I en tid, när internet ger möjlighet att få vänner på några få sekunder, är ensamheten ändå utbredd. Även i kristna församlingar kan relationer ibland kännas ytliga. Hur kommer det sig? Här om någonstans borde det finnas en oas av gemenskap. Författaren till denna bok, Vaughan Roberts, ifrågasätter att det behöver vara så. Han leder oss till Bibeln för att där finna nyckeln till sann vänskap. Att känna Gud och att vara känd av Gud gör det möjligt att själv vara genuin och utan självupptagenhet möta andra. Hur ser dina vänskapsrelationer ut? Den här boken hjälper dig. Den visar hur din sanna mänsklighet kan blomma ut i osjälvisk kärlek till andra - så som Jesus själv levde och undervisade. Bokens olika kapitel avslutas med reflektioner och samtalsfrågor. På ett praktiskt sätt får vi råd hur ensamhet kan bytas mot sann vänskap och ytlighet mot fruktbärande gemenskap. Författaren, Vaughan Roberts, är kyrkoherde i St Ebbe's i Oxford. Han är ordförande i The Proclamation Trust och är författare till ett flertal böcker.
The Gospel Coalition Top Books of 2015 in Christian LivingTim Challies' Top Books of 2015ProdigalThought.net's Top Reads of 2015Leadership Journal's Best Ministry Books of the YearWhen Christians have same-sex attraction, how should the church respond?Pastor Ed Shaw experiences same-sex attraction, and yet he is committed to Scripture and the church's traditional position of fidelity in heterosexual marriage and celibacy in singleness. In this honest book, he shares his pain in dealing with these issues, but at the same time shows us that obedience to Jesus is ultimately the only way to experience life to the full.He shows that the Bible's teaching seems unreasonable not because of its difficulties, but because of missteps that the church has often taken in its understanding of the Christian life. We have been shaped by the world around us and urgently need to re-examine the values that drive our discipleship. Only by doing this in the light of the Bible can we make sense of its call on the lives of those who are attracted to their own sex.
“Ed Shaw skriver ärligt och självutlämnande, men också med värme och humor, om en av vår tids allra hetaste frågeställningar. Under resans gång lyckas han inte bara visa kraften i den världsbild som ligger till grund för den bibliska sexualetiken – han ger också ett antal viktiga utmaningar till den evangelikala kristenheten i stort. Läs boken med ett öppet sinne och låt Shaws utmaningar leda till praktisk handling!” - Olof Edsinger, Teolog, författare och generalsekreterare för Svenska Evangeliska Alliansen "Ed Shaw skriver med en pastors insikt, en profets mod, en sann lärjunges integritet och en väns värme. Detta är en enormt viktig bok med ett avgörande budskap till hela Kristi församling." - Sam Allberry, författare till Är Gud anti-gay?
This is an unusual book, gathering wisdom on leadership from around the world, across a century. The material has been curated for its quality, and its reach. It will stretch the minds of younger leaders to help them see what they could do; and help them to think in new categories. The material is profound, but all lucidly expressed. It would be as accessible to an undergraduate student as to a pastor or business leader. The Appendix on good governance comes at a time when sad stories of poor governance have had detrimental effects on the ministries or publishing houses they are meant to have protected. This is unique to our knowledge. We trust it will enable trustees and board members to better understand their roles, and to be able to call out bad practice.
There is a great deal of interest in churches across the UK, US and Europe about applying ideas from the world of leadership and management to Christian ministry. There are those who wish to apply (sometimes quite uncritically) mechanistic approaches which they hope will enable churches to be run in a more ‘business-like’ manner. There are also those who argue that insights from organizational studies have no place whatsoever in churches. This innovative and original book builds on qualitative thinking about organizational narrative and argues that it can provide significant insights into how churches function, which is much more in keeping with their ethos and history. As well as analysing how stories and storytelling work in churches it also provides practical ideas for how they can be used to improve church leadership. Taking the work of organizational thinkers and researchers and bringing it into conversation with biblical scholars, theologians, and church historians, the authors establish a conversation across these disciplines and explore how story and narrative work through and within churches. Table of Contents: 1. What Is Leadership? 2. Leading the Stories and Storying the Leading 3. Stories and Identities: Story, Character and Becoming 4. Living in Multiple Stories 5. Who Owns the Story? 6. Church Narratives: Interpretive Stories 7. Church Narratives: Identity Stories 8. Church Narratives: Improvised Stories 9. Curating Congregational Stories in a Tick Box Church? Conclusion: Ten Ideas for Leading By Story in Churches
Stories are at the heart of how God’s kingdom is revealed both in scripture and in contemporary church ministry. This volume draws on these kingdom stories to extend the conversation between practical theology and contemporary organizational studies. Responding to the huge increase in interest in leadership and organisational theory as a means to understanding ministry, Vaughan S. Roberts shows how a more qualitative, story-led approach to thinking about leadership can offer a valuable perspective on ministry for both individuals and churches.
