Book excerpt: We live in an age of skepticism. Our society places such faith in empirical reason, historical progress, and heartfelt emotion that it’s easy to wonder: Why should anyone believe in Christianity? What role can faith and religion play in our modern lives? In this thoughtful and inspiring new book, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller invites skeptics to consider that Christianity is more relevant now than ever. As human beings, we cannot live without meaning, satisfaction, freedom, identity, justice, and hope. Christianity provides us with unsurpassed resources to meet these needs. Written for both the ardent believer and the skeptic, Making Sense of God shines a light on the profound value and importance of Christianity in our lives.

This book was released on 2018-01-17 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Christian System of Living, or an Abundance for All This book, too, rebukes the churches that coddle the bad men - for the money they can get out of them. If they were good they would say to the money stealer, under cover of business: Thy money go to perdition [hell] with thee. It will; and there are unmistakable signs that it will not be long before the exploiter and his badly gotten gain will together go into the fire. But the greatest service which this book renders is that it gives a sketch of a new system of living together, founded upon love. Really, it is not new; it is the old, the first way Christians dwelt together, slightly modified to suit the changed civil conditions. For the converted it is entirely practical. But, alas! There are few converted. Most persons, while look ing toward the Zoar of safety, face about and look back to Sodom. Their heart is there, because their material possessions are there. Surely they are-not fit for the Kingdom of God. And the unfit will never enter therein. They may as well know it now. Here they are fearlessly told the truth.

This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Christian System of Living, or an Abundance for All This is a holy book. It has been written under an impulsion of the Spirit. The manuscript of nearly a thousand pages was prepared in about forty days. Many of the thoughts herein contained never occurred to me before. Indeed, the remarkable thing about this book is that it is nearly as new to me as it will be to the reader. When I have read over a chapter after completion it has seemed as though I were reading the work of another. And it is the work of Another. I did not premeditate it. I laid out no plan of composition or arrangement. But as I progressed, borne along by the spiritual Power, I put down what came to me to write. Therefore, I feel I am only an amanuensis in its production. It is new to me, after so many years of authorship, to be thus so directly moved by God and sustained by Him in prosecution of a task. In a sentence, this book has truly been begun, continued and ended in God. To some this may sound like fanaticism; but I am satisfied that nobody indwelt by God will find herein a single fanatical paragraph, or even line. It is far away from visionary. It is realistic, to the last word. If anybody shall be disposed to criticize it as lacking art, and being crude in part or as a whole, I answer, this is not an art book. It was not composed for men's admiration, to win their praise. It is an unveiling, a message. Messages from God are not meant to be models of composition. The work belongs to the Pauline account of his ambassadorial visits. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Christianity is declining in the West. Churches in the United States, Canada, Australia, and Europe are closing their doors at an accelerating rate. How will the church respond? In this short but sweeping manifesto, New York Times bestselling author and pastor Timothy Keller argues that this decline should prompt us to rethink evangelism from the ground up. Using the early church as our guide, churches and individual Christians must examine ourselves, our culture, and Scripture to work toward a new missionary encounter with Western culture that will make the gospel both attractive and credible to a new generation.

Download or read book Ordinary written by Michael Horton and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2014-10-07 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Radical. Crazy. Transformative and restless. Every word we read these days seems to suggest there’s a “next-best-thing,” if only we would change our comfortable, compromising lives. In fact, the greatest fear most Christians have is boredom—the sense that they are missing out on the radical life Jesus promised. One thing is certain. No one wants to be “ordinary.” Yet pastor and author Michael Horton believes that our attempts to measure our spiritual growth by our experiences, constantly seeking after the next big breakthrough, have left many Christians disillusioned and disappointed. There’s nothing wrong with an energetic faith; the danger is that we can burn ourselves out on restless anxieties and unrealistic expectations. What’s needed is not another program or a fresh approach to spiritual growth; it’s a renewed appreciation for the commonplace. Far from a call to low expectations and passivity, Horton invites readers to recover their sense of joy in the ordinary. He provides a guide to a sustainable discipleship that happens over the long haul—not a quick fix that leaves readers empty with unfulfilled promises. Convicting and ultimately empowering, Ordinary is not a call to do less; it’s an invitation to experience the elusive joy of the ordinary Christian life.

Download or read book The Cat and the Toaster written by Douglas A. Hall and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living system ministry is an approach to Christian ministry in the Western world that recognizes the differences between cats, the world God created, and toasters, the world we create using our technology and our capacities, limited as they are. The church is the Body of Christ, a living system. Neighborhoods, cities, and cultures, too, are complex and interrelated living social systems. Why, then, would we try to do God's work in a church or social system using tools and methods designed for non-living systems? We do it because our culture is very organizationally - and technologically - centered. We have grown accustomed to thinking of our social contexts not as living systems, but as things we can easily measure and control. Embracing both perspective and procedure, Living System Ministry is about doing better ministry by seeing a better picture of what exists in the total system. Like farmers, rather than technicians, we learn to be involved in and to be "in tune with" what causes fruitfulness. We never cause fruit to happen. God does! But as our work becomes better aligned with what God is already doing in his complex, living-system environment, there is an explosion of life. We discover the fruit that remains. Writing from his forty-five years of experience as an urban ministry practitioner in Boston, Dr. Doug Hall introduces us to an approach to missions that recognizes the lead role of God's larger, living social systems as powerful engines for doing far more in our world than we can even begin to imagine.

Download or read book The Joy of the Gospel written by Pope Francis and published by Image. This book was released on 2014-10-07 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The perfect gift! A specially priced, beautifully designed hardcover edition of The Joy of the Gospel with a foreword by Robert Barron and an afterword by James Martin, SJ. “The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus… In this Exhortation I wish to encourage the Christian faithful to embark upon a new chapter of evangelization marked by this joy, while pointing out new paths for the Church’s journey in years to come.” – Pope Francis This special edition of Pope Francis's popular message of hope explores themes that are important for believers in the 21st century. Examining the many obstacles to faith and what can be done to overcome those hurdles, he emphasizes the importance of service to God and all his creation. Advocating for “the homeless, the addicted, refugees, indigenous peoples, the elderly who are increasingly isolated and abandoned,” the Holy Father shows us how to respond to poverty and current economic challenges that affect us locally and globally. Ultimately, Pope Francis demonstrates how to develop a more personal relationship with Jesus Christ, “to recognize the traces of God’s Spirit in events great and small.” Profound in its insight, yet warm and accessible in its tone, The Joy of the Gospel is a call to action to live a life motivated by divine love and, in turn, to experience heaven on earth. Includes a foreword by Robert Barron, author of Catholicism: A Journey to the Heart of the Faith and James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage

Download or read book Sidewalks in the Kingdom The Christian Practice of Everyday Life written by Eric O. Jacobsen and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2003-05-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christians often talk about claiming our cities for Christ and the need to address urban concerns. But according to Eric Jacobsen, this discussion has remained far too abstract. Sidewalks in the Kingdom challenges Christians to gain an informed vision for the physical layout and structure of the city. Jacobsen emphasizes the need to preserve the nourishing characteristics of traditional city life, including shared public spaces, thriving neighborhoods, and a well-supported local economy. He explains how urban settings create unexpected and natural opportunities to initiate friendship and share faith in Christ. Helpful features include a glossary, a bibliography, and a description of New Urbanism. Pastors, city-dwellers, and those interested in urban ministry and development will be encouraged by Sidewalks in the Kingdom.

Download or read book The Great Spiritual Migration written by Brian D. McLaren and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2016-10-20 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people experience Christianity as a system of belief, focused on an exclusive Supreme Being who favours some and rejects others, and is defended by a set of change-averse, self-protecting institutions. In The Great Spiritual Migration, Brian McLaren proposes that this conventional understanding of Christianity is ripe for a conversion: from system of belief to way of life, from exclusive Supreme Being to the loving, healing, reconciling Spirit embodied in Jesus, and from an organised institutional religion that supports an unjust status quo to an organising movement-building religion that helps a better world be born. Drawing from his work as a pastor, speaker, ecumenical networker and activist, McLaren issues a call and offers a plan for radical change that can shift the direction of Christian faith to be more in sync with its founder, more life-giving for individual Christians and congregations - and more of a life-giving resource for the whole world.
