• Instruct your children about sexual abuse and have a plan in place to deal with it.

Raising A Modern Day Knight

Item # 038195

$14.99

Quantity:

by Robert Lewis

What does it mean to be a man? Moreover, how does a Ranger commander instill these qualities? Using as an example the process by which a boy moved through the medieval stages of knighthood, author Robert Lewis identifies parallel stages for today’s mentors to create ceremonies to commemorate significant milestones in a young man’s journey toward becoming a modern-day knight. Beginning with a biblical perspective of manhood, author-pastor Robert Lewis shares a unique approach to shaping a boy into a man by equipping him with three essential elements: a vision, a code of conduct, and a cause (Christianity) in which to invest his life. Complete with ceremony ideas to celebrate accomplishments and ingrain them in his mind, this softcover is as insightful as it is practical in raising a boy to be a chivalrous, godly man. Paper. 208 pages.

Off-Road Disciplines

Item # 030541

$23.95

Quantity:

by Earl Creps

How can the Christian community truly reach the lost and hurting of our world? It requires each of us, as Christians and as leaders in the Christian community, to get out of our pews and get off the beaten path.

In Off-Road Disciplines, Earl Creps affirms our need to keep “on-road” practices like prayer and Bible reading. However, these are not the only disciplines we need. We also need to be ready for the unexpected encounters that can meet us in “ordinary” life. Encounters like showing compassion to a grieving stranger in an airport takes courage. Cultivating these types of “off-road disciplines” means we need to allow the Holy Spirit to rearrange our interior lives.

Like off-roading, this challenge isn’t for the faint of heart. Missions— reaching the lost and hurting with the compassion of Jesus Christ—is the Church’s reason for being. Allowing it to become more than a catch phrase or a check on our to do list requires a transformation of our hearts.

Journey with Creps as he explores twelve central spiritual disciplines that Christian leaders of all ages need to change about themselves and their churches to reach out to the culture around them. Off- roading can be scary, and you may get a bump or two, but the panoramic view you’ll find is worth it. Hard. 240 pages.

Earl Creps is director of the Doctor of Ministry program and associate professor at the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary.
