Pop-science meets theology in this engaging book from Peter Haas.

Approaching Scripture with comedy, stats, and story-telling, a Minnesota minister explores some counterintuitive twists behind happiness and promotion. Diving deeper than others would dare, this gutsy writer wrestles with theological issues many leaders would avoid on Sunday.

He asks, “What if your prayers could reveal your promotability or odds of happiness?” and “Did you know some people who survive traumatic events report higher levels of happiness?” Haas’ bold goal is to increase the time and energy you and the people you know are investing in prayer, thinking, and even blogging.

Audience: Millennials and adults of any age.

The Likeable Christian A Journey Toward the Radical Love Jesus Taught Us to LiveJustin Lathrop

It’s time for a rethink. For those of us seeking to live a life that is pleasing to

God, it’s tempting to get caught up in the specifics—how to vote, which church to attend, how to do Communion. While none of these concerns are unimportant, they’re not nearly as important as the greatest command we have ever been given: Love God and love one another. That’s likeability.

Likeability isn’t easy, but in The Likeable Christian Justin Lathrop discusses ways to glorify God in our everyday lives by living more like Christ, actually doing what He did, and loving people the way He loved them. When we live like that, we can be free, because the rest is up to Him.

Cuanto más anhelemos de Jesús, tanto más nos transformará Él a nosotros y a quienes nos rodean. ¡Es momento de vivir y anhelar más!

Clear the Stage Making Room for GodScott Wilson & John Bates

Can your church be both seeker-friendly and Spirit-filled?

In Clear the Stage, Scott Wilson and John Bates share how God gave them a vision to marry these two divergent streams of church practice. You don’t have to choose between the old revivalist mentality and the more recent seeker-friendly plan. Instead, the authors present a whole new way of doing church that clears the stage so the Spirit of God can do what only He can.

Based on their own life-changing experiences, Scott and John share how you can use the sacred traditions of the Pentecostal experience to reach out to the lost while also discipling believers in a new and relevant way.

Audience: Pastors and church leaders desiring to understand the workings of the Holy Spirit in their churches.

PODER DEL ESPÍRITU

UNAIGLESIA EN EL

RELIGIÓN / Iglesia Cristiana / Liderazgo

“La iglesia de Jesucristo no es una institución como cualquier otra. No somos Google, Ford, Microsoft, ni tampoco Starbucks. Somos la iglesia de Jesucristo, que se mueve por su Espíritu, y ante la cual las puertas del infi erno no prevalecerán.”

— Samuel Rodríguez, Presidente de la Conferencia Nacional de Líderes Cristianos Hispanos

Por qué algunas iglesias crecen, algunas permanecen estancadas, y otras declinan.

Los principios de la multiplicación spiritual son evidentes en las Escrituras . . . Si

les ponemos atención. Con mucha frecuencia, los pastores y otros líderes suponen

que tienen que ser como caballos que deben halar todo el peso del ministerio,

pero esa perspectiva del ministerio agota a unos cuantos y a los demás los hace

sentir frustrados y poco productivos.

En Una iglesia en el poder del Espíritu, Alton Garrison nos dirige a la esencia del

crecimiento dinámico de la iglesia: la formación de discípulos llenos del Espíritu

que participan en las cinco actividades centrales —conectar, crecer, servir, ir, y

adorar— que infl uyen en la vida de cada persona y comunidad a través del amor

y el poder del Espíritu de Dios.

Alton Garrison sirve como asistente del

superintendente general de las Asambleas de Dios.

Además, funge como director de la Iniciativa de

Revitalización Hechos 2, que ayuda a las iglesias

a renovar su vitalidad espiritual y a alcanzar su

pleno potencial para el reino. Él es autor de Hope in

America’s Crisis [Esperanza para la crisis en América],

Building the Winning Team [Edifi que el equipo

ganador], La Iglesia de Hechos 2, y The 360° Disciple

[El discípulo 360º]. Garrison y su esposa Johanna

viven en Springfi eld, Missouri.

RELIGIÓN / Vida Cristiana / Crecimiento Espiritual

—Dr. Billy Wilson, presidente de la Universidad Oral Roberts

“La vida cristiana nunca fue diseñada para vivirla como un proyecto personal, y gracias a Dios ¡no tiene que serlo! El Espíritu Santo está aquí para otorgarnos poder y capacitarnos mientras servimos en el

propósito de Dios en nuestra generación.”

Mike es decano del Departamento de Biblia y Ministerios de la iglesia de la Universidad Southwestern de las Asambleas de Dios. Él es autor de más de una docena de libros incluidos From Belonging to Becoming [De Aceptado a transformado], Journey to Integrity [Él camino a la integridad], The Sanctity of Life [La santidad de la vida], y co-autor de Dadles lo que quieren y Edificamos gente. Mike y su esposa Kerry tienen dos hijos, dos nueras y dos hermosas nietas. Ellos viven en Dallas, Texas.

¿Quiere encontrar todo lo mejor que Dios le ofrece para su vida? Eso quiere decir que usted necesita una vida en el poder del Espíritu. Esta es una emocionante manera de vivir. Cuando vivimos en el poder del Espíritu, no sólo soñamos con complacer a Dios, aprendemos como Él puede vivir en nosotros y a través de nosotros, para que las personas que nos rodean vean más de Él, y menos de nosotros.

Citando ejemplos bíblicos y contemporáneos, Mike Clarensau nos ayuda a considerar que el Espíritu Santo puede desarrollar al máximo nuestro potencial cada día y cada momento. Cada capítulo de este libro, además de breve, está lleno de lecciones prác-ticas que nos ayudan a entrar en la dimensión del poder espiritual.

Quienes viven en el poder del Espíritu . . . ¡están dispuestos a cambiar el mundo!

The Bush Always BurnsJesus in the Unannounced Moments of LifeHeath Adamson

The Bush Always Burns introduces a Jesus all of us can seek, find, and trust in

moments that are bright and moments that are dark. Heath Adamson takes us back in time to meet an undesirable character from his youth: him at age seventeen. Adamson grew up knowing a little bit about the occult, too much about drugs, and almost nothing about God.

If you find yourself struggling to know your heavenly Father the way Heath did, The Bush Always Burns offers a life-giving reminder that Jesus is (and always has been) waiting for us to turn and see that the bush always burns and the ground is always sacred.

The Silence Always Speaks A Never-Ending Encounter with JesusHeath Adamson

When Jesus left the earth, He made a promise of power and privilege to

His witnesses. His voice still reverberates in the silence—the silence of circumstance, of uncertainty, of question, and perceived absence. Heath Adamson helps us answer tough questions such as:

• How do we know truth in a world of relativism?

• How can we find peace when we’re surrounded by uncertainty?

• What is the inseparable link between God’s sovereignty and the empowerment of the Spirit?

• What role does prayer play in God’s grand narrative?

• How does knowing Jesus through the Holy Spirit impact our identity?

A U T H O RGeorge O. Wood is general superintendent of The General Council of the Assemblies of God and chairman of the World Assemblies of God Fellowship. A former pastor, he holds a doctoral degree in pastoral theology from Fuller Theological Seminary and a juris doctorate from Western State University College of Law. He and his wife, Jewel, live in Springfield, Missouri.

Fearless How Jesus Changes EverythingGeorge O. Wood

A caring pastor and author meets with you daily in this collection of 261 inspiring

devotions. George O. Wood examines the Book of Mark while providing a Scripture passage and prayer for each day.

Wood is an engaging storyteller who shares an upbeat mini-story or vignette every day. For example, one day’s reading introduces the first grocery store owner to offer grocery carts for customers. It took time for people to accept this helpful new idea, since they had always carried everything themselves. Wood explains that our Savior does something similar for us.

We tend to carry more burdens than necessary, so the Lord reaches out and says, “Let Me do it for you.”

Audience: Adults seeking devotions with a Scripture focus along with contemporary commentary.

A Psalm in Your Heart Library EditionGeorge O. Wood

Ideal for personal reading, weekly staff devotions, or a small group study, this book

will open up the Psalms in a new way.

Author George O. Wood illuminates how our sorrows today arise from three sources constantly identified in the Psalms: hurts others have done to us, hurts we have done to ourselves, and the hurt because God—who could have spared us—let it happen. Exploring the psalms through this lens allows us to gain perspective on our own most personal needs. The studies help us invite God’s truth to provide stability, balance, and hope to our hearts.

Gold-stamped edition includes ribbon marker, Scripture columns, prayer response, and space for recording personal notes.

Audience: Adults seeking devotions with a Scripture focus along with contemporary commentary.

A U T H O RDavid Hertweck is a youth ministry worker who is passionate about helping church youth workers create and sustain disciple-making environments marked by gospel fluency, Spirit dependency, and biblical community. He and his wife, Erin, have three daughters. They currently reside in Syracuse, New York.

The Word and the SpiritDiscover How the Power of Scripture and the Holy Spirit Work Together in Your LIfeDavid Hertweck

Imagine this. One day you hear the Holy Spirit is a living Person. You wonder, “Is this

legit?” David Hertweck has the answer. As a knowledgeable Christian minister who works with youth and youth leaders on a daily basis, he could supply a quick response. Instead, Hertweck compels young men and women to dive into the Bible. Interactive questions interspersed throughout the book entice readers to keep going while also helping them feel the thrill of personal discovery. As a special bonus, this book also shares insights from other youth. They too encountered faith questions and now know the Holy Spirit in an invigorating, personal, life-changing way.

Audience: Youth and young adults who are curious about the Holy Spirit.

A U T H O RDan Betzer is the author of more than twenty books and serves as senior pastor at First Assembly of God in Fort Myers, Florida. Betzer has shared his remarkable blend of humor and Bible teaching with audiences of adults and youth via six hundred TV and radio stations in the US and worldwide.

Why Some Churches Are Blessed Putting Faith and Obedience into ActionDan Betzer

How do you grow a church? In Why Some Churches Are Blessed, you’ll learn the

one biblical principle author Dan Betzer says is the secret: Give and it will be given to you.

Dan first learned that God blesses a giving church while pastoring a church with just ninety members. With God’s direction, he encouraged the people to set a mission giving goal for the year that was totally beyond their reach. God honored their faith and they raised double the church budget! As a result, the gospel spread and the church grew.

Through generously supporting missions, phenomenal growth occurred in Betzer’s church, and it can happen in yours too.

Audience: Pastors and church leaders who want to learn how to develop remarkable missions programs.
