Sinopse

Take a grace-filled journey toward freedom from self-focus 
 
· identify the wounds, assumptions, and scripts that keep you focused on self 
· learn to recognize your true self 
· break the bondage of self-focus to freely focus on God 
 
We are never more fragile than when we make ourselves the center of our story, because we will never live up to the expectations others have for us, to say nothing of the expectations we have for ourselves. But the answer to our problem is not as simple as shifting our focus. Finding freedom in self-forgetfulness is a sacred journey, and this book is your guide. 
 
In Gazing at God, Sharon Hodde Miller leads you through a step-by-step process of turning away from self and toward God and others. During this 40-day journey, you will 
 
· identify the wounds, assumptions, and scripts that keep you focused on self 
· learn to recognize your true self 
· break the bondage of self-focus to freely focus on God 
 
If you long for a life where you are not preoccupied by self-improvement and wondering how you measure up, let this devotional show you a better way forward.

    In The Future is Bivocational, Andrew Hamilton casts a compelling vision for bivocational mission and ministry. He not only provides a strong biblical and missiological rationale for bivocational leadership, but he also shares practical insight on the benefits and challenges of being bivocational. I really love this book. I will recommend it often to pastors and church planters.Brad Brisco, Director of Bivocational Church Planting for the North AmericanMission Board and author of Missional Essentials and Next Door as It Is in Heaven 
    Andrew is an experienced and insightful bivocational pastor. He has written a challenging book, calling the church to reconsider its bivocational roots and to explore this dimension as the means to a healthy and vibrant missional future. The Future is Bivocational ought to be read and taken seriously by all pastors who seek effective missional engagement and connection with the world around them.Alan Hirsch, Founding Director of Forge Mission Training Network

    A Psalm for Unseen Servants -...

    In every church, ministry, or workforce, there are servants that work with diligence and compassion in the background. They are the dedicated workers that unlock the doors before anyone pulls into the parking lot. They are the ones that stay behind to clean up the messes made throughout the day. They are the ones we’ve seen countless times, but hardly ever acknowledge. They are the Unseen Servants, the Levites of our time. In A Psalm for Unseen Servants, Hance Dilbeck provides a resource that not only acknowledges the ministry of these dedicated workers, but thanks them for what they have done, and encourages them to not lose their dedication to the task at hand…for their work may often go unnoticed in this world, but their dedication furthers the Kingdom of God.These servants are in every church. Though they may receive a nod to their service from time to time, they do not always have a resource that acknowledges and celebrates their service. Hance Dilbeck, President of Guidestone, believes that this project is one that is important for churchgoers to note the very real service coming from the servants that often go unseen.

    Christianity and the Qur'an -...

    A leading Qur'anic scholar's revisionary account of how Islam emerged in dialogue with Christian traditions Challenging the dominant narrative about the history of the Qur'an and the emergence of Islam in a predominantly pagan context, Gabriel Said Reynolds presents the Qur'an as a text born within a largely Christian culture. As he examines the ways the Qur'an engages with Christian traditions—not only those of the New Testament but also those of late antique Christian literature—and with Christians themselves, Reynolds also draws on recent scholarship on pre-Islamic Arabic inscriptions suggesting that monotheism, Christianity in particular, was a significant presence in the pre-Islamic Hijaz, the region in which Muhammad preached. This study resituates the Qur'an as a text thoroughly concerned with Christianity, not just the longer narratives of individuals such as Mary and Jesus but also passages that do not mention Christians explicitly. The Qur'an's stance toward Christianity is on occasion controversial, aiming to advance Islamic theology and undermine Christian apologetical arguments, yet the Qur'an is not always polemical. At times, the text makes use of the audience's knowledge of the Bible to advance its own vision of God and God's relationship with humanity.

    A heartwarming adventure for kids ages 8-12 with a missing dog, a determined girl, a pink-haired aunt, and themes of faith and friendship. 
    Twelve-year-old Kimmy trusts dogs more than people. 
    After all, her dog Bo never made fun of her for having one hand. But two years ago, Bo disappeared. 
    When Kimmy stumbles across a magazine photo of a dog in upstate New York that looks just like Bo, she knows she has to find him. Her parents seem oddly unsupportive, but pink-haired, adventure-hungry Aunt Skylar agrees to a road trip with a stop in the Adirondacks. Kimmy jumps at the chance to bring her furry family member home. 
    Unfortunately, Aunt Skylar’s idea of a road trip isn’t the rescue mission Kimmy had in mind.
