Book Description

God has redeemed you. Now he's transforming you. Unlike redemption, we have to participate in our own spiritual transformation...but God doesn't ask us to do it alone. The two CORE for Men studies—Redeemed and Transformed—each feature five raw and real video stories (DVD/video streaming sold separately) of men who have fought with feelings of isolation and disqualification. Through these personal stories of brokenness and transformation, you and your group will be encouraged to step out of stagnancy and into your own God-shaped stories. Sessions and Contributors include: Identity (Propaganda, poet and activist) Transformation (Willie Alfonso, chaplain for the New York Yankees) Brotherhood (Sam & Emmanuel Acho, NFL players) Choices (Jerry Quiroz, professional soccer player) Reload (Clint Bruce, US Navy SEAL) Brought to you by the men behind the organization Promise Keepers, the passion behind the CORE for Men studies is to create spaces where men have permission to be real—where men discover they are not alone with the kind of doubts and fears they face everyday. CORE is a biblical expression of solidarity that will lead you back to a God who's in the business of turning brokenness into forgiveness and pain into a new and fulfilling purpose. Designed for use with the Transformed: Embracing Our True Identity and Purpose Video Study available on DVD or streaming video, sold separately.
