Safe pasture. It sounds so inviting--and it is, for ordinary Christians and church leaders alike. If you’re a pastor, safe pasture is what your sheep long for more than anything. And if you’re a Christian whose church involvements and experiences have left you feeling curiously empty, you know how gladly you’d trade it all for a place where the grass really is greener . . . where relationships with fellow believers are deep and restorative . . . where worship flows not from techniques, but from hearts communing with God . . . where the gospel’s promises aren’t carrots on a stick, but experienced realities . . . where Jesus, the Great Shepherd, shows up in transformative ways that the corporation-CEO approach to church just can’t produce. Sound too good to hope for? Glenn Wagner has wonderful news: Safe pasture isn’t just your desire--it’s God’s. It is, and has always been, his vision for the church. Somewhere in our obsession with the big and impressive, with results-driven infrastructures and top-to-bottom ministries, we seem to have lost sight of this. But God wants to help us reclaim the kind of church where sheep aren’t merely produced, but thrive in every way. The Church You’ve Always Wanted doesn’t tell you how to "do church" more effectively--you’ve already been there and done that. Rather, this profound book will reorient your whole concept of church: the things that really matter and the things that really build hearts and lives. In part one, you’ll go in search of safe pasture and examine what church really is. In part two, you’ll take a long look at what happens in safe pasture, where people exhausted by the religious fast lane find rest, where grace and growth replace sin-management, and where God’s presence energizes true, rich Christian community. In part three, you’ll gain insights for the central, burning question: How can we create safe pasture? Filled with true-life illustrations and ringing with passion, this book is destined to become a spiritual polestar for pastors, leaders, and everyone with a heart for God’s church. Cutting through conventional wisdom and traditional assumptions, it points the way home to the church all of us so deeply desire.

The Church You've Always Wanted: Where Safe Pasture Begins

SuperSized Kids shows how the mushrooming childhood obesity epidemic is destroying children's lives, draining family resources and pushing America dangerously close to a total health care collapse -- but also explains, step by step, how parents can work to avert the coming crisis by taking control of the weight challenges facing every member of their family. For the first time in American history, a new epidemic is killing our kids. In 1960, only 4 percent of American children were considered obese. That number has skyrocketed to 15 percent today and is almost triple that number in certain ethnic groups. Staggering; is the word the U.S. Surgeon General uses to describe the potential health care costs of childhood obesity. We are seeing Generation Y growing into Generation XL, he declares. The most common health problem facing U.S. children today is being overweight -- a condition robbing kids of both their quality and quantity of life. Medical problems that doctors once saw only in adults aged 50 or older are now striking children: heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, asthma, joint problems, arthritis. One in three children born in 2000 is expected to develop Type 2 diabetes, with the risk of blindness, loss of kidney function, and early death associated with it. This is the first generation in American history whose life expectancy may actually decrease. Something has to be done, and quickly. Fad diets and self-focused weight loss plans have proven ineffective. An overweight child cannot be effectively treated in isolation of the family insisted one recent study, complaining, surprisingly few intervention programs include multiple family members SuperSized Kids is different. It shows parents how to cure the #1 family health crisis facing them today. It provides a step-by-step, medically sound and eminently doable lifestyle change program designed for the whole family. It also includes practical suggestions for impacting school and community programs as well as what government leaders can do to help.
