Transform Lives and Change the Course of HistoryMany countries are facing possibly the greatest crises of their entire history. What a tragedy it would be if we Christians failed to make any positive effect on the needs of the nation in which we live! Yet victory is the destiny of God’s people. Be part of His plan to transform your life, the lives of other people, and the very life of your country. Jesus Christ never encountered a situation in which He said, “I’m sorry. There is nothing to be done.” Instead, He taught that believers are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. The world is in desperate need of change, and we are the people who must bring about that change. Best-selling author and Bible teacher Derek Prince outlines our strategic position as Christians in the world—including both our privileges and responsibilities to impact individual lives, communities, and entire nations. He provides timely teaching on how to… Take spiritual initiative in your area of influence Identify with God’s purposes and extend His kingdom in the world Wage spiritual warfare and defeat the schemes of the devil Utilize the weapons of prayer, fasting, praise, and testimony Become a history changer for a better world We have the means to alter the course of events in our cities and nations according to God’s will—transforming lives and changing the course of history.

Social justice is an integral part of evangelization, a constitutive dimension of preaching the gospel, and an essential part of the church's mission. With these words, the U.S. Catholic Bishops reaffirmed their ongoing commitment to the social teachings of the church. In their document Communities of Salt & Light: Reflections on the Social Mission of the Parish, they demonstrated that the parish is to be a place where the work of charity, justice, and peace thrive. Becoming a Community of Salt and Light helps the parish become such a place. This book is for anyone engaged in the work of social ministry: parishioners, social justice committees, pastors, directors of religious education, and even liturgy committees. Accessible and informative lesson plans help facilitators lead groups of parishioners in an exploration of their relationship to the parish and to the work of charity, justice, and peace. The resource materials included are invaluable to today's parish. The commitment to live the social mission of the church is for each of us. Becoming a Community of Salt and Light is the key to understanding--and then acting upon--this commitment.

What does living for Jesus look like in the everyday stuff of life? Many Christians have unwittingly embraced the idea that “church” is a once-a-week event rather than a community of Spirit-empowered people; that “ministry” is what pastors do on Sundays rather than the 24/7 calling of all believers; and that “discipleship” is a program rather than the normal state of every follower of Jesus. Drawing on his experience as a pastor and church planter, Jeff Vanderstelt wants us to see that there’s more—much more—to the Christian life than sitting in a pew once a week. God has called his people to something bigger: a view of the Christian life that encompasses the ordinary, the extraordinary, and everything in between. Packed full of biblical teaching, compelling stories, and real-world advice, this book will remind you that Jesus is filling the world with his presence through the everyday lives of everyday people... People just like you.

The perfect gift! A specially priced, beautifully designed hardcover edition of The Joy of the Gospel with a foreword by Robert Barron and an afterword by James Martin, SJ. “The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus… In this Exhortation I wish to encourage the Christian faithful to embark upon a new chapter of evangelization marked by this joy, while pointing out new paths for the Church’s journey in years to come.” – Pope Francis This special edition of Pope Francis's popular message of hope explores themes that are important for believers in the 21st century. Examining the many obstacles to faith and what can be done to overcome those hurdles, he emphasizes the importance of service to God and all his creation. Advocating for “the homeless, the addicted, refugees, indigenous peoples, the elderly who are increasingly isolated and abandoned,” the Holy Father shows us how to respond to poverty and current economic challenges that affect us locally and globally. Ultimately, Pope Francis demonstrates how to develop a more personal relationship with Jesus Christ, “to recognize the traces of God’s Spirit in events great and small.” Profound in its insight, yet warm and accessible in its tone, The Joy of the Gospel is a call to action to live a life motivated by divine love and, in turn, to experience heaven on earth. Includes a foreword by Robert Barron, author of Catholicism: A Journey to the Heart of the Faith and James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage

At once prophetic, pastoral, and personal, this book applies the symbols of 'salt' and 'light' as ecclesiological images for reimaging the African Church for today and tomorrow. The proposal of this book is to reconsider the path towards abundant life for God's people in the challenging context of African continent, and through the agency of African Christianity. The contributors stress the necessity of de-Westernizing African Christianity and ask these fundamental questions: What is the face of Jesus inAfrican Christianity? What is the face and identity of the Church in Africa? What positive imprint is Christianity leaving on the lives and societies of African Christians? Does the Christian message have the potential of positively affecting African civilization as it once did in Europe? What is the relevance and place of African Christianity as a significant voice in shaping both the future of Africa and that of world Christianity?
