Sinossi

In "The Last Reformation," F. G. Smith delves into the complex interplay between faith and societal progress, weaving a narrative that challenges conventional religious doctrines while exploring the potential for transformative spirituality in modernity.

Preaching in a New Key -...

Mark R. Glanville

An Expository Preaching Guidebook for Post-Christian Communities
Preaching must connect with its hearers. As the perception of the pastor has changed in recent years, and as congregations battle with increasing doubt, preaching appealing solely to rationality doesn't resonate in the same way as it once did. Post-Christian generations find themselves looking less for a charismatic authority figure and more for healthy leaders who are relationally connected to their neighborhood.
Scholar and pastor Mark Glanville provides a fresh look into the art of crafting sermons for post-Christian contexts. In Preaching in a New Key, he teaches the craft of Christ-centered expository preaching from the ground up. Writing for both new and experienced pastors, Glanville recognizes that it is time for us to reset our compasses.
Bringing together elements that are too often apart, Preaching in a New Key teaches expository preaching integrated with creativity, cultural discernment, pastoral health, justice, missiology, and more. Filled with helpful resources for seminary students and pastors alike, this book includes:

- Helpful visual aids to help prepare for writing a sermon
- Guides for how to structure a sermon
- Examples that show how to implement preaching practices
Preaching in a New Key offers a practical and refreshing vision for crafting sermons that are sustainable for the pastor and resonant with communities.

Charles Manson - The American...

Kelly Mass

Charles Milles Manson was an American crook who led the Manson Family, a cult based in California, in the late 1960s. He got involved in the Church of Scientology and had a difficult childhood. Going to jail twice didn’t teach him the lesson he was supposed to learn, and eventually, he was incarcerated a third time. 
Perhaps through the study of this short-read, you can figure out what makes a criminal and murderer, how it can be prevented, and why we do the things we do. Charles Manson’s life is an example of how things clearly went into the wrong direction. Let’s learn from him so that we don’t repeat the same mistakes.
