The One Leader Guide: Reaching the Lost with the Love of Christ (The One)
by Jennifer Cowart Jim CowartWho is "the One" in your life who needs to know God's love? The One, a study of Luke 15 by Jim and Jennifer Cowart will help you discover your "One". As believers, we are called to share the love and message of Christ with those who don’t know him. We mean to share Christ, we really do. But then we get busy with other things—even as the church! But what if a subtle shift in focus could reignite a passion within you and your church for reaching the lost? What if instead of trying to reach “them” you began to focus on simply reaching “the One”—that person in your life who is far from God and needs to know his love? This study explores Luke 15, where Jesus tells three stories about rejoicing when lost things are found—specifically, a lost sheep, a lost coin, and two lost sons. First, we will discover that we are “the One” who is dearly loved and sought after by God, and then we will join together in Jesus’s mission to seek after “the One” in our own lives with intentionality, perseverance, and joy. This study is not about taking people on as a project—no one wants that. It’s about rediscovering the heart of God and his passion for going after those who are far from him. Components for this study, each available separately, include a participant book, leader guide, and video sessions/DVD. The Leader Guide contains everything needed to guide a group through the four-week study including session plans, activities, and discussion questions, as well as multiple format options. In addition, a free digital download includes information for incorporating The One as a church campaign, sermon starters, and more.

One Less God Than You: How To Answer The Slogans, Cliches, And Fallacies That Atheists Use To Challenge Your Faith

Whether on Twitter, in a college quad, or at the dinner table with a freshman philosophy major, you're probably familiar with the litany of slogans that religious skeptics employ in an attempt to rescue you from the foolish belief that God exists. Even our public schools and mainstream media often can't help but parrot the memes that seem to leave thinking people with no alternative but to embrace atheism. How can a Christian respond? In One Less God Than You, John DeRosa breaks down twenty of the most common atheist challenges, exposes their logical weaknesses, and shows you how to craft effective answers. Atheism is more aggressive and widespread than ever before, so believers have a crucial task. Read One Less God Than You and respond with the joyful truth that God is real.

one long listening: a memoir of grief, friendship, and spiritual care
by Chenxing HanFor readers of The Wild Edge of Sorrow and Crying in H-Mart--a profound and searching memoir of life, loss, grief, and renewal from one of American Buddhism&’s most vital new voices. How do we grieve our losses? How can we care for our spirits? one long listening offers enduring companionship to all who ask these searing, timeless questions.Immigrant daughter, novice chaplain, bereaved friend: author Chenxing Han (Be the Refuge) takes us on a pilgrimage through the wilds of grief and laughter, pain and impermanence, reconnecting us to both the heartache and inexplicable brightness of being human.Eddying around three autumns of Han&’s life, one long listening journeys from a mountaintop monastery in Taiwan to West Coast oncology wards, from oceanside Ireland to riverfront Phnom Penh. Through letters to a dying friend, bedside chaplaincy visits, and memories of a migratory childhood, Han's startling, searching memoir cuts a singular portrait of a spiritual caregiver in training.Just as we touch the depths, bracing for resolution, Han&’s swift, multilingual prose sweeps us back to unknowingness: 不知最親切. Not knowing is most intimate. Chinese mothers, hillside graves. A dreamed olive tree, a lost Siberian crane. The music of scripts and silence. These shards--bright, broken, giddy, aching--are mirrors to our own lives in joy and sorrow.A testament to enduring connection by a fresh and urgent new literary voice, one long listening asks fearlessly into the stories we inhabit, the hopes we relinquish, and what it means simply to be, to and for the ones we love.

One Lost Soul: Richard Nixon's Search for Salvation (Library of Religious Biography (LRB))
by Daniel SillimanImpious and amoral, petty and vindictive, Richard Nixon is not the typical protagonist of a religious biography. But spiritual drama is at the heart of this former president&’s tragic story. The night before his resignation, Richard Nixon wept—and prayed. Though his demanding parents had raised him Quaker, he wasn&’t a regular churchgoer, nor was he quick to express vulnerability. As Henry Kissinger witnessed Nixon&’s loneliness and humiliation that night, he remarked, &“Can you imagine what this man would have been had somebody loved him?&” In this provocative and riveting biography, Daniel Silliman cuts to the heart of Nixon&’s tragedy: Nixon wanted to be loved by God but couldn&’t figure out how. This profound theological struggle underlay his successes and scandals, his turbulent political career, his history-changing victories, and his ultimate disgrace. As Silliman narrates the arc of his subject&’s life and career, he connects Nixon&’s character to religious influences in twentieth-century America—from Cold War Christianity to Chick tracts. Silliman paints a nuanced spiritual portrait of the thirty-seventh president, just as he offers fresh insight into US political and religious history. Readers who lived through Watergate will discover a new perspective on an infamous controversy. A historical page-turner, One Lost Soul will surprise and absorb students, scholars, and anyone who likes a good story.
