Por costume, a igreja acabou se tornando um lugar onde nos reunimos e formamos crentes. Mas enquanto o nosso conceito de igreja se limitar a isso, perderemos de vista uma de nossas fun es principais como povo de Deus: sair pelo mundo.O resultado que viramos congrega es que se re nem entre as paredes de um pr dio - em vez de sermos comunidades vitais movidas por um prop sito dentro das culturas atuais. Em Igreja Sem Paredes, Jim Petersen prop e uma defini o revigorante de igreja que se estende al m das fronteiras limitadas que herdamos.Um chamado v vido e inspirador a todo crist o, Igreja Sem Paredes investiga: Por que as formas de igreja que sobreviveram s suas fun es impedem o evangelho no mundo atual; pr ticas esquecidas do Novo Testamento que permitem uma express o mais fluida e diversa do povo de Deus; a import ncia de distinguir entre tradi o da igreja e absolutos b blicos ao comunicar o evangelho; o que precisamos saber sobre a sociedade de hoje para tornar o evangelho verdadeiramente acess vel e transformador.Os crist os do primeiro s culo precisaram separar Jesus do juda smo para que pudessem se tornar o povo de todas as na es. Hoje, precisamos separar Jesus das tradi es religiosas para torn -lo vis vel em nosso mundo. Esse o desafio que enfrentamos. Seremos a igreja sem paredes, comunicando um evangelho livre das armadilhas da tradi o e da cultura? Ou continuaremos a reproduzir nossas formas e estruturas, omitindo a ess ncia do evangelho?

By habit, the church has come to mean a place where we congregate. But that understanding causes us to miss one of our primary reasons for being in the world. In Church Without Walls, author Jim Petersen offers an exciting definition of the church that pushes beyond the too-small boundaries we've inherited from the past. A vivid and inspiring call to every Christian, this book explores why some church forms impede the gospel in today's postmodern world. The first-century church had to sort out Jesus from Judaism in order to become a people for all nations. Today we have to sort out Jesus from our religious traditions in order to make him accessible to our culture. In a time of sagging church influence, this book demonstrates that the Scriptures provide a blueprint for helping men and women make a difference in the world.

On January 23rd, 1967, Lt. Colonel Barry Bridger and his copilot, Dave Grey, launched a mission over Vietnam in their Phantom F-4 fighter jet in treacherous weather. It was Colonel Bridger’s 75th mission and the only one he had attempted in the daylight hours.Suddenly, his plane was split in half by a ground-to-air missile. He and Grey ejected while the plane was going 600 miles per hour and began their descent into the unknown below. When Bridger finally landed on terra firma, he found the North Vietnamese army waiting for him. They arrested him and Grey and checked them into The Hanoi Hilton: a place designed to break the spirit of all who entered.Lt. Colonel Bridger not only survived this horrific ordeal; he thrived. He says his deeply held values saved him and his fellow prisoners.Are your values compelling enough and ingrained deeply enough to sustain you through a situation in which, like Barry, you are captured by a savage enemy and subjected to years of torture? Are your values such that you can make it through the inevitable tough times we all face periodically that make it hard to continue?The Spirit to Soar is filled with valuable life lessons about how to thrive and how to use every experience to help you successfully face the next one.

When it comes to workplace and business relationships, many workers and leaders are frustrated by constant strife, tension, and distrust. Yet everything in a company's success stands (or falls) on trust -- between suppliers and clients, managers and employees, buyers and suppliers, accountants and lawyers. Everything in business and economics is relational. Despite this truth, we often lack a vision for how to build stronger, healthier relational interactions at work. In Working Together, author Jim Petersen injects a rare perspective, one that is usually excluded from discussions about work and economics. He argues that a theological framework is needed, one that doesn't rely only on self-help principles. Jim identifies four character traits found in God's nature: integrity, love, humility, and forgiveness. He shows how these attributes, if we are willing to imitate God, can be applied to workplace and business relationships. The more we are aligned with God's designs for life, the more we and our teams will flourish. Intended to be used individually or in small groups, this book includes insights from scripture and contemporary thinkers. It is for any professional who wants to explore ways to develop healthy and productive workplace teams, improve friendships with colleagues, or grow within a company.
