Book Description
A PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR CULTIVATING SPIRITUAL TRANSFORMATION-IN THE WAYS OF JESUSFor those who long for real transformation and hunger to experience God's goodness in a way that changes their daily experience of life, author Brandon Cook offers a guide for authentic transformation in Christ. With 52 readings, you can read this over the course of a year or at your own pace, individually or in a small group. Learning to Live and Love Like Jesus will help you understand what transformation is and how it actually happens. At the heart of this book, you will see how Christian discipleship is about living for others in new ways and being empowered to love as Jesus loves. Cook applies his experience working for several transformational Christian ministries and from pastoring a local church for over a decade, where he learned how to help people relate to God, self, and others in whole and healthy ways. Having wrestled for over 20 years with the challenges of sustainable character formation, he has written this "long-soaking" resource-one that takes time to sink in, yet produces genuine life change. Search no longer for a practical roadmap of transformation. If transformation has felt inaccessible or too "mystical" for you, and if you're looking for a resource to ground your life in Christian discipleship, read this book from The Bonhoeffer Project's co-founder. It will help you engage God through practices and habits that have the potential to change your life. You'll walk away with a fresh sense of God's presence, hope that leads to new possibilities, and a vibrant sense of purpose and mission in the world.

Book Description
Revelation is probably the most read, but least understood book of the Bible. History is replete with examples of how not to interpret it, and books featuring end-of-world prophecy claims based on Revelation consistently top the bestseller lists. But how can the message of such an enigmatic book be applied to our lives today? In Discipleship on the Edge, Darrell W. Johnson drives home the challenging and practical message of Revelation in thirty carefully crafted sermons. Paying careful attention to the original context of Revelation and the circumstances surrounding its composition, Johnson shows that the book is not a "crystal ball" but rather a "discipleship manual." Thoroughly researched and yet accessible, this collection of sermons is a helpful resource for pastors and small group leaders who are looking for models to help them preach and teach the message of Revelation in a time when there is much confusion about the end times. Darrell W. Johnson serves as Scholar-in-Residence at The Way Church and Canadian Church Leaders Network in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. A popular conference and retreat speaker, he has also served as the preaching pastor for a number of congregations in North America and the Philippines, as well as serving as Adjunct Professor of Preaching for the Doctor of Ministry program at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California, and a Teaching Fellow at Regent College. His other books include Experiencing the Trinity and Fifty-Seven Words That Change The World.

This book is an invitation to join Jesus in an exciting journey of financial discipleship. A disciple is a person who has an ongoing, life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ and who gladly shares what he or she has learned with others. Financial discipleship is so important because what we do with our money reflects our heart's priorities. Jesus said, "Where your treasure is, there your heart shall be also." A financial disciple has a clear vision, to see every follower of Christ in every nation faithfully living by God's financial principles in every area of their lives, both personally and in their work, family and community. He or she desires to know Christ more intimately, to be free to serve, and to help fund the work of the church. Join us in the journey of financial discipleship!

Book Description
As a pastor I see many people who stifle and stuff their feelings, particularly “negative” ones. Even more problematic is that they believe this is what God wants them to do. From an early age they received the message explicitly, or implicitly, that said God wants you to be happy all the time. The truth is this: God loves and accepts us in the whole breadth of our feelings, from joy to excitement, anger and sadness, and everything in-between. This message matters because it builds two essential qualities for authentic relationship: self-awareness and openness. Because God loves me and all my feelings there is nothing to hide or fear. Through accessible language and bright, beautiful pictures children and their parents are able to internalize this message of God’s love and acceptance.
