Book Description
75% of the teenagers and young adults who have dropped out of church say they have never heard Jesus speak to them in a personal way. Are your children doomed to die without Christ? Is Christianity no longer relevant to this generation? Is it not cool enough? Has it finally become too opposed to the cultural norms? Or is it simply just unbelievable? No, we misjudged what this generation wants out of Church...and out of God. Not entertainment, therapy, relevance, or even (God forgive me) eternal security. All they want - and all they need...is to hear Him speak. They want a relationship. And like going on a blind date, the hard part isn't asking this generation to connect with a God they have not seen, but rather asking them to love a God they have not met. Because you can't say "Hallelujah", until you say "Hello". In this engaging and refreshingly simple book, JJ Vasquez explains how church leaders, parents, and pastors can move past just "telling" the next generation about Christ, and start "introducing" them to Him. As a denominational Youth Leader, University Professor of Youth and Family Ministry, Youth Pastor of a 400+ student ministry, and a parent of two, JJ pulls from a rich variety of experience. Hello God will help you: * Develop an authentic connection between the next generation and Jesus. No FORCED religion - REAL relationships. * Shape environments where genuine life-changing encounters can take place. (Think Moses and the burning bush, Paul on the road to Damascus, and Elijah on Mt. Sinai) * Share the Gospel in an easy-to-understand way that not only informs but also INVOLVES the hearer. * Reignite your own desire for being close to God This is NOT just a book for youth ministry, NOT just a book for parents, and NOT just a book for pastors. This is a book for anyone who believes you have to LOVE God, before you can SERVE God.We can't afford to wait any longer. He's lived in stories long enough. It's time they met Him. It's time to say "Hello."

Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
"The works of Leonard Oprea are within the sphere of philosophical thinking represented by S. Kierkegaard, V. Soloviov or Teilhard de Chardin. Though similar, his works are not inspired, nor influenced by the writings of these Christian philosophers. The special importance and the crystal-clear beauty of Leonard Oprea's meditations are revealed by his diamond ideal of humankind's Salvation through Faith. "Hello, God", the third volume of Trilogy of Theophil Magus, is an unique book worldwide. It inspires and thrills the reader making him ready for a sincere and responsible meditation on the human condition, now, at the dawn of the third millennium." (Vladimir Tismaneanu - philosopher, essayist and author) "Leonard Oprea's dominant perspective is one of cold objectivity, relying little on easy emotions, with the exception of hidden, profound feelings and questions. Themes are his life's purpose - the ultimate springs of human actions... Intelligence, laconic sarcasm, humor, right targeting. How could we not be indebted to the author? He put his talent of storytelling to serve as exhortation which is a healthy response in the presence of the morbid, the simplistic in the face of artificial, the man-loving of light against darkness and evil." (Nicolae Steinhardt - philosopher, essayist and author) "Leonard Oprea has no choice but to offer up his thoughts, his philosophies and experiences - his breathings - in these pages. In doing so, he reveals his being and the very nature of his soul. This is not an easy or simple process because words often fail. But fi nding just the right combination of nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs is a reward in itself because it elevates the mundane to higher, more ethereal levels... levels where one may fi nally develop the nerve to come and out say, "Hello, God." (Jeff Howe - poet, author, essayist)

In today's difficult time when we seem to be losing everything, have we lost God too? A sunrise...Are thoughts from yesterday bringing you down? A daffodil growing among rocks...

There is no cost, we only need to open our eyes and accept life's greatest gift; nature. Vickie Fisher lives on a nineteen acre farm in Westminster, MD. It was on this farm she was inspired to write this book. She enjoys spending time with her children and grandchildren, whom she believes are God's greatest gift.
