Book Synopsis The Eloquent Lay Reader by : Cindy Telisak
Download or read book The Eloquent Lay Reader written by Cindy Telisak and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-24 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This work is both useful and beautiful-readers will find the 'how to' instructions immediately useful to improve their reading; and beautiful, as Telisak invites readers into the joy, delight, and holiness of Scripture with her engaging style. I can't wait to get this work into the hands and lives of the readers of Scripture at the parish I serve!" The Rev. Theron Walker, Rector, Emmaus Anglican Church, Castle Rock, CO The Eloquent Lay Reader is an encouraging manual for people whose ministry it is to read the scriptures aloud in their liturgical worship services. Most lay readers love their job but lack either the public speaking skills or the biblical knowledge to make the strongest impact. This book provides a streamlined process and critical reference material so the lay reader can both understand God's word and deliver it skillfully. In this book, we'll focus on two main objectives: understanding the text and delivering the text. We'll outline ways to simply analyze a passage for basic understanding and we'll go over basic presentation skills. That's the job in a nutshell. Conquer (or at least improve) these two areas and you'll be a confident lay reader and a blessing to your congregation.
Book Synopsis Lay Ecclesial Ministry by : Seton Hall University
Download or read book Lay Ecclesial Ministry written by Seton Hall University and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2010-10-16 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of lay ecclesial ministers—professionally prepared laity who serve in leadership roles—is becoming critically more important in the life of the Catholic church. In Lay Ecclesial Ministry, theologians and pastoral leaders from diverse disciplines provide a deeper understanding, envision future direction, and offer inspiration for these new ministers and the community of the church. Building on the themes of the first official document addressing lay ecclesial ministry, Co-workers in the Vineyard of the Lord, approved by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops in 2005, this book delves deeply into key topics. Authors reflect on dimensions of the Catholic tradition to enrich our understanding of this new reality of lay ministry in the church, to envision future developments, and to offer inspiration. Contributors draw on a variety of theological perspectives, including canon law, church history, ecclesiology, liturgy, and scripture, to ground understanding of lay ecclesial ministry within the Catholic tradition and to chart direction for further response to this newly emergent ministry. The book also offers inspiration and models of service to lay ministers, looking to stories of the saints and communities of vowed religious. Lay Ecclesial Ministry is an essential resource for the Catholic community in understanding and building upon this new and increasingly important component of church life.

This book was released on 2015-01-15 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It is not the same thing to have known Jesus as not to have known him, not the same thing to walk with him as to walk blindly, not the same thing to hear his word as not to know it.... We know that with Jesus life becomes richer."-Pope Francis, The Joy of the Gospel In her first book, Forming Intentional Disciples: The Path to Knowing and Following Jesus, Sherry Weddell, cofounder of the Catherine of Siena Institute, captured the attention of Catholics across the globe as she uncovered the life-changing power that accompanies the conscious decision to follow Jesus as his disciple. Now, in the groundbreaking Becoming a Parish of Intentional Disciples, she has gathered together experienced leaders and collaborators whose exceptional field-tested wisdom and enthusiasm for transforming Catholic parishes into centers of discipleship and apostolic outreach is both inspiring and practical. The authors consider: The role of intercessory prayer in parish transformation How "fireside chats" can help a pastor connect with his parishioners and call them to personal discipleship and mission The co-responsibility of lay people andpastors in the work of making disciples The revolutionary impact of a discipleship approach to youth ministry How one parish successfully fostered a culture of intentional discipleship, and much more As Sherry asks in her own chapter, "Are we willing to answer the call and pay the price necessary to become a new generation of saints through which God can do extraordinary things in our time?"

Book Synopsis A Lay Preacher's Guide by : Karoline M. Lewis
Download or read book A Lay Preacher's Guide written by Karoline M. Lewis and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In A Lay Preacher's Guide: How to Craft a Faithful Sermon, Karoline M. Lewis provides lay preachers with an essential and accessible guide to the basics of Sunday morning preaching. Laypeople are increasingly called to serve congregations and are preaching regularly. But often they do not have immediate, reliable, or trusted access to homiletical instruction or support for their preaching. As a result, these church leaders--feeling called to ministry and to preach, and affirmed by denominational leaders to do so--are left on their own to figure out how to preach. In A Lay Preacher's Guide, Lewis gives this unique subset of preachers the foundations of biblical preaching, so they can preach faithfully in their unique contexts. She lays out in a concise and clear format the steps to preaching a faithful sermon, a process that can be immediately applied to weekly sermon preparation. This book is a go-to resource for lay preachers, providing a basic course for faithful preaching.

This will inevitably never he one of the popular hooks on\line preaching; it makes too many mental and spiritual demands on the reader for that; but it will remain one of the great books on preaching' (The Expository Times).

Book excerpt: "I am hoping for a sequel. The Lay of LaLa Land was undoubtedly an extraordinary page-turner." - San Francisco Book Review After being caught peeping in on his nubile young step-mom with his makeshift peeping contraption, 12 year-old Lenny Dushoff's abusive, gluttonous father sends him off to a mental hospital for a 72 hour psychiatric evaluation. In a year's time from the peeping incident, Lenny will suffer a great loss, one that will riddle him with guilt throughout his adolescence. Seven years later, Lenny, now quiet, insecure and sexually inexperienced, escaped the trauma of his upbringing to the campus of a major university, where as a sophomore psychology major he finally finds the love that he's dreamed of since boyhood. But as boy meets girl, Lenny discovers Jane's "dirty" secret, one that could destroy her entire life. In a dramatic, darkly comic, but often absurdist coming of age tale about college sexual mayhem, Lenny uncovers the childhood roots of Jane's human condition, and in the process, comes to a deeper understanding of his own. "A.Y. Miles writes a brutally honest portrait of life, love, and reality in his book, The Lay of Lala Land... This book was one crazy ride from beginning to startling end." - Seattle Book Review
