Book excerpt: We see it all around us: Poverty. Unemployment. Crime. Hopelessness. Anger. Disenchantment. Injustice. We want to help. We want to do something. But what? Good intentions are good, but often our efforts at helping others can actually make things worse. And in many communities the church is viewed with suspicion, if not downright hostility. So how can churches effectively serve the needs of their communities in ways that communicate the love and grace of God? According to author Laurie Beshore, churches need to step up and take action, but it all begins by learning. You must get to know the people in your community and establish relationships built on mutual trust and respect. This ebook recounts the compelling twenty-five year story of how Mariner’s Church, a growing mega-church in Irvine, CA, began reaching out to their community and how they made more than their fair share of mistakes along the way. But these hard-earned lessons are now of immense value to a new generation of church leaders trying to serve their own communities that are skeptical, if not understandably suspicious, of the intentions of the 21st century church. Laced with ultra-practical teachings and transferable principles for churches and ministries of all sizes and styles, this is a book filled with potent lessons and powerful stories both heartbreaking and inspiring.

Book excerpt: The decline of the traditional church in the West has met with the emergence of new ways of being the people of God. One of these is the phenomenal growth of cell churches -- small groups of committed Christians meeting in homes and spawning new cells with enthusiasm. Whilst the cell church movement is still small in most Western countries, it is likely to become a major player in the church of the future. In countries like China, Singapore and Malaysia it is the most popular vehicle for their extraordinary explosion of Christianity. Church Without Walls: A Global Examination of Cell Church brings together a number of scholars and church leaders from across the world to examine and critique the natures, values and growth of the cell church movement.

Book excerpt: "Is this not the fast that I have chosen.?" How often have you read this scripture from Isaiah 58:6? It doesn't stop at the giving of food or "bringing the homeless poor into the house." It's about YOU being a vessel of God's anointing - that anointing, which breaks every yoke and sets every captive free, being released through you. The real cry of Isaiah 58 is for everyone to be a bridge into the hearts of those in need. Church, are you ready to obey God's Mandate to get outside your four walls and be that body of love and power to a mass of humanity that is in desperate need of a shepherd ? to experience the Jesus of Nazareth who, some 2,000 years ago on the Judean Hillside, told His disciples, "FEED MY PEOPLE"? Don't just read this book ? study it! It opens up God's heart! John L. Dammarell, Ph.D., is Executive Director of Liberty Road Foundation, a public charity formed in August 2007 to serve the less fortunate by connecting businesses with non-profits, emphasizing the importance of mobilizing their finances and their employees to build communities of hope, helping to provide programs in the areas of social, economic and spiritual development. John served as Senior Pastor of Valley View Christian Church in Kent, Washington, 1976 to 1992, and was Community Relations Director for City Ministries, a food distribution ministry of The City Church in Kirkland, Washington, 1997 to 2007. At the writing of this book, over 115 churches of varying denominations received food through City Ministries, helping to feed over 25,000 people every week. John, a former Marine, holds a Bachelor of Theology from Northwest Christian College, Master of Divinity from Phillips University, and his Ph.D. in Practical Ministries from California Graduate School of Theology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of a Church Without Walls traces its origins back to the early Christian church, where worship and community building were often held in intimate settings such as homes and informal gatherings. However, as time progressed and religious institutions became more centralized with the construction of traditional church buildings, the idea of a church extending beyond physical boundaries has experienced a rekindled interest in recent times. The fundamental purpose of a Church Without Walls is to cultivate an environment that is both inclusive and welcoming. It embraces individuals from all walks of life, irrespective of their geographical location, background, age, or circumstances. Its essence lies in fostering a profound sense of belonging, fostering community ties, and reaching out to those who may feel apprehensive about attending a conventional church setting. It is important to note that a Church Without Walls does not seek to replace traditional churches, but rather offers an alternative avenue for individuals to connect with others and engage in worship. It serves as a platform where people can come together in fellowship, prayer, and service, transcending physical barriers. One of the remarkable advantages of a Church Without Walls lies in its remarkable ability to reach out to individuals who may have previously been disconnected from the traditional church experience. Through the utilization of technology and social media, these churches are capable of connecting with people across the globe, providing them with opportunities to nurture their faith and establish meaningful connections with like-minded individuals who share their beliefs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Future without Walls offers a comprehensive and complex analysis of Othering, while unveiling the connections between our divisions and the roots, forms, and consequences of the walls that have been erected. It also offers concrete steps forward to help us dismantle these walls. In A Future without Walls, T. Richard Snyder draws upon his half-century of activism in the struggle for justice and weaves analysis, prescription, and personal story throughout. Racism, extreme nationalism, xenophobia, gender abuse, bullying, and religious intolerance are all on the rise globally. Walls that many thought had been torn down are now being rebuilt. Those people who are different, and even those who differ, are treated as Other. A Future without Walls is a lamentation for the tragedy of Othering and a clarion call for justice. The dividing walls are more than a problem calling for a quick fix. They are embedded in both our history and our current culture and demand fundamental transformation. Snyder analyzes the entangled fabric of Othering: its history, roots, various forms, and inevitable violent consequences. Countering this tragedy are the voices of activists, mystics, scientists, philosophers, and theologians--black and white, indigenous and cosmopolitan, Christian, Jew, and Buddhist, female and male--each of whom urges us to embrace rather than exclude. This universal moral imperative is a call to action. A Future without Walls offers paths to healing and transformation, drawing on both individual and collective actions that have made a difference. Walls that have been erected can be dismantled. And while success is not inevitable, failure to act only guarantees disaster.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jonathan Meades has an obsessive preoccupation with places. He has spent thirty years constructing sixty films, two novels and hundreds of pieces of journalism that explore an extraordinary range of them, from natural landscapes to man-made buildings and 'the gaps between them', drawing attention to what he calls 'the rich oddness of what we take for granted'. This book collects fifty-four pieces and six film scripts that dissolve the barriers between high and low culture, good and bad taste, deep seriousness and black comedy. Meades delivers what he calls 'heavy entertainment' – strong opinions backed up by an astonishing depth of knowledge. To read Meades on places, buildings, politics or cultural history is an exhilarating workout for the mind. He leaves you better informed, more alert, less gullible.
