Discipleship occurs when someone answers the call to learn from Jesus how to live his or her life as though Jesus were living it. The end result is that the disciple becomes the kind of person who naturally does what Jesus did. How the church understands salvation and the gospel is the key to recovering a biblical theology of discipleship. Our doctrines of grace and salvation, in some cases, actually prevent us from creating an expectation that we are to be disciples of Jesus. A person can profess to be a Christian and yet still live under the impression that they don’t need to actually follow Jesus. Being a follower is seen as an optional add-on, not a requirement. It is a choice, not a demand. Being a Christian today has no connection with the biblical idea that we are formed into the image of Christ. In this ground-breaking new book, pastor and author Bill Hull shows why our existing models of evangelism and discipleship fail to actually produce followers of Jesus. He looks at the importance of recovering a robust view of the gospel and taking seriously the connection between conversion—answering the call to follow Jesus—and discipleship—living like the one we claim to follow.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will hurt me until the day I die. I dedicate this work to the clients of my forty-six years of therapy and pastoral work who have shared their pain and sorrow inflicted by words. No wound is more difficult to overcome than the wound caused by words. Love is destroyed by words. Families are separated by words. Young lives are placed on roads that lead to dead-ends and destructions by words. Careers are ended, reputations are lost and wars are begun all because of words. To the many who have suffered so greatly I pray this book will help others understand your pain. Like apples of gold in settings of silver is a word spoken in right circumstances. (Proverbs 23:11 New American Standard Bible)

In this collection of essays and articles, including sermons and columns written for the Cen-La Focus, Henry C. Blount, Jr. D. Min walks us through his faith and unique way of seeing the world. Wise, worldly, and always quick with a quote or a witticism, these are meditations on life in a time of uncertainty that will bring comfort to anyone seeking it. Living Faithfully in the Age of Terror is the culmination of a lifetime of study, and brings together the experience of a man who has counseled families for decades. It offers Blount’s spin on subjects from displaying Grace to thumping watermelons, truly demonstrating his commitment to a “dynamic” Christianity that seeks truth wherever it may turn up – sometimes the most unlikely places.

There appears to be a distinct lack of God's power and presence in the lives of most Christians and their churches. Many are not experiencing the joy and peace that God offers to His children. The normal Christian life is meant to be one that expresses daily the reality of the life of Jesus Christ in and through followers of Christ - lives exhibiting His power and presence in all circumstances. This book examines a Missing Link in the lives of many Christians that will explain the lack of power and victory. The reader will be challenged to search Scripture and his or her own life and relationship with God to understand the important teachings of this book. Henry Hall Powell, Jr. is an ordained Christian minister and has served as an expository preacher and teacher since 1974. The Missing Link is Mr. Powell's first book and reflects his ongoing commitment to provide insight into the practical application of biblical truths for those who seek true spirituality. Mr. Powell received an A.B. Degree in Philosophy and Religion from Guilford College, attended Columbia Graduate School of Bible and Theology, and earned a M.B.A. degree from Winthrop University. He lives with his wife Melinda in Kure Beach, North Carolina and they have three married daughters and eight grandchildren.
