Soul-Shaping Small Groups

Soul-Shaping Small Groups

Small group expert Mark Howell says the concept for the book comes from Kim Engelmann's own experience while serving as the head of the Care Ministries Department at Menlo Park Presbyterian Church (John Ortberg). Wrestling with the findings of Reveal, the study by Willow Creek Community Church that found that once a person moves beyond Growing in Christ (the second stage) small groups become far less important, Engelmann asks the question: "Are small groups the problem? Or is it the way we do small groups that is the problem?"

She believes it's the way we're doing groups. Her response is compelling. The first half of the book takes you through her journey and the second half gets very practical with exercises you can help your groups put into practice. This is a book you should be reading. First for yourself. Then for your leaders and coaches.

Kingdom Life

Kingdom Life: A Practical Theology of
Discipleship and Spiritual Formation

This book which is a collaborative effort of some best in the field which reads like a list of who's who in spiritual formation and discipleship: Dallas Willard, Bill Thrall, Bruce McNicol, Keith Andrews, Bill Hull, Keith Meyer, Peggy Reynoso, Paula Fuller, Bruce Demarest, Michael Glerup, Christopher Morton, Richard Averbeck and Alan Andrews.

The Kingdom Life is for teachers, pastors, and lay leaders but also for every serious Christian seeking a more integrated approach to spiritual formation. This book has both a theological foundation and a "process" aspect in which the key principles are exhibited in practice.

book AND: The Gathered and Scattered Church

Many have found Hugh Halter and Matt Smay's "The Tangible Kingdom" extremely inspiring and practical. Their new book aims to bridge the gap between 'attractional' forms of church (they seem to be thinking about mega-churches in particular) and "incarnational/organic/simple" church structures. Rather than it being an either/or choice, the authors argue that both aspects of gathered church and scattered church are essential to our mission and mandate.

book Will This Rock In Rio?

In the mid-1960s, Navigators Ken Lottis and Jim Petersen settled in the Brazilian university city of Curitiba to launch a ministry among students. Facing overwhelming obstacles but emboldened by biblical promises, they prayed that God would open doors of friendship. Ken and Jim mapped out new paths for nonreligious people to find their way into the kingdom of God. The lessons they learned proved cross-culturally transferable around the world and reason for writing this book. Anyone interested in reaching a city with the gospel can benefit from these remarkable stories and lessons.
"I loved every page of Ken's book. What Ken does for us in this masterful narrative is focus the reader on what should matter most to us: people and the Kingdom of God! One senses the values Ken, his family, and the Petersens placed on the people they were sent to work among. These were not projects or objects but rather people to love and invest their very lives in." —Luch Del Monte
