Book Description
Megachurch pastor Allen Jackson invites readers on a 100-day adventure of experiencing God through ten biblical practices that will reignite their faith and transform their lives. Many Christians experience low points in their faith, times when their spiritual lives have grown cold, stagnant, or routine. They feel frustrated and desperate to reconnect with God. Yet encouragement alone is not enough. We need God's power to bring transformation, and we need specific tools and a focused intent to know the Lord. Drawing upon years of pastoral ministry and his own experience, Allen Jackson has developed a 100-day plan to reinvigorate a believer's life, organized around ten declarations of intent, including: I Intend to Grow Spiritually, I Intend to Read the Gospels I Intend to Pray Daily I Intend to Honor God in My Home, and I Intend to Work with Integrity. A simple investment of twenty minutes a day will create an unstoppable momentum in readers' lives. Their hearts are opened to new possibilities with God where his purposes unfold and where the fruit of his rewards are found.

Redemptive Kingdom Diversity

Book Description
This book provides a comprehensive biblical and theological survey of the people of God in the Old and New Testaments, offering insights for today's transformed and ethnically diverse church. Jarvis Williams explains that God's people have always been intended to be a diverse community. From Genesis to Revelation, God has intended to restore humanity's vertical relationship with God, humanity's horizontal relationship with one another, and the entire creation through Jesus. Through Jesus, both Jew and gentile are reconciled to God and together make up a transformed people. Williams then applies his biblical and theological analysis to selected aspects of the current conversation about race, racism, and ethnicity, explaining what it means to be the church in today's multiethnic context. He argues that the church should demonstrate redemptive kingdom diversity, for it has been transformed into a new community that is filled with many diverse ethnic communities.

Book Description
The Kingdom of God has been the talk of the world since John the Baptist arrived on the scene to prepare the way for the Messiah. After the baptism of Christ, Jesus continued the message of John: Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is near. Moves of God throughout history have begun with this message. Jesus taught His disciples to pray, Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Whatever occurs on earth happens as a result of prayer and takes place in heaven first. Heaven wants revival; heaven desires miracles, and we are the vehicles through which His Spirit works. It is going to take people who carry great vision and passion for us to establish kingdom power and authority in our generation. The power and purpose of God has never changed, nor has His strength weakened. Every generation has relied on men and women of God to make visible the invisible presence of God through signs, wonders, and miracles. The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead is awaiting vessels (people) who will represent His cause to a searching world. We have to go no further than our backyards to find a field awaiting harvest. The marketplace is clamoring for success with meaningeternal meaning. Neighborhoods are flourishing with young minds looking for leadership, and nations are longing for a message of hope. This is our generation, and the command to Go remains the same. We go in the name that is above all names, Jesus. The foundation for all that we do must be love. The apostle Paul admonishes us by saying, For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love (Galatians 5:6 NIV). Let our expression and our message be saturated with love. Love covers over a multitude of sins (1 Peter 4:8b NIV). Love never fails (1 Corinthians 13:8a NIV).

Book Description
How can we transmit a living, personal Catholic faith to future generations? By coming to know Jesus Christ, and following him as his disciples. These are times of immense challenge and immense opportunity for the Catholic Church. Consider these statistics for the United States. Only 30 percent of Americans who were raised Catholic are still practicing. Fully 10 percent of all adults in America are ex-Catholics. The number of marriages celebrated in the Church decreased dramatically, by nearly 60 percent, between 1972 and 2010. Only 60 percent of Catholics believe in a personal God. If the Church is to reverse these trends, the evangelizers must first be evangelized-in other words, Catholics-in-the-pew must make a conscious choice to know and follow Jesus before they can draw others to him. This work of discipleship lies at the heart of Forming Intentional Disciples, a book designed to help Church leaders, parish staff and all Catholics transform parish life from within. Drawing upon her fifteen years of experience with the Catherine of Siena Institute, Sherry Weddell leads readers through steps that will help Catholics enter more deeply into a relationship with God and the river of apostolic creativity, charisms, and vocation that flow from that relationship for the sake of the Church and the world. Learn about the five thresholds of postmodern conversion, how to open a conversation about faith and belief, how to ask thought-provoking questions and establish an atmosphere of trust, when to tell the Great Story of Jesus, how to help someone respond to God's call to intentional discipleship, and much more. And be prepared for conversion because when life at the parish level changes, the life of the whole Church will change.
