  Church History In Plain Language

  $39.99

  Over 330,000 copies sold. This is the story of the church for today’s readers.

  Bruce Shelley’s classic history of the church brings the story of global Christianity into the twenty-first century. Like a skilled screenwriter, Shelley begins each chapter with three elements: characters, setting, plot. Taking readers from the early centuries of the church up through the modern era he tells his readers a story of actual people, in a particular situation, taking action or being acted upon, provides a window into the circumstances and historical context, and from there develops the story of a major period or theme of Christian history. Covering recent events, this book also:
  *Details the rapid growth of evangelical and Pentecostal Christianity in the southern hemisphere

  *Addresses the decline in traditional mainline denominations

  *Examines the influence of technology on the spread of the gospel

  *Discusses how Christianity intersects with other religions in countries all over the world

  For this fifth edition, Marshall Shelley brought together a team of historians, historical theologians, and editors to revise and update this father’s classic text. The new edition adds important stories of the development of Christianity in Asia, India, and Africa, both in the early church as well as in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It also highlights the stories of women and non-Europeans who significantly influenced the development of Christianity but whose contributions are often overlooked in previous overviews of church history.

  This concise book provides an easy-to-read guide to church history with intellectual substance. The new edition of Church History in Plain Language promises to set a new standard for readable church history.

  Be Like Jesus Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)

  $13.99

  In this eight-session video Bible study (DVD/digital downloads sold separately), pastor and author Randy Frazee explains that our spiritual transformation involves not only thinking and acting like Jesus but also allowing those thoughts and behaviors to shape our attitudes. As we do this, we experience a new way of looking at the world and discover an inner strength that allows us to remain steadfast, secure, and solid in the face of any circumstance. We also discover a new desire to serve others . . . which, in turn, draws them to the love of Christ. We know we are becoming like Jesus when we possess these attributes:

  *I have a deep love for God and for the other people in my life.
  *I have inner contentment in spite of my circumstances and understand my purpose in life.
  *I have freedom from anxiety because I am at peace with God, others, and myself.
  *I have experienced the power, through Christ, to control my thoughts and behaviors.
  *I have patience in the unavoidable pressures of life and am slow to anger.
  *I have the desire to be kind and good in my relationships with others.
  *I have established a good name with God and others based on my loyalty to those relationships.
  *I have become thoughtful, considerate, and calm in my dealings with others.

  Grounded in carefully selected scripture, Be Like Jesus is a churchwide discipleship program that will take you on a journey to become more like Jesus in your behaviors. This revised study, adapted from Part 3 of the Believe churchwide study, includes an updated video study and new content and questions adapted from the existing Believe Study Guide and Think, Act, Be Like Jesus by Randy Frazee.
