Seven Key Principles for Effective Ministry
Author: David Harrell
Publisher: Shepherd Press
ISBN: 9781633421301
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
A book that exhorts and encourages Christian ministers and leaders to be committed to the principled model for successful ministry that God has established through the teaching of the New Testament. Many people today think the most effective means to reach this postmodern world for Christ is for the church to become more attractive and relevant to the culture. It must reinvent itself, adjust its gospel message, be less dogmatic, more therapeutic, tolerant, and entertaining. It must pander to the culture, take up its social causes, even conform to itƒ‚‚"ƒ‚‚€ƒ‚‚"but never oppose it. Yet such a position is totally foreign to Scripture and therefore mitigates the power and blessing of God. With clarity and conviction, Dave Harrell guides readers through the priorities of a biblically focused ministry paradigmƒ‚‚"ƒ‚‚€ƒ‚‚"a paradigm that transcends the vagaries of modern cultureƒ‚‚"ƒ‚‚€ƒ‚‚"that may be applied with confidence by ministers and Christian leaders alike.

Principles of Sacred Liturgy
Author: Christopher Carstens
Publisher: LiturgyTrainingPublications
ISBN: 1595250441
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
Jesus’ saving Paschal work continues today in the liturgy and sacraments. They have the power to sanctify and beatify those who engage the liturgy with proper minds and hearts. In this comprehensive and accessible book, Christopher Carstens opens up the ritual elements mystagogically: that is, he leads participants from what they can sense—a calendar day, a musical instrument, and word—to what is otherwise undetectable: Jesus Christ. He examines the core meaning of each liturgical element in creation, in the culture, in the Old Testament, in Christ, and in heaven. This book is an excellent resource for pastors, seminarians, permanent deacons and deacon candidates, lay ministers, and parish liturgy coordinators.

Principled Policing
Author: John Cottingham Alderson
Publisher: Waterside Press
ISBN: 1872870716
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
A classic text about the need for fundamental principles for policing - by the father of community policing. John Alderson is well-known as the former chief constable of Devon and Cornwall and a leading exponent of liberal, democratic values and human rights in relation to police work. In Principled policing he demonstrates how it is all too easy for everyday police officers to fall into behaviour which becomes difficult to comprehend-as a result of working practices, working cultures, state manoeuvring and a lack of fundamental values for decision-making. Through his description of what he calls 'high police' and by way of worldwide examples-from Northern Ireland to Tiananmen Square, Nazi Germany to the FBI to the British miners strike of 1984/5-the author calls for decency, fairness and morality to act as touchstones for police officers everywhere. Principled Policing - which is dedicated to 'the innocent victims of the world's unprincipled policing' is now in use on courses for police officers looking to reach the very highest positions.
