"Lessons Learned in Obscurity" is a journey of one church and the pastor who learned the hard way how to develop a unique and healthy fellowship in today's culture. It is a candid look at the things that worked and those that failed. It will be a handy guide to anyone who is more concerned with being a part of a Christian environment that is more relevant than religious. This book should be required reading for those who are not afraid of "coloring outside the lines" and want to be more effective in reaching a world that is increasingly less interested in traditional church. Ken Duggan is senior pastor of Dallas Bay Baptist Church in Hixson, Tennessee. While leading the church since 1990 the fellowship has grown from the original 8 members to nearly 2,300 today. Ken, and his wife Marilyn, are natives of Tennessee and were approved as church planters for the Southern Baptist Convention. Ken has a bachelors' degree in political science from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and spent several years in a secular career before entering seminary and earning his Doctorate of Theology. He is also the writer of "Out of the Box" a weekly web log which looks at life from a creative Christian's perspective at www.kenduggan.net.

Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Jael. Adonijah. Amos. Deborah. Not the larger-than-life Bible heroes who are so well known. Some of these characters are even . . . obscure. Yet God preserved their stories for a reason. In Obscure No More, you'll discover the significance of ten often-overlooked characters by seeing how they connect to your story today. Take a look at your world through the lens of their lives, and then take the next step to make your life story—obscure or not—meaningful for God! Each chapter weaves together a lesser-known story from Scripture with contemporary narrative and uses a four-day inductive Bible study method for a deep look at Scripture: • Read 8 lesser-known historical accounts • Relate to the culture and context of God's Word • Reflect on these characters' lives so you can live out God's principles • Remember the lessons through simple memorization and compelling narrative

Whispers of the Obscure
Author: D. J. Peterson
Publisher: D. J. Peterson
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 211
Book Description
"Whispers of the Obscure," the inaugural entry in the Chronicles of Dingus, weaves a rich tapestry of magic, intrigue, and character development set against the backdrop of the fictional realm of Thang. The narrative follows the adventures of Dingus, a young apprentice alchemist, as he uncovers hidden truths and embraces a destiny larger than he ever imagined. The story begins in the quaint village of Elmbrook, where Dingus, under the tutelage of the wise but eccentric alchemist Shemp, learns the subtle art of potion-making and basic spellwork. Dingus's life takes a dramatic turn when Selbin, a mysterious traveler with a past intertwined with Shemp’s, arrives in the village. Selbin brings tales of a world beyond Elmbrook, filled with ancient relics, forgotten magics, and a powerful group known as The Order. As the story unfolds, Dingus is unwittingly drawn into a larger world of magic and power. He discovers that he possesses latent magical abilities, setting him on a path to uncovering his true potential. Alongside Selbin and Shemp, Dingus embarks on a quest to find a mystical relic, believed to be key in tilting the balance of power in a world dominated by The Order. Throughout their journey, the trio encounters a range of characters, from the enigmatic Brute, a seemingly simple blacksmith with hidden depths, to the members of The Order, who seek to control magic and maintain their grip on the kingdom. The novel masterfully intertwines Dingus’s personal growth with the broader theme of freedom versus control in the world of magic. The climax of the book is set in Apollyon, an ancient magical city now in ruins. Here, Dingus and his companions face the ultimate test of their abilities and convictions. The quest concludes with the discovery of the relic, awakening Dingus's magical powers and setting the stage for future adventures.
