Surprising Wisdom for Living Well in a Broken WorldEnjoying the human journey through this world can seem impossible. So much is going wrong in these dark days. And the daily personal demands never let up. Who has the timemuch less the freedom of heartto play, to laugh, to delight? Whats more, those following Christ can also feel duty-bound to live in sacrificial austerity.But Gods strategy for wise living includes bold enjoyment. In fact, any "Christianity" that feels embarrassed about enjoying Gods good gifts dishonors him and leaves Christians with less to give their suffering world.With a pastors heart, Ray Ortlund invites readers to embrace Gods strategy for facing reality and living well. Meditating on Ecclesiastes 11:910, Ortlund explains how following Christ here in this world is a nuanced mix of both suffering and happiness. Ecclesiastes is a gospel call to accept the suffering and to savor the happinessand savor it boldly.Delivers a Gospel Call to Enjoyment: Pastor Ray Ortlund reminds readers that God not only allows us enjoyment but even commands it Wise Insights: Offers an extended meditation on Ecclesiastes 11:910, enriched with personal anecdotes and wisdom from Christians of the past Countercultural: Affirms the actual joys God has placed in everyday life, defying todays cynical and sometimes hyperspiritual culture

Including People with Disabilities Is Essential to Your Churchs Witness God wants people of all abilities to be active participants in his kingdom. But churches have not always made it clear that people with disabilities are both part of Gods story and fully welcome in their communities. If the church is to be a credible witness, it must reach and include people with disabilities within its evangelism, mission, and everyday life.In Disability and Evangelism, Rochelle Scheuermann casts a vision for including people with disabilities in all aspects of evangelism, from how we understand and tell the gospel story, to how we evangelize to and with people with disabilities. This groundbreaking book invites us to reshape our evangelism theology and practice so that people with disabilities are central in all we think, say, and do. Scheuermann uncovers how Gods story in Scripture responds to the complexities of disability and provides both the means and message to share good news among people of all abilities. She then explores issues of evangelism practice, including how we understand conversion, an expanded understanding of accommodation, and pursuing interdependence in ministry.In Disability and Evangelism, you will gain a biblical understanding of both disability and evangelism; hear stories from people with a range of disabilities; study evangelism practices that go beyond traditional approaches that are key for doing evangelism with and among people with disabilities; understand why many people with disabilities feel excluded from and do not attend church; and engage with discussion questions in each chapter. This book shows how the gospel really is good news for people of all abilities. Understanding and embracing disability is not only a matter of compassion and justice. People with disabilities will help the church to counteract faulty visions of power, autonomy, and self-promotion and to encounter the good news of Jesus more deeply. If youre looking for a resource that invites people with disabilities to be both recipients and active participants in Gods mission, Disability and Evangelism is for you.About the Series Center for Disability and Ministry books explore the intersection of disability and practical theology in partnership with the Center for Disability and Ministry at Western Theological Seminary. Co-edited by Benjamin T. Conner and John Swinton, this series explores key issues in disability theology through the framework of practical theology, aiming to increase knowledge as well as faithfully impact Christian practice.

Ao longo das próximas páginas, exploraremos a vida de José em suas diversas fases: desde o seu chamado profético revelado em sonhos juvenis e o cenário de favoritismo que o tornou alvo da inveja de seus irmos, passando pela dolorosa queda ao ser colocado em um poço e a experiencia da escravido, ate sua milagrosa ascenso ao palacio como governador do Egito a grande potencia daquele tempo. Acompanharemos seus anos de fidelidade em meio ao abandono de seus irmos, revelando o seu carater em meio a tentaço, sua perseverança na priso, e sua sabedoria em tempos de crise. Mas, mais do que os feitos de Jose, o verdadeiro protagonista desta narrativa e a providencia de Deus em todos os momentos na vida de seu servo. Veremos como Deus em sua soberana providencia usou a crueldade dos irmos de Jose, a injustiça de Potifar e o esquecimento do copeiro para tecer um plano grandioso de salvaço, que aos olhos humanos no poderiam esperar. Jose no foi meramente um homem de virtudes admiraveis; ele foi, acima de tudo, um instrumento divino nas mos de um Deus que transforma ate mesmo o mal em bem, como o proprio Jose disse aos seus irmos: Vos bem intentastes mal contra mim, mas Deus o tornou em bem (Gn 50.20), estas palavras so a chave teologica que destranca o significado de toda a trajetoria da vida de Jose.

Voted one of Christianity Todays Books of the YearWhat is the fate of those who die never hearing the gospel? Do Hindus, Jews, agnostics and others who do not profess faith in Christ really suffer damnation after death? These and similar questions have long been contemplated by people from every religious persuasion and every walk of life. But in a culture of increasing diversity and growing doubt in the existence of "objective truth," it seems ever more pressing.In this Spectrum Multiview volume three scholars present the span of evangelical conviction on the destiny of the unevangelized. Ronald Nash argues the restrictivist position, that receptive knowledge of Jesus Christ in this life is necessary to salvation. Gabriel Fackre advocates divine perseverance, with the expectation that those who die unevangelized receive an opportunity for salvation after death. And John Sanders sets forth the inclusivist caseasserting that though God saves people only through the work of Jesus Christ, some may be saved even if they do not know about Christ.As each scholar presents his own case and responds to strengths and weaknesses of differing positions, readers are treated to a lively and informative debate. What About Those Who Have Never Heard? is a truly helpful book on one of todaysand every daysmost crucial questions.Spectrum Multiview Books offer a range of viewpointson contested topics within Christianity, giving contributors the opportunity to present their position and also respond to others in this dynamic publishing format.

Between adolescence and adulthood is a new stage of life: emerging adulthood.Those in their twenties and early thirties find themselves in transition. This "provisional adulthood" is a time of identity exploration and instability in which ones vocation, purpose, relationships and spirituality are all being renegotiated. Many emerging adults lose sight of God and experience significant confusion and brokenness. Others unexpectedly reconnect with the Christian faith and seek deeper discipleship, yet lack helpful mentoring and direction.Veteran disciplemakers Rick Dunn and Jana Sundene offer concrete guidance for those who shepherd and care for emerging adults. Some traditional models of disciplemaking focus on a set curriculum to be transferred from the discipler to the disciplee. Dunn and Sundene instead emphasize relational rhythms of discernment, intentionality and reflection to meet emerging adults where they are at and then to walk with them further into the Christlife.Whether youre an older adult ministering to the next generation or a younger adult with a heart for your peers, this book is an accessible, hopeful guide for effective ministry to emerging adults.
