Book Description
Recent events in world history are showing that cracks are beginning to form in our modern economic, political, and technological world. In the midst of this, people of all kinds--be they powerful rulers of nations, or the humble poor on the street corner--are beginning to awake to the powerful spirituality that has been hidden just below the surface of their daily lives. Some are filing into churches in droves, while others are muttering quiet prayers as they lie in bed--but all are hungering for answers: How can we find security? Where is all of this leading us? In this important book compiled from writings of Catherine Doherty, she speaks straight from the heart with wisdom and clarity about the problems facing us in the modern world. A Russian refugee who 'made good' and then gave up everything to serve the poor of America, Catherine has unique and startling insight into the stark realities of the life of faith, from the very rich to the very poor. The answers my surprise us by their simplicity--but they must begin in ourselves and be incarnated in our own lives before we can expect them to take root and change the world. There is concrete help within these pages, and solutions which will help us all to make an unequivocal choice to live the gospel--without compromise!--in our lives.

Beautiful Resistance
Author: Jon Tyson
Publisher: Multnomah
ISBN: 0735290695
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
In a time of compromise and disillusionment, God is calling his people to a movement of beautiful resistance. We live in a time when our culture is becoming increasingly shallow, coarse, and empty. Radical shifts in the areas of sexuality, ethics, technology, secular ideologies, and religion have caused the once-familiar landscape of a generation ago to be virtually unrecognizable. Yet rather than shine as a beacon of light, the church often is silent or accommodating. This isn’t a new phenomenon. During World War II, pastor and theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer was deeply troubled by the compromise in the German church. Their capitulation to the Nazi party brought shame and dishonor to the gospel. In response, he helped create an underground movement of churches that trained disciples and ultimately sought to renew the church and culture of the day. In our compromised church, we need new underground movements of discipleship and resistance. Widely respected New York pastor Jon Tyson unveils a revived vision for faithful discipleship—one that dares to renew culture, restore credibility, and replace compromise with conviction. For all who have felt this conflict in the soul between who we are and who God calls us to be, Beautiful Resistance is a bold invitation to reclaim what’s been lost—regardless of the cost. Praise for Beautiful Resistance “Beautiful Resistance is one of the most compelling and defiant books I’ve read in a long time. I love Jon’s radical, no-messing vision of the church as a prophetic community. This is a wake-up call for us all from the heart of a man who lives his message, loves his city, and serves his Lord with a passion and intelligence destined to become less rare.”—Pete Greig, founder of the 24-7 Prayer movement

Christians on the Job
Author: David Goetsch
Publisher: Salem Books
ISBN: 1621577937
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
In Matthew 10:16, Christ advised His Apostles to be "wise" and "innocent" as they go out "in the midst of wolves." This book shows Christians how to be wise and innocent as they work among people who sometimes behave like wolves. Temptation, greed, dishonesty, and misguided ambition have always presented challenges for Christians in the workplace. Add secular bias, political correctness, and persecution to the mix, and the modern workplace becomes a foreboding environment for Christians to navigate. This is so much the case, many Christians wonder if it is still possible to earn a living without compromising their faith. Christians on the Job does more than demonstrate that Christians can stand firm when confronted with faith-related dilemmas in the workplace. It also demonstrates how to go about it. Using concepts illustrated with real-life examples, steps to implement in specific situations, life application questions, and resources for going deeper, Dr. Goetsch draws a clear map to ensure Christians can find their way and thrive on the job.
