Evangelizacion Transformadora – (Spanish)
$10.00Add to cartBecause of the more aggressive and confrontational tactics we hear about, evangelism has developed a bad connotation. Doors are shut hurriedly, phone calls end abruptly, and e-mails left unanswered.
After all, isn’t this a task better handled by the pastor?
Perhaps it’s time to reexamine John Wesley’s model of evangelism as a full, natural circle-where it’s a communal beginning point rather than a solitary end.
The central motive of authentic evangelism is: Having received a message that’s made all the difference in our lives, we desire to share that message with others in the hope that it will transform their lives as well. Wesley models an evangelism that reaches out and welcomes, invites, and nurtures, and speaks to both head and heart.
“Evangelism is about relationship,” the authors write. “How we are in relationship to God, who is able to transform us into new beings. How we are in relationship to our neighbor, whom we must love like ourselves.”
As one reviewer says, “Knight and Powe have given us a relational book. They describe the deep connection between John Wesley’s thoughts, Charles Wesley’s hymns, scholarly thinking about evangelism and biblical understandings of the gospel-all in relation to the needs, concerns, and hopes of everyday people.”
Learn on your own or as a congregational group from this practical study on living an evangelistic life that demonstrates the transforming power of loving God and neighbor.

Jesucristo es la persona mas famosa que ha existido. La mayoria de la gente conoce Su nombre, aunque realmente no sabe quien o como era El. Si en verdad El fue un Salvador, como algunos dicen, de que forma realmente eso nos afecta hoy? Y por que nosotros deberiamos creer en El?

*Que es la verdad?
*Cual es el significado de la vida?
*Que es el amor?
*Cual es mi proposito?
*Cual es mi futuro?Muchos de nosotros buscamos algo real para nuestras vidas. Nos preguntamos si es posible tener paz, proposito y empoderamiento en un mundo que parece estar cayendose a pedazos cada dia. Las circunstancias en nuestra vida nos llevan a lidiar con preguntas basicas acerca de nuestra propia existencia, tales como “Por que estoy aqui?” Tambien hacen que nos preguntemos acerca de la existencia de un Ser Superior a quien podamos acudir en busca de ayuda.
En este libro, a medida que usted explora la vida y las extraordinarias enseanzas de Jesus, tambien sera introducido con gente contemporanea, de diversos origenes, que nos indican como y por que llegaron a creer en Jesus, y la diferencia que El esta haciendo hoy en sus vidas.

As Jesus lived and ministered on earth, He taught on topics such as:
*What is truth?
*What is the meaning of life?
*What is love?
*What is my purpose?
*What is my future?In this book, as you explore the unique life and teachings of Jesus Christ, you will also be introduced to contemporary people from various backgrounds who tell how and why they came to believe in Jesus-and the difference He is making in their lives today.

Derrotando El Espiritu Critico – (Spanish)
$8.95Add to cart“Can you believe he is wearing sandals to church?”
“I know, and did you see what she brought for potluck? Doesn’t she know better?”
“Tell me about it, and did you hear that the pastor supports the school board’s decision to hire another teacher? How ridiculous! The school doesn’t have the money!”
Sound familiar? Our church is often plagued with critical comments and a negative spirit. Instead of reaching out to those in the world, we criticize them. And if they do come to church, we are quick to point out their faults in an effort to help them “grow.” Of course, we aren’t any better with our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. We like to point out what we think other people are doing wrong. If we are to finish the work of spreading the gospel to the world, we must unite and cultivate the fruit of the Spirit. We must become like Jesus and banish our critical spirit and let the Holy Spirit develop a loving character in us.
Jim Hammer shares personal stories and insights from his own spiritual journey that has brought him Victory Over a Critical Spirit. This is a must read!
“Jim has given us a much-needed message. If we could each incorporate its principles into our lives we would bring a new peace and happiness into our families, the church, and the world.” June Strong, author of Project Sunlight and Song of Eve
“The toxic results of being judgmental are at the heart of why Christianity and its love message have not swept the world. I thank Jim for writing such a sensitive book and for his vulnerability. May God bless you and your Christian walk as you digest and grow in grace by reading this book.” Mike Ortel, president, Northern New England Conference

Accion Social – (Spanish)
$12.99Add to cartAlgunas personas ven el trabajo social de la iglesia local como el patito feo de nuestra fe; como algo que se debe hacer pero que nadie quiere hacerlo. Aun mas, hay quienes consideran que este tipo de ministerio no es necesario y que eltrabajo de ofrecer ayuda social le corresponde al gobierno y a otras agencias no gubernamentales pero nunca a la iglesia. Por estas razones, en este libro presento las bases y los fundamentos necesarios para responder a estas formas de pensar y tratar de cambiar la percepcion de que el objetivo de la iglesia es solamente espiritual, sin ninguna implicacion social.

Me Perdieron – (Spanish)
$10.99Add to cartDavid Kinnaman trains his researcher’s eye on these young believers and reveals the factors that contribute to the dropout problem. You Lost Me shows why Christians ages 18 to 29 are leaving the church and rethinking their commitment to the faith. Based on new research conducted by the Barna Group, You Lost Me exposes ways the Christian community has failed to equip young adults to live ‘in but not of’ the world–to follow Christ in the midst of profound cultural change. This wide-ranging study debunks persistent myths about young dropouts and examines the likely consequences for young adults and for the church if we maintain the status quo. The faith journeys of the next generation are a challenge to the established church, but they can also be a source of hope for the community of faith. Kinnaman, with the help of contributors from across the Christian spectrum, offers ideas for pastors, youth leaders, parents, and educators to pass on a vibrant, lasting faith, and ideas for young adults to find themselves in wholehearted pursuit of Christ.

Fundamentos Biblicos Para La I – (Spanish)
$14.95Add to cartPor que la iglesia celular? Es porque la iglesia de David Cho es una iglesia celular y sucede que es la iglesia mas grande en la historia del cristianismo? Es porque la iglesia celular es la estrategia que muchas “grandes” iglesias estan usando? La verdad es que la Biblia es el unico fundamento solido para cualquier cosa que hagamos. Sin un fundamento biblico, no tenemos un fuerte apuntalamiento en el que podamos colgar nuestro ministerio y filosofia. En Fundamentos Biblicos para la Iglesia Basada en Celulas, el Dr. Comiskey establece la base biblica para el ministerio de grupos pequenos. Comiskey primero examina la comunidad dentro de la Trinidad y la estructura familiar del grupo pequeno en el Antiguo Testamento. Luego explora como Jesus implemento la nueva familia de Dios a traves de las comunidades estrechamente unidas que encontramos en las iglesias en las casas. Comiskey luego cubre ampliamente como la iglesia primitiva se reunia en las casas, levanto liderazgos desde el interior y reunio a las iglesias en las casas para celebrar. El libro concluye exponiendo como las iglesias pueden aplicar de manera practica los principios biblicos encontrados en este libro.”

Iglesias Culturas Y Liderazgo – (Spanish)
$13.99Add to cartWhat is lacking for leadership in multicultural churches?
When Moses left Egypt he was leading a “mixed multitude.” The first followers of Jesus also soon learned that the Holy Spirit was leading them to cross the traditional boundaries that separated the diverse cultures of their time.
This book focuses above all on the churches of the United States and on the way in which these churches should remain faithful to the calling of God within their current context. We live in a nation that is culturally diverse, and almost all of our cities and our neighborhoods are witnesses of that diversity. That diversity is evident in our mass media outlets, in our shopping malls and in our schools. Even though it may be less noticeable in our churches, it is increasingly visible there as well. In this book, we want to pay more attention, looking with God’s wisdom and faithfulness at the intercultural life that is developing within each church and also at the relationships between the different churches and their neighbors.
We have all grown and developed within a historical context of prejudices and racism. We have these influences in our minds and our hearts, and often these are reflected in our actions, our decisions and our words. The authors believe that the presence of the kingdom of God on the earth, which was introduced in the life, death and resurrection of Christ, is a presence that must be characterized by a ministry of reconciliation. These things are what motivated these authors to write this book. They wanted to encourage church leaders to create an atmosphere in which the initiatives of reconciliation would become more evident within the internal life of the churches, in our missionary work, and within our neighborhoods and cities.

Mitos Y Verdades De La Iglesia – (Spanish)
$14.95Add to cartLa mayor parte del movimiento de la iglesia celular de hoy en dia es dinamico, positivo y aplicable. Como ocurre con la mayoria de los esfuerzos, los errores y las falsas suposiciones tambien surgen para destruir un movimiento que es en realidad sano.

En este libro, Joel Comiskey aborda estos errores y suposiciones falsas, ayudando a pastores y lideres a desenredar las madejas del legalismo que se han escabullido dentro del movimiento de la iglesia celular. Joel luego dirige a los lectores a aplicar principios biblicos probados a traves del tiempo, los cuales los conduciran hacia un ministerio celular fructifero. Cada capitulo inicia con un giro unico. Lideres de iglesias celulares muy reconocidos alrededor del mundo, abren cada capitulo contestando preguntas de acuerdo al tema del mismo, en forma de un dialogo por correo electronico.

Paganismo En Tu Cristianismo – (Spanish)
$12.99Add to cartHave you ever wondered why we Christians do what we do for church every Sunday morning? Why do we ‘dress up’ for church? Why does the pastor preach a sermon each week? Why do we have pews, steeples, choirs, and seminaries?

Coauthors Frank Viola and George Barna support their thesis with compelling historical evidence in the first-ever book to document the full story of modern Christian church practices.

Elim – (Spanish)
$14.95Add to cartPREFACIO POR MARIO VEGA, PASTOR GENERAL Increible! Increible! Increible! Esta era la palabra que repetia para mi mismo una y otra vez al leer por vez primera el borrador del libro “La historia de Elim” de Joel Comiskey. Lo narrado en el libro es tan fuera de lo comun que al ponerme imaginariamente en la posicion de una tercera persona imparcial lo rechazaria por considerarlo exagerado y fuertemente inclinado a favor del modelo celular.

No podria este libro de “La historia de Elim” salir a circulacion mundial sin que haya de mi parte un agradecimiento profundo por las importantes ensenanzas que el Pastor Cho ha dado a la iglesia cristiana universal no solamente sobre el modelo eclesial en el Nuevo Testamento, que conduce al crecimiento ya conocido, sino tambien sobre la fe, la oracion, la dependencia del Espiritu Santo y la humildad. Dejo en sus manos esta historia de la iglesia Elim, muy bien elaborada por el Doctor Joel Comiskey, que probablemente usted la calificara de increible. Pero verdadera, se lo aseguro.

Comunion Y Comunidad Introducc – (Spanish)
$22.99Add to cart“La vida en comunidad es lo mas esencial de la espiritualidad cristiana, y es la esencia misma del reino de Dios… La espiritualidad cristiana consiste en un nuevo modo de relacionarnos en amor, pues es precisamente esto lo que claramente distingue a la comunidad creyente de cualquier otra comunidad humana”. Al definir asi la espiritualidad cristiana, el Dr. Cassese derriba el obsoleto paradigma que intentaba buscar la perfecta relacion con Dios a traves del aislamiento, de la pura relacion personal e individual con Dios. En particular porque en realidad es en la comunidad donde la espiritualidad se realiza, se prueba, se evalua, crece y se perfecciona. Este libro, por lo tanto, nos ayudara a comprender y vivir la espiritualidad desde la vida cotidiana en comunidad, desde la inter-relacion e inter-accion con nuestros hermanos y hermanas, desde la inmersion profunda en la vida misma.
ENDOSO AL LIBRO COMUNION Y COMUNIDAD
Por Roberto Amparo Rivera, PhD
La iglesia como institucion tradicionalmente ha reflejado en la practica las tendencias y valores de la sociedad en que se desenvuelven. Por eso no es de maravillarse encontrar hoy dia creyentes individualistas y congregaciones que son mas grupos de individuos que comunidades integradas. A pesar de que el amor de Dios, que supuestamente distingue la comunidad, “no busca lo suyo”, los miembros de estas iglesias se preocupan mas de sus propios intereses que del bienestar comunitario. En este estado de cosas, el libro Comunion y comunidad, de Giacomo Cassese, es un grito de alerta y una invitacion a recobrar el sentido comunitario de la fe cristiana.
Hay una opinion generalizada de que la cultura occidental es cada vez mas espiritualista. En este contexto, la espiritualidad se mide en terminos de practicas esotericas de meditacion, ayuno, contemplacion de la naturaleza y lecturas de documentos misteriosos de religiones orientales. La contraparte cristiana percibe la espritualidad solo en su dimension vertical; “el alma en relacion con Dios”, mientras que el resto de la vida no hace ninguna aplicacion a las relaciones diarias con los semejantes.
En marcado contraste, Cassese define espiritualidad como un estilo de relacionarse y de vivir en comunidad. Para los cristianos, afirma el autor, espiritualidad conlleva vivir la vida en su plenitud y con proposito. Solo en la comunion con Cristo nos entendemos como personas de comunidad. Y es a partir de la persona de Crist

The founding pastor of Saddleback Church shares a proven five-part strategy that will enable your church to grow. . .- Warmer through fellowship – Deeper through discipleship – Stronger through worship – Broader through ministry – Larger through evangelism. Discover the same practical insights and principles for growing a healthy church that Rick has taught in seminars to over 22,000 pastors and church leaders from sixty denominations and forty-two countries. The Purpose-Driven Church(R) shifts the focus away from church building programs to emphasizing a people-building process. Warren says, “If you will concentrate on building people, God will build the church.”
