Böcker av Craig Stephen Smith

God not only calls individuals to serve Him, but He calls families to serve together as well. God's heart is for the family. After all, He created the family to be the place to grow, flourish, and find His purpose and calling. Families that discover this treasure today lay the foundation for a strong and lasting legacy for their tomorrows. And that's what this book is all about. It's a Beautiful Thing is a journey into helping a family discover meaningful ways of serving God together. It will stir your heart as you pray and seek God for His leading. It is also a great resource to help the local church find ways to encourage and support family-based ministry. Craig and LaDonna Smith have three grown children, four grandchildren, and three more awaiting them in heaven. Craig is an author, speaker, and serves in a family-based music and preaching ministry that started two generations ago and continues on down to the fifth generation. The Smiths have partnered with their good friends and ministry colleagues, Ken and Becky Berge, who have their own family-based music ministry that has taken them across North America and beyond. Together they desire to see family ministries flourish here in North America and around the world, and that's a Beautiful Thing!

How does an indigenous person define the boundary lines in which to live out their faith in Christ in the context of an animistic culture? What are those boundary lines, and who or what should define them for an indigenous Christian? Should each culture be interpreting Scripture through their own cultural prism, or are the Scriptures alone authoritative and sufficient to speak to every human culture with transcendent truth?There is a growing movement in modern evangelicalism that is bringing confusion to the worldwide indigenous church that seeks to incorporate the sacred objects and cultural forms of that culture. The need exists to bring clarity to the confusion and truth to the table to help preserve the integrity of the gospel of Jesus Christ.Craig Stephen Smith seeks to answer these questions from God’s Word in his book, Indigenous Faith.  Craig is an enrolled member and tribal elder in the White Earth Band of Ojibwe Indians. He is an author, speaker, and gospel singer who, for over four decades, has brought the hope of the gospel of Jesus Christ to people across North America and in over a dozen countries worldwide.To learn more about Craig and LaDonna Smith and Tribal Rescue Ministries, please visit them at: tribalrescue.com.
