Where
In The World Is The Church: A Christian View Of Culture And
Your Role In It
By: Michael
Horton
ISBN:
978-0875525655
Has the church,
in a sense, neglected the world to the detriment of all?
Michael S. Horton has written Where in the World Is the
Church for "those Christians who struggle with a
subculture that stifles rather than encourages their
divinely given impulses and ambitions." He offers this
volume to a general audience. He does so "with the hope that
theologians will learn more about other disciplines and that
Christians in those other disciplines will anchor themselves
more firmly in biblical theology before they attempt to
'integrate' their faith and life."
Ministries
Of Mercy: The Call Of The Jericho Road
By: Timothy J.
Keller
ISBN:
978-1576834749
Some lay blame for poverty and need on oppression; others on
laziness. Pastor Keller demonstrates that the biblical
viewpoint is far more sophisticated than either extreme. He
sets forth scriptural principles for mercy ministries,
suggests practical steps to begin and persevere in active
caring, and deals perceptively with thorny issues. Balanced
and informative! Includes discussion questions.
Walking
With The Poor: Principles And Practices Of Transformational
Development
By: Bryant L. Myers
ISBN:
978-1570752759
Theology, spirituality, and social science are synthesized
in this definitive book on how Christian mission can
contribute to overcoming poverty and dismantling systematic
social evil. Myers explores Christian views of poverty, its
causes, and how it is experienced differently in different
cultures. Especially designed for use in classes or field
education, Walking With The Poor contains a unique
series of charts and can be made into overheads and well as
a bibliography and a scriptural index.
Freedom,
Justice, And Hope: Toward A Strategy For The Poor And The
Oppressed
By: Marvin Olasky
ISBN:
978-0891074786
Freedom, Justice, and Hope seeks to present the
Biblical worldview and essential principles for effective
work in relief and development. It exposes the tragic
failure of "Liberation Theology," social engineering, and
utopian ideology. But beyond this, it points to practical
solutions that will change lives and cultures at the deepest
level--through the transforming power of the gospel--and
give practical assistance to those in need.
Rich
Christians In An Age Of Hunger: Moving From Affluence To
Generosity
By: Ronald Sider
ISBN:
978-0849945304
Why is there
still so much poverty? Conservatives blame sinful individual
choices and laziness. Liberals condemn economic and social
structures. Who is right? Who is wrong? Both, according to
Ronald Sider, who explains poverty's complex causes in this
new edition and offers concrete, practical proposals for
change.
Under
The Overpass: A Journey Of Faith On The Streets Of America
By: Mike Yankoski
ISBN:
978-1590524022
Mike Yankoski's
life went from upper-middle class plush to scum-of-the-earth
repulsive overnight by his own choice. From the United
States capital to San Diego, Yankoski and his traveling
companion, Sam, journeyed as homeless men for five months.
Not for a project or even in response to a dare. He needed
to know if his faith in God was real—if he could actually be
the Christian he said he was apart from the comforts he'd
always known. So, with only a bag on his back, a guitar in
his hand, and Sam by his side, he set out. And like any
traveler in a foreign land, he returned a different man.
Yankoski's unusual, captivating, and challenging story will
rock your own world...perhaps even change your life.
