Funding Ministry with Five Loaves and Two Fishes
by Rosario PicardoClergy are trained to preach, teach, and lead a congregation in spiritual matters. However, there is very little training for clergy when it comes to the "business" matters of the church-finances, debt reduction, fundraising, and building maintenance. The added and sometimes unexpected load for clergy can become cumbersome and extremely stressful. In addition, the decline of the church and the passing of key funders of churches leave many pastors with dying churches and few resources to do anything about it.Author Rosario Picardo has been in this very position. As a pastor, Picardo launched a church in a movie theater with no people and very little financial support. He also revitalized a dying congregation in a deteriorating physical structure. Through trials and failures, innovation and entrepreneurial thinking, God provided, and Picardo learned new ways for reaching the least and lost, and for growing disciples. In Funding Ministry with Five Loaves and Two Fish, Picardo shares the lessons he’s learned with confidence that other leaders can do the same. He demonstrates how, step by faithful step.

Funny, You Don't Look Funny: Judaism and Humor from the Silent Generation to Millennials
by Jennifer CaplanIn this comprehensive approach to Jewish humor focused on the relationship between humor and American Jewish practice, Jennifer Caplan calls us to adopt a more expansive view of what it means to "do Jewish," revealing that American Jews have, and continue to, turn to humor as a cultural touchstone. Caplan frames the book around four generations of Jewish Americans from the Silent Generation to Millennials, highlighting a shift from the utilization of Jewish-specific markers to American-specific markers. Jewish humor operates as a system of meaning-making for many Jewish Americans. By mapping humor onto both the generational identity of those making it and the use of Judaism within it, new insights about the development of American Judaism emerge. Caplan’s explication is innovative and insightful, engaging with scholarly discourse across Jewish studies and Jewish American history; it includes the work of Joseph Heller, Larry David, Woody Allen, Seinfeld, the Coen brothers films, and Broad City. This example of well-informed scholarship begins with an explanation of what makes Jewish humor Jewish and why Jewish humor is such a visible phenomenon. Offering ample evidence and examples along the way, Caplan guides readers through a series of phenomenological and ideological changes across generations, concluding with commentary regarding the potential influences on Jewish humor of later Millennials, Gen Z, and beyond.
Furious Pursuit: Why God Will Never Let You Go
by Tim King Frank MartinYou're not defined by what you've done. You're defined by Who pursues you. What if you could believe that God not only chases you, but has yet to leave your side for a second, has yet to go a minute without courting you, whispering in your heart,I'm right here? What if you could believe that God is never distant, never out of reach, never indifferent to what's going on in your life? Would that make a difference in your relationship with him?

He is just as near, and just as vigilant in his pursuit, regardless of your dedication to the spiritual disciplines, and in spite of your struggle with sin. Because of his nature, it is impossible for Godnotto pursue you.

Furthering Humanity: A Theology of Culture
by T.J. GorringeHow should we reflect theologically about culture? Tim Gorringe presents a threefold, and interrelated, reflection organised around culture, power and mission. First, Gorringe interrogates culture through contemporary cultural studies but also through the contribution of the great eighteenth century theologian, J.G. Herder. He concludes by considering the question of cultural imperialism. Secondly, Gorringe asks where power is located in culture, and how the church relates to that, arguing that the central theses of liberation theology are far from dead. The third part turns to questions of mission, asking whether this is morally feasible in a culturally pluralist world and considering the implications of Samuel Huntington's notorious thesis of the 'clash of civilizations'. Gorringe argues that mission is in fact a vital part of a respectful multicultural society.

Future Faith: Public and Practical Theologies for the Contemporary World (Explorations in Practical, Pastoral and Empirical Theology)
by Graeme Smith Andrew ToddFuture Faith: Public and Practical Theologies for the Contemporary World explores what is needed for theology to survive and thrive in the next generation. As well as declining student numbers and pressures on university theology departments, churches are increasingly questioning the value of theological study.The volume addresses the need for innovative responses to this crisis, which re-evaluate the place of theological study in the ecclesial, academic, social and cultural landscape. Focusing on the UK, it brings together leading scholars in public and practical theology from the academy and the churches. Contributors engage in particular with the insights and work of Professor Stephen Pattison. It is argued that the future of contemporary theology lies in its ability to contribute to modern life in practical and public ways. If theology is to have a future, it must be relevant in the workplace, in public institutions and in public life. The chapters consider the methodological innovations required for theology to have such a future and investigate specific examples of the practical expressions of a future theology in some important contemporary settings. Public theology, professional life and chaplaincy are the three key areas in which the outward-facing nature of theological reflection is explored and developed.Future Faith will be of particular interest to scholars and students working in these spheres.
Future Grace
by John PiperIn Future Grace, author John Piper helps readers discover the key to overcoming sin and living a life that honors God. Many men and women attempt to walk upright out of gratitude for what Christ did in the past, but Piper encourages believers to look ahead to the grace God provides for us on a day-by-day, moment-by-moment basis-putting faith into action by laying hold of God's promises for the challenges we face. Sever the Root of Sin No one sins out of duty. We sin because wewantto. Sin promises happiness, and we buy the lie. So how can the root of sin be severed in our lives? Thepenaltyof sin must be paid by the righteous blood of Christ. And thepowerof sin must be broken by banking on the promises of Christ. John Piper's meditations are rooted in rock-solid biblical reflection. Chapter by chapter-one for each day of the month-he reveals how, by cherishing the promises of God, you can break the power of anxiety, despondency, covetousness, lust, bitterness, impatience, pride, misplaced shame, and more.
