The Core of the Christian Faith...

Michael W. Goheen

Internationally renowned author and speaker Michael Goheen helps listeners understand the basics of Christianity in this accessible book. He explains that the church needs a process of formation that equips Christians to be faithful to the gospel, stand firm against the winds of cultural idolatry, and fulfill their role as the new humanity living for the sake of the world. 
 
 
 
Drawing on experience from years of speaking and writing, Goheen unpacks the heart of the Christian faith through four key components. He lays out a formation process that guides Christians to (1) return to the good news as a comprehensive and powerful message of God's kingdom, (2) recover the Bible as the one true story of the whole world, (3) retrieve a deep consciousness of their missional identity, and (4) engage in a missionary encounter with culture. Together, these components form Christians to be faithful to their calling. 
 
 
 
This succinct summary of Goheen's vision of the Christian faith will help local churches develop discipleship programs and encourage Christians to make formation a priority. The Core of the Christian Faith will appeal to laypeople, small groups, pastors, and church leaders.

This Is My Body - A Call to...

Robert Barron

A recent Pew Forum survey revealed the startling statistic that 69% of Catholics do not believe in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. For the majority of Catholics today, the Eucharist is merely a symbol of Christ, and the Mass is merely a collectivity of like-minded individuals gathering to remember his life.  This indicates a spiritual disaster, for the Eucharist is “the source and summit of the Christian life.” In response to this crisis, Bishop Robert Barron, then the Chair of the Committee on Evangelization and Catechesis for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, began working with his brother bishops on a solution. From these conversations, the National Eucharistic Revival was born.This Is My Body: A Call to Eucharistic Revival is designed to accompany that revival. In this brief but illuminating text, Bishop Barron offers a threefold analysis of the Eucharist as sacred meal, sacrifice, and Real Presence, helping readers to understand the sacrament of Jesus’ Body and Blood more thoroughly so that they might fall in love with him more completely.  Discover the profound truth flowing out of Jesus’ words at the Last Supper: “Take, eat; this is my body. . . . Drink from it, all of you; for this is my blood of the covenant.”
