  Building Character

  $12.95

  Are we facing a moral crisis in today’s world? Perhaps so, judging by the daily headlines that parade the ethical failings of numerous public figures before us. It seems that more traditional role models, whether in the worlds of business, government, sports, or sadly, even the ministry, than ever are disappointing us and falling short of expectations and fostering cynicism rather than idealism. But these lapses are hardly limited to well-known people. Many surveys have made us aware of a cavalier approach to values in general, such as rampant cheating from term papers to tax returns.

  So how can we arrest this decline and instill a greater sense of “character” in our lives? “Character” is an elusive term, but we usually use it to describe the quality of a person’s inner being — their “moral fiber.” In this insightful set of meditations, E. Dale Click suggests that the way to develop character is to put God at the center of our lives. And, he points out, the Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes provide us with the blueprints to enjoying life. These essays illustrate that the timeless yet timely guides to living in God’s laws (the commandments) and his declarations (the beatitudes) exemplify all the admirable characteristics of the godly, character-filled life.

  Inner Circle (Student/Study Guide)

  $7.95

  Why did Jesus select the twelve as apostles? What did they accomplish after the resurrection? What happened to them? What can we learn from them?

  This resource provides fascinating material for reading and discussion with adult study classes during the Lenten season or as a summer study series. Discussion questions are included with each study of the twelve apostles, as well as Saint Paul.

  Click writes in a style that makes us feel we can understand what really motivates each of these apostles. While he allows for imagination and comparison with the present day, he doesn’t stray from the biblical accounts in discovering fascinating insights into the lives of these followers of Jesus.

  Labeled the “architect” of the United Lutheran Church in America’s churchwide evangelism mission, E. Dale Click practiced evangelism in his own pastorate in two suburban congregations and three central city churches. He has directed evangelism missions throughout North America, teaching thousands of pastors and lay people the meaning of evangelism. The author of four books, Click continues to serve as a consultant to numerous congregations and universities in evangelism and development as well as lecturing and preaching across the United States. He is a graduate of Wittenberg University and Hamma Divinity School in Springfield, Ohio, and furthered his education with graduate study at Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, California.

  Have You Met Jesus (Student/Study Guide)

  $12.95

  In his introduction the author asks, “If you were to describe the life of Jesus Christ, what would you say? If you were talking with a person who had never heard of Jesus Christ, who would you say He is?”

  Many church members hunger for more information about Jesus. What does it mean to call him shepherd, Savior, Lord…? How can one have a “personal encounter” with someone who cannot be seen?

  The eight chapters of this study guide will be a welcome resource for Bible students of any age during any season of the year. Some will find this helpful as a Lenten series. Others may prefer to use it as a summer series.

  Have You Met Jesus? Will inspire all who read it and will stimulate interest and discussion among those who gather to talk about it.
