Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
"This is a practical manual of everything our church did," says author Molly Phinney Baskette, "to reverse our death spiral and become the healthy, stable, spirited and robust community it is today—evident in the large percentage of children and young adults in our church, and a sixfold increase in pledged giving in the last decade." "Real Good Church" is a testament to Baskette's and First Church Somerville UCC's success, and a gift of hope for all churches that find themselves struggling to keep their doors open. What makes "Real Good Church" unique in the field of church growth books? It's practical. It actually tells churches what they can do—and how to do it. It offers beginning and intermediary steps for growth and renewal. Churches, no matter what situation they're in, will be able to jump in and get to work. It has a sense of humor. Baskette's easygoing, often self-deprecating writing style and approachable strategies will empower the reader and their church to revitalize itself. (If her church could do it, we can, too!)

Naked Spirituality
Author: Brian D. McLaren
Publisher: HarperOne
ISBN: 9780061854026
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Christianity is in crisis. Many sincere Christians feel their traditional Christian practices are in danger of becoming irrelevant, empty rituals. In his previous book A New Kind of Christianity, Brian D. McLaren offered new biblical models for how we understand the central ideas of a faith that provides hope for restoring and reinvigorating the power of the gospels to transform us and our communities. In Naked Spirituality, McLaren takes his prophetic work a step further by confronting how the lack of a simple, doable, durable spirituality undermines the very transformation God is calling us to undergo. As a result, our religious structures become tools to maintain the status quo and not catalysts for personal and social change. McLaren presents a four-stage framework for understanding the spiritual life, and he unfolds spiritual practices appropriate to each stage. Each practice is rooted in a simple word: here, thanks, O, sorry, help, please, when, no, why, behold, yes, and silence. Naked Spirituality offers accessible, practical wisdom for living a truly spiritual life. Staying true to Jesus's core message while engaging faithfully with our postmodern world, McLaren presents a proven spiritual program for engaging in and sustaining a meaningful relationship with God.

Naked Before God
Author: Dr. Tino W. Smith Sr.
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1465321446
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
Naked Before God is the compelling true story of a man torn between two roads. To his right is an Apostolic ministry. To his left a more social conscious Gospel like that of Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X and Clayton Powell. Dr. Tino W. Smith knew that God had called him to be a leader before he preached his first soul-stirring sermon at age 14. By age 22 he became the first black male commissioner in Calhoun County Michigan and one of the youngest County Commissioners in the states history. Smiths path toward prominence continued when he was appointed pastor of a church in Western Indiana at age 23. Within five years the charismatic young leader had transformed the fledging congregation into the citys largest African-American church, created the largest financial base in his community and had become one of the citys most influential black leaders. But, turmoil lurked around the corner. After making a stunning confession to his congregation Smith found himself hated and reviled. With his reputation ruined, his finances depleted and his confidence lost, he descended into a deep depression. But, just as his circumstances seemed to worsen Smith recognized he was not alone. Stripping himself of the image he had spent years trying to perfect and leaning on Gods promises Smith begins putting the pieces of his life back together as he becomes Naked Before God.
