In Scattering Seeds: Cultivating Church Vitality, Stephen Chapin Garner and Jerry Thornell share the story of their home congregation, the United Church of Christ in Norwell, MA. This average congregation has approached congregational life in a not-so-average way. Each congregant is seen as a minister, bringing the good news of Christ to the community; the church has moved away from boards and committees, instead utilizing the people to form ministry teams; and they have revitalized the way they approach and practice worship and education. Garner and Thornell don't claim to have the secret to church growth and vitality, but in sharing the story of their simple church in New England, they give hope and innovative ideas to congregations in regions all over the country.

Jesus calls each of us to live in a way that gives the Father glory, shares his love with everyone around us, and reflects the life of Jesus. He invites us to scatter seed. Scattering seed can be a challenge, though, especially in our public lives, our professional lives, and volunteer lives. Those of us called to teach in some way feel the challenge deeply. We seek to share knowledge, experiences, and life lessons with a broad and varied group of people and do it in a way that shares Christ's love. Often life, curriculum challenges, and student chemistry threaten to derail our best laid plans. When this happens, it's easy to be distracted from our purpose or even to forget that our life calling is the same as our calling to teach. Scattering Seed in Teaching is about returning to that call, or perhaps connecting with it for the first time. It shares stories, interviews, and observations of teachers and students learning about scattering seed. It connects with biblical reminders and encourages us as teachers to reflect on and remember that underlying our professional call to teach is our life call . . . they are one and the same, to scatter seed.

A SCATTERING OF SEEDS-THE CREATION OF CANADA is based on a series of documentary films exploring the dreams, darings and determination of Canada's first immigrants. It is a journey into the hopes and triumphs of the many groups who built a nation. In this wonderful and moving book, Lindalee Tracey has taken the best stories from the first two seasons of this award-winning series, which has been airing on the History Channel and in French on Radio Canada's RDI.This book draws on a rich archive of home movies, photographs, letters home, diaries, and oral history. The chapters provide personal portraits celebrating the diversity of the first families who arrived during Canada's formative years of nation building. From the early French, Ukrainian and Irish settlers to the more recent Chinese, Japanese, Finnish and Sikh immigrants, this kaleidoscope of images and experiences is unparalleled. There is conflict, oppression and the occasional sinking of hearts, yet the resolve and character of these immigrants is what built our nation and allows it to grow. At the root of each story is the instinct to contribute something, to leave something, to mark the efforts of life. Who we were before we became who we are is our lasting legacy and our greatest teacher. A SCATTERING OF SEEDS demonstrates a profound understanding of community that continues to shape a country still in transition.

Heritage Edition—Over 100 illustrations of a century ago. Unabridged, original text consisting of inspiring and profound lessons from the stories and parables which Jesus told. Christ the Great Teacher gave much of His instruction as He walked with His disciples through the hills and valleys of Palestine or rested by the lake or river. In His parable teaching He linked divine truth with common things and incidents, as may be found in the experiences of the shepherd, the builder, the tiller of the soil, the traveler, and the homemaker. Familiar objects were associated with thoughts true and beautiful—thoughts of God’s loving interest in us, of the grateful homage that is His due, and of the care we should have one for another. Thus lessons of divine wisdom and practical truth were made forcible and impressive. The Scripture says, “All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; . . . that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.” Matt. 13:34, 35. Natural things were the medium for the spiritual; the things of nature and the life-experience of His hearers were connected with the truths of the written word. Leading thus from the natural to the spiritual kingdom, Christ’s parables are links in the chain of truth that unites man with God, and earth with heaven. In this volume the parables are grouped according to their subjects, and their lessons are developed and illustrated. The book is full of gems of truth, and to many readers it will give a richer meaning to the common surroundings of everyday life.

Everyone wants to be happy in life; however, few actually are. Many believe that happiness comes from having money, fame, worldly success, popularity, or even luck. However, true happiness cannot be obtained from anything in this world. When we begin sowing spiritual seeds, blessings and happiness will flow from Heaven into your world. If we begin loving others and modeling a godly character in our life, the blessings will rain like a needed shower on a freshly planted garden. The more that we sow; the more we shall reap. Blessings are only a 'seed toss' away. In this book, Johnson offers inspiring and motivating insights that will help believers everywhere to cultivate true and lasting peace, joy, and happiness.
