The Missing Jewel in the Crown of Glory

"Learn the skills to lead your church toward fulfillment of God's vision . . .Why didn't anyone ever teach me that? In more than twenty-five years of consulting with pastors and churches, Dr. Rob Peters has heard this question more than any other. In fact, it is a question he asked himself, having reached a point in ministry where he was uncertain of what his next steps should be in his quest to effectively lead God's people. In The Overseer: The Missing Jewel in the Crown of Glory, Dr. Peters shares the Biblical insights that have enabled him to answer that question for himself and hundreds of other pastors from churches of all sizes, from a variety of denominations, and located on five continents. Though seminaries have traditionally done a good job of training pastors to preach meaningfully and minister pastorally, Dr. Peters asserts that the Biblical role of overseer-including the knowledge and skills needed to cast God's vision for the church, to inspire committed discipleship, to define the specific path the local church should follow, and to lead the church toward fulfillment of the Great Commission in the community and throughout the world-has largely been overlooked. As a result, pastors seeking to revitalize and redirect churches toward greater effectiveness find themselves at a loss.Through diligent, prayerful study of the Biblical typology associated with the role of overseer, Dr. Peters has discerned the Scriptural patterns, principles, and competencies that pastors and other church leaders need to be able to reclaim the "missing jewel": faithful execution of the overseer role. Firmly rooted in Scripture and avoiding "trendy new lingo applied to recycled business principles," the path to church revitalization described by Dr. Peters's ReFocus process offers a solution to the trend toward decline currently plaguing the western Church. God's people have never needed visionary overseers more than now, and Dr. Rob Peters's The Overseer provides a trustworthy guide for those who long to help their churches pursue Christ's vision for the church and the world."

Dallas Willard

Rediscovering Our Hidden Life in God

A renowned teacher and writer of the acclaimed The Spirit of the Disciplines, Dallas Willard, one of today's most brilliant Christian thinkers now offers a timely and challenging call back to the true meaning of Christian discipleship. In The Divine Conspiracy, Willard gracefully weaves biblical teaching, popular culture, science, scholarship, and spiritual practice into a tour de force that shows the necessity of profound changes in how we view our lives and faith. In an era when many Christians consider Jesus a beloved but remote savior, Willard argues compellingly for the relevance of God to every aspect of our existence. Masterfully capturing the central insights of Christ's teachings in a fresh way for today's seekers, he helps us to explore a revolutionary way to experience God--by knowing Him as an essential part of the here and now, rather than only as a part of the hereafter. "The most telling thing about the contemporary Christian," Willard writes, "is that he or she has no compelling sense that understanding of and conformity with the clear teachings of Christ is of any vital importance to [their] life, and certainly not that it is in any way essential . . . Such obedience is regarded as just out of the question or impossible." Christians, he says, for the most part consider the primary function of Christianity to be admittance to heaven. But, as Willard clearly shows, a faith that guarantees a satisfactory afterlife, yet has absolutely no impact on life in the here and now, is nothing more than "consumer Christianity" and "bumper-sticker faith." Willard refutes this "fire escape" mentality by exploring the true nature of the teachings of Jesus, who intended that His followers become His disciples, and taught that we have access now to the life we are only too eager to relegate to the hereafter. The author calls us into a more authentic faith and offers a practical plan by which we can become Christ-like. He challenges us to step aside from the politics and pieties of contemporary Christian practice and inspires us to reject the all too common lukewarm faith of our times by embracing the true meaning of Christian discipleship.

Sermon on the Mount

Emphasizing the historical distance between the New Testament and our contemporary culture, The Sermon on the Mount by Scot McKnight, part of the new The Story of God BibleCommentary series, offers helpful contextual insights for those seeking to discern how to live out the Bible in today's world. Perfect for pastors, students, Sunday school teachers, and lay people alike, this highly anticipated series provides a clear and compelling exposition of the text in the context of the Bible's overarching story. The authors move away from "application" language, which has been criticized as being too simplistic, encouraging instead a wider perspective and discussion of how the biblical story can be lived today. Offering a new type of application commentary for today's context, the Story of God Bible Commentary series explains and illuminates Scripture as God's Story, with each New Testament text examined as embedded in its canonical and historical setting, in order to foster discernment in living the story faithfully and creatively with and for the Church in the 21st Century.

What Is Christianity All About?

There are a growing number of people who have mistaken ideas about Christianity. Why? Because the media's politically correct agenda has redefined historical religious terms. Meanwhile, liberal Christianity denies the supernatural and explains away anything miraculous. Dr. Towns attempts to answer these problems. He takes the Bible at face value and explains Christianity's basic concepts beginning with the premise that Christianity is a Person--Jesus Christ. Then chapter-by-chapter, he builds a coherent and consistent case so the reader will correctly understand what Christianity is all about.

*The book gives a rational overview of Christianity so the modern mind will interact with God's claim upon its life. *The book gives a comprehensive coverage of Christianity so the reader will intelligently understand what Christians believe and how they should live.
