Prayer is not simply another item for Christians to check off our daily to-do lists. If we are serious about the Christian life and about participating in God's mission in the world, then prayer will be an active and intentional part of our lives. In Teach Us to Pray, Carla Sunberg allows Scripture to be the guide, showing us where our ancestors and heroes in the faith--including Jesus himself but also Paul, the psalmists, and others--have already walked these paths and demonstrated for us how to achieve and enjoy a deep relationship with God through prayer. Each chapter closes with actionable steps and suggestions for Christians who want to practice what they've learned but don't know where to start.

Making Christlike disciples in the nations requires equipping people for the Christian life, the purpose of which is to become more and more like Christ. The invitation to live like Christ is a journey in which we continually turn from the ways of this world and fix our eyes on our Savior. As we do, we move ever closer toward Jesus with the aid and guidance of the Holy Spirit and accountability from our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. In The Christian Life, General Superintendent Carla Sunberg explores the paragraphs from the Nazarene Manual that discuss what living in a Christlike way might look like from the Nazarene perspective.

When we talk about color in the church, we are talking about so much more than race and ethnicity--yet at the same time we cannot leave race and ethnicity out of the conversation altogether. As a white woman and a black man, Carla Sunberg and Dany Gomis have coauthored a harmoniously blended collection of reflections comparing a bride adorned in luxurious colors for her groom to the bride of Christ. Explore what it would look like for the bride of Christ to discover and use a full array of hues, both biblically and culturally. More than a book about skin tone, Color challenges the church to rise above a monochromatic perspective to see the fresh beauty of interweaving threads to complete the church bride's adornment for her bridegroom. With a friendly, collaborative style and questions for reflection at the end of each chapter, Sunberg and Gomis encourage us to celebrate the vibrancy and intensity of the Christian life the way God designed us to live it--as filled with Color. Watch as authors Dr. Carla Sunberg and Dr. Daniel Gomis sat down with moderator Stuart Williams to discuss the themes and topics in Color: God's Intention for Diversity. Watch Now
