God, How Much Longer?
Dear God, I cordially invite you to work on my timetable. In our own ways, even when we may not realize we’re doing it, we often approach God just in this way. After all, don’t we feel like we need something to happen NOW; we want what we want NOW; we need the answer NOW? (Are you seeing a theme emerging?) All too often, we want God to work on our timetable, even when we know he sees the big picture and we don’t have a clue. Here’s the truth: The Christian walk is about patience, perseverance, longsuffering, and delayed gratification—things the Bible calls virtues. Things we tend to call impossible! If you need answers NOW, start with this book. Robert Stofel will show you how to get beyond the pain and struggle of waiting to that perfect place of peace and trust in God’s timetable. Soon you’ll stop asking, “God, how much longer?” and you’ll be able to truly sit back and enjoy the ride! Readers’ Guide included for group study or personal reflection.
Introducing Christian Education
Building on the success of his 1992 collection Foundations of Ministry (over 17,000 sold), Michael Anthony offers Introducing Christian Education to fill the need in the C.E. curriculum for an introductory foundations textbook--one that provides an overview and understanding of the broad range of subjects included in C.E.--for college and seminary use. Thirty-one chapters are offered under the following sections: 1) Foundations of C.E.; 2) Developmental Perspectives of C.E.; 3) Educational Implications of C.E.; 4) Organization, Administration, and Leadership; 5) C.E. Applied to the Family; and 6) Specialized Ministries. Contributors include Robert Pazmiño, Jim Wilhoit, Julie Gorman, Klaus Issler, and Ted Ward. FROM THE FOREWORD BY LESTER C. BLANK JR. Introducing Christian Education will become a major resource text for church leaders and Christian education leaders who are professors of Christian education. It will be a valuable resource in my personal library. The desired outcome will be Psalm 78:72: "He cared for them with a true heart and led them with skillful hands."
