Adventures in Churchland
Author: Dan Kimball
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310313783
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
Would Jesus Attend Church Today? Among the top ten trends that are changing American life, Time magazine recently listed a rising dissatisfaction with organized religion. Though many people today like Jesus, they are growing tired of traditional religious institutions. Even those who follow Jesus aren't so sure they always like what Christianity and the church represent. For many years, Dan Kimball would have agreed, until an encounter with a small group of Jesus followers started him on a journey that challenged him to rethink everything he had ever assumed about the church. In Adventures in Churchland, Dan invites you to join him as he uncovers what the Bible really says about the church and reminds us that it's more than just an institution; it's a beautiful mess of broken people learning to follow Jesus together. As you journey with Dan, you'll begin to see the church as Jesus intended it to be: a community of forgiven misfits coming together to serve the world around them with passion, creativity, innovation, and grace. "If you don’t like the church, or if you’re thinking about leaving, please read this book first. Dan’s stories will make you laugh, make you think, and make you appreciate the church like never before." – Mark Batterson, author of The Circle Maker "Dan encourages us to break through the tension and messiness that church communities inevitably encounter to experience the beauty of being in community and sharing God's infinite love with others." – Zach Lind, drummer, Jimmy Eat World "I am so glad that my friend Dan has written this book, because there is a lot of confusion out there about Jesus and the church." – Wanda Jackson, Queen of Rockabilly and member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

Adventures in the Spirit
Author: Philip Clayton
Publisher: Fortress Press
ISBN: 1451416040
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
In Adventures in the Spirit, respected and influential theologian Philip Clayton argues that two major intellectual movements of our day-panentheism and emergence-are converging and that together they offer exciting new vistas for theological reflection. On the one hand, over the last decades many theologians have been re-conceiving the God-world relation panentheistically, affirming a radical indwelling of God within the world and the world within God. On the other hand, scientists have begun to abandon the reductionist ideology that characterized much of the modern period, with a new emphasis on emergence. Their study of how new, novel structures and entities arise throughout the evolutionary process yields a much more open-ended, holistic vision of reality, Clayton argues.

At what point do you decide to live a Christian life? Is it through a life-changing experience or is it gradual? Join this group of young Christians as they're accompanied by their pastor and a well-liked elder on a backpacking trip into Yosemite is filled with adventures; a glacier hike, swimming in the wild, and views of some of the most beautiful scenery imaginable. Everything a back-packing trip should be - with some surprises. The elder's past is revealed and his connection with one of the boys. The boys find out who they are and what they're made of. The characters are approachable and the story is not preachy or patronizing, so the reader can easily share it with friends outside the church. It provides an easy opening for conversations about God, prayer and faith without being condescending. A Christian-based partnership between Geoff Fredericks and Kathleen Martens have led this creative writing team in the first of many Christian adventures. It blessed us so much that after we finished this book, we wrote four more. We will keep writing as long as the Holy Spirit blesses our efforts. Our goal is to touch your soul so that you may get to know God better and receive the Grace He offers. Geoff and Kathleen work together during the day in a small consulting firm in Costa Mesa, California. Geoff is a construction consultant and Kathleen is the litigation/case coordinator.

Have you ever witnessed a wild animal in its natural environment? A tame lion simply does not have the presence of a wild one. A wild lion has an attitude, an assurance in its walk. The unrestricted environment, and the untamed nature of the animal complement one another. To tame such a creature, and remove it from its environment, is to rob it of its identity. Acts 17:28 "For in Him we live, and move, and have our being." God Himself is the natural environment in which man is to live! What an unrestricted environment for the expressive nature He gave us.
