"C'è un taglio profondo, una lacerazione che attraversa la Chiesa, una ferita aperta e sanguinante. È la ferita degli abusi, quella perversione che trasforma chi dovrebbe essere pastore in predatore, chi dovrebbe proteggere in carnefice. Questa ferita ha molti nomi: abuso di potere, manipolazione spirituale, violenza psicologica, sfruttamento, abuso sessuale. Si nasconde dietro le mura dei conventi, si maschera di sacralità, usa il linguaggio della fede per legittimare una violenza inaccettabile.

Your opportunity to stay in ministry and be effective is in direct proportion to several significant attitudes and actions. I am sure this list is not exhaustive but does reflect what we have observed. In writing this book we are not setting ourselves up as any sort of experts in ministry. In fact quite the opposite. Much of what we share here are lessons we've learned from our own mistakes. After 40+ years of local ministry each, we wanted to reveal a few things that we have observed and experienced that have helped us and others to have any degree of effectiveness.

Racism is not about hate and ignorance. It's about greed. And it always has been. Black Christian historian Malcolm Foley explores this idea in The Anti-Greed Gospel, showing how the desire for power and money—what some call "racial capitalism"—causes violence and exploitation. Foley reviews the history of racial violence in the United States and connects the killings of modern-day Black Americans to the history of lynching in America.

This small book has two main themes. The first is the argument that Scripture requires ministers in the church to be men - that is, they must be male. The second theme addresses the reason why this has become an issue at all (when the texts are so plain) and will argue that ministers in the Christian church must be more than male - that is, they must be vertebrates. The ministry calls for men in both senses of that word.

Studies find that the most frequent reason for rejecting Christianity is that people could not get answers to their doubts. Finding Truth unpacks strategic principles that penetrate to the core of any perspective, to uncover its deepest motivations and weigh its claims.

Church planting and revitalization is a unique ministry. Filled with its own challenges, pastors and church leaders have often struggled in their labors.

We live in a season when church attendance is still building back to what it was before the pandemic. Many Christians have been separated from their church communities. How do we resume and re-prioritize church life and join back together? Why do we even need to—especially when online church fits so neatly around our schedules? Gathered for Good addresses this felt need with empathy and authority and encourage believers to commit to their local church community as a way to deepen their spiritual growth and invest in treasure that will last.

The earliest Christians believed Jesus was an ancient celestial being who put on a bodysuit of flesh, died at the hands of dark forces, and then rose from the dead and ascended back into the heavens. But the writing we have today from that first generation of Christians never says where they thought he landed, where he lived, or where he died. The idea that Jesus toured Galilee and visited Jerusalem arose only a lifetime later, in unsourced legends written in a foreign land and language. Many sources repeat those legends, but none corroborate them.

We live in a world where the idea of being glorified is either viewed through the lens of something that will eventually come, but has little importance now, or has an overfocused importance where believers only focus on their entry into heaven. Both are wrongfooted. Pastor and Theologian Jason Alligood communicates the hope of glory that transcends the fears and frustrations of a secular age that not only points to the hope for the future glorification, but that this hope is one that can be enjoyed and appreciated today.
