Book Description

The Bible teaches us', Russ Parker writes, 'that blessing is a unique ministry resource gifted to believers to effect the purposes of God in peoples' lives.' In this enthralling book, the author tells of situations of family estrangement, depression and chronic illness; of times of hopelessness and helplessness where miraculous transformation has been wrought through calling on God to bless someone with the richest blessing they are able to receive. As he has travelled the country teaching on the ministry of blessing, Russ has seen an enthusiastic response and uptake, especially amongst those involved in prayer ministry. He believes it is time for all who want to be part of God's renewal - both in church and through reaching out to the wider community - to consider how we might help others to flourish as the people God has called them to be. 'Russ Parker's ground breaking work on healing community history will be so helpful to churches. It has greatly helped me.' The Rt Revd Graeme Dow, former Bishop of Carlisle

Book Description

"Msgr. Stephen J. Rossetti forges a renewed theology of priestly blessing, encouraging his brother priests to return to, or renew with enthusiasm, the regular habit of blessing people, objects, and events. In this book he outlines the history and varied meanings of blessing from the Old Testament through the post-Vatican II renewal, and shows how this distinctively Catholic activity is integral to the identity of priests and crucial to the spiritual and material wellbeing of all the faithful"--

Book Description

Humans were created to bless one another, those they love and those they do not. According to Scripture (Num 6:27), God promises to release more of his blessings, more of his goodness, grace, and love into the world. In Hebrew the word for “bless” means “God’s intention.” When people speak words of blessing, in God’s name, they are praying for the fullness of God’s intentions to be released into their lives. In a world where division and polarization are becoming normative, God gives a “new” ministry resource—blessing ministry. The power of blessing can bridge those gaps and bring healing to the individuals involved. There is no individual situation, no community need where blessing prayers are not beneficial. Wherever there is joy and celebration in people’s lives, blessing prayers bring only more joy and thanksgiving. There is an awakening in the lives of God’s people wherever the ministry of blessing is being taught and practiced. Communities are experiencing greater health. Churches are becoming more alive. Hearts are being healed and lives transformed, simply by blessing others in Jesus’ name. God is calling his people to become a people of blessing!

Book Description

Best-selling authors Marva Dawn and Eugene Peterson offer encouragement to pastors. Pastors are strategically placed to counter the culture. No other profession looks so inoffensive but is in fact so dangerous to the status quo. Their weapon? A gospel that is profoundly countercultural. But standing firm in today's world isn't easy. Powerful forces, both subtle and obvious, attempt to domesticate pastors, to make them, in a word, unnecessary. In this book, two of today's most respected authors help pastors recover their gospel identity and maintain a pure vision of Christian leadership. Marva Dawn and Eugene Peterson reconnect pastors with the biblical texts that will train them as countercultural servants of the gospel. Marva Dawn looks to Paul's letter to the Ephesians for instruction for churches seeking to live faithfully in today's world. In turn, Eugene Peterson explores Romans, 1 and 2 Timothy, and Titus, drawing from them the correct view of pastoral identity.

Book Description

Do you attend church seeking God, only to find that that are still not satisfied? Do you long for a more personal experience---A real experience with your God? More and more people are searching---just like you. They are looking everywhere for answers that will lead to a deeper, more meaningful reality of their walk with God. This reality will release the saints to do what they are called to do. You are about to discover that your unique life is intended to play a significant role in a new Holy Ghost renovation of the Church. You will realize that genuine ministry is not based on the gifts of a single man but in a "multi-faceted, many-sided ministry"--- of which you are a vital part. You will understand why "the one man show" is over. True ministry is many people working together to accomplish one goal---fulfilling the ministry of Christ. A new style of leader with a new heart for the saints is required for such a revolutionary shift in thought and action. Dr. Mark Hanby lays out Paul's original goal for all five-fold ministry---"the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the Body of Christ." His nearly fifty years in worldwide ministry has uniquely prepared him to see the need of church and to call forth the saints, everyday believers like you and I, to fulfill their place in God's plan for the earth.
