You Were Made For This
by Dan Grider
You find yourself living in your vehicle, rushing from one disconnected event to another, feeling like a captive to the on-demand virtual world. Because that’s just “normal” today. But you were not made to live in this constant spin cycle. You were made to connect with your natural circle of family, friends and neighbors where you live, work and play. What would happenif you began to rethink your suffocating, breakneck pace, and learned to slow down and live differently? You were made for more. “You were made for this.”

On the Verge
by ALAN HIRSCH
The church is on the verge of some tremendous changes. Contemporary church growth, despite its many blessings to believers, has failed to stem the decline of Christianity in the West. These times require a different kind of church—a church where every person is living a mission-sent life.The Bible uses the word apostles for Jesus’ followers—that is, people sent on Jesus’ behalf. In every existing form of the contemporary church—from the mega to the multi to the incarnational—some churches have taken the idea of apostolic mission seriously. Successful church leaders are discovering how to shift their existing resources and church structures into more adaptable forms to reach their communities.In this book, Alan Hirsch and David Ferguson share inspiring stories about leaders who have diagnosed their churches’ failure to embrace a biblical model of mission and have moved toward a fuller expression of the gospel. On the Verge will help pastors and church leaders discover how these forerunners and their insights are launching a new apostolic movement—and how any church can get involved.
