Designed to be used individually or in a small group, Forty-Sixty identifies 10 significant issues many people in their 40s, 50s and 60s face as they experience midlife. Gentzler and Miller help individuals understand the problems of midlife and suggest ways to cope constructively. Each chapter explores a midlife issue and includes a Bible study guide to enable the reader to draw upon God's word and wisdom for direction and meaning. Issues addressed in this study include # Myths and realities # Children, parents, and grandchildren # Pre-retirement and work # Relationships # Aging parents # Losses # Life-long learning # Spirituality # Death and the afterlife # Giving back to the community As you study this guide, may you realize that you are not alone in your journey. Aging affords each of us an opportunity to grow in faith, wisdom, understanding, and the ability to witness to others our faith in Jesus Christ. Many books have been written about how to age successfully, but it is important for each of us to find our own way. Forty-Sixty will help in that journey.

Forty-Sixty: A Study for Midlife Adults Who Want to Make a Difference

The Millennial Generation is on the verge of a key moment in its life. By 2006 we will see a youth boom larger than any of the youth booms of the past. Fueled by the largest generation the world has ever seen, this youth boom will shape the values and trends for the next 20 years. Perhaps the greatest challenge facing the church today is to be God’s witness to our children and young people — to make God real for this new generation. 
Making God Real for a New Generation begins with an article entitled "Who Are the Millennials?" that gives an overview of some of the key characteristics of Millennials and issues they are facing. Following this introduction are four sections, each section focusing on how congregations and families can be witnesses for this generation. 
(1) "Millennials and Their Families" focuses on the life cycle of Millennials and the impact families have on their values, beliefs, and futures. 
(2) "Millennials and Their World" looks at key issues Millennials face in their day-to-day living at school, home, and church. 
(3) "The Spirituality of Millennials" paints a picture of a generation seeking God in many ways — perhaps not radically different from previous generations but in ways that challenge us to ask, "What are we doing to partner with young people in finding God?". 
(4) "Models for Ministry" suggests some key ways congregations can create opportunities to be in ministry with Millennials. (2003)

NextChurch.Now Revised Edition states that the primary evangelistic strategy for the 21st century is the creating of disciple-making faith communities.

New with this updated edition is a DVD ideal for training leaders in key concepts from the book.

Nextchurch.Now: Creating New Faith Communities

Sanctuaries that once were filled with 300 people of all ages now have 30 in worship attendance. The youngest attending may be sixtysomething. The non-denominational church meeting across town in former commercial property is growing as fast as they can add folding chairs. Some of your own members may be a part of that group. Things have changed. But opportunities abound for the United Methodist Church and other mainline denominations. 7 Myths of the United Methodist Church looks at the attitudes and assumptions that keep the church from fulfilling its call to build discipleship-making faith communities. The myths challenge leaders to create environments of grace for people disconnected from the local church. ""When we face our current reality, we'll be able to move forward to recover more movement than institution, more grace than despair, more courage than fear and more life than death,"" writes Miller. ""I invite you to join in a conversation about the future of the church. ...Change will not happen until we are willing to share our hearts and listen with compassion to the deep-seated hopes and fears that we live with every day."" Miller includes writings from pastors who are making a difference for God in their communities. The essays break down the myths, present the realities and celebrate the vision of those who are revitalizing congregations and building new ones. Contributors include: Duane Anders, Daniel Chang, Bau Dang, Joe Daniels, Dottie Escobedo-Frank, Rob Huckaby, Linda McCoy, Rudy Rasmus, Vance Ross and David Simpson. Join these effective, progressive church leaders as they explore the compelling need to connect with the world as it is. As in times past, the church will ""co-create with the culture to bring the message of Christ to the world,"" fulfilling the Gospel call.
