Quem é você? O que o define? Qual é sua verdadeira identidade? Como você responderia essas três perguntas? Saber responder corretamente pode ser a diferença entre viver uma vida de significado ou simplesmente existir. Em geral, esquecemos quem realmente somos e, por isso, buscamos preencher esse vazio com coisas passageiras, incapazes de satisfazer os anseios da alma. Até mesmo muitos que dizem "estar em Cristo" parecem não viver de modo significativo o que acreditam. Mark Driscoll explora com inteligência e sagacidade as reais implicações de sermos criados à imagem e semelhança de Deus. E revela como potencializar em realizações pessoais e comunitárias essa condição única da Criação.Descobrir ou redescobrir sua nova identidade em Cristo trará repercussões eternas. O problema fundamental deste mundo é que não entendemos quem de fato somos: filhos de Deus criados à imagem dele. Em vez disso, procuramos nos definir segundo inúmeras fontes que não Jesus. Somente quando conhecemos nossa falsa identidade à parte de Cristo e a comparamos com nossa verdadeira identidade nele é que conseguimos lidar de forma apropriada com os problemas da vida e, assim, superá-los. Mark Driscoll é fundador da Mars Hill Church, uma das igrejas americanas mais inovadoras, em Seattle. Ele e sua esposa, Grace, têm cinco filhos.

It’s tempting to believe that the Christian faith is alive and well in our country today. Our politicians talk about God. Our mega-churches are filled. Christian schools dot our landscape. Brace yourself. It’s an illusion. Believe it or not, only 8 percent of Americans profess and practice true evangelical Christian faith. There are more left-handed people than evangelical Christians in America. In this book, Mark Driscoll delivers a wake-up call for every believer: We are living in a post-Christian culture—a culture fundamentally at odds with faith in Jesus. This is good and bad news. The good news is that God is still working, redeeming people from this spiritual wasteland and inspiring a resurgence of faithful believers. The bad news is that many believers just don’t get it. They continue to gather exclusively into insular tribes, lobbing e-bombs at each other in cyberspace. Mark’s book is a clarion call for Christians. It’s time to get to work. We can only do this if we unite around Jesus and the essentials found in his Word, while at the same time, appreciating the distinctives within each Christian tribe. Mark shows us how to do just that. This isn’t the time to wait or debate. Join the resurgence.

In this concise book, one of America''s most influential pastors puts forth a model of church leadership that is both biblically sound and practically effective. Part of the Re:Lit A Book You''ll Actually Read series.

Pastor Mark Driscoll answers the one question you need to ask: Who am I in Christ? Being a Christian can be like driving in a foreign city. You try living on the straight and narrow but instead take a wrong turn onto the wide avenue of sin and temptation. In the process, you become discouraged and condemned, limping along in your faith—or giving up altogether. But this isn’t the real Christian life. You can make a U-turn. Pastor Mark Driscoll knows that the issue of our identity underlies our struggles in life. “The fundamental problem we have in this world,” he says, “is that we don’t understand who we truly are—children of God made in His image—and define ourselves by any number of things other than Jesus.” Who are you in Christ? Among other things you are a saint, you are blessed, you are saved, you are afflicted, and you are heard. These are a few of the fundamental truths that Pastor Mark explores in his in-depth study of Ephesians, the Who Do You Think You Are? DVD-Based Study. Team Study Pack includes: -Daily Devotions 112 devotions based upon the theme of each chapter for your personal use or family worship. -Small Group Study A 16-week study designed to help you and your small group explore your identity in Christ together. -Women''s Ministry Study A 16-week inductive study of the book of Ephesians for women''s ministry leaders and participants. -Student Ministry Study A 16-week study for student leaders and students. Intended for use with the Who Do You Think You Are? trade book and Who Do You Think You Are? DVD Sessions. Additional copies of the DVD can be purchased under ISBN 9781938805028.

Pastor Mark Driscoll and his wife, Grace, talk about sex and marriage in down-to-earth terms, hitting issues other Christian books won''t. While a wonderful wedding day is important, it''s the last day of marriage that really counts. Will the last day of your marriage come prematurely through divorce? Will it be filled with regrets as you sit at the funeral of your spouse? Or, by God''s grace, will the last day be a day to rejoice in the life you lived together? Pastor Mark Driscoll and his wife, Grace, want you to finish well on the last day. In this interactive DVD-based study, they share private and painful issues that damaged their own marriage-including his introduction to pornography in elementary school and her abuse as a teenager at the hands of a boyfriend-and how they overcame them to experience healing and joy with each other again. Together they tackle the tough issues, such as: Should I confess my pre-marital sexual sin to my husband/wife? Is it okay to have a "work husband/wife"? Can I say no to my husband when I really do have a headache? What does the Bible say about masturbation and oral sex? From fun date night tips to the most tricky "can we do that?" sex questions, Mark and Grace share practical help and hope with people just like them-who entered marriage a complete mess-or who are planning to be married someday and want to avoid some sticky pitfalls.

El pastor Mark Driscoll y su esposa, Grace, hablan sobre sexo y matrimonio en un tono realista, con temas que no abordan otros libros cristianos. En Matrimonio real, el pastor Mark Driscoll y su esposa, Grace, comparten temas privados y dolorosos que afectaron su propio matrimonio, el contacto que tuvo él con la pornografía en la primaria y el abuso sexual que sufrió ella en la adolescencia por parte de un novio y cómo lo superaron hasta cicatrizar sus heridas y poder volver a disfrutar entre sí. Juntos abordan temas difíciles, como: ¿Debo confesarle a mi cónyuge el pecado sexual cometido antes del matrimonio? ¿Está bien tener un “cónyuge laboral”? ¿Qué dice la Biblia sobre la masturbación y el sexo oral? Desde consejos para tener una cita entretenida hasta las preguntas más delicadas sobre “¿podemos hacer eso?" Mark y Grace ofrecen una ayuda práctica y dan esperanza a personas que viven circunstancias similares a las de ellos, que llegaron al matrimonio hechos un desastre, o que están planeando casarse algún día y no quieren caer en la trampa.

This is the story of the birth and growth of Seattle’s innovative Mars Hill Church, one of America’s fastest growing churches located in one of America’s toughest mission fields. It’s also the story of the growth of a pastor, the mistakes he’s made along the way, and God’s grace and work in spite of those mistakes. Mark Driscoll’s emerging, missional church took a rocky road from its start in a hot, upstairs youth room with gold shag carpet to its current weekly attendance of thousands. With engaging humor, humility, and candor, Driscoll shares the failures, frustrations, and just plain messiness of trying to build a church that is faithful to the gospel of Christ in a highly post-Christian culture. In the telling, he’s not afraid to skewer some sacred cows of traditional, contemporary, and emerging churches. Each chapter discusses not only the hard lessons learned but also the principles and practices that worked and that can inform your church’s ministry, no matter its present size. The book includes discussion questions and appendix resources. “After reading a book like this, you can never go back to being an inwardly focused church without a mission. Even if you disagree with Mark about some of the things he says, you cannot help but be convicted to the inner core about what it means to have a heart for those who don’t know Jesus.”—Dan Kimball, author,The Emerging Church “... will make you laugh, cry, and get mad ... school you, shape you, and mold you into the right kind of priorities to lead the church in today’s messy world.”—Robert Webber, Northern Seminary

In his distinctively edgy, yet theologically sound style, Pastor Mark Driscoll addresses the nine most controversial questions posed by visitors to the Mars Hill Church website. Part of the Re:Lit series.

This book defines a biblical church as one that properly balances the eternal truths of Scripture with timely, relevant methods designed to engage the culture. The book in the popular Re:Lit series picks up where Vintage Jesus leaves off, beginning with a focus on the person and work of Jesus and then exploring the confessional, experiential, and missional aspects of his church. This study grows out of the vintage concept of taking timeless truths from Scripture -- truths about church leadership, preaching, baptism, communion, and more -- and blending them with aspects of contemporary culture, such as multi-campus churches and the latest forms of technology, to reach people with the gospel. While Vintage Church is helpful for pastors and church leaders, it is the kind of book you could hand to someone who has questions about ecclesiology but finds the very term ecclesiology intimidating. The authors put forth twelve practical questions about church doctrine and answer them in clear, biblical language that lay people and new believers can understand. - Publisher.

The MSEB, with generous support and encouragement from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, seeks to bring discussion of assessment to school-and district-based practitioners through an initiative called Assessment in Practice (AIP). Originally conceived as a series of "next steps" to follow the publication of Measuring Up and For Good Measure, the project, with assistance from an advisory board, developed a publication agenda to provide support to teachers and others directly involved with the teaching and assessment of children in mathematics classrooms at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. In a series of three booklets, AIP presents an exploration of issues in assessment. The first booklet, Learning About Assessment, Learning Through Assessment discusses ways to assist teachers in learning about assessment and how student work can be a rich resource in professional development. The second, Assessment in Support of Instruction, makes a case for aligning assessments with state and district curriculum frameworks and examines ways in which states have shifted their curriculum frameworks and related state assessment programs to reflect the NCTM Standards and other perspectives. The third booklet, Keeping Score, discusses issues to be considered while developing high quality mathematics assessments. This series is specifically designed to be used at the school and school district level by teachers, principals, supervisors, and measurement specialists.
