Every Christian desires to follow the Bible. But many of the things the Bible teaches---such as its instructions on how to treat slaves or its direction to sell everything one owns---seem to have little relevance to modern life. Picking and choosing what applies today leaves many readers frustrated and confused.
Is it possible that Christians are asking the wrong question of Scripture? Ron Martoia suggests that the narrative sweep of the Bible is lost when it is reduced to quips and maxims. Faithfulness to the text requires faithfulness to its narrative form. Reflecting a high view of Scripture and a profound belief in its power to change lives, Martoia helps readers read the Bible so that its story shapes their own stories. In this new light, readers can move beyond the confusion about what is true today and what is 'outdated.'
With a passion for seeing people experience revolutionary change in their spiritual lives, Martoia shows readers how to look at the big picture of the Bible. As they will soon find out, the view is incredible.
At the age of five, Steve Conroy saw his seven-year-old brother kidnapped from the very bedroom they shared. Now thirty years old with a failing law practice, Steve's last chance to overcome his past just might come from a convicted criminal. But can Steve get the truth he needs from this con man?
Most preaching and teaching in the church engages only one of the senses---hearing. In The Power of Multisensory Preaching and Teaching, Rick Blackwood shows how recognizing and engaging the multiple senses of the congregation can lead to greater impact.
Blackwood presents both biblical evidence and scientific research showing that the more senses we stimulate in teaching and preaching, the greater the levels of learner attention, comprehension, and retention. Blackwood addresses both the 'why' and the 'how' of multisensory communication. Regardless of one's current skill level, this practical book can help anyone add multi-sensory elements to messages in order to take communication to the next level---more compelling, clear, and memorable. As a result of reading this book readers can be more effective as a communicator and teacher. The book includes tools, examples, and worksheets.
Biblically grounded and psychologically informed, Mending the Soul is a first-of-its-kind, comprehensive approach to understanding and treating every form of abuse for:
* Pastoral and ministry staff
* Small group leaders and youth workers
* Educators and seminary students
* Pastoral and clinical counselors
It's time for the church to recognize the epidemic scale of abuse.
Abuse kills.
In its different forms---physical, sexual, verbal, spiritual, or neglectful---abuse deadens the emotions, slays self-worth, cripples the mind, even destroys the body.
Its victims are legion.
They live in your neighborhood, play with your children, and attend your church. In the United States
* one in three women will be physically assaulted by an intimate partner.
* around 1.5 million children are abused or neglected annually.
* at least twenty-five percent of girls experience contact sexual abuse.
But there is hope.
God delights in mending shattered souls. However, healing doesn't come by ignoring the problem of abuse, minimizing its complexities, or downplaying its devastating impact. Healing comes by fully understanding the nature and ramifications of abuse, and by following a biblical path of restoration that allows God's grace to touch the heart's deep wounds.
Mending the Soul sounds the call and leads the charge. Thorough and accessible, here at last is a unique and powerful resource for understanding and healing victims of abuse.
