&lt;p&gt;Traducido por Julio R. Vargas Vidal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Los autores comparan seis etapas del desarrollo espiritual con la playa y el océano, las cuales son ilustradas con las enseñanzas y el proceso de hacer discípulos y discípulas de Jesucristo. Dichas etapas abarcan desde cuando la persona no ha tenido un encuentro personal con Jesucristo, hasta llegar a la madurez cristiana y, ¡boga cada vez mar adentro! El libro ofrece, además, un mapa estructural que incluye cada aspecto de la vida de la iglesia, el cual puede ser usado por cada congregación en su propio contexto.&lt;/p&gt;

Las puertas se cierran apresuradamente, las llamadas telefónicas terminan abruptamente y los correos electrónicos quedan sin respuesta.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Después de todo, ¿no es una tarea que debería realizar el pastor?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tal vez sea el momento de reexaminar el modelo de evangelización de Juan Wesley como un ciclo completo y natural, en el que se trata de un punto de partida común en lugar de un final solitario.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;El motivo central del evangelismo auténtico es: Habiendo recibido un mensaje que ha marcado la diferencia en nuestras vidas, deseamos compartir ese mensaje con otras personas con la esperanza de que también transforme sus vidas. Wesley modela un evangelismo que se extiende y da la bienvenida, invita y nutre, y habla tanto a la razón como al corazón.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;«El evangelismo es relacional», escriben los autores. «Cómo nos relacionamos con Dios, que es capaz de transformarnos en seres nuevos. Cómo estamos en relación con nuestro prójimo, al que debemos amar como a nosotros mismos».&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Como dice un crítico «Knight y Powe nos han dado un libro para relacionarse. Describen la profunda conexión entre los pensamientos de Juan Wesley, los himnos de Carlos Wesley, el pensamiento erudito sobre la evangelización y la comprensión bíblica del evangelio, todo ello en relación con las necesidades, preocupaciones y esperanzas de «la gente de a pie».&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Aprenda por su cuenta o como grupo congregacional de este estudio práctico sobre cómo vivir una vida evangelística que demuestre el poder transformador de amar a Dios y al prójimo.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;La evangelización transformadora. La manera wesleyana de compartir la fe: Guía para el liderato facilitador del curso&lt;/em&gt;, por Henry Knight III y F. Douglas Powe, también está disponible aquí.&lt;/p&gt;</description><pubDate>Fri, 20 May 2022 15:30:09 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">https://store.upperroom.org:443/product/la-evangelizacion-transformadora-3</guid></item><item><title>For the Common Good</title><link>https://store.upperroom.org:443/product/for-the-common-good-3</link><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;For the Common Good&lt;/em&gt; reminds us that the Holy Spirit gives each Christian one or more spiritual gifts to be used for the common good. It guides readers to discover their own particular gifts and learn to use their gifts to serve others.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;p&gt;Examining key passages in Paul's writings, author Christine Harman leads readers through a personal spiritual gift assessment. She names 20 distinct spiritual gifts—including discernment, compassion, and evangelism—and helps people explore scripture references on each one. After identifying their particular gifts, clergy and laypeople will learn how to apply them for the good of their church, community, and the world. This book is ideal for both group study and self-discovery. The book also includes suggestions for how to build a ministry team or assign people to committees based on the gifts of each individual.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;This book is the text for a Lay Servant Ministries advanced course on spiritual gifts. It also can be used for a small-group study.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://bookstore.upperroom.org/Products/PDFDR961/for-the-common-good.aspx"&gt;A Leader's Guide is available for this book.&lt;/p&gt;</description><pubDate>Fri, 20 May 2022 15:30:01 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">https://store.upperroom.org:443/product/for-the-common-good-3</guid></item><item><title>Launching a New Worship Community</title><link>https://store.upperroom.org:443/product/launching-a-new-worship-community-2</link><description>&lt;p&gt;For many churches, the call to make disciples comes with a realization that the church's current worship opportunities do not reach certain groups in their surrounding community. New worship services offer the most promising strategy for renewing established churches and planting new worship communities. In a post-pandemic world, churches will be challenged to reach new people with the gospel and to help them meet in a way that is meaningful to them.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Accessible to ministry professionals and lay leaders, &lt;em&gt;Launching a New Worship Community&lt;/em&gt; is a comprehensive guide to starting a new worship community—whether that means an established church beginning a new worship service or a church startup designing its first worship offering. The authors, writing with a team of church planting experts, provide practical advice rooted in solid academics, theology, and real-world experience. With this guide, readers will have the tools they need to begin and sustain a new worship community.&lt;/p&gt;</description><pubDate>Fri, 20 May 2022 15:29:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">https://store.upperroom.org:443/product/launching-a-new-worship-community-2</guid></item><item><title>Leadership is Discipleship 2021 (Korean)</title><link>https://store.upperroom.org:443/product/leadership-is-discipleship-2021-korean</link><description>&lt;p&gt;LID 2021 리더십저널의 주제는 &amp;lsquo;교회의 미래&amp;rsquo;이다. 이 저널을 통해 교회의 벽을 넘어서 세상 속에서의 교회 역할을 고민하며 다음과 같은 질문을 하며 그 답을 함께 찾아가기 바란다. 현대 사회가 안고 있는 문제에 대한 기독교 책임과 대응, 치유와 회복의 길은 무엇인가? 인종 차별, 성차별, 반이민, 종교 분쟁 등 현대 사회가 안고 있는 문제에 대한 기독교의 책임과 대응, 평화 회복의 길은 무엇인가? 다인종, 다문화, 다종교 사회에서의 갈등과 도전 속에 우리의 정체성 형성과 미래 목회는 어떻게 펼쳐야 하는가? 아시안과 흑인, 왜 편견과 왜곡과 반목의 문화가 생겼는가? 백인 우월주의는 무엇인가? 흑인 생명은 소중하다(Black Lives Matter)는 무엇을 말하는가? 이민 교회는 무엇을 하여야 하는가? 차별과 분열의 세대에 기독교의 소명과 부름은 무엇이고, 평등과 평화와 존엄성 회복은 어떻게 이뤄져야 하는가? 차별 금지와 교회의 태도는 어떠해야 하는가? 기독교와 교회는 사회와 어떻게 소통해야 하는가? 인터넷과 비대면 초연결 시대의 변화는 무엇을 말하는가? 가상 현실과 비대면 문화에서 교회의 역할은 무엇이고, 어떻게 사역해야 하는가? 교회의 역량이 왜 미약해지는가? 교회 지도력 상실과 부재의 원인은 무엇인가? 미래 교회로 나아가기 위한 모델은 무엇인가? 미래 교회를 위한 교회론을 어떻게 정립할 것인가?&lt;/p&gt;</description><pubDate>Fri, 20 May 2022 15:29:47 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">https://store.upperroom.org:443/product/leadership-is-discipleship-2021-korean</guid></item><item><title>Ready, Set, Plant</title><link>https://store.upperroom.org:443/product/ready-set-plant-2</link><description>&lt;p&gt;When one reads through the New Testament, it's evident that the practice of planting churches began two thousand years ago. Today's culture, community, and connections differ greatly from the churches Peter and Paul helped build. Even in the past 20 years, those factors have dramatically changed the ministry of church planting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In &lt;em&gt;Ready, Set, Plant&lt;/em&gt; Bener Agtarap and Curtis Brown provide tools for planting churches—looking at the spiritual, social, and economic aspects of the process. Creating new church bodies requires redefining priorities and practices. Yet one thing that never changes is that the mission must be God's mission.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ready, Set, Plant&lt;/em&gt; raises questions about church planting that every new church community must address: Why? Who? How? What? Where? When? Agtarap and Brown provide a broad range of answers to each question.

This text also primarily targets the 18- to 26-year-old demographic, recognizing that many students in the United States may fall outside this age range.)&lt;/p&gt;</description><pubDate>Fri, 20 May 2022 15:29:24 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">https://store.upperroom.org:443/product/campus-ministry</guid></item><item><title>A Manual of the United Methodist Church - Our Discipline and Social Principles (Korean)</title><link>https://store.upperroom.org:443/product/a-manual-of-the-united-methodist-church-our-discipline-and-social-principles-korean-2</link><description>&lt;p&gt;연합감리교회 교리와 사회원칙을 설명하기 위해 만들어진 "우리는 무엇을 믿는가?"는 연합감리교회의 교리와 신앙고백을 중심으로 우리의 교리적 유산, 기준과 총칙, 그리고 신학적 과제를 짧고 분명하게 이해할 수 있도록 엮었다. 또한 연합감리교회의 사회원칙과 사회신경을 함께 다루면서 교리적 선언이 단순히 마음과 생각에 머무는 것이 아니라 삶과 사회원칙으로 이어져 사회, 정의, 평등, 경제, 정치, 문화, 노동, 환경, 세계 등 우리가 직면한 이슈들에 관해 성서적이고 신학적인 해석에 바탕을 둔 연합감리교회의 선언을 알아보고 실천적 삶에 적용하도록 하였다.&lt;/p&gt;
