Ministers devote themselves to caring for their congregations, often at the expense of caring for themselves. Studies consistently show that physical health among clergy is significantly worse than among adults who are not in ministry. Flourishing in Ministry offers clergy and those who support them practical advice for not just surviving this grueling profession, but thriving in it. Matt Bloom, director of the Flourishing in Ministry project, shares groundbreaking research from more than a decade of study. Flourishing in Ministry project draws on more than five thousand surveys and three hundred in-depth interviews with clergy across denominations, ages, races, genders, and years of practice in ministry. It distills this deep research into easily understandable stages of flourishing that can be practiced at any stage in ministry or ministry formation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So I am a discerner, now what? Maybe that was your question as you picked up this book. Perhaps you are more mature in discernment and surprised that someone has written about it, but you are reading it out of curiosity. Either way, the Holy Spirit is going to meet you where you are! Holy Spirit has something amazing in store for you, to help you navigate this gift. I feel His heart on it. Many discerners have had the gift since birth but have been unsure of what they carry. They have been misunderstood, isolated, and rejected. Here are some insights to this book: What Is Discerning of Spirits Help, What Do I Feel Discerning the Angels Discerning the Holy Spirit Discerning Human Spirits / Motives Discerning Demons Discerning the Glory If you are one seeking to be mentored in the things of the Spirit the good news is you hold in your hand the priceless personal insights of one who has gone before you. In this book April Stutzman reveals her very personal journey of discovery into the Discerning of Spirits. Not many people are prepared to share what you will read here for fear of being ridiculed, thought strange or a misfit. However, if you have ever picked up thoughts that were not your own, received unexplainable feelings on certain part of your body or sensed or seen angels then its likely you were operating in the discerning of spirits. April provides wisdom in how she learned to navigate these experiences. The sad truth is many misunderstand these glimpses into the world of spirits around them and consequently fail to reach the fullness of their spiritual potential. Discerning of spirits is a complementary gift and for that reason it is often overlooked. However, this gift of the Holy Spirit enhances and fine tunes all the other gifts including: deliverance, counsel, dream interpretation and the delivery of prophecy. This is a timely and an easy-to-read journey of her book. Adrian Beale and Adam F Thompson Authors of The Divinity Code to Understanding your Dreams and Visions It would be difficult to imagine a better moment in history for a book on the subject of discerning of spirits. With the current seemingly continual conflict between political ideologies, economic systems, gender identities and identity politics, sexual morays and the pervasive role of government in every area of life we must be able to see the world through God’s eyes and act decisively and confidently by His grace. Traditional mindsets will not show us how to live in these chaotic times. We must know God’s will and to be able to articulate it against every vain philosophy and worldly orientation to be overcomers. I heartily recommend April Stutzman’s book, The Chronicles of a Discerner, as a helpful guide through the confusing maze of modern demonic agendas that besiege today’s professing Christians at every turn. Joan Hunter Author/Healing Evangelist host Miracles Happen TV show As the need for discernment increases in this hour, many are becoming aware they carry this gifting of discerning of spirits. The Chronicles of A Discerner is a great book that introduces, breaks down, and gives articulation to this gift. This a great tool for any level, but especially those stepping into the gifting of discerning of spirits. Those growing in this gift will gain greater confidence and gain a greater assurance they’re not alone in this gifting. It’s normal! Madeline James, founder of Madeline James Ministries, and author of Unlocking Your Prophetic Voice Chronicles of a Discerner is a practical yet powerful guide that will help you gain an understanding of the gift of discernment in greater depths. April walks you through her own personal journey of this unique gift and shares how she grew "spiritual muscles" to carry the weight of what the Lord has shown her over the years of cultivating a beautiful and personal relationship with the Holy Spirit. April also helps you to navigate what you may already be experiencing or will experience in your own life and calling. Not only will this book give you language, but it will also stir up a hunger to go after an intimate relationship with the Spirit of the Living God and to partner with Him in everything that you discern. Get ready to learn how to walk out this gift in the love of the Father! Teryn Yancey, Co-Founder of Glory Culture International I highly recommend April’s new book, The Chronicles of a Discerner. April is an extraordinary discerner and uses extravagant wisdom in discerning. The tips April shares in this book are a blessing to all who read it. Teaching any level discerner to stretch and grow. Pulling you to a higher level of discerning of spirits in the days we are living in.

Book excerpt: Everyone has a worldview. How did we get it? How is it formed? Is it possible by persuasion and logic to change one's worldview? In Rethinking Worldview, writer and worldview teacher J. Mark Bertrand has a threefold aim. First, he seeks to capture a more complex, nuanced appreciation of what worldviews really are. Then he situates worldviews in the larger context of a lived faith. Finally, he explores the organic connections between worldview and wisdom and how they are expressed in witness. Bertrand's work reads like a conversation, peppered with anecdotes and thought-provoking questions that push readers to continue thinking and talking long after they have put the book down. Thoughtful readers interested in theology, philosophy, and culture will be motivated to rethink their own perspectives on the nature of reality, as well as to rethink the concept of worldviews itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For individual or group use “It is my hope that this book will provide at least fifty ways you may take steps in a lifelong walk with God. It is written for you, the seeker and sojourner, as well as you, the church leader, youth minister, retreat facilitator, or worship planner. It is for all of us who thought we only knew one way to pray.” --from the introduction The explosion of interest today in Christian mystics, ancient prayer practices, and guided meditations speaks to a need for more hands-on tools that will help us pray in traditional as well as new and exciting ways. This book is intended to address that need. Each of the exercises includes not only instructions on how to use it as a prayer practice, but also some background, an introduction, a statement of intention, and tips to help you become comfortable with the practice. For those of you wanting to lead these practices in a group, there are special instructions and information in the Leader’s Guide at the end of the book. “Rich with wisdom drawn from the wellsprings of Western spirituality, this remarkable book is a sustained experience of spiritual direction offered by a seasoned spiritual guide.” -John S. Mogabgab, editor of Weavings journal "This book does more than point to ways of prayer; it serves as encouragement, guide, and partner for those who want to connect in prayer in ways that move beyond words." -Doug Pagitt, author of BodyPrayer and pastor of Solomon's Porch “This is a basic, balanced, and accessible guide to the variety, promise, and practice of prayer. Read it to deepen your understanding of prayer; use it to deepen your life in God.” -Frederick W. Schmidt, author of What God Wants for Your LifeClick here to read a sampleTable of ContentsTeresa A.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a large amount of material, both classic and recent (on occasion, unpublished) about the relations of Algebra and Topology. It therefore belongs to the area called Topological Algebra. More specifically, the objects of the study are subtle and sometimes unexpected phenomena that occur when the continuity meets and properly feeds an algebraic operation. Such a combination gives rise to many classic structures, including topological groups and semigroups, paratopological groups, etc. Special emphasis is given to tracing the influence of compactness and its generalizations on the properties of an algebraic operation, causing on occasion the automatic continuity of the operation. The main scope of the book, however, is outside of the locally compact structures, thus distinguishing the monograph from a series of more traditional textbooks.The book is unique in that it presents very important material, dispersed in hundreds of research articles, not covered by any monograph in existence. The reader is gently introduced to an amazing world at the interface of Algebra, Topology, and Set Theory. He/she will find that the way to the frontier of the knowledge is quite short -- almost every section of the book contains several intriguing open problems whose solutions can contribute significantly to the area.

Book excerpt: “I want to do more than hear a word from God. I want to become that word. That is revelation’s ultimate purpose—for the Word to become flesh.” —James GollWhat is “prophetic revelation” from God? And what is the believer’s role in receiving and activating it? James Goll, author of the best seller The Seer, explains that although some believers are especially gifted as prophets, every follower of Jesus receives the gifts of revelation and discernment. And every believer needs to use them! In fact, without discernment and sensitivity to the Holy Spirit, we cannot progress in our use of any of the gifts and callings. With clear explanations, scriptural illustrations, and real-life contemporary stories, Goll demonstrates how we can receive revelation through the natural senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste—and how to open ourselves up to the comparable supernatural senses through which God wants to speak. He also removes uncertainty about how to discern revelation and test the spirits, so that every believer can fulfill their ultimate purpose: extending Jesus’ powerful kingdom on earth. The Discerner is both a wonderful introduction to the prophetic lifestyle and a challenging call for those already immersed in prophetic revelation.
