Future Church : Harnessing Disruption To Advance The Gospel
$19.99A Spero – Bible Media Group Title
THE WORLD HAS CHANGED.
THE CHURCH MUST CHANGE TOO–BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE.
We live in an age defined by disruption–artificial intelligence, digital tribalism, decentralization. In our posttruth culture too many leaders cling to outdated models, unsure how to engage a world that has already moved on. Is this the end–or the beginning of something new?
Terry Parkman, DMin, recognizes the opportunity within the chaos. With today’s cultural, technological, and spiritual paradigms shifting faster than ever, this moment demands more than a few tweaks. It demands transformation. In Future Church, Terry boldly calls leaders to rethink how the Church engages the next generations without diluting the Gospel. With clarity and conviction, he unpacks how leaders can ride the waves of disruption rather than drown beneath them.
This is a field guide for those ready to:
*Understand why the old maps don’t work in a posttruth, postinstitutional world.
*Reframe discipleship for the Adaptive Age without compromising orthodoxy.
*Embrace decentralization as a model, not the enemy.
*Recognize and activate the missional power of Generations Z, Alpha, and Beta.
*Build flexible, Spirit-led systems that thrive in cultural upheaval.
*Leverage disruption to serve, not silence, the Gospel.This isn’t deconstruction. It’s a blueprint for what comes next. The message hasn’t changed, but everything else must.
THE FUTURE ISN’T SOMETHING WE NEED TO FEAR. IT’S SOMETHING WE’RE CALLED TO LEAD.

Gather : Loving Your Church As You Celebrate Christ Together
$16.99Why do we meet on Sundays?
Now that technology allows us to access services remotely, many see little need to meet face to face every week. Others think that because we have a personal relationship with Jesus as Christians, church is an optional add-on. For some, they know deep down that there is a reason why gathering on Sundays is important, but they are weary and don’t feel excited about it. So what is the purpose of corporate worship, and what is our role in it?
In this book, Tony Merida highlights how in-person Sunday gatherings are central to God’s plans and to our faith and joy. He reminds believers of their privileges as citizens of heaven, members of God’s family and stones in God’s temple.
Readers will see how each part of a church service (preaching, praying, singing, baptism, Lord’s Supper and building each other up in conversations) are ways to enjoy and share God’s grace, and are therefore essential for spiritual endurance. You’ll also be reminded that your presence in corporate worship matters because you have a part to play in encouraging your brothers and sisters and spurring them to love and good deeds:
“And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” (Hebrews 10:24-25)
Read this book to renew your understanding and enjoyment of going to church and to be excited by the ways in which your presence can encourage others.

Grace Based Counseling
$16.99You speak God’s truth when you counsel. But do you also communicate His grace?
The Christian counselor or pastor plays an important role in helping people process the trauma they’ve experienced. Too often, a client leaves the counselor’s office with feelings of guilt and shame. They feel the heavy burden of what they did wrong. But somehow, they’ve missed the grace of God that makes things right again.
A counseling model that stays true to a biblical worldview will overflow with grace . . . not cheap grace, but real grace that acknowledges sin while offering a hopeful path to redemption and healing. In Grace-Based Counseling, professional counselors Richard Fowler and Natalie Ford offer a model that blends the truths of Scripture, the science of psychology, and the everlasting hope of the gospel. In this book you will find:
*New, grace-based counseling model
*Detailed application of the model, with case studies
*Practical toolbox with surveys, assessments, and counseling helpsA Christian counseling model can’t just be about admonishment. That approach only leads to shame and human efforts that are doomed to fail. But when the gospel is brought to bear in the counseling relationship, real life change is possible. Then the counselor becomes an instrument of divine grace in the hands of a faithful God.
