You’ve made the commitment to follow Christ. A life-changing decision that was extraordinarily inspiring the moment you made it. But what happens when you return to the ’real world’ from your place of prayer-from camp, or that mission trip, or that youth conference...? Life in Christ is a journey-not a one-time, roller-coaster-high feeling. This book will help guide you in understanding common misunderstandings that we often have about our spiritual walk-misunderstandings that can become serious obstacles in our journey. Learn the beautiful simplicity of how a Christian is to grow in his or her faith. Find out how to succeed in a relationship even when you don’t feel like it. You will discover that the God who called you to begin this spiritual journey is the One who promises to always be with you-day after day. You are His and He is yours-an identity worth celebrating!

Discovering the Old Testament: Story and Faith

From the cheers for our first steps to the applause for our greatest achievement, we are bombarded with the never-ending challenge to achieve and accomplish more. Deep within us is the desire to win the prize, attain the promotion, earn someone’s love, or secure a promising future. Without realizing it we come to view ourselves as performers, evaluating our lives by how much we accomplish and what we achieve. Before we know it, life ends up passing us by.While everyone faces this never-ending cycle of performing, it is often more magnified in the life of the single adult. In order to compensate for what might be perceived as something ’missing’ in an otherwise full life, the single adult can easily get caught up in proving to the world (and oneself) that he or she does have value and is a contributing member of society--even without a spouse or children. For some single adults, life in the here and now becomes no more than an endurance test or dress rehearsal for the life that is to come once they’ve found the perfect job, the ideal place to live, or the dream marriage. By falling into the performance-driven trap, they never truly experience life.In Dancing Solo, Tim Green disrupts the performance-driven mindset by asking, ’What if life is something other than a series of disconnected achievements?’ or ’What if what we have come to call ’life’ isn’t really ’life’ at all?’ With thoughtful relevance and inspirational anecdotes, Green imparts the understanding that life cannot be earned or accomplished but is simply the good and pure gift of God. He challenges us to stop for a moment and hear--through the noisy chatter of life--the unique beat that God gives all of us, inviting us to receive, embrace, and release life in a childlike dance of wonder and awe.Dancing Solo is the perfect resource for single adults, young adults leaders

Clichés are the colorful remnants of once insightful comments grown empty through overuse. Christ followers have clichés such as ’holiness,’ ’sanctification,’ ’purity,’ ’cleansing,’ and ’Christlikeness.’ We use these phrases so frequently that we often lose touch with what they mean.Through a reflective engagement with Scripture, The God Plot invites you to move beyond these familiar clichés and participate in something much bigger: the narrative of God with its unique setting, divine call, dilemma, heightening dilemma, and resolution. You will be introduced to two dominant voices in the Bible that imaginatively and creatively unfold the plot of God: the prophetic voice and the priestly voice.Throughout The God Plot, you will be invited to leave the spectator’s balcony of familiar clichés and become participants in what God is doing in the world and desires to do in the lives of believers. Inspire your heart, engage your mind, and stir your spirit.
