Lenny Duncan is the unlikeliest of pastors. Formerly incarcerated, he is now a black preacher in the whitest denomination in the United States: the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). Shifting demographics and shrinking congregations make all the headlines, but Duncan sees something else at work--drawing a direct line between the church's lack of diversity and the church's lack of vitality. The problems the ELCA faces are theological, not sociological. But so are the answers. Part manifesto, part confession, and all love letter, Dear Church offers a bold new vision for the future of Duncan's denomination and the broader mainline Christian community of faith. Dear Church rejects the narrative of church decline and calls everyone--leaders and laity alike--to the front lines of the churchÂs renewal through racial equality and justice. It is time for the church to rise up, dust itself off, and take on forces of this world that act against God: whiteness, misogyny, nationalism, homophobia, and economic injustice. Duncan gives a blueprint for the way forward and urges us to follow in the revolutionary path of Jesus.

Dear Church is the authoras belief that Proverb 31: 10-31, The Excellent Wife or Virtuous Woman, is in fact the Bride of Christ, His church. It is His call to excellence and was meant for such a time as now, to ready her for His coming. It is her belief that the proverb was not just a wise saying but a prophecy for today. The author has taken the verses of the proverb as a guide to what the Bride of our Lord should be, especially for this generation. It is a message to the Body of Christ to come together under His headship as one body, one spirit, and one mindaHis.

"Remember what you have been taught and have heard. Hold firmly to it. Turn away from your sins. If you don't wake up, I will come like a thief. You won't know when I will come to you." Revelation 3:3Dear Church - Wake up!! The midnight hour for believers in Jesus Christ is almost here! A lot of the Christian Church today appears asleep and all comfy cosy. But a time is coming when they will need to be the people that God has truly called them to be... Paul when writing to his young friend Timothy described people in the last days as lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God- having a form of godliness but denying its power.The issues we look at inside certainly covers that description by the Apostle Paul. Inside we will look at issues for the modern Christian. Issues which signify the parts of the Church which are currently asleep and need to be woken from their slumber. Are you ready? Are you aware of any of them in the life of the Church, including yourself?For instance, what is your relationship with your Government? What should your attitude and relationship with them be like?The 12 issues we look at together are: Chocolate Church; Government; Guidance; Individualism; Materialism; Radical Church; Self Interest; Standing Alone; Times of Trouble; Universalism; Words; Worship

You've tried different worship styles, maybe even different congregations. Perhaps you've tried repeatedly to pray through your attitudes toward the church, but you can't seem to get past the feelings of sadness as you see the Church limp along, appearing broken in a sense. Each day that passes more and more people are living lost, with no sense of hope or purpose. The Church is God's plan for redeeming mankind and extending His hope. He's called us to partner with Him. As followers of Christ, those who make up congregations week after week, we were created for more. Free from the burden of legalism, we can learn to love more, surrender personal preferences, embrace our individual roles within God's Church. A love letter written to those who warm the pews week in and week out, designed to remind us we were created for more. Thirty days of devotional readings designed to challenge the committed Christian to become proactive in sharing their faith, reach for more in their relationship with God, and understand His/her role within God's greater story. Want to change the direction of your church? Do something different.

The stories of LGBT+ Christians are not untold, but have often been unheard by faith leaders and communities. While so much of the conversation about LGBT+ inclusion has focused on theology and ideology, few have actually interacted with the raw, real stories and experiences of LGBT+ Christians. In this volume, LGBT+ Christian activist and theologian Brandan Robertson has brought together stories of LGBT+ Christians from around the world combined with his theological insights to create a powerful book that will challenge, convict, and inspire readers from all theological backgrounds to examine their posture and message toward the LGBT+ community and embrace the revival that the Holy Spirit is igniting among queer Christians around the world.
