Download or read book Gospel Centered Discipleship written by Jonathan K. Dodson and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2012-03-31 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflecting on the practice of disciple making in young adult, college, graduate, and local church contexts, Jonathan Dodson has discerned some common pitfalls. For many, discipleship is reduced to a form of religious performance before God. For others, it devolves into spiritual license and a loose adherence to spiritual facts. Both approaches distort biblical motivations for Christian obedience and are in need of reform. By explaining various motivations for discipleship, Dodson charts a biblically faithful, grace-driven alternative. Additionally, he provides a practical model for creating gospel-centered discipleship groups—small, reproducible, missional, gender-specific groups of believers that fight for faith together. This book blends both theology and practice to inspire and equip Christians to effectively fight sin, keep Jesus central, and make gospel-centered discipleship a way of life. Both new and growing Christians will learn to trust the gospel in community as they fight together for holiness as well as how to start gospel-centered community groups in any local church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book continues in the life of Raymond, Leonas son, as he carries on the duties at the Assistance House that his mother had started years ago. Although this book will show the softer side of Raymond and his family, we also see the effects of abuse. Raymond is forced to face the brutality of his biological father his mother had gathered the strength to leave shortly after giving birth to Raymond. Never had his mother said a bad word about George Mackey Jr. but George shows a side of himself that even Leona could not have imagined possible of the beast she had been forced to marry. Like his mother, Raymond stands his ground against the terror George causes at both ranches that are home to Raymond, but also rises above the tragedy that George leaves in his wake.

Download or read book A Sudden Glory written by Sharon Jaynes and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2012-08-21 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you long for something more in your relationship with God? The good news is that “something more” does not mean “doing more.” God is not waiting for you to get your spiritual life “right.” He wants to be with you right where you are. The real question is not “What does God want from you?” but “What does God want for you?” Sharon Jaynes understands what it’s like to have a “glory ache”—a longing to experience God’s presence on a daily basis. She also knows how easily working for God can get in the way of intimacy with God. And she’s discovered that we tend to make our faith journey much too hard. In A Sudden Glory, Sharon uses Scripture and story to help you erase the line between your “spiritual life” and your “daily life” as you enter the sanctuary of God’s presence even in the middle of your busy, messy day. Here you will find your eyes opened to moments of sudden glory in which the Creator assures you of His love as you live and move and have your being in Him. Here you will discover true freedom—the freedom of experiencing God in a deeper and more intimate way than ever before. Includes Bible study and discussion guide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.
Download or read book Once Abandoned written by Grant Newton and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-04-29 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grant Newton, born 1984, is from Maumee, Ohio (just outside of Toledo) and a 2009 graduate from Ohio University with a B.A. in Creative Writing. During his final years there, he began to get serious about writing short stories and poems about his experiences in and around Athens. For instance, he saw the value in playing poker all night with the locals, driving and exploring the surrounding areas, and the element of frontier and lawlessness in the town. It was difficult to focus the attention he desired on his short stories (although hed compiled pages of ideas) and, after talking with a few distinguished English professors, decided instead to write a full-length novel. It was a challenge to balance it with the pursuit of a degree, but in October of 2009 he completed a fictional adventure book entitled In The Sights. With its release, he hoped to fund other projects such as an intricate short story collection (with the many references from his novel included) and multiple film projects. In February of 2011, he comprised these short works and poetry into one body: Once Abandoned. It can be read simultaneously with In The Sights or on its own, but is sure to captivate readers both young and old alike.
