Fools Guide To Wisdom
$21.23
Paradox is present when the opposite of what one expects to be true, is true. The capacity to see paradox is the prerequisite to becoming wise. It is expressed when the weak become strong, those who lose their life find it, and the disheartened find the Lord who uses those “things that are not-to nullify the things that are (1 Corinthians 1:28 NIV).” This work demonstrates paradox in health, medicine, business, organizational leadership, cultural myths related to the family, the symptomatic solutions common in political and social structures, and in the spirituality expressed by people of faith. As the former director of an adolescent rehabilitation facility, the author has a keen awareness of the devastation caused by the failures of this generation. Clear and concise recommendations demonstrate the small changes that create enormous differences. We will discover that wisdom begins when we ‘fear the Lord’ and have ‘knowledge of the Holy One.’ The wise see paradox, but not because they look for it. Their openness of thought leads to a perception that life is an interaction of complex systems and ideas that truly transcend us all. Those with the God-given capacity to integrate knowledge, emotion, and faith will, in the end, find wisdom. Rick Myatt is a licensed psychotherapist with an extensive history. From building an orphanage in a war-torn country to becoming the director of an adolescent psychiatric rehabilitation facility, his experience includes crisis intervention, treating sexual addictions, and caring for children victimized by the murder of parents and child prostitution. With Masters Degrees in Marriage and Family Therapy and in Theology, he has also completed all Ph. D. coursework in Family Sociology. He currently specializes in organizing his community to detect and prevent workplace violence.

Kingdom Disciples : Heavens Representatives On Earth
$18.40The missing key to Christianity in America
There is a missing key in Christianity today. It is a critical key, and its absence has led to weak believers, disintegrating families, ineffective churches, and a decaying culture. Without the full use of this key, we lack the tools needed to fully live as heaven’s representatives on earth.
That missing key is discipleship. In Kingdom Disciples, Tony Evans outlines a simple, actionable definition of discipleship to help the church fulfill its calling. Readers will learn:
*What a disciple essentially is
*What a disciple cares about
*How to be a disciple and make disciples
*What discipleship looks like in community
*What the impact of discipleship on the world should beKingdom disciples are short supply, and the results are legions of powerless Christians attending powerless churches, resulting in a powerless presence in the world. The power, authority, abundance, victory, and impact God has promised will only come about when we understand and align ourselves with His definition of discipleship.
It is the goal of this book Kingdom Disciples to call believers and churches back to our primary, divinely ordained responsibility to be disciples and make disciples. Only when we take seriously this assignment will the world see heaven at work on earth. Will you accept the assignment?
Useful for base material in a course on discipleship.
