The Hidden Flame (Acts of Faith Book #2)

Janette Oke, Davis Bunn

Sinopse

Abigail loses everything and is left with little promise of a normal life. When she discovers the Messiah and joins his followers, she also discovers new meaning and purpose. Maybe she does have a future after all. But increasing persecution is scattering the burgeoning group "to the ends of the earth." And Abigail may have given her heart to the wrong man. 
 
Two suitors desire the lovely Abigail's hand in marriage. One is a successful Hebrew merchant and widower looking for a mother for his children. On the other side is the Roman soldier Linux, who is captivated by her winsome charm and could offer the sanctuary--maybe even the love--for which she yearns. But her heart has been captured by neither of these. Stephen, one of the leaders of The Way, has a character and a faith that move her deeply, but his outspoken preaching has marked him for assassination. Will her faith and courage withstand a heartbreak beyond comprehension?  
 
And then a glimmer of hope appears, one she never would have foreseen.

Leadership in Community - The...

Lee Carter

Leadership in Community is a spiritual formation curriculum that engages new or seasoned missional leaders in the foundations of missiology, leadership theory, and missional leadership practices and tools. The curriculum explores three major topics important for missional leadership, all of which build upon one another: the missiology, community, and ethics of missional leadership. These themes are explored through a spiritual formation practice called Lectio Missio, an expansion of Lectio Divina that incorporates missional themes and practices. Using Lectio Missio, small groups of missional leaders engage in Scripture reading and study, prayer, conversation, meditation, journaling, reflection, and experiential learning. These disciplines focus on spiritual formation as the basis of missional leadership training and development.

When God Became White -...

Grace Ji-Sun Kim, David P. Gushee

When Western Christians think about God, the default image that comes to mind is usually white and male. How did that happen? 
 
 
 
Christianity is rooted in the ancient Near East among people of darker skin. But over time, European Christians cast Jesus in their own image, with art that imagined a fair-skinned Savior in the style of imperial rulers. Grace Ji-Sun Kim explores the historical origins and theological implications of how Jesus became white and God became a white male. The myth of the white male God has had a devastating effect as it enabled Christianity to have a profoundly colonialist posture across the globe. Kim examines the roots of the distortion, its harmful impact on the world, and shows what it looks like to recover the biblical reality of a nonwhite, nongendered God. Rediscovering God as Spirit leads us to a more just faith and a better church and world.

Reckoning with Power - Why the...

David E. Fitch

History is clear: Whenever the church has aligned itself with worldly, coercive power, it ends up on the wrong side of important justice issues. 
 
 
 
But when the church cooperates with God's power through his presence among the least powerful, its witness for Jesus transforms the world into a better place. 
 
 
 
In Reckoning with Power, David Fitch unpacks the difference between worldly power, or power over others, and God's power, which engages not in coercion but in love, reconciliation, grace, forgiveness, and healing. 
 
 
 
In a world where we can see the abuses of power everywhere—in our homes, schools, governments, and churches—Fitch teaches listeners how to discern power and avoid its abuses and traumas. By learning from the church's historical pitfalls, Fitch empowers Christians to relinquish worldly power and make space for God to disrupt and transform our culture for his kingdom.
