Book Description
Mary Gautreaux and husband Eli have been instrumental in Chi Alpha campus ministries, serving 27 years at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas. Together, they have led thousands of students to Christ, and have established a ministry based on personal relationships that has raised up scores of young men and woman for service as missionaries, pastors, campus ministers and lay leaders in locations around the world.Her experience as soulwinner, mentor and confidant to new converts makes Mary Gautreaux an ideal candidate to write about needed disciplines in the life of every believer. "Discipline is restoring order to disorder in the mind, body and spirit of a follower of Jesus," she writes. "Discipline is the means to bringing and maintaining godly order in our lives. We must realize that true freedom is not the lack of boundaries. Real freedom comes from consistently living within safe and healthy boundaries."It is these disciplines which help Christians grow and mature in their relationship with Jesus, the author affirms. Learning to control sinful tendencies, put aside wasteful and destructive habits and make God-centered decisions makes any Christian a more effective steward of time, talents and resources-and able to live a more fruitful life for the glory of God.Kingdom Minded by Mary Gautreaux is an excellent tool for self-examination, but is also intended for group study and discussion. It is published in the hope it will be useful to the Body of Christ on college campuses, churches, prisons and jails, military bases-anywhere disciples of Christ feel the stirring to grow deeper and more fruitful in their relationship with God.

Kingdom Triangle
Author: J. P. Moreland
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 031015331X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
J.P. Moreland—Christian philosopher, theologian, and apologist—issues a call to recapture the drama and power of kingdom living—to cultivate a revolution of Evangelical life, spirituality, thought, and Spirit-led power. Drawing insights from the early church, he unpacks three essential ingredients of this revolution: Recovery of the Christian mind. Renovation of Christian spirituality. Restoration of the power of the Holy Spirit. Western society is in crisis: the result of our culture's embrace of naturalism and postmodernism, and a biblical worldview has been pushed to the margins. Christians have been strongly influenced by these trends, with the result that their personal lives often reflect the surrounding culture more than the way of Christ, and the church's transforming influence on society has waned as a result. Kingdom Triangle is divided into two major sections: The first examines and provides a critique of secular worldviews and shows how they have ushered in the current societal crisis. The second lays out a strategy for the Christian community to regain the potency of kingdom life and influence in the world. Moreland believes that evangelical Christianity can mature and lead the surrounding society out of the meaningless morass it finds itself in with humility and vision. With clear insight, he puts the thoughtful Christian in a position to understand our current cultural struggle and to return to a responsible presentation of "the way of Christ" as not just a way of right living, but also a way of knowledge and meaningful life.
