Perspectives On Family Ministry
$19.99
In Perspectives on Family Ministry, Timothy Paul Jones makes the case that every church is called to some form of family ministry-but what he means by “family ministry” isn’t simply one more program to add to an already-packed schedule! According to Jones, the most effective family ministries involve refocusing every church process to engage parents in the process of discipling their children and to draw family members together instead of pulling them apart.Jones sets the stage with introductory chapters on the historical contexts and foundations of family ministry. Then, three effective practitioners show clearly how your church can make the transition to family ministry. Paul Renfro (pastor of discipleship at Grace Family Baptist Church in Spring, Texas) writes in favor of Family-Integrated Ministry, where the emphasis is on intergenerational discipleship. Brandon Shields (minister to high school students at Highview Baptist Church, a multi-site megachurch in Kentucky and Indiana) supports Family-Based Ministry-ministry that organizes programs according to ages and interests but also develops intentional activities and training events to bring families together. Jay Strother (minister to emerging generations at Brentwood Baptist Church in Tennessee) prefers Family-Equipping Ministry, maintaining age-organized ministry while reorganizing the congregation to call parents to become active partners in the discipleship of their children.

Through The Eyes Of A Lion
$16.99Add to cartWhat will you do when the unthinkable happens in your life?
They called her Lenya Lion because of her ferocious personality and full head of hair, which had been wild and mane-like since birth. But they never expected their five-year-old daughter to suddenly go to heaven after an asthma attack five days before Christmas. How do you walk out of an emergency room without your daughter? In Through the Eyes of a Lion, Pastor Levi Lusko shares the eye-opening truth of the power of hope in a world that is often filled with pain, suffering, and loss. He says, “This is not a book about death. It’s about life, and through it I want you to see that God made you for a purpose. There is a wild and wonderful calling on your life, a microphone in your hands. Jesus wants you to look at the adventure of your life through his eyes, the eyes of a Lion.” Part memoir but all overtly instructive and deeply inspirational, Through the Eyes of a Lion gives readers the tools they need to live without fear in a world where nothing is certain. Chapter themes include:
*Don’t rely on the naked eye
*Remain planted in the house
*No such thing as a wireless anchor
*Let God use your pain
*Cue the eagleWhat we do in life really does echo in eternity. You are destined for impact, and there’s not a moment to lose!

In this six-session Bible study (DVD/digital downloads sold separately), Lysa TerKeurst has walked this journey, wrestling with deep wounds that feel impassible and struggling to move forward. And she’s discovered that, to find life-giving freedom, we have to let go of our bound-up resentment and resistance to forgiving people who’ve hurt us. With deep empathy, therapeutic insight, and rich Bible teaching coming out of 1,000 hours of study, Lysa helps us:
*learn how to move on when the other person refuses to change and never says they’re sorry;
*walk through a step-by-step process to free ourselves from the hurt of our past and feel less offended today;
*discover what the Bible really says about forgiveness and the peace that comes from living it out right now;
*identify what’s stealing trust and vulnerability from our relationships so we can believe there is still good ahead; and
*disempower the triggers hijacking our emotions by embracing the two necessary parts of forgiveness.
