If it's true that we get what we measure, can you conceive of a reality where we would put aside the archaic practice of measuring attendance and offerings, and replace it with measuring the progress of faith life at home? Now, for the first time, readers can discover what is truly happening in the homes of churchgoing people based on groundbreaking new research of over 6000 church goers across 12 denominations. - What good is our discipleship if it is not being lived and expressed at home? - What good is our evangelism if 60+% of our kids are walking away from the faith because of the hypocrisy they saw at home. - What good is our missionality if we are doing one thing in the world and another thing at home? - What good is our worship if that's all people do, spiritually, once a week? Get ready, this book is going to be revealing, challenging yet incredibly helpful in showcasing faith life at home realities church leaders have overlooked for far too long.

Have you ever wondered why Christianity is declining in America? Since the 1980's, many American congregations have been very focused on "doing church" better. A lot of effort and resources have been poured into worship and ministry programs, and they have significantly improved yet Christianity has been steadily declining. Could it be that "doing church better" is not the answer to stop the decline of Christianity in America? Could it be that we have paid too much attention to what's happening at church and not enough attention to what's happening at home? Do we care that many church goers are living, acting, dressing, behaving one way at church and a complete different way at home and as a result, children raised in those environments are later leaving the church at an all time high rate? In The Faith@Home Focused Church Pastor Holmen is going to challenge church leaders to consider three very important questions; Do we want the home to be the primary place where faith is lived and nurtured?

"Concise. Vivid. Honest." - Dan Barker, critically acclaimed author of 'Godless' and 'Losing Faith in Faith' "Brutally honest, insightful, and compelling storytelling." - Lyndon Lamborn, author of 'Standing for Something More' When a young couple searched for clues connecting them to a famous ancestor, their journey led them on a path they never expected – converting to Mormonism. House of Faith House of Cards tells the turbulent life story of their son, Eric, including all the typical Mormon experiences, and some extraordinary episodes no Mormon will ever encounter. He participated with family members in his first secret temple ritual – normally reserved for adults – at the age of four, only to be excluded from a similar ceremony, involving his family, thirteen years later. In 1857, a company of 120 immigrants set out from a small Arkansas town, toward California. In a tragic twist of fate, they never reached their destination. While encamped in southern Utah, local Mormons and Paiute Indians launched an ambush, brutally slaughtering the group, in what became known as the Mountain Meadows massacre. 125 years later, Eric would be raised as a Mormon in the same Arkansas community where this wagon train initially departed. There, he learned just how much some people still despised that faith. While training for and serving a church mission in Canada, in the mid-1990s, Eric shared a room and became acquainted with a fellow missionary named Mark Hacking. Less than a decade later, when the disappearance and murder of Hacking’s wife became highly publicized, several international media outlets approached Eric, searching for any juicy detail of the man’s troubled past. These stories are just the tip of the iceberg.

What happens to faith when Christians get dementia? Here, the unique voices of Christians who live with this illness bring insight and prompt theological reflection on the profound questions that dementia asks of faith. Within the boundaries of a biblical agenda, these questions are explored using a model of orientation, disorientation, and reorientation (reminiscent of Brueggemann's scheme), to seek deeper understanding of faith experience and practice. Arising from the research, fresh theological insights and challenges for the church call for new, creative practices to enable the faith nurture of disciples of Jesus living with this disease. Counterintuitively, the study reveals a growing, positive experience of faith in the light of dementia highlighting the significance of Christian hope. Faith does not end with diagnosis of this illness.

This visionary book from one of the most intriguing and unsettling new voices to have emerged from the churches in recent years finds life and growth in surprising places.Barbara Glasson’s widely discussed first book, I Am Somewhere Else, described ‘the bread church’, the inclusive faith community in Liverpool where people gathered to bake bread and worship God together. She has since worked with lesbian, gay and transgendered Christians, with survivors of childhood sexual abuse, with a group of disabled ministers and with other individuals and groups dealing with trauma and displacement. It is in these ‘prophetic communities’ that she has discovered new ways of understanding the transforming power of the love of God.The ‘Exuberant Church is not a church on a ‘journey’, not an ‘emerging church’, but something more explosive and unpredictable and messy, a church undergoing the strange, frightening but liberating process of ‘coming out’. In The Exuberant Church we are invited to a new way of understanding mission and the church. At a time of meltdown, reorientation and confusion, Barbara Glasson sees hope for the churches in communities sometimes seen as threatening and troubling, and in the process of ‘coming out’ something both profoundly human and deeply of God.

At age thirty, Minna Proctor, a child of the seventies and product of divorced parents—Jewish mother, Catholic father, had no religious orientation. In fact, her last “spiritual” foray was her perfunctory bat mitzvah. So when her father wants to become an Episcopal priest, Minna Proctor is flummoxed. Brought up primarily by her mother in a household without any religious expression or guidance, Proctor was surprised to learn that her charming, intellectual father had a religious life, and what’s more, a higher calling. When he is summarily turned away, Proctor delves into the Byzantine discernment process that rejected her father from the priesthood—discovering, to her surprise, how insanely difficult it is to actually become a priest—and the pivotal role that calling plays in the evaluation, both historically and to this day. What unfolds is a remarkable intellectual pursuit—a young woman’s quest to understand religious and spiritual experience, her family, and the cultural context in which she was raised. Based on lengthy conversations with her father, interviews with clergy and religious scholars, and readings of classic faith narratives from Augustine to Simone Weil, Do You Hear What I Hear? is a broad-minded and fascinating exploration of a very human phenomenon—the urge to know WHAT you are supposed to be doing with your life—in the light of cultural shifts over the last three decades, from one of the most talented young intellectuals writing today.
