Sharing God's Blessing
Author: Robin Greenwood
Publisher: SPCK
ISBN: 0281072167
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 153
Book Description
A tried-and-tested resource for the renewal of the local church. Faced with the unsustainability of many inherited patterns of church, the temptation may be to fall into despondency rather than seeking to regenerate patterns of mission and ministry. This book is the result of a two-year research project aimed at enabling local churches to regain a sense of confidence through exploring God's blessing and how that might be shared with the communities they serve. In Part One, Robin Greenwood explores the meaning of blessing and the power of face-to-face group conversations to transform church congregations. Part Two of the book contains outlines for five guided conversations for change on the theme of blessing. Part Three contains case study material of how this material has been used in different contexts, including for Mission Action Planning (MAP).

Unlikely Fighter
Author: Greg Stier
Publisher: Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.
ISBN: 1496451570
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Some memories are permanently seared into our childhood brains with a hot iron of adrenaline and fear. For five-year-old Greg, it was the memory of his ma walking back to the house after confronting his stepdad with a splintered, bloodied baseball bat in her hand. Greg Stier was raised in a family of bodybuilding, tobacco-chewing, fist-fighting thugs. He never knew his biological father because his mom had met his dad at a party; she got pregnant, and he left town. Though his mom almost aborted him, in a last-minute twist, Greg’s life was spared for so much more. Unlikely Fighter is the incredible story of how God showed up in Greg’s life—and how he can show up in yours as well. This is a memoir of violence and mayhem—and how God can transform everything.

Book Description
This is my 3rd book that I am proud to share with everyone. My writings have taken me now over a span of more than 40 years. I would hope that my name and writings will have a good impact on people and that they enjoy my way of expressing and look forward to what I will be writing next. Yes, I would Love to make the Best Seller List, as any writer would. But, my passion is to be able to provide good reading to my readers. Hopefully someone will benefit by what I have shared, and what I have experienced, and what I have been feeling. So that one other person will no longer feel alone or isolated in the way they feel or what they have experienced. I myself can still come up with some crazy stuff. I like to share, the good, the bad, and the ugly, because that is life. I am working on book 4 now, A New Dawn Rising, which I hope will be out before the end of the year. I hope that all will be looking forward to the release of this book. I also hope that all those that have read the previous books, Too Many Stones To Throw and Reality Continued, will enjoy this one Sharing Is Caring and share them with friends and family. Welcome again to my world, and my style of writing and sharing. Blessings and Peace be to you all...Enjoy!
