Changing Lives Through Worship, Justice and Evangelism

By: Mike Pilavachi,Liza Hoeksma

Deep down we know it: There has to be more than singing songs on Sunday morning, handing out tracts at work, or helping out at the soup kitchen. How do we integrate worship, evangelism, and justice into our lives as a whole, rather than compartmentalizing all three? Mike Pilavachi wants to see all three elements come together! With humorous prose and fascinating stories, he shows how the natural outflow of worship is telling people about Jesus, and compassionately helping them navigate the injustices of the world. We can’t invite someone to church and ignore their physical needs; nor can we give out food at the local church pantry and disregard people’s spiritual hunger. Says Pilavachi: “A life of passionate worship means feeding the hungry, standing up for those who suffer injustice…We must preach the gospel at all times, speaking and acting out God’s love to a hurt and broken world.”

No Ceiling to Hope

Stories of grace from the world's most dangerous places

By: Patrick Regan,Liza Hoeksma

Servants of Christ are in the transformation business. This kind of transformation will only happen if we refuse to be seduced by false idols like success, money, fame and security - to be the church we were called to be. We need to take ownership of the problems around us and work with people who are suffering in order to find solutions and offer lasting change. Patrick travels the globe to find examples. In Bolivia he reports how Christian backing for education projects is allowing families to find a way out of poverty. In London XLP is mentoring young people to turn aside from violence. In Los Angeles a new future is being offered to gang girls. In high security prisons in the UK and US the Spirit is turning lives around. In Belfast's Shankill Road area a group of elderly ladies is cooking meals for men who sit all day in local pubs ... the list is extensive, and inspiring. The common element is that in all circumstances Christ is offering hope. 'As Christians there is no ceiling to the hope we can bring, even when things look bleak,' Patrick says. 'Extreme poverty has been halved in the last 30 years. This book encourages and challenges the church to think and act creatively to eradicate all types of poverty and suffering.

When Grace Showed Up

One Couple's Story of Hope and Healing among the Poor

By: Tich Smith,Joan Smith,Liza Hoeksma

Tich was a South African sports star who lost it all to alcohol. Joan had recently lost her husband. Their lives were at rock bottom when grace showed up and inspired these two middle class South Africans to move past the racial prejudices of the Apartheid era and launch a ministry together. The result was Lungisisa Indlela village (LIV), the legendary residential facility that rescues children, restores lives, and raises young leaders in South Africa. This is the story of transformed lives—both theirs and the orphans—as a country begins to embrace grace and love others as Christ loves the church.

Bouncing Forwards

Notes on Resilience, Courage and Change

By: Patrick Regan

Nobody is immune from the storms of life. Patrick's book is a lifeboat while the waves are crashing but it is much more than that: Bouncing Forwards is a guide that helps us to navigate through tricky waters so that we become better equipped for the journey of life. It's an honest, wise and practical handbook for growing in resilience. I can't recommend it highly enough.' CATHY MADAVAN, AUTHOR OF IRREPRESSIBLE Bouncing Forwards offers hope to those who're facing battles such as mental or physical health challenges, bereavement, the loss of cherished dreams or recovery from trauma. Patrick Regan reveals his vulnerability as he shares that making peace with his own ongoing anxiety only came after a period of intense physical, emotional and spiritual pain. There is always the temptation to wait for the day when all will be well. Yet becoming preoccupied with the future may well mean missing out on what's happening in our lives in the here and now. Is it possible to be OK even when life isn't? Can we thrive, not just once we've come through adversity, but right there in the midst of it? Exploring resilience, acceptance and emotional agility, Patrick encourages us to believe we can find meaning in some of life's toughest moments - and the faith to journey on.

Heart to Heart: Eight Ways to Understand and Heal your Vital Connection to God

By: Ali Martin,Liza Hoeksma

What is the state of your heart? Soul Survivor's Ali Martin & Liza Hoeksma explore why Proverbs 4:23 tells us to guard our hearts above everything else. 'I have a fragile, passionate, bruised and hopeful heart. Reading this book has done it so much good!' Rachel Gardener, Romance Academy Your heart is the very core of who you are - it is fundamental to how you see yourself, your friends, your family and God. It impacts how you feel about your past, what you do with your present, and what you dream of for your future. Heart to Heart is a book to encourage young people to examine their hearts before God and to allow him to speak, and to change and heal him. It looks at how we can understand our hearts and surrender them to God to find peace, hope, fulfilment, freedom and life in all its fullness. 'The heart which the Bible understands as your mind, emotions, thoughts, longings and will is a significant place. Its health or its brokenness can shape our self-esteem, our choices, our relationships. This book is worth more than gold.' Jo Saxton, speaker, author, Director of 3DM
