Book excerpt: In this Literature course for 7-8 grade, students will read three classic works of literature written from a Christian perspective, including a historical fiction account of the life of Christ, a novel, and a classic missionary biography.Titus: A Comrade of the CrossOriginally published in 1894, this fictional recounting of the life of Christ was so popular that after six weeks, another 200,000 copies were produced by the publisher. Kingsley retells the life of Christ, using the four Gospels as her guide. Titus powerfully shows the mercy and compassion of Jesus for sinners. In this story, you will find sadness and sorrow, but you will also find the power of Jesus at work to "heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound." (Isaiah 61:1)The Swiss Family RobinsonFollowing a raging storm in the Pacific, a Swiss family is shipwrecked on a deserted island. Together, they will labor to build a new Switzerland, in a faraway place. The family will learn, over and over again, that God is the all-merciful Provider of everything that we enjoy. God is the bountiful Creator who has made the things of this earth for the benefit of His creatures.The Life of Henry MartynOriginally published in 1832 by the American Sunday School Union, this short biography of one the greatest missionaries of the 19th century was written to encourage young people to dedicate their lives to the sacred work of serving the Lord Jesus Christ. Henry Martyn willingly gave up his life for the cause of Christ's gospel in faraway lands. He spent years in India and Persia, laboring to translate the Scriptures so that the peoples of those lands would come to know the saving gospel of Jesus Christ.

Download or read book Adventures in Churchland written by Dan Kimball and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2012-06-05 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Would Jesus Attend Church Today? Among the top ten trends that are changing American life, Time magazine recently listed a rising dissatisfaction with organized religion. Though many people today like Jesus, they are growing tired of traditional religious institutions. Even those who follow Jesus aren't so sure they always like what Christianity and the church represent. For many years, Dan Kimball would have agreed, until an encounter with a small group of Jesus followers started him on a journey that challenged him to rethink everything he had ever assumed about the church. In Adventures in Churchland, Dan invites you to join him as he uncovers what the Bible really says about the church and reminds us that it's more than just an institution; it's a beautiful mess of broken people learning to follow Jesus together. As you journey with Dan, you'll begin to see the church as Jesus intended it to be: a community of forgiven misfits coming together to serve the world around them with passion, creativity, innovation, and grace. "If you don’t like the church, or if you’re thinking about leaving, please read this book first. Dan’s stories will make you laugh, make you think, and make you appreciate the church like never before." – Mark Batterson, author of The Circle Maker "Dan encourages us to break through the tension and messiness that church communities inevitably encounter to experience the beauty of being in community and sharing God's infinite love with others." – Zach Lind, drummer, Jimmy Eat World "I am so glad that my friend Dan has written this book, because there is a lot of confusion out there about Jesus and the church." – Wanda Jackson, Queen of Rockabilly and member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
