|  New Arrival |  Deep & Wide: Creating Churches Unchurched People Love to Attend
Andy Stanley
Retail Price: $24.99
CBD Price: $16.49
( In Stock )
Excerpt
Drawing candidly on the origins and experiences of North Point Community Church, Andy Stanley's Deep & Wide explains how to create a vibrant, sustained, and growing community that strongly appeals to people with little or no church background.
Deep & Wide shows how North Point wishes created a weekend experience where even those most skeptical unbelievers wanted to return simply because the message they heard was so compelling, and the people they met so authentic. At the center of this effort, according to Stanley, is his appeal to "dual audiences" in his sermons that draws in listeners but never "dumbs down" content.
This approach also led North Point to create a dynamic spiritual formation program which emphasized teaching, community, and environment. Here, Stanley explains that teaching is made accessible in the church, but it is also a part of a larger church culture into which anyone may step. The emphasis is on creating a community of depth and openness which make everyone feel welcome within the church-even the first time they visit. Finally, for those willing to take their church through the process of growing Deep & Wide, Stanley includes a chapter on how to transformation your church, while emphasizing the importance of nurturing current believers and bringing new people into the church.
This book is an ideal resource for a church staff to read together. It is equally valuable for individual leaders, program directors, and all leaders in the church to consider for their own ministries. Stanley brings together effectively two approaches that are often considered irreconcilable and has given leaders a road map wherein any church can be Deep & Wide.

 Destinations/Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Andy Stanley
Retail Price: $25.00
CBD Price: $17.99
( In Stock )
Excerpt
We all have places we want to end up in life. Yet the paths we choose often lead us way from our intended destinations. One poor decision-an unhealthy relationship, a bad career choice, a foolish investment- can send us down the wrong road, crushing our dreams and wasting years of our lives. As time passes, we look back wondering how we got off course, and how we can recover from broken dreams. In the four-part series Destinations, Andy Stanley examines the disconnect between our dreams and the paths we take to reach them-that our direction, not our intentions, determines our destinations. Then, in the two-part series Boulevard of Broken Dreams, we learn how we should react when our dreams can't ever come true. In these two series, Andy challenges us to ask the questions: Where am I headed? and Who is in control?

 It's Personal
Andy Stanley
Retail Price: $25.00
CBD Price: $17.99
( In Stock )
Excerpt
You don't have to understand everything to believe in something... This powerful series is directed to men and women who desire a personal connection with God, but who have genuine questions, doubts, and concerns. In his creative and casual style, Andy Stanley makes a case for the fact that adults don't become followers of Christ by getting all their questions answered. In most instances, something happens that shrinks those questions. and that something is always personal. If there are obstacles that make it difficult for you to embrace the message of Jesus, or if circumstances have derailed your confidence in God, you may walk away with the feeling that this series was designed specifically for you. And perhaps it was. After all, it's personal

El temor, el desánimo, la soledad, el enojo, la tentación. Todos los seres humanos enfrentan estas luchas. Sin embargo, no todas las circunstancias o las emociones negativas se originan dentro. Podrían ser el resultado de un asalto premeditado y coordinado de Satanás. En Cuando el Enemigo Ataca, el doctor Charles Stanley, conocido autor de varios éxitos de librería, explora la realidad a menudo pasada por alto de la guerra espiritual, es decir, las tácticas que usa Satanás para provocar, confundir, difamar y dañar. Su adversario quiere destruirlo, retardar su promesa, obstaculizar su destino, destruir sus relaciones, y llevarlo a pecar. En este libro se nos revela cómo debemos responder. La batalla es inevitable, ¡pero cobre aliento! Dios le ha dado la fuerza para permanecer firme. Fear, discouragement, loneliness, anger, temptation. These struggles are common to every human. Yet not all circumstances or negative emotions originate within. They could be the result of a willful, coordinated assault of Satan. In When the Enemy Strikes, best-selling author Dr. Charles Stanley explores the often-overlooked reality of spiritual warfare--the tactics used by Satan to taunt, confuse, slander, and harm. Your adversary wants to crush your will, delay your promise, hinder your destiny, destroy your relationships, and lead you into sin. Dr. Stanley reveals how you should respond. The battle is unavoidable, but take heart! God has given you the strength to stand.
