Produktbeschreibung
A revolutionary love movement is circling the globe. Broken lives are being transformed and the love of Jesus is being gossiped into the most remote regions of the planet. However, in the West, the church is in decline. The brand image is broken. Christianity is not seen as radical or revolutionary and some of those who claim to be "Christian," seem to bear little resemblance to the life and teachings of Jesus. Through national and international engagement in Christian ministry, Paul Kroeker has witnessed this development firsthand. He has come to realize that "Though we thought we were rich, we are really poor, and though we thought they were poor, the international church has the riches we need to live the abundant life Jesus describes" (inspired by Revelation 3:14-22). In the Way of Jesus takes readers on a journey of renewed hope found in the person of Jesus Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit. Through personal anecdotes and biblical insights, Kroeker lays out the path of discipleship that leads to an intimate relationship with Jesus: "When someone has been with Jesus, their love becomes authentic and compelling. They eagerly share what Jesus has done for them. Their joy is infectious. They are an open book-evidence of God's love and forgiveness. Their love for one another becomes extraordinary and reveals the good news of the Kingdom of God. Brand image and reality are one and the same. This alone will lead to the awakening of the church in the West, allowing for a new tide of God's redeeming love to move across our nation and heal our land." In the way of Jesus you become a disciple who will love, live and serve like him. Love, Live, Serve like Jesus.
Autorenporträt
When you stand on a high mountain on a clear day, you can see far. Paul Kroeker's life and travel experiences have allowed him to see spiritual trends and issues others may have noticed, but not fully understood. Over a forty-year period of time, he has been involved in discipleship training and spiritual formation in a number of denominational settings. In the mid-1990s, he and his family spent three months traveling in Europe, exploring new models of spiritual formation and discipleship. This led to a number of international work assignments with intensive engagements in intercultural learning situations. As the Dean of International Programs at Canadian Mennonite University, he directed a gap year program that took students to South Africa, Guatemala, and Burkina Faso. His next assignment was with an international discipleship network called Global Disciples, where he developed new models for church planting and discipleship. Currently, he works with C2C Network, a church planting organization. His role is to encourage discipleship and church planting among new Canadians and ethnic minorities. Paul and his wife, Arlene, live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, close to their two adult children. An avid traveler, Paul loves to meet new people, experience new cultures and to integrate mentoring and discipleship into a life of adventure. It's his prayer that this book will be an encouragement for many to become authentic disciples who love, live and serve in the way of Jesus.
