Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whereas much of the current literature on pastoring stresses up-to-date training and new techniques stemming from the behavioral sciences, Eugene Peterson here calls for returning to an "old" resource--the Bible--as the basis for all of pastoral ministry.

Download or read book Smooth Stones written by Joe Coffey and published by Cruciform Press. This book was released on 2011-06 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Street-level apologetics for everyday Christians. This book was written for two reasons: First, too many people think believing in Christianity means blind faith, against all evidence, the way a child believes in Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy. Nothing could be further from the truth. Second, every few years a new book intended to undermine Christianity becomes a best seller and shakes the faith of many. Yet the arguments in these books are rarely compelling. Jesus likened faith in God to a house built on a foundation. If built on sand, storms of doubt will tear the house apart. But if we build on a solid foundation, we will stand. In these pages, Joe Coffey inspects our foundation -- so we can know why we believe, and so we can speak of our faith to others with greater confidence and clarity. The conclusion? The Christian faith is built on a tremendous amount of credible evidence. You don't need to be a scientist, an historian, an archeologist, or a philosopher to understand why belief in Jesus makes perfect sense. Think of the last time an unbeliever asked you a seemingly unanswerable question as a way of supporting their unbelief. Did you feel thwarted in your attempt to "give an account for the hope that is in you"? Smooth Stones answers six of the toughest of these questions: How do you know God exists? How can you be sure the Bible is authentic and true? If God exists, why is there evil and suffering? Doesn't science disprove the Bible? Aren't all religions the same? How can you be sure the claims of Christ are true? Joe Coffey writes in a style that is clear, winsome, and compelling. Smooth Stones will equip you with answers to some of the toughest apologetics questions a Christian can face. There is plenty of evidence to support the claims of Christianity. Smooth Stones puts much of that evidence at your fingertips and offers practical guidelines for how to unpack it in ways that are "gentle and reverent."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE FIVE SMOOTH STONES OF In human life, some stories and symbols stay the same over time, adding threads of wisdom and inspiration to our shared awareness.

This book should help you on your spiritual path, give you ideas, and tell you that you have the tools to face your giants, just like David did with his sling and stones. May these pages help you connect with the sounds of the past and rediscover the power of the "Five Smooth Stones."

Five Stones is a series of clear and compelling lessons. Each lesson arms the reader with practical and powerful tools of self-discovery, so that the reader’s own liabilities, opportunities, convictions, and capabilities are revealed.

Book excerpt: Five smooth stones come about as a result of what happens in 1 Samuel 17:40. "Then he took his staff in his hand, chose five smooth stones from the stream, put them in the pouch of his shepherd's bag and, with his sling in his hand, approached the Philistine." The philistine was goliath, a giant over six cubits tall who tormented Gods people. All trembled at the thought of facing him as it meant sure death. David, a young lad, was not afraid. He had trusted God in other battles and knew he would guide him again. David did not use the armament of men, but trusted Gods covering to protect him. While David took four extra stones, he knew with Gods guidance one was all he needed. In this book, we will attempt to give you five stones to defeat the giants in your life. They are reusable!
