My image of God the Father, enthroned in heaven in flowing white robes and Birkenstock sandals, was overshadowed by my certainty that he didn't want me to have any fun. God was all about rules.--from Chapter Five Too many young Catholics experience their faith as Mark Hart did: They rarely miss Mass even if they don't understand it; they have a Bible even if they never read it; they go to confession even if they aren't particularly repentant. Is that your experience of Catholicism? Is yours a faith of Thou Shalt Nots? If so, forget about a dreary life of mindless obedience to rules you don't understand. It's time to enter into the transforming light of your Creator who invites you to live from the still center of his undying love. The author's humorous and hard-hitting reflections drive home the point that God isn't calling the reader to be a good person--someone who merely obeys the rules--but a new person in Jesus Christ.

How Do You Care for the Sick? Here’s How. One of the marks of the ministry of Jesus is his compassionate care for the sick. Jesus brought healing and hope to individuals struggling with life-debilitating illnesses. Ministry to the sick should also be a mark of his followers, but in many churches today it is neglected or pushed to the periphery of ministry concerns. To counter our modern tendency to minimize or ignore sickness, pastor Brian Croft looks to paradigms of the past and examines historical models of care that honor God, obey the teachings of Scripture, and communicate loving care to those who are struggling with sickness and disease. Part of the Practical Shepherding series of resources, Visit the Sick provides pastors and ministry leaders with real-world help to do the work of pastoral ministry in a local church. Visit the Sick gives pastors, church leaders, and caregivers the biblical, theological, pastoral, and practical tools they need to navigate through both the spiritual and physical care of the sick and dying.

“Tony has always been fascinated by the effect believing has on our lives. After years of reading books and going to conferences he has found the effect was temporary. His personal belief is that we have a believing switch somewhere within us and if we can get it turned on; everything works, but when it is turned off nothing works. This is his journey to find that switch and turn it on”.

How Did It Happen?“God has promised me that His mercies toward me are new every morning, but lately I’ve begun to feel pretty stale.”The Lord has promised that out of us rivers of pure, life-giving water would flow. But over time, we often find that water can become polluted with the cares of this world, dragging us into mediocrity. Has the freshness in your walk with the Lord somehow diminished? Have you failed and now wonder if there is a way to fully recover? Do you hunger for a life beyond the rut of mediocrity? This easy-to-read book is full of short chapters that touch on these issues and many more. Let K.P. Yohannan take you on a journey back up the mountain to the source of true, living water—Christ Himself. As you daily choose the narrow path that Jesus walked, you will discover God’s ultimate purpose for your life: to reflect His likeness and walk in His newness of life.
