Book excerpt: The author of this book examines The Purpose Driven Church, The Purpose Driven Life, and the business system that Rick Warren has developed to promote it around the world. He looks carefully at his claims, his use of scripture, his integration of human wisdom with scripture, and his ability to get thousands of pastors to convert from expository Bible preaching to being Purpose Driven. In the end he compares Rick Warren's version of "church health" with that of Jesus Christ. The reader will see how Rick Warren has indeed redefined Christianity. About the Author

Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2001. 'An age of faith or an age of doubt?'- the question has dominated study of Christianity in the Victorian era. Reinventing Christianity offers a fresh analysis of the vitality and variety of Christianity in Britain and America in the Victorian era. Part One presents an overview of some of the main varieties of Christianity in the west ranging from the conservative - Protestant evangelicalism and 'fortress' Catholicism - to the radical - Theosophy, Swedenborgianism and Transcendentalism; Part Two reviews negotiations between Christianity and the wider culture. The conclusion reflects on general trends in the period, showing how many of these prefigured later developments in religion. This book highlights the creativity and diversity of 19th century Christianity, showing how developments normally associated with the late 20th century - such as the reassertion of tradition and the rise of feminist theology and alternative spirituality - were already in train a century before.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is a successful life? What will it take for you to be a success? We seek success in our career, family, relationships and spiritual lives, but 'success' is elusive, fleeting and addictive. We reach a high only to want more with the next upgrade, promotion or achievement. Our pursuit of success often leaves us feeling disappointed, restless, inadequate, afraid, empty and craving for more. Is your definition of success harming you? We need life goals that don't harm ourselves, others, society and the planet. It's time to redefine success. Encounter the real Jesus and discover His definition of success. Apply His wisdom to discern your purpose, enjoy contentment, find courage and experience community. Be the success God created you to be.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past thirty years the American religious landscape has undergone a dramatic change. More and more churches meet in converted warehouses, many have ministers who've never attended a seminary, and congregations are singing songs whose melodies might be heard in bars or nightclubs. Donald E. Miller's provocative examination of these "new paradigm churches"—sometimes called megachurches or postdenominational churches shows how they are reinventing the way Christianity is experienced in the United States today. Drawing on over five years of research and hundreds of interviews, Miller explores three of the movements that have created new paradigm churches: Calvary Chapel, Vineyard Christian Fellowship, and Hope Chapel. Together, these groups have over one thousand congregations and are growing rapidly, attracting large numbers of worshipers who have felt alienated from institutional religion. While attempting to reconnect with first-century Christianity, these churches meet in nonreligious structures and use the medium of contemporary twentieth-century America to spread their message through contemporary forms of worship, Christian rock music, and a variety of support and interest groups. In the first book to examine postdenominational churches in depth, Miller argues that these churches are involved in a second Reformation, one that challenges the bureaucracy and rigidity of mainstream Christianity. The religion of the new millennium, says Miller, will connect people to the sacred by reinventing traditional worship and redefining the institutional forms associated with denominational Christian churches. Nothing less than a transformation of religion in the United States may be taking place, and Miller convincingly demonstrates how "postmodern traditionalists" are at the forefront of this change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christians are Believers in Jesus Christ who have been born again, and received the Life and Nature of God in them. As a matter of fact, they are partakers of the Divine Nature. Christians were Born of God, and are Offsprings of the Almighty God. Christianity is the life and Kingdom that Christ Jesus brought to us. But when you are born again by the Holy Spirit of God, because you received the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour, having repented of your evil ways, you are suddenly made to be aware that you belong to the Family of God. The Holy Spirit gets people born again through the Word of God, which is His Sword, because Jesus Christ has shed His Blood for them. Christianity, therefore, is life in Jesus Christ, in the Holy Spirit, and in the Word of God. The Father, Who initiated Christianity through His Spirit, is above all.

Book excerpt: What is the overarching storyline of the Bible? Is God violent? What is the Gospel? Can we find a way to address sexuality without fighting about it? At the opening of the twenty-first century, Christianity in the West is more fractured and beleaguered than ever. Groundbreaking author Brian McLaren suggests that if we are to get beyond doctrinal statements towards the life to the full that Jesus promised us, we need new paradigms for thinking and believing - and he invites us on a radical quest for a new kind of faith. Using ten key questions, McLaren boldly proposes what a future Christianity could look like. Radical yet orthodox, outspoken yet generous. This is a wise, compassionate book for all who are looking for an authentic, loving faith.
