  Help your church thrive in a post-everything world. The world is a very different place from what it was just a few years ago. Today’s post-everything world is arguably more divisive, political, indifferent, and impatient than ever. While many believe that the best course of action is to find a way back to how things used to be, is that actually the best way forward? Given the many ways that our world has changed, it’s time for Christian leadership strategies to change, and for churches to approach making disciples, evangelism, and preaching differently than yesterday. The Discipleship Opportunity is a powerful tool for church leaders seeking to navigate the challenges of our rapidly evolving, post-pandemic, post-Christian, and post-everything world. In this helpful resource, Daniel Im equips readers with practical ways to: reach those who are spiritually asleep in your church and community, disciple your church to know Jesus deeply, and preach differently in today’s post-everything world. Discern your church’s path forward by learning how to diagnose which shifts to make. Learn disciple-making principles that are as straightforward as they are timely. Whether you’re a seasoned leader or just starting out, don’t miss this opportunity to emerge as a stronger, healthier, and more evangelistic church.

  Will You Accept God's Gift of Sabbath Rest?
  In our frenzied culture, the possibility of living in balanced rhythms of work and rest often feels elusive. This rings especially true for pastors and leaders who carry the weight of nonstop responsibility. Most know they need rest but might be surprised to find within themselves a deep resistance to letting go and resting in God one day a week, let alone for longer seasons of sabbatical.
  The journey to a meaningful sabbath practice is slow and gradual, and it is a journey we need to take in community. Sharing her own story of practicing sabbath for the past twenty years, Ruth Haley Barton offers hard-won wisdom regarding the rhythms of sabbath, exploring both weekly sabbath keeping as well as extended periods of sabbatical time.
  In Embracing Rhythms of Work and Rest, you'll find:
  
  - Practical steps for embedding sabbath rhythms in churches and organizations, grounding us in God's intentions in giving us the gift of sabbath,
  - An opportunity at the end of each chapter to reflect and engage God around your own journey with the material, and
  - A conversation guide for small groups and communities to foster transformation on a community-level.
  Sabbath is more than a practice—it is a way of life ordered around God's invitation to regular rhythms of work, rest, and replenishment that will sustain us for the long haul of life in leadership.

  A Clear and Concise Exploration of the Christian Doctrine of Scripture  The Bible is the written word of the living God. He speaks through this word, working in and through human agents as he reveals himself to his people. His word is trustworthy, yet many Christians struggle to articulate why they believe that to be true. Centered in the words of Scripture and especially the teaching of Jesus himself, this volume unpacks the doctrine of Scripture as taught by the church through the ages, helping to strengthen readers’ confidence in God’s word.  Despite the challenges that are often leveled against the Bible, Thompson clearly articulates what Jesus taught about the Scriptures, how God speaks to his people through the written word, the crucial work of the Holy Spirit to apply the word, and the vital attributes of Scripture―its clarity, truthfulness, sufficiency, and efficacy. Readers will find encouragement to walk according to the word and to delight in the God who speaks.  Concise and Accessible: Intended for use by church members and leaders as well as those in academic contexts  Christ-Centered: Rooted in Jesus’s own words about the Old Testament and his commissioning of the apostles who would go on to write the New Testament  Addresses Common Questions: Answers challenges about the Bible’s clarity, truthfulness, sufficiency, and efficacy

  The Untold Magellan Story Second...

  The Untold Magellan Story: Second Edition is not a work of fiction—it's a gripping journey through real history. In a bold and imaginative narrative, acclaimed historian Charles Avila brings the legendary Ferdinand Magellan across the Great Divide to speak directly to you, offering personal insights into his life, unprecedented achievements, and hard-earned reflections from five centuries past. 
  Through Avila’s masterful storytelling, Magellan recounts the epic voyage that changed the world: the first circumnavigation of the globe, the discovery of the strait that bears his name, his awe at the Magellanic Clouds, his regret over the naming of an island, and his unintended role in the birth of a nation. 
  This second edition goes further, revisiting the colonial legacy left in the wake of European expansion. In a striking historical turn, even Pope Francis—before his passing—challenged the long-held doctrine of the “right of discovery,” a decree once issued by Pope Alexander VI. Was Magellan’s arrival in the Philippines a heroic feat or an immoral act of imperialism? 
  With fresh insights and provocative questions, this book invites you to rethink history through the eyes of the man who helped shape it. Read the story. Or better yet—listen as Magellan tells it himself.
