Dr. Green recognizes the growth crisis and addresses this book directly to it. He knows the American church well. He speaks to real conditions. Wasting no time on superficial considerations and easy diagnosis, he identifies thirty-fuive reasons "Why Churches Die" and proposes remedial action for each. His proposals are biblical and will be welcomed by dedicated Christians of every denomination. This creative and optimistic book should be widely read by lay leaders and ministers. It is part of the wave of tomorrow. --From the Foreword by Donald A. McGavran

Why Churches Die

The restoration of a positive Protestant spirit that produces a personal commitment to the basic tenets of the Christian Faith and a spirit of cooperation are required to make Christianity viable. In addition to the problems of name brand Christianity and freeze frame theology, One Lord, One Faith and One Baptism have become 300-plus divisions with hostile leaders, competing agendas, and opposing methodologies. Leaders must take the initiative to bring renewal and restoration to local congregations and make evangelism and missions central to the local programming

At lasts, a book that attempts to understand and overcome the difficulties that block communication with Muslims with guidelines for sharing faith in dialogue rather than monologue. It faces squarely the thorny questions of the Cross, the Son of God, The Gospel of Barnabas, and Intermarriage with Muslims, plus many others. This book shares the common ground needed to overcome the communications barrier with Muslims.

Dialogue and Interfaith Witness with Muslims

Register, Ray G.

Discipleship is based on discipline. Discipline is a system of rules affecting conduct or action, and implies instruction and correction that improves, strengthens, molds, and perfects character. No summary does justice to the wealth of meaning in the teaching of Jesus; however, the simple truths were a basic message to mankind: love God, follow Christ, and enjoy His blessings!

Discipleship

The failed structures and adventures of the past may be instructive for the present and predictive for the future. Church growth follows natural laws and the relationship formula [R= n X (n-1) >?] holds the key to managing growth. When growth challenges the ability to serve the needs of all the people -- growth becomes a liability. The things Protestants complained about Catholicism are being replicated in super-sized churches today!

Titanic Lessons

From both a theological and a psychological perspective, this book examines the destructive, damning nature of sin-whether against God's law or in violation of one's own adopted moral code. It examines three dozen destructive "defense mechanisms" commonly used to avoid feeling guilty. Then it examines common barriers to forgiveness and the healthiest way of coping with guilt feelings. You will come away from this book with better understanding how to help others and/or yourself.

Damned If We Are Not Forgiven

Learn the skills of critical thinking and the all-important art of logic. Are faith and logic compatible? Can God be the sovereign and individuals still have a free will? Dr. Brian Shelley explores these questions and more, with a pastor's heart and a professor's mind. Examining what the Bible truly teaches about the choices we make, Shelley reveals how to apply this lexicon of logic to the everyday problems of life.

The difficulty in understanding the written word is not the vagueness of the composition, but the elusiveness of the author. A basic problem in understanding an author’s words relates to the language and culture. When words or thoughts are translated from one language and a particular culture to another the meaning changes. These changes often go unnoticed and individuals apply a current definition to the words. In fact the meaning of words is in people. This could be the reason English/European students read authors rather than subjects. Knowing the orientation of the author and the background, philosophy, and purpose of the composition increases the understanding of the written document. So rooted in the earliest awareness of a need for knowledge and the continuing search by generations of thinkers, the systematic process of investigation emerge, in spite of the hurdles of vested interests and lack of support from the general populous. The present concept of scientific methodology began to form during medieval times and developed into a full body of concepts and constructs in the modern age. As humans wrote down their observations, the effort to understand what was written began. To understand and interpret different aspects of human existence, various groups of scholars began to devise different schemes, but all used the basic methods of inquiry.

History & Criticism

A big question of history "What if Jesus remained in the Tomb?" is answered. This book describes more that fifty specific social and political improvements brought about by the influence of Christianity. Through the years, Christianity has not only pointed society to the meaning of Life, it has influenced every aspect of living; from education and democracy to the very themes written into the Constitution of the United States. The followers of Jesus were transformed before the crucifixion, but real change began after He emerged from the tomb.
