Disability And Evangelism
$28.99Including People with Disabilities Is Essential to Your Church’s Witness
God wants people of all abilities to be active participants in his kingdom. But churches have not always made it clear that people with disabilities are both part of God’s story and fully welcome in their communities. If the church is to be a credible witness, it must reach and include people with disabilities within its evangelism, mission, and everyday life.
In Disability and Evangelism, Rochelle Scheuermann casts a vision for including people with disabilities in all aspects of evangelism, from how we understand and tell the gospel story, to how we evangelize to and with people with disabilities. This groundbreaking book invites us to reshape our evangelism theology and practice so that people with disabilities are central in all we think, say, and do. Scheuermann uncovers how God’s story in Scripture responds to the complexities of disability and provides both the means and message to share good news among people of all abilities. She then explores issues of evangelism practice, including how we understand conversion, an expanded understanding of accommodation, and pursuing interdependence in ministry.
In Disability and Evangelism, you will:
*gain a biblical understanding of both disability and evangelism;
*hear stories from people with a range of disabilities;
*study evangelism practices that go beyond traditional approaches that are key for doing evangelism with and among people with disabilities;
*understand why many people with disabilities feel excluded from and do not attend church; and
*engage with discussion questions in each chapter.
This book shows how the gospel really is good news for people of all abilities. Understanding and embracing disability is not only a matter of compassion and justice. People with disabilities will help the church to counteract faulty visions of power, autonomy, and self-promotion and to encounter the good news of Jesus more deeply. If you’re looking for a resource that invites people with disabilities to be both recipients and active participants in God’s mission, Disability and Evangelism is for you.

Wild At Heart Bible Study Guide Plus Streaming Video Updated Edition (Student/St
$22.99Have you had it with the pressure to be a nice guy?In this updated edition of the bestselling classic, Wild at Heart, author John Eldredge reminds men we need adventure in our lives . . . in our work, in our love, and our spiritual lives. He reveals how God designed men to be dangerous. Simply look at the dreams and desires written in the heart of every boy: to be a hero, to be a warrior, and to live a life of adventure and risk. Sadly, most men today have abandoned these dreams and desires-aided by a Christianity that feels like nothing more than pressure to be a nice guy. It is no wonder that many men avoid church, and those who go are often passive and bored to death.So, instead of asking what you think you ought to do to become a better man, John asks us in this study, What makes you come alive? What stirs your heart? Join John and his band of brothers as they share stories of the deep wounds of their earlier years that took away their confidence and-in some cases-their masculinity.Their stories and John’s teaching surface these important discoveries:Men are haunted by the question, Do I have what it takes?Our deepest wound comes from our fathers, and shapes us for the rest of our lives.In a world that emasculates men, we long to be the hero-we have a battle to fight!We are searching for a beauty to love.We are wired for an adventure to live.Men, it’s time to recover our masculine heart, and step into the identity that God designed for us-dangerous, passionate, alive, and free!Sessions include:The Heart of a ManThe PowerThe WoundThe BattleThe BeautyAdventureStreaming video access code included.

Becoming Like Jesus Bible Study Guide Plus Streaming Video (Student/Study Guide)
$22.99When Jesus spoke the blessed are . . . Beatitudes, He didn’t say they were a formula for happiness or the keys to the kingdom. Instead, they were a declaration from God about us as His followers in spite of our weaknesses and failures. The Christian life is not a series of mountaintop, blissful, nothing-ever-goes-wrong moments but a series of ups and does the Holy Spirit uses to shape us into Christ.In Becoming Like Jesus, bestselling author and pastor Matt Chandler will guide you through one of the more famous passages of Scripture-Jesus’ Beatitudes (Matthew 5:1-12). While you may read these blessed are . . . statements and think, Once I get it all together, then I’ll feel blessed-that’s not actually what Jesus said. When introducing the Beatitudes, Jesus didn’t describe eight different kinds of people but eight qualities of the same person.These Beatitudes are not what make you a Christian. But if you are a Christian, over time Jesus is going to turn you more and more into this kind of person that reflects God’s kingdom. You can’t just decide to be poor in spirit. You can’t just determine that you’ll be meek or disciplined enough to be pure in heart. No, as you seek a deeper and more intimate relationship with Jesus Christ through the Gospels, He will develop in you a new way of living that helps you:understand how desperately you need God,mourn not only your sins but the state of the world,humbly serve the Lord instead of build your own kingdom,hunger and thirst for right relationships with God and others,show mercy because of how merciful Jesus has been to you,seek purity by living with integrity and being transparent,share the peace and good news of Jesus wherever you go, andremember your heavenly reward when enduring persecution on earth.Wherever you are in your journey, whatever your stage in life, and regardless of whether the Beatitudes are challenging right now, you can be sure God is shaping you into someone who looks like Jesus. Don’t be discouraged, because every high and low, every victory and loss, is being used by God to move you forward.This study guide includes:Individual access to five streaming video sessionsVideo notes and a comprehensive structure for group discussion timePersonal study for deeper reflection between sessionsA guide to best practices for leading a groupStreaming video access included.

Augustinian Pastor : Deep Wisdom For Modern Ministry
$27.99Discover Augustine’s Pastoral Heart for Today’s Complex Challenges
Can embracing Augustine as a role model and mentor transform pastoral life and ministry? In The Augustinian Pastor, Joseph Sherrard invites readers to encounter Augustine anew–not merely as a theologian or philosopher but as a pastor and mentor.
Sherrard weaves together the story of Augustine’s life and his various writings to offer pastors a deep well of wisdom for ministry today, exploring both who the pastor is and how that informs the various things the pastor does. You’ll discover:
*a pastoral mentor for modern ministry–encounter Augustine as a fellow shepherd who sustained a lifetime of faithful ministry
*wisdom for who you are, not just what you do–explore the pastor’s story, rule of life, friendships, and heart before diving into preaching, discipleship, and ecclesiology
*practical implementation–each chapter concludes with concrete suggestions for applying Augustinian principles to your specific context
*deep wells for weary shepherds–find time-tested insights on pastoral friendship, pride and humility, the cure of souls, and the church community
After more than a decade of ministry, Sherrard encountered Augustine afresh; he found that Augustine’s writings and sermons came alive when he heard them in the voice of a fellow pastor shepherding his flock. Sherrard discovered a mentor who had walked the road before him. Augustine understood the complexities of ministry, navigating the challenges of his own complicated times while guiding his people through church conflict and forming them for the ordinary work of love.
With a foreword by Esau McCaulley, The Augustinian Pastor offers timeless wisdom, insight, and encouragement for the work of pastoral ministry.
