Book Description
About the book: Do you ever look at people who call themselves Christians, and wonder about the lack of Christlikeness in them? Have you ever looked into your own life and questioned where you really stood with God? Do you ever entertain the inner suspicion that your relationship with God is pretense, a charade, the mere repeating of the words and feelings of others without internal conviction and change? Have churches today misunderstood the Gospel, what it really means to be a follower of Christ? In this deeply thought-provoking book, Getting Into Jesus' Life, John Vosnos addresses these questions and more in profound and practical ways, exploring what it means to be a genuine follower of Christ and offers identity with Christ and participation in Jesus' life as the key to living as a Christ-centered follower of Jesus-and the extraordinary difference this makes! About the author: John G. Vosnos has earned both the Master of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry degrees from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Trinity International University. After a short career in corporate business, he entered pastoral ministry where he has served for forty years. He and His wife, Gayle, have three grown children and reside in Barrington, Illinois where John serves as a pastor in the Village Church of Barrington.

Prophet of Community
Author: Eugene Lunn

ISBN: 0520312392
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 444
Book Description
Gustav Landauer--literary critic, mystical philosopher, and left-wing activists--was Germany's major anarchist thinker at the beginning of the twentieth century. In this full-scale intellectual biography, Lunn depicts the evolution of Landauer's social thought, a rich terrain within which to examine afresh some intellectual crosscurrents of the Wilhelmian era. Landauer's work in the various circles and movements of his social milieu after 1900, including anarchist, youth movement, expressionist, and Zionist groups, reveal a convergence of volkisch and communitarian ideas with libertarian forms of socialist democracy. The study of this kind of "romantic socialism," in revolt against both industrial modernity and authoritarian government, highlights the inadequacy of viewing volkisch themes exclusively in terms of Nazi "roots." What emerges from this study is the appeal of antiauthoritarian and communitarian ideas for middle-class Left intellectuals dissatisfied with the official Social Democratic Party. In the light of the tragic failures of democratic and socialist forces to gain middle-class support during the Weimar Republic, and of the Nazis' antidemocratic uses of Gemeinschaft, this earlier search for a communitarian democracy gains in importance.

Pages : 88
Book Description
re:MIX: Transitioning Your Church to Living Color is a practical guide for pastors, denominational leaders, and lay leaders who are seeking to transition their monoethnic congregations into healthy multiethnic churches of Christ-centered faith. The book is theologically sound, cross-culturally relevant, and based on field research. It provides transferrable lessons and practices that are applicable in a variety of local church and denominational contexts. Authors Mark DeYmaz and Bob Whitesel demonstrate that such transitions are not just timely or optional. Indeed, these biblically grounded transitions are necessary for churches pursuing growth and health in an increasingly diverse society. By becoming a church of living color, existing or declining churches present a more credible witness of God’s love for all people and can achieve renewed significance and sustainability. re:MIX is full of instructive, immediately useful information in a clear and easy-to-use format and includes sidebar stories from church leaders in a variety of denominations who have transitioned their congregations to living color. “Wow! This is the practical tool for the church that I have been waiting for. Pentecost didn’t occur until the diversity of ‘every nation under heaven’ was present. This book will become recommended reading for all of my seminary students.” —Mike Slaughter, pastor, author, speaker, and activist

Who Will Water the Flowers?
Author: CADET #271 (Louis F. Horner)
Publisher: Dog Ear Publishing
ISBN: 1457545055
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
aThe author invites you to embark on a journey to provoke your thinking about friendship, opportunity, and race relations in America. This may take you in a direction you had not previously considered as you navigate the course of your own life. Resetting your own sails may reap rewards. The author’s inspiration to write came from a startling spiritual experience, which he describes in “The Awakening.” This led to introspection and an urgent sense that a story must be told. More than twenty years passed before he understood the specifics of why, what, and when he was to write. He tells of his 2002 epiphany and a story spanning three-quarters of a century. Mr. Horner tells a story of overcoming adversity and making a full life beyond what his racial and family background might predict. He tells a story of working-class boys from divergent roots building lifelong bonds beginning in military college. Everyone has a story. In telling his, Mr. Horner answers the question, Who will water the flowers? Testimonial As a PMC cadet of the class of 1963, I found the book a compelling read. Many of the stories by the class of ‘62 relate and resonate with my experiences and without speculation probably to PMC cadets at large. The complex thoughts of ‘ boys to men’, strangers who through leadership subsumed their individual needs for the greater good of a brotherhood of men. This is a complex formula for those who have not been in the cauldron, the formative chemistry of all of us, good and bad. To me the most compelling aspect of the book was the author’s journey though life and the role of PMC friendship, mentorship, and leadership played in his life’s journey. The lessons learned of this journey may help us set the course to make our great nation better. General John H. Tillie, USA, Retired
