Download or read book The Skinny on Discipleship written by Katie Edwards and published by Group Publishing, Inc. . This book was released on 2015-05-28 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life-shaping discipleship isn’t a random event. It’s an intentional adventure, and teenagers need someone who’s walking with them on the journey and helping them grow as a disciple of Jesus Christ. Jesus modeled this for us through relationship with his closest disciples. He spent time with them, shared life with them, taught them to obey, shared experiences with them, gave them direction, and promised to be with them. This is what we are called to as youth workers—the model for us to follow. The Skinny on Discipleship will become a practical guide in your role as a disciple-maker. You’ll discover innovative insights and powerful encouragement for knowing Jesus, loving him, and placing him at the center of your life—and then helping teenagers along on that same journey. When it comes to discipleship, there are no shortcuts, there’s no handbook for teenagers, and there’s no timeline on what it will take to help each teenager draw closer to Jesus. But you can follow the model of Jesus, rely on the truth that he’s with you, and remember that ultimately he loves teenagers even more than you do.
Download or read book Eschatological Discipleship written by Trevin Wax and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2018-04-01 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discipleship is eschatological in nature, because the church that makes and receives disciples is eschatological in nature. Often eschatology is thought to refer only to “last things” doctrines. However, eschatology in its broader sense encompasses the Christian view of time and the future of the world, informing both one’s evangelism and ecclesiology. Failing to relate the eschatological dimension to discipleship leaves one with an incomplete worldview, imbalanced discipleship, and eventually, a tragic inability to model the Christian way of life. By answering questions like “What time is it?” and “Where is history going?” Trevin Wax helps Christians view the past, present, and future biblically, and shapes their understanding of following Jesus.
Download or read book The Skinny on Volunteers written by Jonathan McKee and published by Group Publishing, Inc. . This book was released on 2015-05-28 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A youth ministry needs a solid group of volunteers to be truly effective. We youth workers all know this—but how do we make it happen? Let’s be honest: Many of us don’t do a great job of mobilizing volunteers and equipping them for ministry. Our plate is already full, and building a great team sounds like yet another task to add to the list. But what if your efforts to mobilize and equip volunteers actually lightened your schedule? What if this investment of time actually paid back double, quadruple, or even tenfold? The Skinny on Volunteers will help you concentrate on three simple skills that will help you build a crew of effective leaders: recruiting, keeping, and training volunteers. Yes, volunteers take time. But you’ll discover the rewards of investing in a team of people who will love teenagers, connect with them, and disciple them.
Download or read book The Disciple written by Ken Holmes and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2014-09-28 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Big Guy in Heaven is pissed off with the endemic greed, corruption and dishonesty in the world and his representatives on earth are doing little to stop it – in fact, they’re just as bad. He decides a radical new Disciple is needed, and summons his archangels to come up with the right candidate. Archangel Voice (or Voicie), spaced out on moon juice, selects Jimmy Downie. Jimmy – hardworking, drinks a few pints when funds allow, and plays footie on Saturday, his only religion Liverpool FC – takes his family to Corfu on their first holiday. The family arrives at the airport – and the hustle and bustle of the Departures hall suddenly stops. It as if someone has pressed the pause button, freezing everyone in time – except Jimmy. Through the silence, a voice announces, not the next flight, but Jimmy’s mission – he is the Disciple. “The world is rife with greed and corruption, and the priests and vicars are doing precious little to stop it. In a nutshell, the Big Guy called all the Archangels together – big meeting sort of thing. Anyway, in another nutshell, he told us to come up with the radical alternative disciple sort of thing. And, er… anyway, I suggested you. You’re the chosen one.” Then click, normal service resumes. A stunned Jimmy tries to question what just happened, but nobody else is aware of what has just happened, or how massively Jimmy’s life has just changed. Jimmy now embarks on a heart-searching journey as he tries to come to terms with his enormous responsibility… and his apparent ability to perform miracles. His only guide through the resulting chaos is the oddball archangel Voicie. What ensues is a hilarious (and often irreverent) novel, described by author Ken as ‘The Bible... with jokes.”

Download or read book Reluctant Prophets and Clueless Disciples written by Bob Darden and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A college-level introduction that invites students into biblical studies through creative, humorous re-telling of the basic biblical narratives. The Bible is foreign territory for students encountering it in introductory classes. Even those who have spent many years in church have rarely read much of it. To most of us it looks like a big collection of rules, lists, and theological arguments. But in reality, most of the Bible is made up of stories. Sometimes they re inspiring, sometimes they re funny, sometimes they re weird, but they re never dull. The best way to get into the Bible, says Robert Darden, is to get to know its stories. In this new approach to introducing the Bible to students, Darden covers the major biblical stories and characters, retelling them in such a way as to bring out their original humor and pathos, and inviting the student to encounter them more fully by moving into the text itself.
Download or read book Disciple of the Dog written by R. Scott Bakker and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2010-11-23 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disciple of the Dog, a crime thriller from acclaimed master of speculative fiction R. Scott Bakker "And you wonder why I'm cynical. I've literally ‘seen it all before.' The truth is we all have, every single one of us past the age of, say, twenty-five. The only difference is that I remember." No matter how hard he drinks, gambles, or womanizes, Disciple Manning simply cannot forget: not a word spoken, not an image glimpsed, not a pain suffered. Disciple Manning has total recall. Whatever he hears, he can remember with 100% accuracy. He can play it back in his head for an infinite number of times without a single change. This ability makes him a dangerously unorthodox private investigator. When a New Jersey couple hires Manning to find their daughter, who joined a religious cult before vanishing in a small rust-belt town called Ruddick, he finds himself embroiled in a mystery that will pit his unnatural ability to remember against his desperate desire to forget. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Disciples of Goedric A Trilogy I. Gay Gene Rising II. Guardians of the Blood III. SoulFire and Tears The Sons and Daughters of Goedric had fallen. For more than 2,700 years their once noble creed drifted, trapped in time like a ripple across an endless sea with no hope of shore. All that remained were broken memories and a fragile hope that had been cast into the winds of time by Judea-the_just and Ruth the Raven-Haired. In the not so distant future, young Etan flees his Chicago apartment, narrowly escaping IFC henchmen who will stop at nothing to get him back under their control. Burdened by relentless fits and horrific visions, his only hope rests with a rag-tag group of friends, led by two tough, old-guard lesbians who never thought they’d live long enough to witness the horrors of a second gay plague. Sue DeGault and Sue Keller pray for strength as they prepare to battle fate and the IFC, a corporate goliath controlled by a ancient and powerful family that could trace its roots to the days of King Yoshiyahu... a family that had been raging a war against homosexuals for thousands of years. Far away in the remote mountains of Mexico, a great grey-wolf raises ts muzzle and curled back his lips to taste the air. The scent of blood stings his palette, and he howls into ancient winds as they paint the mists with death. The winds were born on the battlefield, in a time long past. They saw the Great Purge of King Yoshiyahu. They witnessed the atrocities that were committed in the name of Yahweh, and they moaned in anguish as the blood of the Disciples of Goedric muddied the ground. His great howl echoed through the mountaintops, heralding the second dawn of Man's hope, and the very universe braced itself for the impossible... and the Eternal Void trembled in fear.
