New Releases by STEPHEN KENDRICK

Jesús comenzó su ministerio diciendo: «Ven, sígueme» y lo terminó diciendo: «Id y haced discípulos». Entre estos dos desafíos, sus seguidores aprendieron que podían confiar completamente en Él en cada área de sus vidas. ¿Deseas entender que significan las palabras de Jesús con «¿Ven, sígueme», o lo que significa «haced discípulos»? ¿Alguna vez has sido discipulado personalmente? ¿Deseas caminar más cerca de Jesús, pero desearías que alguien te mostrara cómo? ¿Cómo puede tu fe convertirse en una relación próspera en lugar de un deber religioso? ¿Cuáles son las claves para tener seguridad de salvación, permanecer en Cristo, orar eficazmente, superar las pruebas y amar profundamente a los demás? Devoto a Jesús es un recurso emocionante para todo el que desea crecer espiritualmente y convertirse en un seguidor completamente apasionado de Jesús. Ese es el deseo del equipo de The Love Dare y The Battle Plan for Prayer, y de los productores cinematográficos de La Forja y Cuarto de Guerra. Repleto de 52 capítulos temáticos, ideales para lectura diaria o semanal, y presentado con una claridad refrescante, Devoto a Jesús está diseñado para ayudar a los creyentes nuevos y maduros a crecer juntos. Esa será la oportunidad perfecta para tu propio provecho espiritual e invertir en el crecimiento de otros. «Muchas personas primero aprendieron a ser Sus discípulos, luego Jesús ayudó a otros a ser hacedores de discípulos... y ahora tú también lo harás.» Jesus began his ministry by saying, «Come, follow me», and ended it by saying, «Go and make disciples». Between these two challenges, his followers learned they could completely trust Him in every area of their lives. Do you want to understand what Jesus’ words «Come, follow me» mean or what «make disciples» means? Have you ever been personally disciplined? Do you want to walk closer to Jesus but wish someone would show you how? How can your faith become a thriving relationship instead of a religious duty? What are the keys to having assurance of salvation, remaining in Christ, praying effectively, overcoming trials, and loving others deeply? Devoted to Jesus is an exciting resource for anyone wanting to grow spiritually and become a passionate follower of Jesus. That is the wish of the team behind The Love Dare and The Battle Plan for Prayer, and the film producers of The Forge and War Room. Packed with 52 thematic chapters, ideal for daily or weekly reading, and presented with refreshing clarity, Devoted to Jesus is designed to help new and mature believers grow together. That will be the perfect opportunity for your spiritual benefit and to invest in the growth of others. «First, they learned to be his disciples, then he helped others to be disciple-makers. . . and you can too.»

Jesus começou seu ministério dizendo: “Venham, sigam-me”, e o concluiu dizendo: “Vão e façam discípulos”. Entre esses dois desafios, seus seguidores aprenderam que podiam confiar completamente nele em todas as áreas de suas vidas. Da equipe de escritores dos livros de O Desafio de Amar e O Plano de Batalha para a Oração, e dos produtores do filme A Forja, Quarto de Guerra e Prova de Fogo, chega um recurso emocionante para qualquer pessoa que deseje crescer espiritualmente e se tornar um seguidor fervoroso e comprometido de Jesus. Você já foi discipulado pessoalmente? Deseja se aproximar mais de Jesus, mas gostaria que alguém lhe mostrasse como? Como sua fé pode se tornar um relacionamento dinâmico em vez de um dever religioso? Quais são as chaves para a certeza da salvação, permanecer em Cristo, orar com eficácia, superar provações e amar profundamente os outros? Repleto de cinquenta e dois capítulos temáticos — ideais para leitura diária ou semanal — e apresentado com clareza renovadora, Dedicado a Jesus foi desenvolvido para ajudar, tanto novos quanto cristãos maduros, crescerem juntos. Esta é uma jornada que você primeiro desejará experimentar por si mesmo e, em seguida, utilizar para investir na vida de outras pessoas. Eles aprenderam primeiro a ser seus discípulos, depois ajudaram outros como formadores de discípulos . . . e você também pode.

Os estudantes de hoje são constantemente atraídos para uma vida de confusão e crenças superficiais. Mas Jesus Cristo os chama para algo maior do que tudo o que este mundo pode oferecer. Ele oferece a vida eterna que inclui um relacionamento vivo com Deus, um compromisso radical com a verdade, e uma vida de amor, compaixão e propósito. Uma vida radical que importa tanto agora quanto na eternidade. Conte Comigo guia os estudantes através de todo o Evangelho de Lucas e do convite ousado de Jesus para segui-Lo diariamente, obedecê-Lo fielmente e confiar Nele completamente. Os capítulos se concentram em oito elementos importantes do discipulado, desde o estudo das Escrituras até compartilhar Jesus com outras pessoas. Os estudantes serão desafiados com questões como: • Eu valorizo os relacionamentos certos? • Tenho uma perspectiva saudável das minhas coisas terrenas? • Permito que tentações e pecados bloqueiem meu crescimento espiritual? • Tenho um plano para manter minha vida intencionalmente fundamentada em Cristo? Incluindo perguntas de reflexão e guias de debate, este livro pode ser usado facilmente por leitores individuais ou em estudos em grupo. Os estudantes devem sentir-se inspirados a realizar um estudo mais profundo das Escrituras e desafiados a levar a sério o chamado de Cristo ao discipulado em suas próprias vidas. Assim como Jesus escolheu jovens seguidores no primeiro século Ele convida a geração de jovens de hoje a segui-Lo agora. Conhecê-Lo, amá-Lo e fazê-Lo conhecido. Entregar-se e colocá-Lo em primeiro lugar em todas as áreas da sua vida. Fazer parte da mensagem Dele e da Sua missão às nações. Conte Comigo vai encorajar os estudantes a ouvirem o incrível chamado de Jesus e a viverem corajosamente sua fé todos os dias.

Qual é o seu livro ou série de filmes favoritos? E o seu programa de TV favorito que está há muito tempo no ar? Provavelmente, você se identifica com pelo menos um personagem e com sua trajetória narrativa. As melhores histórias oferecem múltiplas oportunidades para entender diversos personagens e seu desenvolvimento. A Forja não é exceção. Você está sendo influenciado pela constante mudança da cultura global, sem dar muita importân-cia ao plano perfeito que Deus tem para você? Você é um Isaías? Você é como o pai sincero, direcionando toda a sua esperança em alguém que você ama, ansiosamente esperando que eles vislumbrem o evangelho? Você é uma Cíntia? Você é um cristão experiente que se sente chamado a usar sua vida, incluindo suas dores, para investir na jornada de outra pessoa? Você é um Josué Moore? É bem provável que você se identifique com aspec-tos de todos esses personagens. Enquanto os detalhes da vida de Cíntia, a mãe solteira dedicada, e de Isaías, história, há um elemento de cuidado dentro dessa pequena família com o qual todos nós podemos nos identificar. Enquanto os detalhes do caminho que o Sr. Moore percorreu para desenvolver uma comunidade de discipulado podem ser diferentes de qualquer coisa que você tenha experimentado, há aspectos importantes de sua liderança que a igreja tem em falta. O chamado para ser discípulos e fazer discípulos é o tema central de A Forja e deste estudo coordenado. Durante as cinco semanas de encontros em grupo, você examinará os ensinamentos de Jesus e as aplicações na igreja primitiva para construir um quadro para o discipulado. Cada sessão inclui um clipe do filme como uma introdução para estudar as Escrituras e examinar um conceito específico. Acompanhando cada semana de estudo bíblico em grupo, há três oportunidades devocionais para que você continue crescendo por meio do estudo pessoal. Ao longo do caminho, você será desafiado a refletir sobre como foi forjado como discípulo, buscar novas formas de crescimento e esperar com expectativa investir significativamente em discipulado em outras pessoas no futuro.

El Estudio bíblico de cinco sesiones de la película La Forja, incluye video clips de la película, una guía para el líder, estudio personal entre sesiones grupales, instrucciones de cómo utilizar el estudio, consejos para guiar un grupo y más. Este estudio utiliza clips destacados de la nueva película de los hermanos Kendrick, La Forja, para encender una pasión por conocer a Cristo personalmente, seguirlo sacrificialmente, obedecerlo voluntariamente y ayudar a otros a convertirse en discípulos de Cristo. Si Jesús dedicó Su tiempo a caminar con Dios y formar discípulos, ¿no deberíamos hacer lo mismo? En Su sabiduría, Jesús, invirtió profundamente en las vidas de doce hombres. Los vio, los llamó, les enseñó, los salvó y luego los envió al mundo para dar testimonio de lo que Él había hecho por ellos. El mundo no necesita otra estrategia, necesita hombres y mujeres que estén dedicados a Jesús y comprometidos a ayudar a otros a conocerlo y seguirlo a través del discipulado de por vida. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION THE FORGE Movie Bible Study Book with Video Access includes printed content for five sessions, a leader guide, personal study between group sessions, applicable Scripture, "How to Use This Study," tips for leading a group, and more. Also, each Book contains unique codes that enable you to access videos for each session. Jesus focused His time and attention on walking with God and making disciples. Shouldn''t we? In His wisdom, He chose to invest deeply in the lives of twelve men. He saw them, called them, taught them, saved them, then sent them into the world to bear witness to what He had done for them. This five-week small group study uses featured clips from the new Kendrick brothers'' movie, THE FORGE, to ignite a passion for knowing Christ personally, following Him sacrificially, obeying Him willingly, and helping others become disciples of Christ. The world doesn''t need another strategy, it needs men and women who are devoted to Jesus and committed to helping others know and follow Him through lifelong discipleship.

Today’s students are constantly pulled toward a life of confusion and half-baked beliefs. But Jesus Christ is calling them to something greater than anything this world can offer. He offers eternal life that includes a living relationship with God, a radical commitment to truth, and a life of love, compassion, and purpose. A radical life that counts now and in eternity. Count Me In walks students through the entire Gospel of Luke and Jesus’s bold invitation to follow Him daily, obey Him faithfully, and trust Him completely. Each of the eight chapters focuses on an important element of discipleship, from studying Scripture to sharing Jesus with others. Students will be challenged with: • Do I value the right relationships? • Do I have a healthy perspective of my earthly stuff? • Do I let temptation and sin block my spiritual growth? • Do I have a plan to keep my life intentionally grounded in Christ? Including reflection questions and discussion guides, this book can easily work for solo readers or group studies. Students should feel inspired to take on a deeper study of Scripture and challenged to take Christ’s call of discipleship seriously in their own lives. Jesus chose young followers in the first century and invites today’s generation of young people to follow Him now. To know Him, love Him, and make Him known. To surrender and put Him first in every area. To be a part of His message and His mission to the nations. Count Me In will engage students to hear the amazing call of Jesus and to boldly live out their faith every day.

Jesus started His ministry saying, “Come, follow Me,” and finished it by saying, “Go, make disciples.” Between these two challenges, His followers learned they could trust Him completely with every area of their lives. From the writing team behind The Love Dare and The Battle Plan for Prayer, and the movie producers of The Forge and War Room, comes an exciting new resource for anyone who desires to grow spiritually and become an on-fire, all-in follower of Jesus. Have you ever been personally discipled? Do you desire to walk closer to Jesus but wish someone would show you how? How can your faith become a thriving relationship instead of a religious duty? What are the keys to assurance of salvation, abiding in Christ, praying effectively, overcoming trials, and deeply loving others? Packed with 52 topical chapters—ideal for reading daily or weekly—and presented with refreshing clarity, Devoted to Jesus is designed to help both new and mature believers grow together. This is a journey you’ll first want to experience yourself and then utilize to invest into others. They first learned to be His disciples, then helped others as disciple-makers . . . and so can you.

Go from being a believer in Christ to a true disciple that is wholly surrendered to His ways and will.

Learn to devote yourself to Jesus and follow Him through lifelong discipleship.

"[A] masterly and often riveting account of King’s ordeal and the 1960 ''October Surprise'' that may have altered the course of modern American political history." —Raymond Arsenault, The New York Times Book Review (Editors'' Choice) The authors of Douglass and Lincoln present fully for the first time the story of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s imprisonment in the days leading up to the 1960 presidential election and the efforts of three of John F. Kennedy’s civil rights staffers who went rogue to free him—a move that changed the face of the Democratic Party and propelled Kennedy to the White House. Less than three weeks before the 1960 presidential election, thirty-one-year-old Martin Luther King, Jr. was arrested at a sit-in at Rich’s Department Store in Atlanta. That day would lead to the first night King had ever spent in jail—and the time that King’s family most feared for his life. An earlier, minor traffic ticket served as a pretext for keeping King locked up, and later for a harrowing nighttime transfer to Reidsville, the notorious Georgia state prison where Black inmates worked on chain gangs overseen by violent white guards. While King’s imprisonment was decried as a moral scandal in some quarters and celebrated in others, for the two presidential candidates—John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon—it was the ultimate October surprise: an emerging and controversial civil rights leader was languishing behind bars, and the two campaigns raced to decide whether, and how, to respond. Stephen and Paul Kendrick’s Nine Days tells the incredible story of what happened next. In 1960, the Civil Rights Movement was growing increasingly inventive and energized while white politicians favored the corrosive tactics of silence and stalling—but an audacious team in the Kennedy campaign’s Civil Rights Section (CRS) decided to act. In an election when Black voters seemed poised to split their votes between the candidates, the CRS convinced Kennedy to agitate for King’s release, sometimes even going behind his back in their quest to secure his freedom. Over the course of nine extraordinary October days, the leaders of the CRS—pioneering Black journalist Louis Martin, future Pennsylvania senator Harris Wofford, and Sargent Shriver, the founder of the Peace Corps—worked to tilt a tight election in Kennedy’s favor and bring about a revolution in party affiliation whose consequences are still integral to the practice of politics today. Based on fresh interviews, newspaper accounts, and extensive archival research, Nine Days is the first full recounting of an event that changed the course of one of the closest elections in American history. Much more than a political thriller, it is also the story of the first time King refused bail and came to terms with the dangerous course of his mission to change a nation. At once a story of electoral machinations, moral courage, and, ultimately, the triumph of a future president’s better angels, Nine Days is a gripping tale with important lessons for our own time.

Who Are You? I am who God says I am. I can do what God says I can do. I can become exactly what God says I can become. You are a miracle.

Defined Bible Study Book includes content for eight sessions, personal study between group sessions, applicable Scripture, "How to Use This Study," tips for leading a group, a leader guide, and a family-discipleship page. When you introduce yourself to someone for the first time, you have an opportunity to define yourself. You disclose your name, profession, and interests. These factors help our culture define us, but are those answers enough? People are struggling in ten thousand ways because of identity issues. They can''t help but ask, who am I? and why do I matter? Can our culture really provide meaningful answers to those questions, or do we need something deeper and more significant? Before asking, who am I? we need to be able to answer, who is God? If we can''t answer the first question, we will never answer the second. The problem with our search for identity is that we are looking in all the wrong places. Scripture teaches that we are all made in the image of God. We do not define ourselves--the Creator does. We were all created to be known and loved by God. Once those answers are clear, we can move forward and discover all God has called us to be. Session topics: 1. Uniquely Created by God 2. Uniquely Broken by Sin 3. Transformed by the Gospel 4.
