Dan Montgomery invites you to step through the first page of the book and walk with him to the top of a mountain peak. There you talk heart to heart while sharing your favorite drink. This imaginary journey begins a dialogue about the difficulties of being human and how faith in God infuses your life with guidance and companionship. Theologian Gabriel Fackre writes: "Christian teaching about the Trinity becomes up close and personal in this engaging work by a wise counselor. Here is enriching daily guidance from compass therapy for our pilgrimage with the triune God." GUIDEPOSTS Roving Editor Elizabeth Sherrill writes, “I’ve waited a long time for a book like this! Like a caring counselor in private session, Dan Montgomery writes to anyone who thinks being a Christian means conforming to someone else’s pattern. To anyone who believes his current situation is hopeless. To anyone seeking a more intimate walk with Father, Son and Holy Spirit.â€

Forty-year-old Nikolis McQuaige—called NikkiMac—is a teacher in Trenton, New Jersey, and is smart, quick, and loyal to her friends. She’s also single and struggles to be a good Christian. She thinks of herself as a work in progress, and God has been helping her make improvements in various areas of her life—such as in her choice of men. But men aren’t the only thing on NikkiMac’s mind. There’s her best friend, Jacee, and a new friend, Anna Maria. There’s her friend Cletus, who’s trying hard to stay on the wagon and do right by the twins he finds out are his biological children. And then there’s Sister Chloe, a new member of the church, who is cool—almost downright rude—to NikkiMac for reasons NikkiMac can’t fathom. She even finds time to think of the new, eligible assistant preacher named Adam Greene. By turns humorous and poignant, Beyond Church Doors invites us into NikkiMac’s world of urban grittiness and sass, where being a Christian means asking forgiveness when her anger at another woman leads to near tragedy. It means not giving up on asking friends to church. It means being willing to don a bright orange lifeguard outfit and whistle to stand by the baptistery so that a churchgoer, terrified of drowning, can let herself be baptized. NikkiMac doesn’t practice Sunday-morning-only Christianity, but lives her faith in the community 24-7 with a refreshing candor. “Author Sylvia Brown-Roberts ... reunites us with her vivid characters as they seek to translate their faith into Godly behavior. ... An inspirational novel.” —Dr. Michael A. Brown, author of In Search of the Narrow Way

Have you ever wanted something more from your faith? More than religion? More than church? One lost and forgotten biblical word, "ekklesia," holds the key to a more vibrant and life-changing Christianity. --Modern English language Bibles quote Jesus as saying, "I will build My church." However, the earliest Bibles have Jesus saying, "I will build my ekklesia." For hundreds of years, this Bible word-switch has misdirected the way the body of Christ meets for worship. --So what does ekklesia mean? Ekklesia was the name of the city council in ancient Greek city-states. It was a democratic, interactive, participatory body of equal citizens sharing their concerns and needs with one another. --In the Western world, traditional church is in decline. Religious categories now include millions who are "Dones" (done with church) and "Nones" (have no church affiliation). --Perhaps it is time for more than church. Steve Simms invites you to go "beyond church" and experience ekklesia, HEAVEN's CITY COUNCIL, not as a theological concept, but as a practical and living reality.

The church today is in many places “on the nose.” For many people, it stinks. It has passed its “use-by” date and should be relegated to the dustbins of history, and the sooner, the better. Nevertheless, the contributors to this volume believe that the church, in spite of its somewhat checkered history and its many present failures, remains an integral part of God’s redemptive purposes being worked out in the world, and that God’s call to the church is now what it has always been: to be the faithful people of God, bearing joy-filled witness to the resurrection of Jesus Christ in word, worship, and work, in its corporate life, and in the lives of each of its members. Each chapter in this book explores an aspect of what it means to be the church, both with respect to its own life, and with an eye to its presence and mission in the world.

We all want to be happy. For many, that includes a loving relationship with someone. Fortunate ones find that person. Those even more fortunate have friends who want the best for them, too. Behind and Beyond Church Doors: Promises, the third of author Sylvia Brown-Roberts’s Church Doors series, tells us the story of Nikolis McQuaige—called NikkiMac—a teacher in Trenton, New Jersey. She’s a single woman in her early forties. NikkiMac has been a faithful member of a local church congregation for several years. Her blossoming relationship with assistant minister Adam Greene brightens her days. For the first time in her life, she’s dating a man according to God’s boundaries. NikkiMac wonders if marriage is in their future or if some dark issues from the past or present conflicts will stand in their way? Can any relationship withstand her best friend Jacee’s need to compete for NikkiMac’s attention with a new friend or Sister Chloe’s attempt to destroy her reputation in the church? Or the threat from a dangerous character from her childhood who forces his way back into NikkiMac’s life? In Behind and Beyond Church Doors: Promises, NikkiMac’s gritty urban community and the local congregation hum with joy and obstacles, but through it all, she relies on God’s grace to love, care for, and forgive others. It’s a lesson we all should learn.

Mark Olson believes that trying to meet unrealistic expectations for church growth, along with expectations that pastors be all things to all people, has resulted in low morale, even burnout, among clergy and dissension within congregations. Olson's book argues that church-growth models exemplify and exacerbate the tendencies of the modern age and Constantinian Christianity, holding the church hostage to technique and marketing. These assumptions set up pastors and churches for disappointment and failure. But they also, in his opinion, miss an opportunity to envision a faithful alternative to the consumeristic church. Olson's valuable book calls church leaders to faithful, bold, and courageous rethinking of congregational life and witness in substance, purpose, and style. His own 20 years of ministry in rural, suburban, and urban congregations inform an alternative rooted deeply in the past and anchored in strong leadership and worship, but also profoundly compassionate and engaged in the surrounding community. In this model, pastors' primary responsibilities are not to fix everything and everybody but to enable people to be present to each other and to provide hope. Copyright © Libri GmbH.

Pastoral care has been traditionally understood as pastoral acts administered to individuals or small groups by an ordained or lay religious practitioner. As congregations in the twenty-first century begin to reclaim the missional nature of church, this view must be broadened to include care and concern for the needs of the larger community. A missional perspective of pastoral care embraces the notion that all of Gods peoplenot just trained professionalsare called to partner in the healing and redemption of the world. In Beyond Church Walls, Rick Rouse sets out to articulate precisely what such an approach to pastoral care looks likeand the substantial impact it can have on congregations and communities. A skilled teacher and pastor with deep experience in real communities, Rouse leads readers through the changing realities of the twenty-first century and to new ways for missional churches to succeed in offering pastoral care for the whole community.
