  The chapters of this book contain various accounts of God's supernatural interventions, which became possible because people prayed. Just some of the miraculous events I share include physical visitations with Jesus, my sister's resurrection from the dead, deliverance from sleepwalking, a withered arm healed, and restored mobility in a family member's body caused by metal, and physical healing through communion. Each story you will read serves as a prophetic promise that God desires to do the same things for you and through you. Prepare yourself to go further in your spiritual formation. 
  You will hear God more and witness a transformation in the world around you as your hidden life is ignited by passionate prayer, burning like an eternal flame. The time on your knees will no longer be a plain and monotonous monologue.

  Confessions of a Reformission...

  This is the story of the birth and growth of Seattle’s innovative Mars Hill Church, one of America’s fastest growing churches located in one of America’s toughest mission fields. It’s also the story of the growth of a pastor, the mistakes he’s made along the way, and God’s grace and work in spite of those mistakes. Mark Driscoll’s emerging, missional church took a rocky road from its start in a hot, upstairs youth room with gold shag carpet to its current weekly attendance of thousands. With engaging humor, humility, and candor, Driscoll shares the failures, frustrations, and just plain messiness of trying to build a church that is faithful to the gospel of Christ in a highly post-Christian culture. In the telling, he’s not afraid to skewer some sacred cows of traditional, contemporary, and emerging churches. Each chapter discusses not only the hard lessons learned but also the principles and practices that worked and that can inform your church’s ministry, no matter its present size. The book includes discussion questions and appendix resources. “After reading a book like this, you can never go back to being an inwardly focused church without a mission. Even if you disagree with Mark about some of the things he says, you cannot help but be convicted to the inner core about what it means to have a heart for those who don’t know Jesus.”—Dan Kimball, author,The Emerging Church “… will make you laugh, cry, and get mad … school you, shape you, and mold you into the right kind of priorities to lead the church in today’s messy world.”—Robert Webber, Northern Seminary

  Worth Doing - Fallenness...

  Conversations about faith and work often miss an important truth: limitations are not a problem; they're a key part of what it means to be human. Work has always been part of humanity's purpose, but we’re no longer in the perfect Garden of Eden, nor are we in the future new heavens and new earth. To truly address the challenges of work, we need a new theological perspective. 
   
  In Worth Doing, David Buschart and Ryan Tafilowski embrace the realities of limitations, challenging the myths of "You are what you do" and "Do what you love." Instead, they propose a theology of work that affirms the goodness of human limits while addressing the realities of fallenness, offering hope for those who may not find deep fulfillment in their daily jobs. 
  Buschart and Tafilowski outline a new vision of work that resonates with all workers, recognizing that every job has value, even when it doesn't align with idealized notions of purpose or calling. By embracing this perspective, people can find new ways to approach daily labor, even when it doesn't feel deeply fulfilling. 
   
  In Worth Doing, listeners will gain a theology of work that moves beyond only ideas of productivity or calling; learn how to embrace human limitations as part of God's good design; and reflect on the ways work connects to broader questions of purpose and human flourishing.
