genesis and working all the way through the storyline of the Bible, Worthy demonstrates the significant and yes, even surprising, ways that God has used women to accomplish His kingdom goals. Because, like men, they are created in His image, their lives reflect and declare His worth. Worthy will enable and encourage both men and women to embrace this true and lofty vision of God's creation, plan, and their value in His eyes. Bestselling author Elyse Fitzpatrick and pastor Eric Schumacher together invite women to embrace a transformative and empowering view of their Maker, themselves, and the church. But this isn't only a book for women. It is also a book for men, especially leaders, who want to grow in their understanding of God's perspective on women, people who normally make up the majority of their congregations; men who might be wondering if they've missed something amid the abuse scandals that are rocking the church. Might the headlines they're reading today about abuse have their roots in a denigration of the value and worth of women? Worthy: Celebrating the Value of Women will help every reader see the value, place, and calling of women through study questions and a "Digging Deeper" section that will help men and women discover how to cherish, value, and honor one another for God's glory.

Book Synopsis Pastors Are People Too by : Jimmy Dodd
Download or read book Pastors Are People Too written by Jimmy Dodd and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2016-05-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are your top twenty expectations for your pastor? Now multiply your list by the number of people who attend church with you. Is it any wonder pastors are overwhelmed and underappreciated? They’re expected to know every member by name, preach a “home run sermon” every Sunday, condemn sin without hurting anyone’s feelings, and be available to serve others 24/7 while not neglecting their own family. The intensity of these expectations and lack of appreciation can and does bring the majority of pastors to a place of despair and ultimately departure from pastoral ministry. This practical field guide offers tangible ways to better understand and care for the pastor who cares so deeply about you.
Book Synopsis Seven Things Your Pastor Won't Tell You by : Jack Matthews
Download or read book Seven Things Your Pastor Won't Tell You written by Jack Matthews and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-06-27 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book challenges some of today's mainstream Christian theology in an attempt to let the Bible speak for itself, without outside opinions and influences. But this challenge is in no way intended to demean or discredit the thousands of godly theologians and preachers who are taking the wonderful Gospel message to the world. The purpose of this book is to challenge believers and skeptics alike to study God's Word for themselves in an earnest pursuit of the truth. It answers such questions as, "Is my Grandma's soul really in heaven, looking down on me?" Or, what when, and where is hell? Why do we often hear about people in heavenly bliss, but never hear a word about those supposedly in hell? We often hear about the Rapture, the Seven-Year Tribulation, the Millennium, and various end-time scenarios. Are they all supported by the Bible? Of course, they must be, right? So many godly, highly educated theologians couldn't be wrong, could they? This book explores the history of the church with respect to extra-biblical influences on Christian theology through the centuries. It shines a light on such questions as, could a Greek philosopher in the 3rd century BC insert his beliefs into twenty-first-century Christian orthodoxy? Or could a sixteenth-century Jesuit priest determine today's prophetic interpretation? This book will answer those questions. You will also discover little known facts about the real St. Patrick, about the seven-day cycle in living things and where the idea of a secret rapture originated. Again, the author's sincere hope is that the reader will be stimulated to explore God's wonderful word for themselves.

Book excerpt: ECPA Christian Book Award Finalist Your Battle against Porn Isn't about Porn. It's about Hope. Pornography may seem inescapable, but God can free us from its destructive power.

How then can we reclaim our God-given identity to take a stand against—and ultimately starve—the predatory porn industry? In The Death of Porn, Ray Ortlund writes six personal letters, as from a father to his son. Ideal for individuals and small groups, it will give hope to men who have been misled by porn into devaluing themselves and others. Through Scripture and personal stories, Ortlund assures readers that God loves them the most tenderly in their moments of deepest shame. The Death of Porn inspires men to come together in new ways to fight the injustice of porn and build a world of nobility for every man and woman—for the sake of future generations.

Download or read book Zombie Church written by Tyler Edwards and published by Kregel Publications. This book was released on 2011-12-13 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is something missing in the church today. Stuck in a rut of routines and rituals, the church is caught up in doing what it is “supposed to do” but is lacking the true essence of what it is supposed to provide: life. Real faith--and a real relationship with Jesus--is not about playing by the rules, attending services, and praying before meals. Real faith is more than religion. Believing there is a way to breathe life back into the church, Tyler Edwards adopts a contemporary and entertaining metaphor--zombies--to highlight and challenge the problematic attitude of today’s believers.
