Beschreibung

The Gospel Coalition 2022 Award of Distinction (Missions & The Global Church) 
 
A leading expert in the field of Christian missions encourages the church to recover the apostolic imagination that fueled the multiplication of disciples in the first century. J. D. Payne examines the contemporary practice of Western missions and advocates a more central place for Scripture in defining missionary language, identity, purpose, function, and strategy. He shows that an apostolic understanding of the church's disciple-making commission requires rethinking every aspect of missionary engagement. The book includes end-of-chapter discussion questions and action steps to help pastors and church leaders develop an apostolic imagination.

    "Theologically grounded and refreshingly practical."--Kristin Kobes Du Mez, New York Times bestselling author of Jesus and John Wayne 
     
    What if the way we've been taught to follow Jesus is missing something essential? What if there's more to the gospel than we've experienced--something that could revolutionize how we love our neighbors and serve our communities? 
     
    In The Justice of Jesus, public theologian and international speaker Joash Thomas reveals how authentic biblical faith naturally leads to caring for the vulnerable and working for positive change in our neighborhoods. Drawing from his unique perspective serving in churches across different cultures and continents, Thomas shows how justice isn't just a "social issue"--it's at the very heart of what it means to follow Christ. Whether you're a pastor, small group leader, or simply want to make a real difference in your community, this book offers practical wisdom you can actually use: 
     
    ● simple steps to help your church better serve struggling families in your neighborhood 
    ● biblical foundations that show why caring for others isn't optional for Christians 
    ● real success stories from churches that are making a tangible impact in their communities 
    ● practical ideas for prayer, volunteering, and partnerships that don't require a huge budget 
    ● fresh insights on following Jesus that will deepen your faith and expand your heart 
     
    This isn't about politics. It's about discipleship. 
     
    The Justice of Jesus is perfect for: 
     
    · church leaders seeking authentic community engagement 
    · small groups wanting to study practical discipleship 
    · Christians curious about faith-based social action 
    · anyone asking, "How can my faith make a real difference?" 
     
    Thomas doesn't just point out problems; he provides hope and concrete solutions. Drawing from Scripture and real-world examples, he shows how ordinary believers can do extraordinary things when they embrace Jesus's vision for justice and healing.  
     
    The Justice of Jesus will inspire you with achievable ways to live out your faith more fully and help your church become a beacon of hope in your community.

    Billy boarded the train to Minneapolis. He had come to Los Angeles months before as a small-time preacher. Now he was leaving as one of the most recognized Christians in the country. It was not what Billy had sought; he'd just been open for God to use. Billy wondered if this would be the peak of his fame or if something bigger was about to happen.The oldest son of dairy farmers from Charlotte, North Carolina, young Billy Graham (1918-) attended evangelical revival meetings that inspired him for the rest of his life. As an ordained minister, he rose to prominence and would subsequently preach the Christian message to over 200 million people in 185 countries. Graham championed civil rights, befriended US politicians and presidents, and traveled the world to places no one else dared to go. His life and ministry have shaped the spiritual life of America and offer hope for the future -- inspiring new generations of leaders willing to serve with courage, integrity, and vision.
