Book excerpt: Is Reading the Bible the Fastest Way to Lose Your Faith? For centuries, the Bible was called "the Good Book," a moral and religious text that guides us into a relationship with God and shows us the right way to live. Today, however, some people argue the Bible is outdated and harmful, with many Christians unaware of some of the odd and disturbing things the Bible says. Whether you are a Christian, a doubter, or someone exploring the Bible for the first time, bestselling author Dan Kimball guides you step-by-step in how to make sense of these difficult and disturbing Bible passages. Filled with stories, visual illustrations, and memes reflecting popular cultural objections, How (Not) to Read the Bible is a lifeline for individuals who are confused or discouraged with questions about the Bible. It also works great as a small-group study or sermon series.

Download or read book Getting Students to Show Up written by Jonathan McKee and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2009-07-13 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whenever I talk with youth workers at big events, I see the same look in their eyes. It’s the look of, “I want to pull off an event like this.” I regularly get phone calls from youth workers around the country saying, “We’ve never done anything like this before, but we wanted to do a big evangelism event . . .” At 80% of the events I speak at each year it seems as if the youth worker in charge expected large numbers, only to get a fourth of his or her expectations. The heart is there and the motives are pure . . . but the experience and know-how are in short supply. Most youth workers would love to pull off successful outreach events, if they only knew how. Youth workers are only learning how to program outreach events by “trial and error.” They need a resource to not only teach them the basics in programming outreach events, but also give them tools and examples that actually work. This book will help them understand the mindset of this outreach crowd, and give them the tools to plan effective outreach programs. The book will show them examples of how NOT to do it, as well as giving them “ready-made” events that work. It will also provide the basics such as the importance of DRAW, and aligning every single element with the events PURPOSE. The target market is all youth workers who want to plan weekly outreach programs, big events, or campus programs. A secondary audience would be student leaders who want to learn how to run 20 minute lunchtime “Bible Clubs,” geared for outreach. Youth workers would be the gatekeepers to this audience, because they are the ones who would purchase the books for their student leaders

Book excerpt: Steve Quatro has been training church leaders how to develop effective church sports ministries full time since 1992. He speaks regularly at sports ministry and pastors' conferences. Since 2006 Steve has taught sports ministry at Azusa Pacific University. Steve married Tina in 1974; they have three adult children and three grandsons (and counting!). It has been my privilege to be involved in Kingdom work through the bridge of sports and recreation with Steve on three continents. His tunnel-vision focus on prayerful "evangelism has been his continual "soap box." This is a must read for every Senior Pastor, Sports Minister and sports ministry volunteer. Thank you, Steve, for putting these principles in print to help churches develop simple and effective sports outreach efforts. Greg Linville Executive Director, Church Sports and Recreation Ministers Professor of Sports Ministry, Malone College Steve Quatro has been a leader in sports ministry since the early 1990's. Intentional Outreach, refines church sport and recreation ministry down to the basics in order to keep it focused, simple, and evangelistically effective. Rodger Oswald Executive Director, Church Sports International Our church has intentionally incorporated sports into many of our local outreach efforts to the end that currently the highest percentage of our congregation had their initial contact with our church through our sports activities. The principles outlined in Steve's book, Intentional Outreach, are a key part of our sports outreach efforts and I recommend them highly for any church using sports to reach out. Dave Burns Senior Pastor, Hillside Community Church Virtually every church in America (and a rapidly growing number around the world) employs sport or recreation activities to accomplish its mission. This book provides to pastors and lay-leaders simple and Biblically-sound guidelines to transform their sports and recreation activities into outreach vehicles that yield measureable results.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practical Strategies for Gospel-Centered Children's Ministry When building a children's ministry at a church, there is so much to consider: Which curriculum should we use? How many volunteers do we need? How do we keep parents in the loop? And that's before we run into stalled check-in computers, missing activity sheets, and floors that need to be vacuumed. While all of the tasks of children's ministry are important, leaders can get easily distracted with the everyday work of doing ministry and lose sight of the main focus—the gospel. Writing from personal ministry experience, Jared Kennedy shares a four-fold approach for gospel-centered, missional children's ministry: hospitality, teaching, discipleship, and mission. This practical resource covers a variety of topics ranging from creating child protection policies to putting together lesson plans to catechism, helpful for children's ministers and volunteers alike as they disciple children with the powerful message of the gospel. Applicable: Includes questions for reflection and evaluation Helps Leaders Disciple the Next Generation: Features advice for sending kids and their families on mission Ideal for Nursery–5th Grade Teachers and Leaders: A practical and helpful resource for children's ministries Published in Conjunction with the Gospel Coalition (TGC)
