To Begin at the Beginning

An Introduction to the Christian Faith

By: Martin B. Copenhaver

Christian faith, says Martin Copenhaver, is not a subject to be mastered like calculus or Shakespeare; it is a story to be told and a life to be lived. No matter how much or how little you know, To Begin at the Beginning tells the story of Christian faith and invites you to take part in it. In this book Copenhaver covers basic themes—the Bible, church, ministry, sacraments, prayer, ethics—in a clear and inviting way. His approach creates a valuable resource for pastors, an accessible guide for seekers and new Christians, and a "refresher course" for longtime Christians who want to engage anew with what they believe.

This Odd and Wondrous Calling

The Public and Private Lives of Two Ministers

By: Lillian Daniel,Martin B. Copenhaver

This Odd and Wondrous Calling offers something different from most books available on ministry. Two people still pastoring reflect honestly here on both the joys and the challenges of their vocation. / Anecdotal and extremely readable, the book covers a diversity of subjects revealing the incredible variety of a pastor s day. The chapters move from comedy to pathos, story to theology, Scripture to contemporary culture. This Odd and Wondrous Calling is both serious and fun and is ideal for those who are considering the ministry or who want a better understanding of their own minister s life.

Good News in Exile

Three Pastors Offer a Hopeful Vision for the Church

By: Martin B. Copenhaver,Anthony B. Robinson,William H. Willimon

With the recognition of the sweeping changes now taking place in North American society comes the realization that Protestant mainline churches no longer enjoy the status they once did. In this forward-looking contribution to pastoral theology, three leading ministers attempt to identify what has changed in various aspects of the life of the church and to trace the implications of those changes. From a perspective grounded in the realities of the parishes where they serve, Martin Copenhaver, Anthony Robinson, and William Willimon explore the particular opportunities that our new world offers the church and provide a clear picture of what a "postliberal" church can look like in practice.

Room to Grow

Meditations on Trying to Live as a Christian

By: Martin B. Copenhaver

In this collection of brief, pastoral meditations, Martin Copenhaver offers guidance on a broad range of aspects of the Christian life, covering everything from grief to Christmas gifts. With wisdom gained from his many years as a preacher, he addresses such questions as these: What does it look like the pray without ceasing ? How should we keep the Sabbath? What happens if our memory fades and we forget God? What does it mean for us to bless each other or to bless God? These gentle, wise thoughts from a renowned pastor will renew and inspire any Christians in their walk with Jesus.

Jesus Is the Question

The 307 Questions Jesus Asked and the 3 He Answered

By: Martin B. Copenhaver

Contrary to some common assumptions, Jesus is not the ultimate Answer Man, but more like the Great Questioner. In the Gospels Jesus asks many more questions than he answers. To be precise, Jesus asks 307 questions. He is asked 183 of which he only answers 3. Asking questions was central to Jesus’ life and teachings. In fact, for every question he answers directly he asks—literally—a hundred. Jesus is the Question considers the questions Jesus asks—what they tell us about Jesus and, more important, what our responses might say about what it means to follow Him. Through Jesus’ questions, he modeled the struggle, the wondering, the thinking it through that helps us draw closer to God and better understand, not just the answer, but ourselves, our process and ultimately why questions are among Jesus’ most profound gifts for a life of faith. A game-changer of a book.

Room to Grow

Meditations on Trying to Live as a Christian

By: Martin B. Copenhaver

Wise, encouraging pastoral reflections on growing in Christ "When I clothe myself with Jesus, he leaves me room to grow — which is a good thing because, God knows, I'm still growing. I put on Jesus as I would a new and ill-fitting outfit — in order that someday it might fit and be a fitting expression of who I have become." — from Martin Copenhaver's preface In this volume of rich pastoral meditations, Martin Copenhaver offers rare insight into the myriad ways we try to live the Christian life, showing us that there is indeed "room to grow" in Christ and into the Christian faith. Moving seamlessly from the gently humorous to the thoughtfully serious, these reflections will renew and inspire Christians in their daily walk.
