DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe church is in major decline in the Western world. We cannot continue to use past evangelistic models to reach out to our modern world. Art and Soul explores ways of generating missional conversations in the community through the medium of art, offering theological reflections as well as practical strategies on how to connect with people outside of the church. This book surveys several approaches, including "Art and Soul," a course that teaches people who suffer from depression and anxiety to paint, and introduces youths, refugees, prisoners, and other at-risk people to art in order to better connect with their own personal narrative. Readers will learn about "Art for Justice," or how to use art in the marketplace to begin conversations in their local community. Art and Soul's initiatives for connecting with people through art will inspire and encourage Christ followers to step out and create places to engage with their community.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKScholarship on Fire: A History of the “Chair of Fire” and Southern Baptist Evangelism in Theological Education takes a step back into early-twentieth-century Texas Baptist history and observes the unveiling of the crown jewel of the Southern Baptist Convention, the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and the events that led the forward-thinking architect of theological education, Benajah Harvey (B. H.) Carroll, to the creation of the world’s first endowed chair of evangelism and professorship of evangelism at his newly formed Texas seminary. This book carries the reader through a 112-year history of an academic chair and professorship that both educated men and women in the art of personal and mass evangelism and provided the necessary evangelistic spirit to forge the fervent pioneering, soul-winning denominational spirit that has thrust Southern Baptists to the forefront of evangelistic advancement since their inception in 1845. Studying the auspicious beginnings of evangelism taught in theological education will delve into the lives of the men who have taught Christians to reach their neighbors for Christ Jesus. The “Chair of Fire” has impacted all seminaries and Christian schools around the world because of the inclusion of evangelism in theological education.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book demonstrates how and why biblical discipleship has been abandoned by a significant majority of Christian parents and church leaders. A catastrophic failure to fulfill the Great Commission to make disciples who can effectively pass on the Good News, sound doctrine, and a biblical worldview to future generations is the result. The adoption of secular philosophies of education, age segregation, the creation of adolescence, the formation of youth ministry, the adoption of a teen subculture, and a fundamental rejection of practical aspects of the doctrine of sola Scriptura are at the heart of the problem. Warnings from Christians who wrote on this topic over the past 150 years have now become a manifest reality with devastating results. The only way to overcome this discipleship cataclysm is to go back to a biblical philosophy of education both in the home and in the church.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKChristianity is in crisis. We live in a time when millions of people profoundly misunderstand the message of the Gospel. They believe that being a Christian means little more than being a nice person. They view Jesus as a wise moral teacher who showed us how to live better lives, and they conclude that the love of humanity is our greatest cause and its progress our primary purpose. Whatever else may be said of this view of Christianity, it is certainly not what Jesus taught. It is an attempt to replace the concepts of sin, redemption, and salvation with the more socially acceptable virtues of tolerance, compassion, and social progress. It elevates humanity and the world above God and his kingdom and reduces Jesus to a mere moral philosopher. But who did Jesus say he was? What was the essential message of Christ? The Gospel According to Christ answers those questions by examining the words of Jesus, in their context and in their entirety. The answers will be shocking to many Christians.
