Who is Jesus? And why does the church He started matter today? The answers to these questions are practical, profound, and liberating--and also inextricably connected. The closer you get to Jesus, the more you love people; and the more you love people, the more you become like Jesus. Drawing on biblical teaching and over forty-five years of ministry experience, Pastor Mel Mullen brings clear, practical understanding to Jesus' message and the community of Jesus-followers we call the church. You will discover the life-changing truths of who Jesus is, what His grace and love mean for you, and how your life can help others everywhere you go.

DISCOVER HOW YOU CAN FIND FREEDOM FROM GUILT AND SHAMEDo any of the following apply to you?I need forgiveness from God, but I don't know how to find it.It's only a matter of time before people find out I'm not good enough.I am disconnected and lonely.How can I figure out when I am guilty and when I am innocent?I don't think I'm worth being loved.I don't want to be so angry, jealous, and judgmental.I need to have a stronger connection with God.If these statements sound familiar to you-you are not alone. Even the most emotionally healthy people today experience degrees of the anguish brought on by shame and guilt. The heavy burden of shame and guilt can often keep us from connecting with others and enjoying the freedom of living in Christ.In Overcoming Guilt and Shame Dr. Daniel Green and Dr. Mel Lawrenz discuss the many ways in which guilt and shame both subtly and overtly manifest themselves in our lives. Using pastoral counseling and illustrative psychological case studies, they uncover the causes of and healthy responses to shame and guilt.Daniel Green (Ph.D., University of Arkansas) is clinical director of New Life Resources, Inc. in Brookfield, WI.Mel Lawrenz (Ph.D., Marquette University) is minister at large for Elmbrook Church in Brookfield, WI, and director of The Brook Network (www.thebrooknetwork.org).

A Time for Dignity: Crisis and Gospel Today
"An urgent call..." -Os Guinness What is a human being worth? That is the opening question in this new book by Mel Lawrenz which explores the meaning of human dignity and its connection with the Christian gospel and mission. Human dignity is a widely-held ideal, but there is much confusion over what it means. Is it simply autonomy-the supposed right that people have for complete self-determination? Is it good behavior? Is human dignity the basis for protection for all people, especially the vulnerable, founded on the reality that people are created in the image of God? Lawrenz speaks to the issue of dignity not just as a philosophical topic, but as an everyday reality. This is "a time for dignity" because of the many indignities that diminish people, whether abuse, illness, aging, injustice, terrorism, economic crises, etc. The mandate of the gospel requires specific commitments to recognizing and respecting human worth-all carried out in obedience to Jesus Christ. CONTENTS What is a Human Being Worth? Slap in the Face: The Insults of Indignity Restoring Dignity The Mandate of the Gospel The Dignity of Jesus ENDORSEMENT "The dignity of the person is the bedrock of any society with a human face. But if the last century witnessed some of history's greatest violations, the coming century may well prove worse. A Time for Dignity is an urgent call.... Followers of Jesus must not fail to rise to the challenge of the hour." -Os Guinness, author and social critic EXCERPT Despite all the painful circumstances of life that can make us feel incomplete, or less than fully human, most people do not give up the hope that they have some worth, some dignity. Illness makes us less than whole. Aging diminishes the body and oftentimes the mind. Abusive relationships violate. Loss and trauma fracture people's lives like earthquakes that weaken the whole structure of life. Unemployment and under-employment rob people of a sense of purpose. Many who have a job work for managers who treat them like gears in a machine. Yet most people hope that there is something higher about personhood that cannot be taken away. Most people want to hold their heads up.

Los d as previos a la Navidad constituyen una oportunidad extraordinaria para crecer en el conocimiento de Jes s, el Cristo, quien se denomin a s mismo como el camino, la verdad y la vida. En muchas ocasiones Jes s les dijo a sus seguidores los motivos por los que hab a venido. La gente com n no suele hablar de esa forma. Aunque tengamos un sentido de prop sito en la vida, no decimos que hemos venido al mundo con una misi n especial. Jes s dijo que lleg para cumplir la Escritura: No piensen que he venido a anular la ley o los profetas; no he venido a anularlos sino a darles cumplimiento (Mt. 5.17). Dijo que vino a predicar y proclamar: V monos de aqu a otras aldeas cercanas donde tambi n pueda predicar; para esto he venido (Mc. 1.38). Dijo que vino a sacarnos de la oscuridad: Yo soy la luz que ha venido al mundo, para que todo el que crea en m no viva en tinieblas (Jn. 12.46). Puesto de pie ante Poncio Pilato, Jes s dijo: Eres t quien dice que soy rey. Yo para esto nac , y para esto vine al mundo: para dar testimonio de la verdad (Jn. 18.37) Dijo que vino a dar vida: Yo he venido para que tengan vida, y la tengan en abundancia (Jn. 10.10). Y si todo eso no fuera suficiente, dijo que lleg con el fin de servir y darse en sacrificio: Porque ni aun el Hijo del hombre vino para que le sirvan, sino para servir y para dar su vida en rescate por muchos (Mc. 10.45). Hay distintas formas de contemplar la realidad transformadora de la venida del Hijo de Dios. En este devocional consideraremos veinticinco palabras o frases claves asociadas con el nacimiento de Jes s. Pensaremos en alegr a, paz, Emanuel, pastor, sabios, Mar a, estrella, carne, virgen, consejero, pr ncipe, pesebre y m s. En cada una de estas palabras se encierra un tesoro. Puedes leer el texto de forma diaria o seguir el ritmo que prefieras. Si comienzas el primer d a de diciembre, terminar s el d a de Navidad, pero en realidad puedes hacer las lecturas en cualquier momento durante la temporada navide a. Dios te bendiga al acercarte m s a Cristo este a o.
Conocer a Cristo: Lecturas Devocionales Sobre La Cruz Y Resurrección
Jes s es lo suficientemente intrigante como una figura hist rica, pero es mucho m s que eso. Jes s el Mes as es la fuente de gracia y verdad, perd n y confrontaci n, poder, sabidur a y vida. No es de sorprenderse que el ap stol Pablo dijera: Lo he perdido todo a fin de conocer a Cristo, experimentar el poder que se manifest en su resurrecci n, participar en sus sufrimientos y llegar a ser semejante a l en su muerte. As espero alcanzar la resurrecci n de entre los muertos (Filipenses 3.10-11). Conocer a Cristo es un conjunto de lecturas devocionales que pone el foco en la raz n por la que Cristo vino y qu logr para la humanidad mediante Su muerte sacrificial y resurrecci n triunfal. _____ Mel Lawrenz sirve al Se or como parte del equipo pastoral de la Iglesia Elmbrook en Brookfield, Wisconsin (EE. UU.), donde previamente se desempe como pastor principal. Tiene un doctorado en historia del pensamiento cristiano (Marquette University) y es adjunto en la facultad de Trinity International University. Es autor y coautor de diecis is libros publicados por Zondervan, Baker, Regal, Leadership Network y otros. _____ Jesus is intriguing enough as a historical figure, but he is much more than that. Jesus the Messiah is the source of grace and truth, forgiveness and confrontation, power and wisdom and life. No wonder the apostle Paul said: "I want to know Christ-yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead" (Philippians 3:10-11). Knowing Him is a set of devotional readings for the Easter season focusing on why Christ came, and what he accomplished for humanity through his sacrificial death and triumphant resurrection.

The collection of poems Desires Dreams and Thoughts in Between has arisen from the many inspirations in life that prompt inner emotions and set the cogs of the mind turning. Often we may analyse our own behavioural patterns. We share feelings amongst friends, formulate ideas and gain wisdom by increasing our knowledge through life's lessons. The words within are responses to the flow of thoughts produced from such occasions.The Poet: Mel Stewart finds her inspiration from life's colourful journey and is especially drawn to nature where she puts pen to paper to express her emotions about everyday occurrences. Living on the mid north coast of N.S.W. Australia provides an abundance of natural water resources for Mel to further her creativity in photography. She enjoys sharing her own thoughts and feelings about love and laughter, and the ups and downs that confront us on a daily basis, maintaining a positive outlook and her choice to find happiness in the simplest of things.
