Chris Lowney, a former Jesuit seminarian turned Managing Director for JP Morgan \u0026amp; Co., shows how the pope’s words and deeds reveal spiritual principles that have prepared him to lead the Church and influence our world—a rapidly-changing world that requires leaders who value the human need for love, inspiration, and meaning. \u003cbr\u003eDrawing on interviews with people who knew him as Father Jorge Bergoglio, SJ, Lowney challenges assumptions about what it takes to be a great leader.

Following up on the bestselling Hurt: Inside the World of Today's Teenagers, this new addition to the Youth, Family, and Culture series explores the much-needed skill of Cultural Intelligence (CQ), the ability to work effectively across national, ethnic, and even organizational cultures. While rooted in sound, scholarly research, Cultural Intelligence is highly practical and accessible to general readers. It will benefit students as well as guide ministry leaders interested in increasing their cultural awareness and sensitivity. Packed with assessment tools, simulations, case studies, and exercises, Cultural Intelligence will help transform individuals and organizations into effective intercultural communicators of the gospel. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEXCERPT\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat do you do when you encounter someone who isn't like you? How do you feel? What goes on inside you? How do you relate to him or her? These are the kinds of questions we want to explore in this book. Few things are more basic to life than expressing love and respect for people who look, think, believe, act, and see differently than we do. We want to adapt to the barrage of cultures around us while still remaining true to ourselves. We want to let the world change us so that we can be part of changing the world. And we want to move from the desire to love across the chasm of cultural difference to the ability to express our love for people of difference. Relating lovingly to our fellow human beings is central to what it means to be human. And when it comes down to it, Christian ministry at its core is interacting with all kinds of people in ways that give them glimpses of Jesus in us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe billions of us sharing planet Earth together have so much in common. We're all born. We all die. We're all created in the image of God. We eat, sleep, persevere, and care for our young. We long for meaning and purpose, and we develop societies with those around us. But the way we go about the many things we have in common is deeply rooted in our unique personalities and cultures. So although we have so much in common, we have as much or more about us that's different.\u003c\/p\u003e Publishers Weekly \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis engaging book seeks to tackle the challenges of cross-cultural interaction in the context of Christian ministry. Livermore, an expert in intercultural studies, urges his readers to \"become more multicultural people so that we might better express love cross-culturally.\" While most works on cross-cultural ministry seek to teach their readers about other cultures they may encounter, Livermore's book contends that preparation for cross-cultural ministry depends on an inward investigation and transformation. This is what he calls developing one's Cultural Intelligence quotient, and the book explores the knowledge, interpretations and behavior one must develop to heighten one's CQ. While grounded in both theory and theology, the strength of this book comes from the many vignettes from Livermore's personal experience in such places as Singapore, India and Cambodia. Questions throughout and a self-assessment test in the appendix give the book an interactive feel, drawing the reader into self-examination and application of the book's lessons. Though the book is written for Baker's youth ministry series, all who are interested in the question of cross-cultural ministry will profit from its information and advice. \u003ci\u003e(Feb.)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

It's essential for the most productive ministry that will accomplish God's goals for building his kingdom. Ministry leaders with a clear picture from God of where they are headed are much more likely to experience a successful journey. In this book, Barna uncovers how God has shared his vision throughout history, how vision is different from mission, common practices and beliefs that inhibit true vision, practical steps toward experiencing and carrying out God's unique vision for them, and ways to share and promote congregational ownership of the vision.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReligion \u0026amp; Spirituality\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChristian Books \u0026amp; Bibles\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChurches \u0026amp; Church Leadership\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003ePastoral Resources\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Baker Books","offers":[{"title":"Used - Very Good","offer_id":45261902282942,"sku":"0801077958-3","price":20.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/81GpD73qOcL.jpg?v=1754083808"},{"product_id":"1400208661-get_your_life_back_everyday_practices_for_a_world_gone_mad","title":"Get Your Life Back: Everyday Practices for a World Gone Mad","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eNew York Times Bestselling Author John Eldredge Provides A Practical, Deceptively Simple Blueprint For Utterly Retaking Control Of Your Life.

All members of the church were involved in worship, spontaneously breaking out with teaching or song as they were moved. Decisions were not made until everyone reached consensus. There were no official leaders or elders, but there were men who served and taught and helped others, thus leading by example. Viola believes that to bring the church back on track, both clergy and denominations must be completely abolished. Churches should not have buildings nor should they worry about doctrinal statements. Such radical ideas will best be received by Emergent and postmodern readers. Skeptics will cringe at Viola's strident tone and all-or-nothing approach. More concrete examples of what Viola has seen work well in his 20 years of house church work would have greatly strengthened the book. \u003ci\u003e(Aug.)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

This includes not only believers in God, but those who eschew religion, reject God, explore the spiritual terrain, or are just plain confused. After all, Martin writes, the Ignatian way is about \"finding freedom,\" and the Jesuit founder wanted it to be available to everyone, not only members of his community. Martin provides a brief history of Ignatius and the Jesuits, followed by a how-to that covers prayer in its various forms; the Jesuit vows of chastity, poverty and obedience; friendship and love; discernment; and finding a life path. Readers familiar with the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius-an ordered set of spiritual themes and practices-and other facets of Jesuit life will find this rather elementary, but Martin has done a creditable job of making the Ignatian way relevant to a contemporary audience. \u003cbr\u003eCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
