Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although a number of short articles have been written about him, to date, there is no complete biographical work on Ralph D. Winter (1924-2009). This study, (originally Greg Parsons' dissertation) seeks to provide a thorough account of Ralph Winter's life, tying together the threads of his life and work. It starts with his years spent in Guatemala, and leads up to Winter's groundbreaking message at the Lausanne 1974 congress. More than just a biography, Ralph D. Winter leads the reader through an analysis of issues within the history and development of missiological thinking that will fascinate anyone interested in mission history. "I have been reading your thesis for the last 40 minutes or so, and could read it all night. It is a fascinating history, and so well researched, documented and written. Thank you for your vision and perseverance in this study. It inspires me to press on in my research on the Lausanne Movement." - S. Douglas Birdsall, Executive Chair, Lausanne Committee for World Evangelization "Greg Parsons' Ralph D. Winter: Early Life and Core Missiology lets us look with fresh perspective on Ralph Winter's life journey up through his watershed contribution at the 1974 Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization. If you want to know how the stage was set for the rapid change from a previously Western dominated to the truly global church of today, this book will provide both fascinating detail and provocative insights." - Phil Butler, Founder and current Senior Strategic Advisor at visionSynergy Sign up for the WCIU Press newsletter to be notified about new books from this author and more! http: //eepurl.com/rB15L

Download or read book Planning Strategies for World Evangelization written by Edward R. Dayton and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 1990 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable. Over three billion people in the world have never heard the name of Jesus Christ. The task of evangelizing these people seems monumental. In this major study of world evangelization, however, Edward Dayton and Donald Fraser view the world not as billions of individuals but as thousands of "people groups." The Dayton-Fraser strategy includes ten basic steps that analyze and define the goals in reaching these people groups and the obstacles standing in the way. Unlike other mission strategies, this approach incorporates the social sciences and basic management principles into the context of God's sovereignty and of the church's responsibility to evangelize the world. The book includes a comprehensive bibliography reflecting the authors' extensive research in theology, sociology, anthropology, and management.

Download or read book Man of Constant Sorrow written by Ralph Stanley and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2009-10-15 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A giant of American music opens the book on his wrenching professional and personal journeys, paying tribute to the vanishing Appalachian culture that gave him his voice. He was there at the beginning of bluegrass. Yet his music, forged in the remote hills and hollows of Southwest Virginia, has even deeper roots. In Man of Constant Sorrow, Dr. Ralph Stanley gives a surprisingly candid look back on his long and incredible career as the patriarch of old-time mountain music. Marked by Dr. Ralph Stanley?s banjo picking, his brother Carter?s guitar playing, and their haunting and distinctive harmonies, the Stanley Brothers began their career in 1946 and blessed the world of bluegrass with hundreds of classic songs, including ?White Dove,? ?Rank Stranger,? and what has become Dr. Ralph?s signature song, ?Man of Constant Sorrow.? Carter died in 1966 after years of alcohol abuse, but Dr. Ralph Stanley carried on and is still at the top of his game, playing to audiences across the country today at age eighty-one. Rarely giving interviews, he now grants fans the book they have been waiting for, filled with frank recollections, from his boyhood of dire poverty in the Appalachian coalfields to his early musical success with his brother, to years of hard traveling on the road with the Clinch Mountain Boys, to the recent, jubilant revival of a sound he helped create. The story of how a musical art now popular around the world was crafted by two brothers from a dying mountain culture, Man of Constant Sorrow captures a life harmonized with equal measures of tragedy and triumph.

Download or read book All Creation Groans written by Daniel W. O'Neill and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-05-18 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a suffering world reeling from global pandemics and health disparities, it is high time to think theologically about the devastating experience of disease, and to address our God-inspired responsibility to understand its origins and engage in its management. In a fragmented world, we need a unifying and integrated perspective on people in communities embedded in a fractured ecology. In an academic world blind to the spiritual world and imbalanced toward technical solutions, the global church must articulate a contemporary metanarrative that is moral, practical, and deeply transformational. All Creation Groans brings together multiple perspectives for a compelling global-health approach to the pathologies of the world as a part of the missio Dei. The authors paint a unifying perspective on God's healing intentions in creation, redemption, and consummation, and the opposing nature-corrupting effects of the rebellion of created moral agents. It is a fresh call for the global church to engage in aligning with God's healing action for eternally sustainable global health.

Book excerpt: Experience Pentecost. Look on as 130 converts shake a city. Meet Paul. Go with him as he plants the first Gentile church. Extend the kingdom's power and see the enemy upset. Walk with Paul as he travels to Corinth, Antioch, Ephesus and beyond. For those desiring to be a part of God's action in their churches, their communities and throughout the world, there is nothing that will help more than thoroughly understanding the book of Acts and applying what we can learn from it. Acts was designed to be God's training manual for Christians. It worked in the early church, and it works in the postmodern world.
