In the Way of Jesus
A revolutionary love movement is circling the globe. Broken lives are being transformed and the love of Jesus is being gossiped into the most remote regions of the planet. However, in the West, the church is in decline. The brand image is broken. Christianity is not seen as radical or revolutionary and some of those who claim to be "Christian," seem to bear little resemblance to the life and teachings of Jesus. Through national and international engagement in Christian ministry, Paul Kroeker has witnessed this development firsthand. He has come to realize that "Though we thought we were rich, we are really poor, and though we thought they were poor, the international church has the riches we...

Guardrails
An estimated 4,000 churches are planted every year. An estimated 3,700 churches close every year. It's not easy starting or sustaining a vital Christian witness of any kind. It's even harder when there's no structure to support the good work you're doing. Guardrails offers structure to your good impulse to follow the great commission to go and make disciples right where you are. Guardrails provides six principles that allow for sustainable growth in a church's mission, for the health of God's people and the sake of the world.
Against the Tide
With increased globalization and modernization reaching into the furthest corners of the earth also comes the influence of secularization. These three tides of influence impact traditional religious beliefs, practices, and institutions in significant ways. Some modernizing societies see religion on the decline, while others find it thriving in surprising ways. This collection of essays presents the opportunities and the challenges of secularization for the mission of the Church, with hopeful signs and reassurance that God is still at work in a secularizing world. Readers will find both analysis and guidance that will assist the Church in an informed, missional engagement with secularization in a variety of contexts—starting with North America, then Europe, Asia, and Africa. Each local church and mission organization must discern the appropriate missional response for evangelism, discipleship, congregational life, and social involvement. To be Against the Tide means regaining your voice, as a church on mission, informed by your context and inspired by the responses of others in theirs.
Church for Every Context
The first comprehensive textbook on the theology and methodology of Fresh Expressions, one of the most important developments within the contemporary church.
Balanced Discipleship
The data is in … more and more people are leaving the church. We’ve worked hard at creating better programs, better music, and better sermons, but it’s not enough. This is in stark contrast to the global church that is growing exponentially. What are they doing differently? What can we learn? In Matthew 28 Jesus does not ask us to go into the world and make great church services, he tells us to go into the world and make disciples. Campbell takes a deep dive into the Great Commission, exploring Jesus’ balanced model of discipleship, and giving us practical tools to apply to our local church.
Seven Practices for the Church on Mission
Jesus gave his followers seven key practices. When we practice these disciplines, God becomes faithfully present to us, and we in turn become God's faithful presence to the world. Pastor and professor David Fitch shows how these seven practices can revolutionize the church's presence in our neighborhoods, transform our way of life in the world, and advance the kingdom.
