Book excerpt: "FAITHFUL MINDS" is a comprehensive guide that combines the principles of Biblical counseling with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help readers achieve emotional and mental wellness. This book explores the intersection of these two disciplines, offering practical advice and guidance for those seeking to improve their mental health through a faith-based approach. Drawing on Biblical teachings and psychological insights, the author provides a step-by-step guide to understanding the root causes of emotional struggles and negative thinking patterns. Readers will learn how to identify and challenge negative thoughts and beliefs, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and cultivate a more positive and resilient mindset. This book is an essential resource for anyone seeking to improve their mental and emotional health through a faith-based approach. It offers practical guidance, insightful anecdotes, and helpful exercises to help readers apply the principles of Biblical counseling and CBT to their daily lives. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or other emotional challenges, "FAITHFUL MINDS" offers a path to healing and renewed hope. Throughout this book, certain phrases and scriptures are repeated for emphasis, as a way of inculcating them into your way of thinking. This is a technique that Jesus also used, where he repeated his points to ensure that it was well established in the minds of his listeners. Repetition not only aids in memory but can also be used to effectively highlight key ideas and help your audience to understand them clearly. A good example of this is found in the book of Proverbs, where God inspired Solomon to repeat certain proverbs almost word-for-word, in order to convey knowledge and sharpen understanding.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why does the church teach? And what should it teach? In recent years, traditional Sunday school and education programs have declined in influence and effectiveness. Education in the church is often sidelined by other competing priorities, and our efforts become haphazard and random. As a result, many Christians have not learned the fundamental doctrinal content of the faith. As a response, a growing number of church ministries have moved toward an emphasis on Christian spiritual formation. But churches must hold together education and formation, the teaching of the faith and the forming of the faithful. In this comprehensive text, Gary Parrett and Steve Kang attend to both the content and process of educational and formational ministries. They set forth a thoroughly biblical vision for intentional teaching of the Christian faith, with a holistic concern for what and whom is taught as well as how and why. Fully apprised of developments in educational theory and pedagogy, Parrett and Kang propose a core curriculum for recovering the full scope of Christian proclamation and reinvigorating the teaching ministry of the church. Their vision has implications not merely for catechesis, but for preaching, worship, children's and youth ministry, and much more. The body of Christ can become all that God intends it to be, through intentional practices that foster personal and corporate formation. Here is guidance for individuals and congregations on that journey.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's time to talk back. The generation born into evangelical purity culture has grown up, and many have started families of their own. But as time goes on, it's becoming more evident that many still struggle with purity culture's complicated legacy—its idolization of virginity, its mixed messages about modesty and lust, and its promise of a healthy marriage and great sex for those who follow the rules. In Talking Back to Purity Culture, Rachel Joy Welcher reviews the movement carefully, examining its teachings through the lens of Scripture. Compassionate, faithful, and wise, she charts a path forward for Christians in the ongoing debates about sexuality—one that rejects legalism and license alike, steering us back instead to the good news of Jesus. It's time to talk back to purity culture—and this book is ready to jump-start the conversation.

Book excerpt: AN INVITATION TO A BOLDER, BIBLICAL FAITH Faith. To skeptics, the word exhibits naïveté. Other people, somewhat religious, view faith as not much more than an emotional experience, and others see it as no more than affirming a list of beliefs. Yet what is faith according to Scripture? Why is faith so fundamental to our salvation? And what is our faith worth when severed from the way we live? In Faithful Faith, Mark E. Moore takes the reader on a tour of biblical faith, demonstrating how--unlike many cultural and incomplete views of faith--the real thing is transformative. Rather than settling for a "faith" that only stimulates the mind or merely inspires the emotions, take the plunge into a faith that is faithful. An easy read and an important declaration of the nature of biblical faith. -- Jon Weece, Senior Pastor, Southland Christian Church, Lexington, KY I came away with a much better understanding of how faith is an action and not just an emotion, thus giving me a better understanding of being saved by God's grace through my faith. -- John Solheim, President of PING Read this book with your family or small group, get a tighter grip on biblical faith, and keep climbing upward with confidence! -- Matt Proctor, President of Ozark Christian College MARK E. MOORE (PhD, University of Wales) is Teaching Pastor at Christ's Church of the Valley (CCV) in Peoria, Arizona, and author of Core 52.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of Relationship Goals . . . Will you be remembered as a person who claimed to follow God but liked to play it safe? Or as a person who lived your life out on the limb and trusted God enough to live in crazy faith? Noah looked crazy when he started building the ark . . . until it started raining. It was crazy for Moses to lead a nation of people into the desert away from Egypt . . . until the Red Sea parted. It was crazy to believe that a fourteen-year-old virgin would give birth to the Son of God . . . until Mary held Jesus in her arms. There are many things that seem normal or average today that at one point in time seemed absolutely crazy. Smartphones, Wi-Fi, and even the electric light bulb were all groundbreaking, history-making inventions that started out as crazy ideas. Our see-it-to-believe-it generation tends to have a hard time exercising true faith—one that steps out, takes action, and sees mountain-moving results. Many of us would rather play it safe and stand on the sidelines, but it’s crazy faith that helps us see God move and reveals His promises. In Crazy Faith, Pastor Michael Todd shows us how to step out in faith and dive into the purposeful life of trusting God for the impossible. Even if you have to start with baby faith or maybe faith, you can become empowered to let go of your lazy faith, trust God through your hazy faith, and learn to live a lifestyle of crazy faith. With powerful stories of modern-day faith warriors who take their cues from biblical heroes, Michael Todd equips you to • believe for the impossible • choose hope over fear • be alert to the voice of God • cope with loss and doubt • develop a deeper level of trust in God • speak faith-filled declarations • inspire crazy faith in others God’s not looking for somebody to give Him all the reasons why His plans can’t happen. He’s looking for somebody to believe they will happen. In fact, He has so much He wants to do through you. The question is, Are you crazy enough to believe it?
