Rise Of The Nones (Reprinted)
$21.00The single fastest growing religious group of our time is those who check the box next to the word none on national surveys. In America, this is 20 percent of the population. Exactly who are the unaffiliated? What caused this seismic shift in our culture? Are our churches poised to reach these people?
James Emery White lends his prophetic voice to one of the most important conversations the church needs to be having today. He calls churches to examine their current methods of evangelism, which often result only in transfer growth–Christians moving from one church to another–rather than in reaching the “nones.” The pastor of a megachurch that is currently experiencing 70 percent of its growth from the unchurched, White knows how to reach this growing demographic, and here he shares his ministry strategies with concerned pastors and church leaders.

To be fully human is to think. The apostle Paul calls us to “take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ” (2 Cor 10:5). But James Emery White fears that Western Christians are failing in this task. Because we have not developed good intellectual habits, our minds instead have been captured by our culture. A Mind for God is written to help us break free from this cultural captivity through the spiritual and intellectual disciplines of reading, study and reflection. This inspirational and practical “rule for the mind” encourages and enables us to develop our minds for God. Includes book lists and resources so you can “grow your brain.”Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

What They Didnt Teach You In Seminary
$20.00In churches today, there are ever fewer older pastors speaking into the lives of younger leaders, and fewer younger leaders feeling there is much to be learned from the experience of their elders. Street-smart wisdom is gone from training as there are many men and women preparing pastors who have never themselves pastored a church. Intriguingly, even older, more seasoned pastors yearn for insight into their task, as they remain “undiscipled” in the school of leadership.
In What They Didn’t Teach You in Seminary, veteran pastor James Emery White provides the kind of mentoring young pastors desperately need but cannot get from academia or leadership books. These “from the trenches” insights will help them transform their relationships with staff and parishoners, develop healthy boundaries, deliver hard truths, avoid spiritual pitfalls, use their time effectively, and much more.

Long Nights Journey Into Day
$17.99On any spiritual pilgrimage, Christians face tremendous challenges to their faith not just from outside forces, but from their own inner struggles. Pastor White (Life-Defining Moments; Rethinking the Church) convincingly argues that the historical seven deadly sins still occupy a prominent position in most Christians’ lives. White describes these pitfalls in a disarmingly personal style that will leave no reader feeling immune to these common human frailties. Specifically, White expounds upon journeying from anger to restraint, sloth to diligence, gluttony to moderation, envy to security, greed to contentment, lust to self-control, pride to humility. His success in communicating the seriousness of each of these pitfalls is balanced with his pastoral heart, which emanates sincerity and care throughout this solid, if not particularly riveting, read. His suggestions on dealing with anger, for example, are helpful but familiar. White tells readers to defuse anger by accepting that things will not always go their way, realizing that no one else causes another person’s anger, and celebrating the fact that it is possible to rule their own emotions. Overshadowing every caution and cure described here is White’s undimmed confidence in the power of Christ to aid those followers who desire to know God more fully and are thereby freely and joyfully transformed.

A Clear Biblical Response to The Same Sex ControversyIn the guise of tolerance, modern culture grants “alternative lifestyle” status to homosexuality. Even more disturbing, some within the church attempt to revise and distort Christian teaching on this behavior.
The authors write for all who want to better understand the Bible’s teaching on the subject, explaining and defending the foundational Bible passages that deal with homosexuality-including Genesis, Leviticus, and Romans. Expanding in these Scriptures, they refute the revisionists’ arguments-including the claim that Christians today need not adhere to the Law. In a straightforward and loving manner, they appeal to those caught up in a homosexual lifestyle to repent and return to God’s plan for His people.
