During the Crusades, a family is displaced from their farm where they raise horses. Fielo, the father convinces his wife, Elizabeth, and young sons, Erik, Andre and Paul, they must leave. They lead their herd east to find a home in the forest Fie had visited long ago. They trade most of the horses for a small deserted castle in a village under dominion of Lord Randolph. Working together the family turns the ruin into a home. As time passes, the family builds good relationships. Fie teaches forest lore to his boys and their friends. Growing older they come to love nature, gain self confidence and acquire great knowledge of the forest. Erik begins to assume leadership roles. Fielo instructs his sons and friends in archery. Skill with bow and arrow is paramount for survival. The young people learn the craft of making equipment from materials found in the forest. Popularity of archery increases after Erik impresses villagers at a local contest. Erik and his friends form "The Order of the Arrow", enlisting Fie, the Friar, some parents, and a "Boyer" and "Fletcher" from the castle. Skill in archery improves to a level previously unsurpassed. A Fifth Crusade was fought and ended in disaster. It was followed, seven years later, by the Sixth Crusade. Due to previous failures, nobles were required to provide many soldiers to the distant war. As a result, bandits roam freely. With the homeland unprotected, Lord Randolph enlists The Order of the Arrow to train as squires for possible elevation to knighthood if they agree to defend his castle.

In his adventure he finds that, among a diversity of people, there are those who hold out a hand to give. Not all Christmas gifts come wrapped in brightly colored paper with ribbons and bows.

In this Gospel Coalition booklet, D. A. Carson and Timothy Keller recount the origins of the Gospel Coalition and the purpose for which it was formed: to propagate a robust understanding of the gospel's content and to encourage gospel-centered ministry. Carson and Keller, founders of the coalition and editors of the booklet series, form a theological foundation for the organization's mission and detail a vision for ministry in a changing world. Ministry today must entail both Bible-centered preaching as well as outreach to the needy. Grounding their vision in the cross, Carson and Keller show how biblical theology flows toward Jesus and the gospel. They also demonstrate how Christian ministry flows from Jesus and the gospel. This summary of gospel-centered ministry is a great resource for pastors and others interested in the Gospel Coalition.Gospel-Centered Ministry offers a thoughtful explanation for the Gospel Coalition's confessional statement. The Gospel Coalition is an evangelical renewal movement dedicated to a scripture-based reformation of ministry practices.
