Recovering the Wisdom of Early Christian Figures to Effectively Shepherd Modern Churches In addition to the regular demands of preaching and shepherding, modern pastors feel undue pressure to entertain congregants and increase attendance numbers. Often, churches resort to the latest business models to keep pace. But true, life-giving guidance lies in Scripture and the wisdom of those having come before us. Ancient Wisdom for the Care of Souls helps pastors to embrace a classic, biblical vision of ministry through the study of selected pastoral virtues and early church figures. Gregory of Nyssa and Gregory the Great both referred to ministry as “the care of souls.” Calling for a “return to the sources,” professors Coleman M. Ford and Shawn J. Wilhite ponder what a scriptural vision of ministry is, how patristic voices help inform this vision, and how pastors today can cultivate this pastoral vision in their churches. Each chapter examines an important pastoral topic―such as humility, the sacraments, and contemplative theology―and brings it to life through a constructive model and profiles of early church fathers. Encouraged by the patristic wisdom of Irenaeus, Athanasius, John Chrysostom, and more, readers learn a simple and slower model for pastoring that they can emulate as they care for their communities. A slower pace of life may, in fact, help pastors cultivate the soil of souls more richly and, as a result, return to ministry as “the care of souls.” Applicable: Enriches the spiritual and ministerial practices of modern pastors through ancient church wisdom, pastoral reflections, and examples from Scripture Theological and Historical: Features detailed profiles of church fathers, including Ambrose of Milan, Augustine, Gregory of Nazianzus, Basil of Caesarea, Gregory of Nyssa, and others Written for Students and Pastors: Ideal for college-level courses, as well as new or seasoned ministers

Your relationships are the key to a thriving life that satisfies your soul. Don't settle for lonely. 
 
 
 
Despite technology that allows for more connection than any previous generation, our culture is drowning in loneliness. Human beings are deeply relational, longing to be known, welcomed, encouraged, and connected. Yet most of us go through life lacking some of the key relationships we need in order to feel fulfilled. The answer to our loneliness problem is not found in the quantity of relationships, but rather in finding and growing five specific types of relationships, which make up a blueprint for belonging revealed in the life of Jesus. 
 
 
 
Mining the Gospels for insight, pastor and author Alli Patterson unveils the five types of relationships, cultivated by Jesus, that you still need today: your core, your circle, your comrades, your community, and your crowd. 
 
 
 
She guides you through a redesign of your own relational world according to this divine blueprint so you can discover authentic, restorative relationships within each of these types that will truly satisfy your soul.

Riley Kehoe is no stranger to fear. At ten years old, she survived the 2004 Southeast Asian tsunami in Thailand. After that traumatic event killed nearly 230,000 people, she began asking herself each day, What do I want to do with this gift of life I've been given? She realized that she could let fear rule over her—or she could choose to have courage. 
 
 
 
Sharing her remarkable personal story, Riley shows you how small acts of bravery can change your life in ways you can't imagine. They can mean the difference between a life of isolation or one of connection, between playing it safe or taking a bold step forward, between being self-focused or reaching out to help others, between holding a grudge or offering and accepting forgiveness. 
 
 
 
Filled with dramatic and touching stories—such as when Riley performed CPR on a drowned man and brought him back to life and when she climbed onto the ledge of a bridge to talk a young man out of jumping—this book will inspire you to approach every day with a spirit of courage, possibility, and hope.
