Many are searching for the truth but have no idea where it can be found. Others know and accept the truth of the gospel but need to grow spiritually through exposure to Gods transforming Word. This Bible study is effective for both. It can be used as a personal study or as a group study. The study starts with the foundation of salvation and then covers the many faceted subject of spiritual growth. Growing in Christ requires effort. It requires making goals. It requires commitment. This book will encourage you along that path. I have known Jim and Sherry Miller for twenty years. Sherrys love for evangelism and theology has always challenged me. I am thrilled for the body of Christ that Sherry has focused her passion for discipleship into writing. Her studies in this book will mature both the discipler and the disciple in the rich treasures of the gospel. Your questions will be answered. Your faith will find traction. Your freedom will be celebrated! Dr. Jim Newcomer, Executive Pastor, Colonial Baptist Church, VA Beach, VA and Biblical Counseling Professor, Virginia Beach Theological Seminary The Bible is both a delightful gift and an insightful counselor; it brings us genuine joy and much needed wisdom. Sherry Millers discipleship workbook is a valuable guide to help us explore the Scriptures in order to grow together in passion and insight. Dr. Peter Hubbard, Senior Pastor, North Hills Community Church, Greenville, SC
There is an increasing appreciation of the interconnections among all forms of violence. These interconnections have critical implications for conducting research that can produce valid conclusions about the causes and consequences of abuse, maltreatment, and trauma. The accumulated data on co-occurrence also provide strong evidence that prevention and intervention should be organized around the full context of individuals’ experiences, not narrowly defined subtypes of violence. Managing the flood of new research and practice innovations is a challenge, however. New means of communication and integration are needed to meet this challenge, and the Web of Violence is intended to contribute to this process by serving as a concise overview of the conceptual and empirical work that form a basis for understanding the interconnections across forms of violence throughout the lifespan. It also offers ideas and directions for prevention, intervention, and public policy. A number of initiatives are emerging to integrate the findings on co-occurrence into research and action. The American Psychological Association established a new journal, Psychology of Violence, which is a forum for research on all types of violence. Sherry Hamby is the founding editor and John Grych is associate editor and co-editor of a special issue on the co-occurrence of violence in 2012. Dr. Hamby also is a co-investigator of the National Survey of Children’s Exposure to Violence (NatSCEV), which has drawn attention to polyvictimization. Polyvictimization is a focus of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Defending Childhood Initiative and has recently been featured in calls for grant proposals by the Office of Victims of Crime and National Institutes for Justice.
Our history is filled with the stories of ordinary men and women who were raised up by God for the people and needs of their times—people through whom God did extraordinary things as they followed Jesus in the midst of his Church. In saints Who Transformed Their World, Sherry Weddell presents stories of laypeople who said "yes" to God and shared the spiritual gifts given to them by God. Be inspired by the stories of lay saints: women and men whom God has powerfully used as channels of his beauty, mercy, wisdom, healing, and provision. In these short stories, you will discover people you can relate to. Their inspirational ways of living their faith can help you to recognize your spiritual gifts and help you live every day as an intentional disciple. When each one of us faithfully answers God’s unique call in our lives, the fruit that you and I bear will be the answer to someone else’s prayer. — Sherry Weddell
