Showing results for "Go, Go, Go!" in Church & Church Leadership

Andy and Kara were anxious—anxious about their teenaged children approaching adulthood in a tumultuous world. Anxious, too, about their ministries; after all, as America's pews empty, the church depends on its leaders to save it. If only they could control the circumstances faced by those who depended on them, they could ensure their success. But maybe the solution isn't paving the way for our kids or our congregations. Maybe it's hiking the long road alongside them.

There are plenty of reasons to criticize, judge, and even walk away from the church. Many of us have been hurt and rejected. We may see church as insular and irrelevant. Despite this, Kevin Makins believes that the church still matters - perhaps more than ever. If you've been burned or burned out by the church, if you've been silenced or misunderstood, if you've left or never even joined in the first place, this candid, hopeful audiobook is your invitation to consider what you miss out on when you give up on church - and what the church misses out on when it gives up on you.

Die Geschichte eines tiefgreifenden Vertrauensbruchs: Eine "Zäsur in der Kirchengeschichte" - so bewertet der Historiker Thomas Großbölting den weltweiten sexuellen Missbrauch in der katholischen Kirche. In diesem Buch zeichnet er die Geschichte von Betroffenen, Tätern und Vertuschern des Missbrauchsskandals nach und analysiert die fatalen kirchlichen Strukturen, die die Taten ermöglichten. Das Buch ist damit das erste historische Sachbuch zum Thema, das Gesamtbild eines der erschütterndsten Kapitel der Kirchengeschichte und ein Anstoß für die Zukunft.
