Algunas personas ven el trabajo social de la iglesia local como el patito feo de nuestra fe; como algo que se debe hacer pero que nadie quiere hacerlo. Aun mas, hay quienes consideran que este tipo de ministerio no es necesario y que eltrabajo de ofrecer ayuda social le corresponde al gobierno y a otras agencias no gubernamentales pero nunca a la iglesia. Por estas razones, en este libro presento las bases y los fundamentos necesarios para responder a estas formas de pensar y tratar de cambiar la percepcion de que el objetivo de la iglesia es solamente espiritual, sin ninguna implicacion social. De la misma manera, espero que las sugerencias y metodos aqui presentados sean utiles para desarrollar ministerios de accion social que sirvan para aliviar las necesidades y sufrimientos de nuestro pueblo hispano y de la gente pobre y vulnerable que se encuentra en las comunidades a las cuales ministramos.
Some people see the social work of the local church as “the ugly duckling” of our faith; something that should be done but no one stepping forward to do it. Others look to our state and local governments handle this work. Written in Spanish, this book presents the basics to respond to these methods of thinking, and to attempts to change the perception that the objective of the church is only spiritual, without any social responsibility. Suggestions and methods are presented to equip social action teams to aid the needs and sufferings the Hispanic community and the vulnerable and poor of our communities.

Dirty Little Secret
$18.99This is the story of a young pastor’s journey to help those inside the world of porn. Pornography has reached epidemic proportions in our culture and in our churches. As a youth pastor in Southern California, Craig Gross noticed two recurring themes among those he cared for-a struggle with pornography and a lack of action from the church. Boldly and courageously, Craig decided to address the root of the problem by going directly to the source. As he spent time with those in the porn industry, he discovered these people weren’t the enemy-they just needed to meet Jesus. In The Dirty Little Secret Craig takes his readers on a journey through his ministry, XXXchurch.com, a website devoted to fight porn. As he meets people in the industry and those addicted to porn, Craig shows us a very real, human face-the face of our brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, pastors, and friends. His experience created in him a passion to reach the hurting and abandoned in all dimensions of life-physical, emotional, and spiritual. Craig’s story may inspire the same thing in you.

10 Commandments Of Progressive Christianity
$7.99A cautionary look at ten dangerously appealing half-truths.
In 1923, J. Gresham Machen, then a professor at Princeton Seminary, wrote his classic text, Christianity and Liberalism. The book was a response to the rise of liberalism in the mainline denominations of his own day. Machen argued that the liberal understanding of Christianity was, in fact, not just a variant version of the faith, nor did it represent simply a different denominational perspective, but was an entirely different religion. Put simply, liberal Christianity is not Christianity.
What is remarkable about Machen’s book is how prescient it was. His description of liberal Christianity–a moralistic, therapeutic version of the faith that values questions over answers and being “good” over being “right”–is still around today in basically the same form. For this reason alone the book should be required reading, certainly for all seminary students, pastors, and Christian leaders.
Although its modern advocates present liberal Christianity as something new and revolutionary, it is nothing of the sort. It may have new names (e.g., “emerging” or “progressive” Christianity), but it is simply a rehash of the same well-worn system that has been around for generations.
The abiding presence of liberal Christianity struck me not long ago when I came across a daily devotional from Richard Rohr that listed ten principles he thinks modern Christianity needs to embody. These ten principles are actually drawn from Philip Gulley’s book, If the Church Were Christian: Rediscovering the Values of Jesus. In that devotional series, ironically titled “Returning to Essentials,” Rohr sets forth the ten principles as a kind of confessional statement of modern liberalism (while at the same time pretending to deplore confessional statements). They are, in effect, a Ten Commandments for progressive Christianity.
Indeed, these ten sound like they were gathered not so much on the mountaintop as in the university classroom. They are less about God revealing his desires and more about man expressing his own–less Moses, more Oprah.
But take note: each of these commandments is partially true. Indeed, that is what makes this list, and progressive Christianity as a whole, so challenging. It is a master class in half-truths that sound appealing on the surface until you dig down deeper and really explore their foundations and implications. Benjamin Franklin was right when he quipped, “Half the truth is often a
