This is the fourth in a series of books for Douglas N. Petersen, where he shares inspirational messages called thoughts of the day. Each one was written in random, usually spontaneously, with no recurring theme except for focusing on personal values. The reawakening of values is important and too many times these are suppressed, and then we allow character defects dominate over our values. When we allow greed, hatred, selfishness take priority over love, service, truthfulness, we suffer, but equally important others around us suffer too. The stress that life hands us can be challenging. However, this book will help bring the joys of life into focus. These pages will reawaken your personal values so that your life will be enriched beyond measure.
How and why is Christianity's center of gravity shifting to the developing world? To understand this rapidly growing phenomenon, Donald E.

The result is this vividly detailed book which provides the most comprehensive information available on Pentecostalism, the fastest-growing religion in the world. Rich with scenes from everyday life, the book dispel many stereotypes about this religion as they build a wide-ranging, nuanced portrait of a major new social movement.

Pentecostals and Nonviolence explores how a distinctly Pentecostal-charismatic peace witness might be reinvigorated and sustained in the twenty-first century. To do so, the book examines the nature of the early Pentecostal commitment to nonviolence, and investigates the possibilities that might emerge from Pentecostals and Anabaptists entering into conversation and worship with each other. Contributors engage the arguments surrounding the heritage of Pentecostal pacifism in the United States and then move toward exploring nonviolence and peacemaking as crucial for contemporary Christianity as a whole. Ranging from theology, testimony, and pastoral ministry to interchurch relations, activism, and protest, this diverse collection of essays challenge and invite the whole church to the task of peacemaking while exploring the distinctive, and often neglected, contributions from the Pentecostal-charismatic tradition.
