Download or read book The Cross in the Life and Ministry of the Believer written by Zacharias Tanee Fomum and published by ZTF Books Online. This book was released on 2015-05-16 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The final say of the author to the Church at large. The messages found in this book feature among the last of a series of messages delivered to the people of God in Cameroon and intended for the training of leaders. In this book, Professor Fomum presents the cross as an indispensable condition for a quality spiritual life. In short, the extent to which a believer can actually minister is proportional to the degree he/she dies to the self-life. Furthermore, the author displays the implications of the Kingdom life on earth nowadays; he ends up making suggestions on how to lay a nation down at the feet of the Lord. The cross is a central element in the life as well as the ministry of a believer. In a sense, the messages contained in this book represent the final say of the author to the Church at large. May each and everyone acknowledges and really experience the cross, such that the Holy Ghost will easily have His way in our lives for the glory of the Lord.

Download or read book Leadership in the Way of the Cross written by Sherwood G. Lingenfelter and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-05-16 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is for people who are serious about leading people—men and women who have accepted big challenges, who have passed through the fire of tough decisions, who have acknowledged they at times have failed, and have recovered for the next challenge, but do not want to repeat the past. The thesis of the book is that the journey of leadership takes us deep into the dangers of both authority and risk, and our attempts to avoid one or the other of these dangers will precipitate crisis. As a leader who desires to flourish, it is critical to ask, is anyone following? And are we following Jesus as we invite others to follow us? In this book I invite you into my journey, and the journeys of other ministry leaders, through the deep waters of crisis and the challenge of learning to lead so that people are following. This process begins with self-discovery—disclosing default habits, fears, and hungers—followed by trusting the Holy Spirit to work God’s transformation within us, and then to engaging the hard work of mobilizing his body, the people of God, so that every part is doing his work.
Download or read book Stations of the Cross with the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus written by Pope's Worldwide Prayer Network and published by Ave Maria Press. This book was released on 2015-10-16 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This personal Way of the Cross from the Pope's Worldwide Prayer Network beautifully expresses the deep connection between the Eucharist and the Cross. At each of the fourteen stations, readers are encouraged to offer themselves to the Sacred Heart of Jesus by uniting their sufferings with his in the Eucharist. The spirituality of the Pope's Worldwide Prayer Network comes to life in meditations on the classic Catholic Lenten devotion, the Stations of the Cross. Recalling the dramatic events of Jesus’ passion and death helps readers enter more fully into the celebration of the Mass that makes these events present in a real way. Focusing on the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the stations affirm how he gave up his body—his very heart—out of love for all. Originally written by Rev. Will Prospero, S.J. (1965-2014), and edited by Rev. James Kubicki, S.J., former national director of the Apostleship of Prayer (now the Pope's Worldwide Prayer Network), these stations are already beloved by followers of the ministry. Stations of the Cross with the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus is beautifully illustrated with artwork of the Stations of the Cross located in the School Sisters of St. Francis’s St. Joseph Chapel in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Download or read book Cries from the Cross written by Erwin W. Lutzer and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2015-04-17 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "To stand at the foot of the cross is to witness the purpose for which God created the world." The cross is a wonder unfathomable. Time cannot contain its reach. No heart can endure its weight. And yet it is the center of everything. It cannot be passed over. Pastor and author Erwin W. Lutzer believes that the better we grasp what the cross meant to Christ, the better we grasp what it should mean to us. To do this, Lutzer examines Jesus’ cries from the cross. Search with him and see how God’s love and justice meet. Know the weight of sin and the power of redemption. Look upon Jesus in His weakness, obedience, sorrow, and compassion. Let the scandal of the cross give you pause. The cross deserves our attention. Journey forth into the heart of Jesus, that your own heart may be shaped to His.

Download or read book The Cross in Our Context written by Douglas John Hall and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this small gem of theological reflection, North America's foremost "theologian of the cross" offers a profound and compelling contemplation on the relevance of the church's most fundamental confession. Hall ponders what confessing Jesus as crucified means in today's context, one that is postmodern, pluralistic, multicultural, and in some respects post-Christian. A digest of his monumental trilogy, this book lays out in brief compass the heart of Hall's theology of the cross, contrasting it sharply with the theology of established Christianity, showing how it reframes classical Christology and soteriology, and drawing the implications for what it means to be human, for Christian ethics, and for the church.
Download or read book The Mystery of the Cross written by Judith Couchman and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2010-03-05 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Christianity is a religion founded on the mystery of the cross of Christ." --Leo the Great At the center of Christianity sits the cross of Christ. From the beginning, Christ's followers celebrated the cross as a symbol of their faith. It was honored in church worship, carved into rough tombstones, pressed onto loaves of bread and set out as a sign of sanctuary. The cross represented what Christians believed, who they hoped for and how they approached life. In this thoughtful book Judith Couchman takes up forty images of the cross from early Christianity. As we discover the meaning and significance of each of these uses, we learn a little more about the early church. More than that, she helps us focus on the meaning of the cross and the Savior's sacrifice. Ideal for Lenten devotional reading and appropriate for any season of the church calendar, this book includes original illustrations of each cross image. The Mystery of the Cross will enrich your understanding of Christian tradition and draw you into Christ's presence.
