DOWNLOAD EBOOKReflecting on the practice of disciple making in young adult, college, graduate, and local church contexts, Jonathan Dodson has discerned some common pitfalls. For many, discipleship is reduced to a form of religious performance before God. For others, it devolves into spiritual license and a loose adherence to spiritual facts. Both approaches distort biblical motivations for Christian obedience and are in need of reform. By explaining various motivations for discipleship, Dodson charts a biblically faithful, grace-driven alternative. Additionally, he provides a practical model for creating gospel-centered discipleship groups—small, reproducible, missional, gender-specific groups of believers that fight for faith together. This book blends both theology and practice to inspire and equip Christians to effectively fight sin, keep Jesus central, and make gospel-centered discipleship a way of life. Both new and growing Christians will learn to trust the gospel in community as they fight together for holiness as well as how to start gospel-centered community groups in any local church.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHow is it that in America the image of Jesus Christ has been used both to justify the atrocities of white supremacy and to inspire the righteousness of civil rights crusades? In The Color of Christ, Edward J. Blum and Paul Harvey weave a tapestry of American dreams and visions--from witch hunts to web pages, Harlem to Hollywood, slave cabins to South Park, Mormon revelations to Indian reservations--to show how Americans remade the Son of God visually time and again into a sacred symbol of their greatest aspirations, deepest terrors, and mightiest strivings for racial power and justice. The Color of Christ uncovers how, in a country founded by Puritans who destroyed depictions of Jesus, Americans came to believe in the whiteness of Christ. Some envisioned a white Christ who would sanctify the exploitation of Native Americans and African Americans and bless imperial expansion. Many others gazed at a messiah, not necessarily white, who was willing and able to confront white supremacy. The color of Christ still symbolizes America's most combustible divisions, revealing the power and malleability of race and religion from colonial times to the presidency of Barack Obama.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis is a parable about an African American male who grew up on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, basically poor but relatively happy like so many of his peers who played and worked together while dreaming lofty dreams of making a better life for ourselves. Through learning to have faith in God and the proper guidance from family, the church, teachers and a community that expected high achievements from the youth of that community, the die had been cast. Dr. Cartwright was able to develop a huge desire to be the best that he could be and to live a righteous and prosperous life despite his humble beginnings. In this book he used many Biblical principles to remind the public of the living Word in hopes of lifting others up in their daily struggles to succeed. He has unselfishly opened himself up to scrutiny by revealing some of his own darkest moments and how he was able to overcome, hoping to illuminate a path of self redemption and grace that is available to us all.
