Beschreibung

Reexamining the Nature of Leadership and "Followership" in Light of Biblical Teaching
The market is flooded with books, conferences, and workshops on how to be a better leader. In most companies, leaders are noticed and applauded while followers are often viewed as weak and passive. However, Scripture tells us a different story; although leadership is valued and respected, being obedient followers of Christ is at the very heart of faith.  
In The Call to Follow, Richard Langer and Joanne J. Jung teach readers that "followership" is essential to both organizational and spiritual flourishing. They argue that followership requires the development of specific skills and virtues modeled and extolled throughout Scripture. They point to examples of people from the Bible and church history who focused on following in the footsteps of their Savior rather than positions of leadership among others. This helpful book seeks to dismantle the idol of leadership that's so prevalent in our culture and points us instead to the biblical concept of followership. 

- Biblically Centered: Contains examples of "followership" from Scripture and church history 
- Mission Oriented: Explains how being a follower of Jesus Christ is a missional calling
- Community Focused: Written to encourage Christ followers, in both leadership and followership positions

    You picked up this book and started to read it, but why have you chosen this book, and why have you chosen the Asatru religion. Perhaps you know nothing about Norse Heathenry, or maybe you have heard a little about it, and you want to know more. It does not matter why you chose to start this journey; it only matters that this journey is starting. At worst, this book will provide you with a way to live your life that is honorable. At best, you will find a plethora of gods and goddesses that can help guide you through life, rich mythology, and the possibility of magic. Asatru has been around for a long time, and it will continue to be. It was once popular, lost popularity, and is on the rise again. There is a reason it is on the rise again, and it is not by chance that more people are turning to heathenry, though we can attribute it to fate. As with all religions, some will twist the messages contained to fit their own dishonorable needs, and you can find bad apples within any apple cart. Asatru is an inclusive religion, and no one is exempt from practicing it.

    In his twenties, Fydor Dostoevsky, son of a Moscow doctor, graduate of a military academy, and rising star of Russian literature, found himself standing in front of a firing squad, accused of subversive activities against the Russian Tsar. Then the drums rolled, signaling that instead he was to be exiled to the living death of Siberia.  Siberia was so cold the mercury froze in the thermometer. In prison, Dostoevsky was surrounded by murderers, thieves, parricides, and brigands who drank heavily, quarreled incessantly, and fought with horrible brutality. However, while "prisoners were piled on top of each other in the barracks, and the floor was matted with an inch of filth," Dostoevsky learned a great deal about the human condition that was to impact his writing as nothing had before.  To absorb Dostoevsky's remarkable life in these pages is to encounter a man who not only examined the quest of God, the problem of evil, and the suffering of innocents in his writing but also drew inspiration from his own deep Christian faith in giving voice to the common people of his nation... and ultimately the world.

    A young Black girl, haunted by childhood trauma and self-doubt, rises above adversity to become a beacon of hope and healing for others. Our brains can be injured by physical, verbal emotional, mental, spiritual, and psychological abuse. However, through a personal relationship with God, we can be healed from past hurt, low self-esteem, lack of self-worth, and battling self-image. Understanding that even in all the trials, tribulations, highs and lows, we go through, there is purpose in and for our lives. It's for the reason of purpose and the anointing of the Holy Spirit that we go through the depths of hell because the enemy does not want us to come into the fullness and understanding of who we are in God and who He created us to be. We would go on to impact the world with our testimonies, build and leave a legacy for generations to come.

    For any woman dealing with the fallout of infidelity, this sensitive and practical guide offers proven tools to help you make wise and empowering decisions as you deal with your husband’s sexual betrayal. 
    If you have been devastated by your husband's sexual betrayal--whether an isolated incident or a long-term pattern of addiction--you don't have to live as a victim. If you choose to stay in your marriage, you have options other than punishing, tolerating, or ignoring your spouse; in fact, extraordinary growth awaits a woman willing to deal with the pain of her husband's struggles with sexual purity. Even if your spouse will not participate in a program for healing, you can change your own life in powerful and permanent ways.  
    Shattered Vows is inspired by Debra Laaser's own journey through betrayal, her extensive work with hundreds of hurting women as a licensed marriage and family therapist, and her healed marriage after her husband's infidelity.  
    In this book, she gives you the emotional tools to develop greater intimacy in your life, spiritual tools to transform your suffering, and meaningful answers to the questions that arise amid the complex fallout of broken vows:  
    What am I supposed to do now? 
    Why should I get help when this is his problem? 
    How could this have happened? 
    Where can I hide my heart? 
    When will I stop feeling so out of control? 
    What do you mean, "do I want to get well?" 
    How can I ever trust him again? 
    Is forgiving him really possible? 
    How can we rebuild our relationship? 
    The pain endured from sexual betrayal can break your heart, but it does not need to break your life.

    What does it mean to be human?
    This timeless question proves critical as we seek to understand our purpose, identity, and significance. Amidst the many voices clamoring to shape our understanding of humanity, the Bible reveals important truths related to our human identity and vocation that are critical to the flourishing of all of creation.
    Carmen Joy Imes seeks to recover the theologically rich message of the creation narratives starting in the book of Genesis as they illuminate what it means to be human. Every human being is created as God's image. Imago Dei is our human identity, and God appointed humans to rule on God's behalf. Being God's Image explores the implications of this kinship relationship with God and considers what it means for our work, our gender relations, our care for creation, and our eternal destiny. The Bible invites us into a dramatically different quality of life: a beloved community in which we can know God and one another as we are truly known.
    In Being God's Image, you'll find:
    
    - Imes's clear, insightful exploration of our deepest questions: what it means to be human,
    - A discussion guide for personal reflection or group study,
    - Additional links to related video material through the BibleProject.
