Childrens Church

Do you want your children to be actively serving in the local church when they turn 30 and beyond? Why They Stay can help! Much has been written about younger adults and their departure from church involvement. Concerned parents and church leaders want to know what has caused them to depart. Instead of asking why young adults are leaving the church, Parr and Crites conducted a national research project of those who grew up in church and are still serving faithfully.

When the psalmist penned these words from King Solomon in Psalm 127:3-4 (NLT), "Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him..." the Israelites understood the essence of the meaning as a song of worship that they would sing on their pilgrimage to the Holy City. From a scholarly perspective, there is an inherent belief within this repeated refrain that there is an expectation that God's children will be treated as gifts. When this expectation is not heeded, and instead there is a breach in safeguarding our children - especially in the church - the impact and trauma are ...

In this timely and incisive book, John Bursch helps explain what the Catholic Church teaches about the human person and why modern culture's embrace of "gender ideology" is not only wrong but terribly dangerous for parents and families, female athletes, medical professionals—and especially those experiencing gender confusion.

He covers a range of topics, including how to approach the use of pronouns in the workplace.

Liar:Liar pants on fire. There are so many verses in the Bible which are not preached from the pulpit, and no wonder. If they were, churches would have more empty pews than they do now. This is an honest, and in parts, comical adaptation of some of the chapters which are deliberately missed out in sermons. I have not written this book to change the readers mind, nor to invoke hatred or violence. Nor do I dislike any religious believer, or worshiper, who believe in any of the different Gods in the World. I wrote it in the futile hope of someday understanding the conflicting viewpoints. I ...

Ted Just try and have an unusual ministry like mine these days. What’s so terribly wrong with a hug a day, huh? A non-sexual hug? Why can’t I have a non-denominational ministry based on hugs and assistance with getting back on your feet without the paparazzi tailing me, the media blasting me, and my own parishioners afraid to come out of their houses? It’s not like my church does anything other than community outreach to the poor, homeless, and those who want a leg up. The ones whose families and communities couldn’t or wouldn’t help. I’m the friend who gets them back on their ...
