Download or read book At Home in a Stange Land written by William Brown and published by . This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do you know God is calling you to plant a church? How do you determine where God is calling you? What do you do to plant a church from scratch? What do you do if you do not have substantial financial support? How do you obey the Great Commission's directive to make disciples? These are common questions for those exploring church planting. At Home in a Strange Land shares the experiences of church planters who have established ministries in some of the toughest areas of North America. There are numerous books presenting the large launch methodology of church planting; however, At Home in a Strange Land presents a small group discipleship approach that is biblical, reproducible, and economical. William Brown draws from his experience as a church planter, pastor, church planting professor, and Nehemiah Project Director to present principles and practices promoting contextualized ministry. Though focused on church planting, At Home in a Strange Land addresses principles applicable to any ministry desiring to be contextualized, discipleship focused, and servanthood based. The personal stories will challenge you to be involved in reaching your world for Christ. The principles will help you become a disciple-maker.

Download or read book The Nones written by Ryan P. Burge and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2023-05-16 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Nones: Where They Came From, Who They Are, and Where They Are Going, Second Edition, Ryan P. Burge details a comprehensive picture of an increasingly significant group--Americans who say they have no religious affiliation. The growth of the nones in American society has been dramatic. In 1972, just 5 percent of Americans claimed "no religion" on the General Social Survey. In 2018, that number rose to 23.7 percent, making the nones as numerous as both evangelical Protestants and Roman Catholics. Every indication is that the nones will be the largest religious group in the United States in the next decade. Burge illustrates his precise but accessible descriptions with charts and graphs drawn from more than a dozen carefully curated datasets, some tracking changes in American religion over a long period of time, others large enough to allow a statistical deep dive on subgroups such as atheists or agnostics. Burge also draws on data that tracks how individuals move in and out of religion over time, helping readers to understand what type of people become nones and what factors lead an individual to return to religion. This second edition includes substantial updates with new chapters and current statistical and demographic information. The Nones gives readers a nuanced, accurate, and meaningful picture of the growing number of Americans who say that they have no religious affiliation. Burge explains how this rise happened, who the nones are, and what they mean for the future of American religion.

Download or read book Finding Our Voice written by Matthew D. Kim and published by Lexham Press. This book was released on 2020-06-17 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No one preaches in a cultural vacuum. The message of what God has done in Christ is good news to all, but to have the greatest impact on its hearers--or even to be understood at all--it must be culturally contextualized. Finding Our Voice speaks clearly to an issue that has largely been ignored: preaching to Asian North American (ANA) contexts. In addition to reworking hermeneutics, theology, and homiletics for these overlooked contexts, Kim and Wong include examples of culturally-specific sermons and instructive questions for contextualizing one's own sermons. Finding Our Voice is essential reading for all who preach and teach in ANA contexts. But by examining this kind of contextualization in action, all who preach in their own unique contexts will benefit from this approach.
