  Prison Break : 21 Days To Spiritual Freedom

  $19.99

  A life with Christ is about unshackling your chains of bondage to embrace a life of freedom.

  After reading this book you will understand the value of experiencing physical and psychological freedom that can only be found in Christ. You will be encouraged to uncover the root issues of your past traumas so that you can find real healing and transformation for a fruitful life.

  After experiencing the realities of a physical prison cell, Pastor Juan Martinez has made it his mission to help others find freedom in every way possible–spiritually, culturally, emotionally, psychologically, and physically.

  Encouraging life change through practical steps–such as challenging negative thinking patterns with positive affirmations and setting realistic goals–this twenty-one-day devotional helps expose the internal anxiety, faulty thinking, and traumas that put readers behind figurative or literal bars, causing them to repeatedly make bad decisions and experience relationship challenges. Readers will recognize the root causes of the psychological chains breaking them so they can reach greater personal growth. Prison Break serves as a poignant reminder that freedom is possible and shows readers that with the right mindset, they can overcome past mistakes, forgive others, be renewed by the transformation of their minds, and lead a fulfilling life.

  Churches Cultures And Leadership Second Edition

  $30.99

  We live in a culturally diverse society.

  As the church continues to heed Christ’s call to reflect the multiethnic character of his people, pastors and lay leaders need to gain skills and competencies to serve in multicultural contexts, both inside and beyond their congregations. With this book, Mark Lau Branson and Juan F. Martinez equip leaders to create environments that make God’s reconciling initiatives apparent in church life and in missional engagement with their neighborhoods and cities.

  Drawing on courses they’ve taught at Fuller Theological Seminary, Branson and Martinez take an interdisciplinary approach that integrates biblical and theological study with sociology, cultural anthropology, leadership studies, and communications. The result is a rich blend of astute analysis and guidance for the practical implementation of a deeper intercultural life for the church.

  Case studies, Bible studies, and exercises for personal and group reflection address real-life challenges and opportunities that arise in multiethnic contexts. Churches, Cultures, and Leadership offers not a static model but a praxis of paying attention, study, and discernment that can lead to genuine reconciliation and shared life empowered by the gospel.

  This new edition is updated throughout to address current trends and sources, particularly emphasizing the continuing power of racism and how churches should respond.

  What Is Gods Mission In The World And How Do We Join It

  $12.99

  What does God’s mission look like? Who is supposed to carry it out–and how?

  Juan F. Martinez and Jamie Pitts lead us on an inquiry into God’s mission in the world: what it is, what it is not, and who is invited to be part of it. If Jesus is truly God’s mission incarnate, we need to look at what Jesus did and how he did it. Martinez helps readers understand what mission means, why Christians in the past have made missteps, and how we can learn from Christian communities that are spreading the good news of Jesus today. Doing mission in the way of Jesus may look different from what many assume, but it is a call that the church cannot afford to miss.

  The Jesus Way: Small Books of Radical Faith delve into big questions about God’s work in the world. These concise, practical books are deeply rooted in Anabaptist theology. Crafted by a diverse community of internationally renowned scholars, pastors, and practitioners, The Jesus Way series helps readers deepen their faith in Christ and enliven their witness.

  *Accessible Jesus-centered theology from an Anabaptist perspective
  *Designed for use by individual readers, small groups, and Christian education classes
  *Glossary of terms and discussion and reflection questions in each volume
