Most churches are not as effective as they could be in their marketing ministry because printed communications are not seen as vital and essential tools in church growth. Often, church publications primarily consist of getting the bulletin and newsletter completed, plus whatever flyers people need for youth group meetings or the church potluck. This book gives a simple how-to explanation of how to implement a church marketing plan. Using church growth paradigms combined with proven marketing strategies and specific publication techniques, this book shows pastors, church leaders, and administration staff how to produce publications that will grow their churches and change the lives of people in congregations. This book assists pastors and other church leaders intentionally move people from one stage of church growth to the next.
David Young's Servant Leadership for Church Renewal is a logical sequel to his earlier book, A New Heart and a New Spirit. Drawing on his experience as a pastor and a teacher of pastors, the author offers his own thorough, practical, and biblically based perspective on the meaning, implications, and importance of servant leadership. This is a useful resource for seminary students, pastors, and lay leaders. --Richard Stoll Armstrong, Princeton Theological Seminary Young's book is a highly recommended read for any pastor seeking to bring renewal to the church through self-renewal and a commitment to a godly leadership so needed in the church today. --Scott Rodin, President, Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary Young's book will be a strong stimulus to pastors and congregational leaders in many settings. It balances content and programming in a flexible and sensitive way. I recommend this book on servant leadership. --George R. Brunk III, Dean, Eastern Mennonite Seminary David Young's presentations have effective references to Scripture, clear and concise outlines, and practical applications and illustrations. I have always been enriched in seminars taught by David Young. --Richard Sisco, Pastor, Akron (PA) Church of the Brethren When we were developing a church vision, we consulted with David. His time with us was beneficial in helping us to be sensitive to the ministry God is uniquely creating at Frazer Mennonite Church. --Jason Kuniholm, Pastor, Frazer (PA) Mennonite Church Servant Leadership for Church Renewal is a must read book for any and all servant leaders in the Kingdom of God. David S. Young masterfully explores the Bible and creatively teaches leaders the challenge of being in leadership in the Christian Church. This book was long overdue for the body of Christ. Every leader, every church member, every laity should be required to read this book before being allowed to serve in any capacity in the church. The author shows us through the word that we are called not to just be leaders who hold a position and title but rather we are called to lead people to a deeper and more fulfilling place in God. I have designed all my Leadership Training at Union Baptist Church around this book. It is a must have and a must read for all pastors and laity. --Rev. Antonio D. Anderson, Union Baptist Church in the Village of Harlem, New York

At the heart of the earliest Christian self-understanding, explicit or implicit in much Christian use of the Old Testament, and crucial for Christian theology and interpretation, the concept of 'messiah' in the Old Testament has, however, been eclipsed by the pursuit of other goals in the Old Testament studies. Few recent sustained treatments have appeared from any school of thought. The Lord's Anointed aims to redress the balance. It also recognizes that the study of this topic must always be contemporary: Old Testament studies have changed dramatically in recent years, giving rise to new challenges as well as new opportunities for Christian reading of it.
Follow the Right Reverend Bishop John M. Duffey as he explains the duality of human understanding, the complementary natures of science and religion, and the various perspectives regarding the compatibility of science and religion. In this book, Duffey demonstrates the error in believing that science and religion conflict or are incompatible. Science and Religion is a journey through the definitive and complementary natures of religion (all religions) and science on to an explanation and demonstration of their individual and combined contributions to the whole of human universal understanding. By the end of this marvelous tour of contemplation the reader will be left with greater enlightenment regarding science, religion, and human perception and responsibility.
At eighty-five, Jacques Maritain, the most distinguished Catholic philosopher of the twentieth century, has written what he offers as his last book, and it turns out to be a shocker. The ""peasant,"" as Maritain calls himself in the title, is a man who calls a spade a spade; and a storm of controversy descended immediately on the book's publication in France, as both Right and Left reeled from the force of Maritain's criticism.The Peasant of the Garonne is a sharp attack on the ""new philosophy,"" hoping to cool off the fever for change that Maritain believes is imperiling the church's traditional spirituality and even the substance of doctrine. There is sardonic humor in his treatment of Teilhardians, phenomenologists, existentialists, new-style biblical critics, and clerical Freudians, but Maritain is deeply serious in warning that their capitulation to fashioniable trends represents a kind of ""kneeling before the world.""
This collection of biblical, theological, historical, and pastoral essays celebrates the remarkable forty-year ministry of the Rev. Dr. Robert S. (""Rob"") Rayburn. A man of scholarly gifts and a shepherd's heart, Rob not only faithfully served a single congregation for his entire ministerial career, but also contributed to the wider church through his perceptive theological writings. Just as Rob embodied pastoral warmth, intellectual rigor, and an appreciation for the catholicity of the Christian tradition, so too the essays of this ""ecclesial Festschrift"" seek to bring scholarly expertise into the service of Christ's church.""What you hold in your hands is a weighty book, a treasure of knowledge, brimming with deep biblical, theological, and historical reflection. These chapters set before the reader the subtlety and richness of the reformed tradition, always rooted in the catholicity of the Christian church. To read them is to glimpse the kind of wisdom that infused the remarkable ministry of Robert Rayburn, a faithful herald of God. Rob embodied the 'pastor-theologian' long before it was trendy, and this book honors his love of learning, his love of the people of God, and above all, his love of God. A fitting tribute!""--Hans Madueme, Professor of Theology, Covenant College""These essays, written particularly from an ecclesial context, also provide perspective on Rob Rayburn's significant contribution and lasting influence as a member of the Board of Trustees of Covenant College, where Word, scholarship, celebration of God's manifold gifts and callings, and generational continuity are at the heart of the mission. How grateful to God we are for the blessing of his thirty-seven years of leadership at Covenant!""--Niel Nielson, Former President, Covenant CollegeMax Rogland is Associate Professor of Old Testament at Erskine Theological Seminary and Senior Minister of Rose Hill Presbyterian Church in Columbia, South Carolina. He is the author of Haggai and Zechariah 1-8 (2016).
Vital Apologetic Issues Vital . . . pertaining to life; essential; of critical importance. Apologetic . . . a systematic defense of the authenticity and authority of Christian truth. Issues . . . a point or matter, the decision of which is of special or public importance. When it comes to giving a reasoned defense of one's faith, just knowing definitions isn't enough. It helps to have reliable guidance through the critical issues of apologetics such as philosophical questions regarding the Christian faith or biblical reliability. Vital Apologetic Issues: Examining Reason and Revelation in Biblical Perspective draws upon the insights and study of numerous evangelical scholars and writers to address crucial questions in the field of Christian apologetics. Some of the chapters included are: The Nature and Origin of Evil by Robert Culver Biblical Naturalism and Modern Science by Henry M. Morris Ebla and Biblical Historical Inerrancy by Eugene H. Merrill Theological Problems with Theistic Evolution by David H. Lane Christian readers, church leaders, and pastors will appreciate the insight and guidance of Vital Apologetic Issues.
Here a New Testament scholar combines a study of the Greek text of Matthew 26-28 with devotional reflections that help us understand and appreciate the Lord's Supper. The book may be used to prepare communion meditations and Lenten sermons. It is especially useful for devotional reading by both clergy and laypersons. An excerpt: Many innocent people have been undone by conspiracy in high places. Jesus and the martyrs of the church have faced what many face today: injustice, oppression, the jealousy of petty officials, conspiracy. Only one act in all of human history could overcome such littleness. In only one place will we find consolation and solace in the face of overwhelming injustice. Only one table is large enough to accommodate a meal for both the oppressors and the oppressed. And we gather there in this moment.
The fruit of her determined prayer for a way to give her spirit time to catch up, this pithy reflection on the qualities of time will introduce highly respected biblical scholar, professor, pastor, widow, friend, and author Bonnie Thurston to a wider audience - everyone who is time-pressed and deadline pressured. The news is good: Time is the creation of a generous God who always provides not only the bare essentials, but usually a feast. As the writer of Ecclesiastes mused: For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven. It is with her trust in this abundance that Thurston explores the mystery of time and the rediscovery of the Judeo-Christian understanding of time as God's sacred and bountiful gift. She looks at time from both a historical and a theological perspective; she studies seasons as measured by the liturgical cycle, the monastic day, the jubilee year, and the Sabbath; and she ponders the meaning of time participles - familiar phrases such as finding time, making time, spending time, and marking time. With her encouragement, the reader will discover that there is enough time - if we redeem the time by reclaiming the Sabbath, the time built into the rhythm of creation by God for rest and re-creation. 'To Everything a Season' offers reflection exercises to help us understand both how we think about and how we use time, as well as suggestions for ways of making Sabbath in the midst of our own crowded lives. The result is an invitation and a recipe for living in the present moment, in God's eternal Now.

Do people still memorize things these days? It just may be impossible. Maybe you should stop reading right here, right now. Just walk away. Your life could remain exactly the same. But what if you could have God speak to you in a way that would help you navigate the next difficult thing in front of you? What if your words and actions could be kinder and more patient? These fifty-two powerful verses in fifty-two weeks provide insight into how God wants you to live. If you accept this challenge, God's words are always available to you when you don't know what to do. You will have them at work, at home, at school, or wherever you go. This might shake up your world a bit. Or a lot. Are you ready to step up your game? It's go time. Are you in?
This short book, magnificently researched, brings a wealth of insight into one of the most important figures in modern church history, Charles Simeon (1759-1836), a contemporary and friend of William Wilberforce, who was vicar of Holy Trinity Church, Cambridge, for over fifty years. He left an indelible mark on the Church of England, and on world mission, and his legacy stretches down to us today.Intervarsity/USA, Inter-Varsity Canada, and the American and Canadian Bible Societies trace their roots back to him. More than 150 years later, John Stott would say that Simeon taught him to preach.""Charles Simeon was the most influential evangelical in the age of Wilberforce--a powerful influence over successive generations of Cambridge ordinands. Here is an attractive vignette of a great preacher and a great man.""--David Bebbington, Professor of History, University of Stirling""Charles Simeon''s commitment to expository preaching, personal godliness, and global mission is inspiring. I pray it will continue to influence evangelical ministry for generations to come.""--Vaughan Roberts, Rector, St Ebbe''s Church, Oxford""Charles Simeon''s galvanizing life can be summed up by his passion: ''to know nothing among you save Jesus Christ and Him crucified.'' Julia Cameron''s accessible introduction allows us to taste of Simeon''s devotion to prayer, preaching, and future generations. Cameron gives us a marvelous framework of Simeon, his essence as a follower of Jesus, and an essential, compressed narrative to appreciate Simeon''s role in how God advances His work in this world.""--Benjamin K. Homan, President, Langham Partnership USA (formerly John Stott Ministries)""Julia Cameron''s short book is a good introduction to Charles Simeon of Cambridge, whose decades-long commitment to excellent preaching powerfully influenced the early nineteenth-century English Church struggling for relevance in a society both ignorant and contemptuous of biblical Christianity. This book will thus encourage today''s Christians everywhere.

The Faces of Friendship is one woman''s mapping of the interlocking dynamics of friendship that penetrate to the deepest roots within us--our innate sense of belonging both to God and to each other.Isabel Anders, author of personal reflections that ""reverberate with spiritual insight"" (Arthur Livingston in New Oxford Review)--Awaiting the Child, Soul Moments, and Seasons for the Soul--has collected here in one volume her insights on the various faces of friendship that we encounter daily, with hints of paths we may follow for our souls'' instruction and delight.But this is no simple prescription for everyone or every situation. Anders''s strong theological grounding in the underlying meaning of friendship teems with biblical and classical understandings that stretch the reader and invite ongoing interaction--with questions, quotes, and further insights for individuals and groups at the end of each chapter.""To Be a Friend of God ... Befriending Yourself ... Man-Woman Friendships ... When Friendship Falters ... Friendship and Maturity ... are among the rich themes that interplay in these pages, as Anders''s intriguing case for friendship in the Spirit explores the essential human longing to ''know'' and ''be known'' on our journey here below.""--Arthur Livingston, New Oxford Review.Also by Isabel AndersAwaiting the Child: An Advent Journal""Anders expresses Advent''s multiple themes in language that launches into poetry. This is a book to be savored, reflected on, prayed over. It is a wonderful way to move through Advent toward the light in the darkness, the mystery of Christmas.""--Celebration magazineSoul Moments: Times When Heaven Touches Earth""Soul Moments is ... a beautiful, encouraging, hopeful book. I loved reading it.""--Madeleine L''Engle.""With charm and an eye for the sacred embedded in everyday moments, Isabel Anders helps us see more clearly, more deeply.

This book is a logical study of ''sudden'' and ''suddenly'' in the Old and the New Testament by a renowned scholar on the subject. Discussion includes the events surrounding the usage of this vocabulary as well as the import behind the variations involved.David Daube (1909-1999) was a world renowned biblical law scholar. He was a fellow at All Souls College at Oxford, and emeritus professor of law at Oxford as well as emeritus professor of law at University of California, Berkeley. Throughout his life and continuing today, scholars have hailed his important research on Roman law, biblical law, Hebraic Law, and ethics.

This book shows how the Bible offers timeless wisdom for any age, but has special guidance for older people. Author Richard Morgan has chosen 120 Scripture readings, in tribute to Moses--recorded as living one hundred and twenty years when he died--and written a series of reflections on Bible characters whose experience of aging speaks across the centuries to us today. Author Jane Marie Thibault asks the question, Would you accept the gift of 120 years with joy and gratitude, or would you respond according to your circumstances? . . . For the first time in the history of humankind many of us may have the opportunity to live that long. We can reasonably expect that we will soon accept the gift of 120 years. Is this good news or bad news for you? Medical science has extended our years and given us longevity, but medical science cannot give us meaning for these years. The meditations in this book offer stories of older Biblical men and women, like Abraham and Sarah, Elizabeth and Zechariah, Simeon and Ann, who offer wisdom on how to find meaning in these later years. Morgan's book would be good reading for older adults and those who have not yet had to face the challenges of the later years. Its wisdom offers the prayer, May you die young at a very old age.
These essays attempt to fill a growing need for a more exact idea of the role of religion, specifically in the Judaeo-Christian tradition, in shaping the traditional cultural images that have degraded and suppressed women. This book provides, in the compass of a single work, a glimpse of the history of the relationship of patriarchal religion to feminine imagery and to the actual psychic and social self-images of women.
Engaging College Men is a ground-breaking collection of essays by mentors of college men and high school boys on what works to increase their engagement as citizens and participants in the common good. Sponsored by the Lilly Endowment, Engaging College Men presents a variety of programs at fourteen colleges and universities and select high schools and reports on their widely differing ways of guiding men to vocational discernment and a sense of purpose in life. As enrollments of men in college decline, this book is essential reading for college services administrators, teachers, and counselors who are committed to involving males in academic life and service to the community.""An important, well conceived, and neatly presented body of research on how college men go about vocational discernment--sorting out what they want to do with their lives. With a great deal of valuable information and insight, it offers interesting case studies drawn from a variety of colleges, all of which are framed by a larger discussion of deeply gendered nature of that process. Editors Gar Kellom and Miles Groth are seasoned scholars who care deeply about the education and well-being of boys and men. Because of its broader implications, this book will be of general interest to anyone concerned with spirituality, masculinity, or career development.""--Chip Capraro, Associate Dean, Hobart and William Smith CollegesGar Kellom, PhD, served as the Vice President for Student Development at Carroll College (WI) and St. John''s University (MN) from 1984-2010.

Comprised of the wisdom of over fifty scholars, preachers, poets, and artists, this anthology is born of the conviction that open-hearted engagement across our differences is a prerequisite for healthy civic life today. The collection offers inspiration to faith leaders, social-justice activists, and secular readers alike, while simultaneously providing an accessible window onto lived Islam. Taken as a whole, One Nation, Indivisible highlights principles and practices of anti-racism work, and its contributors argue for a robust vision of American pluralism. While most of the contributors reside in the United States, through their stories of encounter, they bring a global perspective and encourage us all, wherever we may be, to find ways of traversing our otherwise isolating enclaves. ""This prayerful, poetic, and prophetic collection will inspire you to build a nation that welcomes the contributions of all people.""--Eboo Patel, Founder and President, Interfaith Youth Core, Author, Out Of Many Faiths: Religious Diversity and the American Promise""The next time any politician, pundit, or preacher starts a sentence with ''why don''t Muslims ever. . .''--hand them One Nation, Indivisible and invite them to learn a bit more before they speak. White people have a moral obligation to speak up on white supremacy; similarly non-Muslims must speak out against Islamophobia and bigotry. Many of the dozens of scholars, poets, activists, and preachers featured in this book are not Muslim, but they share a commitment to working alongside people of every background to create an America that never has been but might yet be, in which common values of dignity and justice weave our collective destinies together. If you long for social hope, spiritual sustenance, and creative inspiration for the work that America has to do, then this collection of essays is for you.""--Paul Brandeis Raushenbush, Senior Vice President, Editor, Voices ""This heartfelt collection of spiritual and artistic works, curated by a gifted scholar and educator, calls us to renew our commitment to religious pluralism.

M.F. Sadler was an Anglican priest. He served as rector of Honiton, England, and wrote several other commentaries, including volumes on each of the four Gospels. SADLER, MICHAEL FERREBEE (1819-1895), theologian, eldest son of Michael Thomas Sadler [q. v.], was born at Leeds in 1819. Educated at Sherborne school, he entered St. John's College, Cambridge, after a short interval of business life. He was elected Tyrwhitt's Hebrew scholar in 1846, and graduated B.A. 1847. He was vicar of Bridgwater from 1857 to 1864 (during which time he was appointed to the prebend of Combe, 13th in Wells Cathedral), and of St. Paul's, Bedford, from 1864 to 1869; he was rector of Honiton from 1869 till his death. In 1869 he received an offer of the bishopric of Montreal, carrying with it the dignity of metropolitan of Canada, but refused it on medical advice. He was a voluminous writer on theological subjects, and a strong high churchman. His works, which had a large circulation, did much to popularise the tractarian doctrines.
There are four ways to revitalize a church, organizationally speaking. The easiest change is policy change. You simply adjust the way you do things.A second strategy is to change personnel. Firing the minister or electing new lay leaders is a common approach.Another change tactic is to create new program structures. Reorganization plans are familiar in institutions of all kinds.Change policy. Change people. Change programs. Each of these approaches has its advocates. But the approach I suggest is the most basic of all--clarify purpose.The fourth way to revitalize a church is to define and act on its fundamental purpose. A new dream awakes a congregation. A poster motto challenges: "Aim for the sun. You may not reach it, but you will fly higher that if you never aimed at all."--from the Foreword
