Ten years after the worldwide best seller Good to Great, Jim Collins returns with another ground-breaking work, this time to ask: Why do some companies thrive in uncertainty, even chaos, and others do not? Based on nine years of research, buttressed by rigorous analysis and infused with engaging stories, Collins and his colleague, Morten Hansen, enumerate the principles for building a truly great enterprise in unpredictable, tumultuous, and fast-moving times.

This book offers pastors examples of long-term faithfulness in ministry and practical wisdom from veteran pastors for real-life issues.

Since a global pandemic abruptly closed places of worship, many Christians have skipped church life, even neglecting virtual services. But this was a trend even before COVID-19. Polarizing issues, including political and racial strife, convinced some people to pull away from the church and one another. Now it’s time to recommit to gathering as brothers and sisters in Christ.

As the pressures of health warnings, economic turmoil, and partisan politics continue to rise, the influence of gospel-focused Christians seems to be waning. In the public square and popular opinion, we are losing our voice right when it’s needed most for Christ’s glory and the common good. But there’s another story unfolding too - if you know where to look. In Gospelbound, Collin Hansen and Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra counter these growing fears with a robust message of resolute hope for anyone hungry for good news.

Wir können die Zukunft nicht vorhersehen. Aber wir können sie erschaffen. Ungewissheit, Chaos - na und? Trotz der anhaltenden wirtschaftlichen Unsicherheit florieren einige Unternehmen, während andere scheitern. Gleichermaßen betroffen von turbulenten Ereignissen und von massiven, schnelllebigen Wirkungskräften, die wir weder Voraussagen noch beeinflussen können - was unterscheidet diejenigen, die außerordentlich erfolgreich abschneiden, von denen, die unterdurchschnittlich oder noch schlechter abschneiden?

There are many paths to lose your way. And only one way to find it. So said Jesus of Nazareth, the most compelling and controversial teacher of all time. This book aims to make sense of his counterintuitive claim: Unless we lose our lives for his sake, we will never discover our true selves. Writers from around the world tell their stories of healing and hope amid many hardships. Joni Eareckson Tada, Sam Allberry, Christopher Yuan, Aixa de Lopez, and many other contributors share how God found them amid many dangers, toils, and snares.

Probably no book published in the last decade has been so ambitious as Charles Taylor’s A Secular Age. He seeks nothing less than to account for the spread of secularism and decline of faith in the last 500 years. Now a remarkable roster of writers - including Carl Trueman, Michael Horton, and Jen Pollock Michel - considers Taylor’s insights for the church’s life and mission, covering everything from healthcare to liturgy to pop culture and politics. Nothing is easy about faith today. But endurance produces character, and character produces hope, even in our secular age.

Gospelbound, hosted by Collin Hansen for The Gospel Coalition, is a podcast for those searching for firm faith in an anxious age. Each week, Collin talks with insightful guests about books, ideas, and how to navigate life by the gospel of Jesus Christ in a post-Christian culture.

¿No es suficiente con que un cristiano siga la transmisión en vivo de un servicio de la iglesia? ¿Todavía vale la pena unirse a una congregación local? ¿En realidad es tan importante reunirse todas las semanas? ¿Por qué debería ir a la iglesia (de nuevo)? Collin Hansen y Jonathan Leeman abordan estas preguntas. Quieren ayudarte a redescubrir por qué la iglesia es tan importante. La iglesia es más que una transmisión en vivo; es una comunidad que, como pueblo de Dios, aprende a ser el cuerpo de Cristo. Necesitas a otros (y otros necesitan de ti) para ser cristiano.

Is het volgen van de livestream van een kerkdienst voor een christen niet voldoende? Is het nog wel de moeite waard je bij een plaatselijke gemeente aan te sluiten? Is het echt zo belangrijk om iedere week samen te komen? Collin Hansen en Jonathan Leeman gaan op deze vragen in. Herontdekking gaat over onderwerpen als de bedoeling van de gemeente, het belang van de preek, het lidmaatschap, de tucht en hoe we leden kunnen liefhebben die zo heel anders zijn dan wij. Jij hebt anderen nodig (en anderen hebben jou nodig) om christen te zijn.

Dans Redécouvrir l’Église locale, Collin Hansen et Jonathan Leeman expliquent pourquoi l’Église est essentielle pour les croyants et la mission de Dieu. À travers différents textes bibliques et plusieurs histoires personnelles, ils montrent aux lecteurs la véritable intention de Dieu pour les rassemblements d’Église : renforcer spirituellement les membres en tant qu’individus et en tant que corps du Christ. Redécouvrez pourquoi l’avenir de l’Église repose sur le rassemblement régulier des croyants en tant que famille de Dieu.

In centuries past, the church used catechisms to teach foundational Christian doctrines. In today’s world of shifting beliefs, this communal practice of learning biblical truth via questions and answers is more needed than ever before. Seeking to restore this ancient method of teaching to the regular life of the church, The New City Catechism Devotional is a gospel-centered, modern-day resource that not only summarizes important Christian beliefs through 52 questions and answers but also helps listeners be transformed by those doctrines.
