Church Beyond Belief
$23.95
A new approach to evangelism, particularly useful with seekers and young adults
* Addresses “belonging before believing” and other new patterns for remaking
congregations
As we move beyond the “emergent” or “missional” church paradigm, pastors and other
church leaders are discovering a new reality: people (especially younger generations)
are coming to church not as believers, but to find a place to belong-with or without
faith. This book describes the dilemma and the distractions that currently prevent
congregations from being the place where that sense of belonging can unfold and guide
newcomers in the discovery of faith.
The authors argue that despite elaborate talk of change, spirituality, transformation,
and conflict resolution, congregations are still mired in old patterns of belonging. Using
broad-based career experiences, surveys of religious life, historical precedent, and
insights from social psychology about what it means to belong today, the book suggests
new and effective approaches to help churches make vital connections.
For church leaders (lay and ordained) and seminarians across denominational lines.

Abolition Of Man
$17.99Add to cartIn this graceful work, C. S. Lewis reflects on society and nature and the challenges of how best to educate our children. He eloquently argues that we need as a society to underpin reading and writing with lessons on morality and in the process both educate and re-educate ourselves. In the words of Walter Hooper, “If someone were to come to me and say that, with the exception of the Bible, everyone on earth was going to be required to read one and the same book, and then ask what it should be, I would with no hesitation say The Abolition of Man. It is the most perfectly reasoned defense of Natural Law (Morality) I have ever seen, or believe to exist. If any book is able to save us from future excesses of folly and evil, it is this book.” This beautiful paperback edition is sure to attract new readers to this classic book.
