EQUIPAR A CADA MIEMBRO DE LA IGLESIA PARA COMPARTIR SU FE EN FORMA NATURALDeclarar su dedicación al evangelismo es casi universal entre las iglesias. Sin embargo tan pocas están produciendo fruto. De hecho, la mayoría de las iglesias llegan a un tope de crecimiento o van en descenso.Evangelismo Orgánico Para Iglesias provee una guía para que las congregaciones entretejan la pasión y la práctica enfocada al evangelismo en el mismo ADN de la vida de la iglesia. El evangelismo no es simplemente enviar dinero y oraciones a misioneros o tener un comité que planea eventos ocasionales para evangelizar-aunque estas cosas son buenas. El evangelismo orgánico sucede cuando la visión y acción evangelística se convierten en el dominio de cada ministerio de una iglesia y el compromiso de cada persona en una congregación. Si estás buscando dirección para inculcar pasión evangelística a tu iglesia, ¡este es el libro! Evangelismo Orgánico Para Iglesias es una guía para crear una comunidad que aspira ayudar a otros a volverse a Dios. - Dave Ferguson, Pastor Principal, Community Christian ChurchNo hay nada más importante que construir iglesias orientadas al evangelismo, y quizás no haya mejor entrenador para ayudarte a maximizar el potencial redentor de tu iglesia como Kevin Harney. Insisto en que leas este libro. - Mark Mittelberg, co-autor, Becoming a Contagious Church

God's word never returns void. Before she was six years old, Cari Gintz found salvation in Christ, but childhood abuse, trauma sustained through legalistic religion, and an ongoing struggle with her sexual identity took a steep toll on her relationship with God. A wall of brokenness surrounded her life, encasing her within a fortress where depravity and darkness reigned. But even as Cari struggled through decades of pain and searching, a scarlet cord tethered her to God, leading to one miraculous moment that would collapse the walled fortress that kept her from realizing His full purpose for her life. Tracing her journey through darkness and back into the light of God's never-ceasing love, Cari's memoir showcases the redemptive power of the God who never lets his children go. Sensitively told, this story offers encouragement to those with family members or friends struggling with issues of sexual identity, by underscoring the power of divine possibility, the necessity of showing love to the broken, and the importance of relational, believing prayer.

Does fear of rejection hold you back from letting people see the real you? Are you tired of hiding? Gail Porter lived with this kind of fear during her childhood and most of her adult life. When God revealed her bondage to the power of fear, she was set free to come out of hiding and become who He'd created her to be. What she learned grew into a passion to help others experience the same freedom. Will the Real Person Please Stand Up? offers much-needed hope to those who long to be set free from the fear of rejection and become their authentic selves. In this life-changing book you will read Gail's own experiences, stories of real people, and input from those in the medical field. Gail walks you through the process of identifying and acknowledging what holds you captive so you can live in freedom rather than in fear. With God's help, you can walk out of your self-made prison, break strongholds, and taste the freedom that will allow you to become who God made you to be. Get ready to stand up and say, "This is the real me." "Gail teaches her readers how to embrace the present without encumbrances of the past. With practical, action-based steps, we learn to climb mountains with new determination and anticipate our futures with joy."

After Infidelity and Domestic Abuse Severs a Marriage, One Woman Finds Purpose in Her Pain. At least 60 percent of married couples will experience infidelity in their marriages, according to Dr. Willard F. Harley Jr., a licensed psychologist in Minnesota. One woman who has personally experienced both infidelity and a subsequent divorce, but in that process found purpose in her pain, is Bekah T. Baker, mom, life coach, author, and speaker. In her new release Built to Break (Redemption Press), Baker candidly shares her tumultuous journey of escaping the pit of perfectionism and people pleasing to gaining freedom and taking ownership of her life all while managing the trauma she had endured from the decisions of her husband - Trauma that almost cost Baker her life. In this raw and redemptive story, Baker tells how she found absolute healing and peace in Christ after discovering she was in a deceptive and codependent marriage. She endured years of emotional abuse, manipulation and infidelity that took a toll on her mental and physical health. However, Baker says, "It's not about what my husband did to me. It's about what God did in me." "I'm broken. You're broken. We all are. That's the point." Baker says she realized, "Our authentic life begins the moment we embrace both our brokenness and our inability to fix it on our own. Only then can we be beautifully put back together so much better than before. Just like the Japanese art form of kitsukuroi, where gold is used to repair and showcase the cracks, now our flaws and broken places are proof of our healing - Shining scars filled with the gold of God's grace." The Northwest mother of four who is a voice and advocate for women facing difficult transitions says, "This is my story--the real, redemptive, heartbreaking, beautiful, shattering, painful, joyful story. Remember, our cracks are the proof of our journey. The gold is the proof of God's grace. We were Built to Break."

“I died twice and came back to tell about it.”Michele flirted with death for six years, trying to numb her pain following a sexual pervert’s attack. Attempting to protect herself, she allowed hatred of men to control her, and used mind control to manipulate others. Suffering with acute anorexia nervosa, she was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital at age twenty-three.She woke up in hell, a place of eternal damnation, horror, torment, and fire. Rescued by the Savior whose soft, gentle voice she had rejected, Michele was given a new chance at life and turned wholeheartedly to the Lord.When her body was completely paralyzed from an anaphylactic allergy attack as a young mother, she found life leaving her body once again. “This time,” she says, “I was ushered into the splendorous glory of Heaven—a place of almost indescribable light and love.”Sent back to tell her story, Michele Pulford warns others of the horrors of the kingdom of darkness, and tells them of the glory of true abundant life in God’s kingdom of light.This personal love story, as well as a story about death and eternal life, is both a warning and a promise, and ultimately an unforgettable account of the love of God that would not let a young woman go.Too many people, including many Christians, are totally unaware of the eternal dimension of life with a Heaven to gain and Hell to shun. I trust all those who read about her [Michele’s] journey will be motivated to live a life that would assure them of a place in Heaven.                                                                                                                —Bill Hollis, CEO, marketplace minister
