Created for Community: Connecting Christian Belief with Christian Living

Author/Artist: 
Stanley J. Grenz & Leighton Ford

This book is on the suggested reading list from Vineyard USA for Church Adoptions

Contrary to what certain Christians suggest, there are no 'simple believers' who remain 'untainted' by theology. . . . Each of us is a theologian, just as God intended. Consequently, the question is not 'will we be theologians?' but 'will we be good theologians?'" So writes Stan Grenz in this introductory systematic theology text.

Author/Artist: 
William T "Bill" Faris

Homegrown is the true story of how a conventional local Vineyard church "went house church" in a bold quest to re-engage their mission, simplify their structure, and fully involve their members. Along the way, these believers begin to learn a whole new way of being the church at the neighborhood level. The result is an exciting new mission to "empower everyday people to take the ministry of Jesus to everyday places".


  

The 4/14 Window [Book]

sku:

Author/Artist: 
Luis Bush

A BookSource Selection. (Shipping to enrollees mid December 2011)

About the Book:

Essential. Critical. Revolutionary. Be prepared for Christian missions strategist Luis Bush to change the way you think about missions forever. Twenty years ago, Bush introduced the concept of the 10/40 Window (an area between 10 degrees and 40 degrees latitude where the gospel is least present) and radically altered the landscape of missions. Now, Bush is urging Christians to re-prioritize and redirect their energies at the youth of nations. A great opportunity exists to develop and mobilize a new generation of Christ followers, especially those between the ages of 4 to 14; This is the 4/14 Window.

I love this book!! I believe that God is moving all across the world
today, placing his heart for kids inside his followers. This book
helps us understand how and why kids can make a transformational
impact in their world today. It doesn't let us forget how important it
is that we share Jesus with kids while the soil of their hearts is
most receptive.
