She even finds time to think of the new, eligible assistant preacher named Adam Greene. By turns humorous and poignant, Beyond Church Doors invites us into NikkiMacs world of urban grittiness and sass, where being a Christian means asking forgiveness when her anger at another woman leads to near tragedy. It means not giving up on asking friends to church. It means being willing to don a bright orange lifeguard outfit and whistle to stand by the baptistery so that a churchgoer, terrified of drowning, can let herself be baptized. NikkiMac doesnt practice Sunday-morning-only Christianity, but lives her faith in the community 24-7 with a refreshing candor. Author Sylvia Brown-Roberts reunites us with her vivid characters as they seek to translate their faith into Godly behavior. An inspirational novel. Dr. Michael A. Brown, author of In Search of the Narrow Way

Book Synopsis Moving Beyond Church Growth by : Mark A. Olson
Download or read book Moving Beyond Church Growth written by Mark A. Olson and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2001-12-01 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Character development for communities of faith Mark Olson believes that trying to meet unrealistic expectations for church growth, along with expectations that pastors be all things to all people, has resulted in low morale, even burnout, among clergy and dissension within congregations.Olson's book argues that church-growth models exemplify and exacerbate the tendencies of the modern age and Constantinian Christianity, holding the church hostage to technique and marketing. These assumptions set up pastors and churches for disappointment and failure. But they also, in his opinion, miss an opportunity to envision a faithful alternative to the consumeristic church.Olson's valuable book calls church leaders to faithful, bold, and courageous rethinking of congregational life and witness in substance, purpose, and style. His own 20 years of ministry in rural, suburban, and urban congregations inform an alternative rooted deeply in the past and anchored in strong leadership and worship, but also profoundly compassionate and engaged in the surrounding community. In this model, pastors' primary responsibilities are not to fix everything and everybody but to enable people to be present to each other and to provide hope.
Book Synopsis Behind Church Doors by : Alaina Holloway-Carpenter
Download or read book Behind Church Doors written by Alaina Holloway-Carpenter and published by . This book was released on 2018-05-31 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Church is a place where believers are supposed to assemble to praise and worship our God. From the pressures of life to the disappointments of the week, the church is where we receive our healing, deliverance, direction, and peace. Not only do we worship, but also we fellowship with our brothers and sisters in what should be a loving, nurturing, and caring atmosphere. Sadly, a significant part of my experience has been quite the opposite. The danger of moving prematurely from under our covering made us a target for Satan to do what he does best: steal, kill, and destroy. Journey with me through the valley of the shadow of death, as this book depicts the betrayal, hurt, and humiliation that my family suffered at the hands of God's anointed. This is a story of survival through the trenches of the church world. In spite of everything we have gone through, God is still faithful to his word concerning family and me. He said that he would never leave us nor forsake us, and he has not failed at that yet. The intensity of this story will bring about laughter, tears, frustration, thought provocation, and even repentance. Be blessed, encouraged, and strengthened by my transparency.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pastoral care has been traditionally understood as pastoral acts administered to individuals or small groups by an ordained or lay religious practitioner. As congregations in the twenty-first century begin to reclaim the missional nature of church, this view must be broadened to include care and concern for the needs of the larger community. A missional perspective of pastoral care embraces the notion that all of Gods peoplenot just trained professionalsare called to partner in the healing and redemption of the world. In Beyond Church Walls, Rick Rouse sets out to articulate precisely what such an approach to pastoral care looks likeand the substantial impact it can have on congregations and communities. A skilled teacher and pastor with deep experience in real communities, Rouse leads readers through the changing realities of the twenty-first century and to new ways for missional churches to succeed in offering pastoral care for the whole community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creation is groaning, Satan is raging, and the believer is watching and praying. All redemptive history is leading up to the finale of the ages: the return of Jesus to Jerusalem to bring redemption to the earth. The scriptures reveal the glorious plan of restoration, but the church seems to have ignored the events leading up to that day. Before the "great and terrible" Day of the Lord, there will be unmatched and unprecedented trouble that the earth will experience. How will the church function in that day? Are we just going to wait for martyrdom? Will we hide and wish for the rapture? This book will show us that in the midst of deep darkness the people of God will deliver a great light to the earth empowered by Jesus Himself! The Messiah will hold open the end-time doors for the church to not only live through the time of trouble but flourish in the purposes of God. The reader will be led through Revelation 3 and look back to the origin of the statements that Jesus made to the church of Philadelphia. The reader will see that this is a picture of the faithful church given certain promises of endurance through the doors that Jesus will personally hold open. It is the anchor of hope for the end-time believer and the last days church to know that there will be un-shuttable doors of ministry that will be a part of the overcoming nature of the end-time Bride. In each chapter is an unfolding of the wisdom of God through a line that is drawn from Isaiah to Revelation that will bring the church into a degree of confidence to persevere unto Christ's return.
