Prison ministry does not end at the prison gates.  In any area of the country where there is a prison or a jail, or where ex-offenders reside, there is a need to help incarcerated men and women make a successful transition from prison to society.  These 104-page manual gives practical, Biblically-based instructions on starting such a ministry, whether through the local church, or as a separate ministry working with the local church.

There are over 2 million American citizens incarcerated in this country. Many of those people have family members or other loved ones on the outside. All of them have been adversely affected by the incarceration of the loved ones to various degrees. And those loved ones can be a tremendous help and resource for the ex-offender when he/she finally gets out of prison. But in many cases, the loved one on the outside has no clue what to do to help their incarcerated loved one. Programs seem to be scarce. Many people who are asked for help turn in the other direction. Oftentimes the person searching for help feels just as lost as the person inside the walls. This manual addresses that experience. This book is for anyone who is affected by the imprisonment, past or present, of a loved one and wants to do something to help.

God's grace and mercy may be a cliché to some people. But to others who have gone through fiery trials and been delivered by the mighty hand of the Lord, grace and mercy becomes their testimony. This book is the fascinating account of a man who was destined to spend the rest of his life in prison, but had a miraculous turnaround. Servant Wesley opens up about the pain in his life and gives an unflinching picture of the life of a criminal before Jesus came in, changed his heart and set him on the road to true recovery. "I did not ask to be delivered from prison, only from the electric chair," Wesley writes. "But through God's grace and mercy He not only delivered me from prison, but He took me from the electric chair and put me in my mother's living room chair." This powerful account will encourage and enlighten prisoners, ex-prisoners, drug abusers, and anyone caught up in spiritual bondage, and is a clear statement of the power of Jesus Christ to set any man or woman free.

You go to church for worship. You sing the songs. You drop your offering or tithe in the plate. You listen to the sermon. And you go home much the same as when you arrived. Maybe for you, the two hours you spend in church every week feels like two hours of your life wasted. Church is just an institutional ritual, far from the dynamic, prayerful, powerful church of the New Testament. However, there is hope. Receive and experience life-changing spiritual growth through this devotional that offers a challenging, informative journey back to the heart of the early church. This compelling Bible study of the book of Acts examines the mission, the leadership, and the lifestyle of the early church, with the premise that God intended for the body of Christ to be exciting and dangerous, not fixed, bored and apathetic. Through twelve weekly lessons, Carrying on the Mission of Jesus makes the case that the church is to be an alternative form of community, living in grace, service, love and compassion, and transforming the community around it. If you have ever felt disillusioned, disconnected, or unsure of your destiny in Christ, this study will help connect you back to the heart of God and to the purpose and nature of the church and those who comprise it. Carrying on the Mission of Jesus is not a safe book; it is only for those who have a genuine desire to be radical, to see a revival of Holy Spirit power, prayer, missional motivation, evangelism, and clear purpose in the church, in their lives, and in the community around them. It is for those who want to bridge the gap between what the church is now, and what the church used to be.

Carrying On the Mission of Jesus: Rediscovering the mission, identity and purpose of the church

Kingrea, J. Todd

Introverts are not weird. They are not social outcasts. They are not brooding serial killers. And they are not created to be extroverts. The author explains why introverts are created that way by God and are important in the functioning of the Kingdom of God. He examines Scriptures that support the lifestyle of the introvert, and calls upon extroverts and introverts to better understand each other to foster harmony in the church. Wallflowers in the Kingdom is yet another resounding voice in a Godly chorus designed to bring more light and vindication to the lifestyle of the introvert in the modern-day church. This guide is for the faithful Christian pressured by today’s extroverted churches to be outgoing and sociable, but is not yet ready to be the “life of the party.”

If you think your house is safe, this suspense novel will make you think twice about the sanctity of your own home. Although it is fiction, this story is based on true events that have happened to some and can happen to anyone. Jesse Kane, an assistant pastor, and his wife, Jennifer, return to the United States from a successful mission trip. They travel to Jennifer's parents' home in Tennessee to pick up their two children. When they arrive, suspicious signs in their email indicate that someone has been trying to steal their identity. They rush home to Virginia to find out what is going on. Along the way, they get a disturbing phone call from a neighbor. Someone has broken into the Kanes' million dollar home. It was not a typical, run-of-the-mill burglary. Most burglars break-in, steal and leave quickly, but these two intruders had no intention of leaving. They planned to stay. And stay for a while. The police were legally unable to help. The intruders seem to have the law on their side. The Kanes' faith is tested when these squatters refuse to relinquish their possession of the Kane house. The Kanes' effort to reclaim their home exposes them to the hard realities and deficiencies of the legal system in America. It tests their marriage when Jesse stops at nothing to get their home and their lives back, including a risky attempt to uncover a mysterious organization that may be helping the squatters. Their relationship with their friends and their children are at risk. Their ordeal forces them to realize that their once-sound faith may not be as durable as they thought. And every person in this story will be changed forever; some for better, and others for worse. Will the Kanes lose everything before they understand what truly matters?
