While God certainly cares for your deepest needs, Skye Jethani wants you to know that prayer is so much more than a two-way transaction with a heavenly vending machine. Jesus didn’t pray like that.

Church-reform advocate and Bible scholar Peter DeHaan, PhD, is a strong proponent of meaningful Christian community. In Jesus’s Broken Church, he uses Scripture to guide us into right practices and away from the off-track customs that most every church adheres to.

Imagine local churches filled with people from all cultures, generations, hues, and backgrounds - each one a true cross-section of its own neighborhood or city demographics. Imagine these churches enjoying rich fellowship internally, providing substantive ministry externally, and attracting a not-yet-believing world to the promise of the gospel. That would be a church like heaven on Earth. And Beard believes any local congregation can attain this. This audiobook provides theology, story, and practical insights for how your church can be that kind of remarkable.

Uncovering the Myth of Spiritual Covering is adapted from a chapter of the widely disseminated book, Charismatic Captivation - Authoritarian Abuse & Psychological Enslavement in Neo-Pentecostal Churches. That book exposes the widespread problem of authoritarian abuse that has been flourishing virtually unabated for decades since it was first infused into the very fabric, foundation, and functions of the Charismatic/Neo-Pentecostal church during the false movement known as the Discipleship/Shepherding Movement (1970-77).

History amply demonstrates that the truths of Paul's message cannot be overstated or repeated too often. The appalling, centuries-long failure to stop false teachers from invading churches can be traced directly back to ignorance of or disobedience to Paul's prophetic warnings to the Ephesian elders. Paul's instructions and pleas to the Ephesian elders are just as critically needed today as they were that day on the shores of Miletus.

The subject of the book of Ephesians is the church. There are seven aspects of the church revealed in Ephesians. The church is the Body, the new man, the kingdom, the family, the dwelling place, the bride, and the warrior.

The subject of Philippians is the experience of Christ. Concerning the experience of Christ, each chapter of Philippians covers a major point. First, in chapter one, we have the magnification of Christ. No matter what the circumstances are in which we find ourselves, we need to express Christ in such a way that we magnify him. In chapter two, Paul presents Christ as our pattern.

Many Christians are alarmed by the decline in church attendance and seek a culprit. Too often, we point the finger away from the church, make culture the enemy, and build walls between us and others.

Being miraculously normal is reflected in a being who is loving, caring, forgiving, enduring, and living in this present world. This book is the third in this series forming a trilogy and expounds on the Lord’s prayer in John 17 for all his people to become one - as one as the father and the son are one. In his prayer, he gave three gifts to accomplish the oneness of his people: eternal life, truth and his glory. When previously divided, even hostile people can become one in this present conflicting and confusing age.

What is the way forward for the church?

The Multipynaz series of books are designed to help fuel the movement of God through the people of God. This first book was written with a team of 60+ Nazarene leaders participating. It celebrates how God is increasing the Nazarene commitment to multiply, the foundations for how the movement has grown to over 30,000 churches globally, the main message of holy love, the focus on “outsiders”, why Nazarenes practice interdependence, steps to building a contagious church culture and more.

Our world has been torn asunder by racial, ethnic, and ideological differences. It is seen in our politics, felt in our families, and ingrained in our theology. Sadly, the church has often reinforced these ethnic and racial divides. To cast off the ugliness of disunity and heal our fractured humanity, we must cultivate spiritual practices that help us pursue beautiful community. In The Beautiful Community, pastor and theologian Irwyn Ince boldly unpacks the reasons for our divisions while gently guiding us toward our true hope for wholeness and reconciliation.

This vision of and invitation to the work of global missions challenges Christians everywhere to cultivate a holy ambition to preach Christ where he has not yet been named.
