What if the Church radically shifted the focus of her mission to making disciples one person at a time?
Everett Fritz outlines a framework for one-to-one outreach that helps us develop as mentors in faith, furthering the Kingdom of God as Jesus commanded when he told us to go and make disciples. When we learn how to focus on a ministry of one, we will multiply our efforts to create a movement that meets the spiritual needs of many.
Whether you're someone who's actively involved in professional or volunteer ministry or an everyday Catholic who wants to share your faith, One Disciple at a Time reveals how you can live out your calling to spread the Gospel by focusing on forming disciples one at a time.
Drawing on insights gleaned from his personal spiritual journey and work in Catholic parish ministry, Fritz--founder and executive director of Andrew Ministries--shares practical steps for transforming our approach to living our faith and sharing it with others. In this book, you will learn:
There is great power in a personal invitation because it becomes the seed to develop a relationship.
If you want to make a lifelong disciple of Jesus Christ, you have to be committed to accompany them throughout their lifetime.
Lessons from Jesus's relationship with Simon Peter can transform the way we mentor in faith.
Taking someone from disciple to sainthood requires assisting that person with the crosses that they bear, as well as witnessing to the reality of the cross in your own life.
Formation needs to include identifying the person's God-given gifts and working with them to use those gifts to build up the Church.

Описание: This book explores the many different strands in the language of civil society from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries. Through a series of case-studies it investigates the applicability of the term to a wide range of historical settings. The contributors show how past understandings of the term were often very different from (even in some respects the exact opposite of) those held today.
Have you ever been told to "Step up and take responsibility for your family?" Maybe you have thought, "I want to be a godly husband or father, but I don't know where to start."
I have felt that way, too. After listening to motivational talks and challenging sermons on those topics, I was roused to action-only to
be disappointed by a lack of how-to Christian resources.
So I spent years observing men spiritually leading their families in the Lord. I experimented with different ways to engage my wife and
kids-some worked and some failed miserably. I studied Scripture to understand what the Lord asks of us as husbands and fathers. It was a long road, and the journey led to Leading Well at Home. It will show you:
how to be a man after God's own heart-no matter where your heart is right now
how to intentionally love, serve, and cherish your wife-no matter the state of your marriage right now
how to emotionally, purposefully, and spiritually connect with your kids-no matter what your family is like right now
Along the way, you will be encouraged with specific examples and tangible action steps designed to help you put these concepts into practice. After reading this book, you will be empowered with the tools to change your marriage, your family, and the legacy you leave for your children and grandchildren.
Описание: ARE YOU NEGLECTING THE GREATEST SOURCE OF POWER IN YOUR LIFE?The Power of Faith is one of the earliest and most profoundly practical works to come from the Rev. Norman Vincent Peale, author of The Power of Positive Thinking. Written in 1940, twelve years before Peale's classic on positivity, The Power of Faith describes in simple, clear terms how to harness the extraordinary energies of prayer, reflection, faith, and religious insight to revolutionize your life in the areas of relationships, business, self-image, healing, guilt, peace of mind, and purpose. In this first-ever abridgement-introduced and edited by PEN Awardwinning historian and New Thought scholar Mitch Horowitz-the pioneering minister of positive spirituality shows you:
Why prayer works.
How faith in a higher power eases your mind about business.
Why you are never truly alone.
How to move past grief.
The true source of self-respect and positive self-image.
The secret to a happy marriage.
In the space of a single sitting, allow Norman Vincent Peale to imbue you with a whole new sense of life.

Описание:
Do you seek the truth? Do you value reason, science, and independent thinking? Are you skeptical of beliefs that people maintain merely on faith, yet you remain interested in the big questions of life? Do you hope there could be a greater purpose to the universe, if only that were realistic? If so, then philosopher Joshua Rasmussen can encourage you in your journey. Beginning with his own story of losing faith and the belief in any ultimate purpose in life, he then builds a bridge to a series of universal truths about ultimate reality. Using only the instruments of reason and common experience, Rasmussen constructs a pathway--step by step, brick by brick--that he argues can lead to meaning and, ultimately, a vision of God.

Описание:
The first comprehensive resource for teaching spiritual leadership development in the twenty-first century--for all faith traditions.
America is changing. Technology, social networking, global economics, immigration, migration and multiculturalism urge communities of faith to expand their vision of spiritual leadership and reflect on how leaders can better serve congregations and communities in the twenty-first century.
In this multifaith, cross-cultural and comprehensive resource for both clergy and lay persons, contributors who are experts in the field explore how to engage spiritual leaders and teach them how to bring healing, faith, justice and support to communities and congregations. They offer tools, advice, practical methodologies and case studies on how stakeholders--congregational leaders, ordained religious leaders, educators, students and community leaders--learn how to do theology in context and grow into faith leadership roles.

The key to happiness is being rich, successful, and beautiful�right? Martin Thielen, best-selling author of What�s the Least I Can Believe and Still Be a Christian?, insists that this is far from the truth. Happiness, Thielen argues, does not come from external factors like getting a job promotion or finally reaching your goal weight. Rather, happiness is an inside job.
In brief, easy-to-read chapters, Thielen offers ten traits of happy and fulfilled people. Using psychological research, personal anecdotes, and Scripture, Thielen begins the path to contentment by showing how life circumstances--including income, health, physical appearance, and marital status--only account for about 10 percent of a person's overall life satisfaction. From there, he offers alternatives to the frequent methods we use to make ourselves happy. Instead of aiming to make more money, Thielen contends that expressing gratitude and cultivating optimism are surer paths to joy. Rather than focusing on constant advancement in our careers, let's practice our ability to forgive, to be generous, and to use trials as growth opportunities. These lessons, and much more, help readers who may be dissatisfied in their lives see that authentic contentment is closer than they ever imagined.
The book features a guide for group or individual study, which includes questions for reflection and a challenge for each individual to reflect on during the week.
