"For I know well the plans I have in mind for you ... plans for your welfare, not for woe! Plans to give you a future full of hope." Jeremiah 29:11 In her book Walk with me, Jesus, philosopher and writer Ronda Chervin, Ph.D. offers widows a practical spiritual path that can help them attain hope and faith in God's love and provision. Using the stories of women saints who suffered the loss of a husband, she encourages and affirms women in their new state in life while leading them on the journey to healing and interior joy. Drawing from the themes of the Stations of the Cross, Dr. Chervin ties the sufferings of widowhood with the Passion of the Savior in a way that is both beautiful and healing. Quotes from Scripture and the saints, and prayers to help you turn your heart toward the Lord and His Mother, offer consolation and hope.
Have we over complicated, over systematized, and over formalized making disciples? When our hearts are changed by Christ, it’s natural that we should want to help others come to know Him too. And while Scripture clearly sets forth how to do so, modern Western society has formalized, professionalized, and systemized disciplemaking to a point that it seems too complicated to practice. What happened to the simple, heart-to-heart ministries of the New Testament? In Walk with Me, you’ll return to the essential biblical practices that help people grow as Christ-followers in simple, slow, and deep ways. Learn how you can connect with your neighbors, coworkers, or anyone you want to reach with the gospel in ways that are relational and Spirit-led. You’ll learn five kingdom principles that will reshape how you can pass on the faith: In heart-to-heart ways By keeping it simple By going slow By building deep By living on mission
Just a few verses into the Gospels, we find Jesus calling them, a handful of men whom He knew He could teach. He poured himself into them, teaching them, helping them to understand that each had a purpose beyond private adoration. Yet today the purposeful act of privately turning Christians into disciples and training them to mentor others has been all but lost, confused with instruction from the pulpit, or replaced by strategies that are far from complete. This book will give you a roadmap to begin building your own practice of discipleship and, most importantly, help you on the way as you train others for their own mentoring practices. Rediscover the premier practice of Jesus' lifestyle and begin intentionally mentoring others in the life to which we are called. Book jacket.

Jesus always walks with us, but are we like the disciples on the road to Emmaus and do not see him? Jean Vanier invites children to see how Jesus calls us to live and to follow him; to be his disciples, his friends today, in our world. These pages were written to help us recognise Jesus, to see more clearly where he is alive in the world today. The book is divided into three sections based on the story of Emmaus. Its focus is to express the central message of the Gospel to serve those who are suffering and needy, and we are strengthened in this by prayers, the word of God and the love of our brothers and sisters. This book is simple enough for children and powerful for adults.
