Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 123
Book Description
Shows busy Christians how to serve joyfully, not wearily. Many of us are serving, and feel like we're sinking. We feel joyless, weary and burdened. John Hindley shows how Jesus was telling the truth when he offered people an "easy yoke"-a way of serving him that is joyful and liberating. He explains why serving is so often joyless-and how our identity in Christ changes everything. If you are serving, but sometimes feel as though you're sinking... you need this book! If you know someone who has burn out, or is heading in that direction... they need this book too. Serving with sinking... * Is written in a personal, warm, gospel-hearted style. * Encourages readers to see not only how they serve, but WHY they serve * Points Christians away from themselves and back to Jesus * Frees people from the burdens of joyless, duty-based serving

To Serve God and Wal-Mart
Author: Bethany Moreton
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674256468
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 396
Book Description
In the decades after World War II, evangelical Christianity nourished America’s devotion to free markets, free trade, and free enterprise. The history of Wal-Mart uncovers a complex network that united Sun Belt entrepreneurs, evangelical employees, Christian business students, overseas missionaries, and free-market activists. Through the stories of people linked by the world’s largest corporation, Bethany Moreton shows how a Christian service ethos powered capitalism at home and abroad. While industrial America was built by and for the urban North, rural Southerners comprised much of the labor, management, and consumers in the postwar service sector that raised the Sun Belt to national influence. These newcomers to the economic stage put down the plough to take up the bar-code scanner without ever passing through the assembly line. Industrial culture had been urban, modernist, sometimes radical, often Catholic and Jewish, and self-consciously international. Post-industrial culture, in contrast, spoke of Jesus with a drawl and of unions with a sneer, sang about Momma and the flag, and preached salvation in this world and the next. This extraordinary biography of Wal-Mart’s world shows how a Christian pro-business movement grew from the bottom up as well as the top down, bolstering an economic vision that sanctifies corporate globalization. The author has assigned her royalties and subsidiary earnings to Interfaith Worker Justice (www.iwj.org) and its local affiliate in Athens, GA, the Economic Justice Coalition (www.econjustice.org).

We Come to Life with Those We Serve
Author: Richard B. Gunderman
Publisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 0253031028
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 121
Book Description
A study of how philanthropy can enrich our lives, as shown by examples from both the lives of real-life individuals and fictional characters. What is the most meaningful and rewarding path in life? Many assume we enrich ourselves only by accumulating more wealth, power, and fame, or by finding new and greater forms of pleasure. In reality, we are most enriched not in taking from others but in sharing the best we have to offer through a life of service. The legendary, real-life individuals and the famous literary characters in this inspiring book show us the way: Vincent Van Gogh exemplified service through art, Benjamin Franklin dedicated his life to service of community, and the career of coach John Wooden is apt testimony to the rewards of service through education. Gunderman persuasively argues that, far from draining away our vitality, service at its best actually brings us to life.
