51616: The Christian Life Profile Assessment Tool, Workbook

The Christian Life Profile Assessment Tool, Workbook
By Randy Frazee / Zondervan Corp.

What does a follower of Christ really look like? How do you measure success? And how do you get there? Pastor Randy Frazee believes a healthy Christian life can be summed up by what he calls "thirty core competencies," all of which take their root in Jesus' two commandments to love God and love others. There are ten core beliefs (Trinity, Salvation by Grace, authority of the Bible, plus seven), ten core practices (such as Worship, Prayer, and Bible Study), and ten core virtues (Love, Joy, Peace, and more). The Christian Life Profile Assessment Tool explores each competency in depth, and helps you answer the questions "How am I doing?" and "Where do I need to grow?" Each of four sessions will contain components such as video, lecture, leader-led discussion, large group discussion, and small group discussion. It is designed for use in a small group, but is also appropriate for use in discipling relationships or for individual use.


33089: The Connecting Church: Beyond Small Groups to Authentic Community

The Connecting Church: Beyond Small Groups to Authentic Community
By Randy Frazee / Zondervan Corp.

I once heard a pastor say that while "community is the one thing contemporary people want, it is also the thing they are least prepared to receive." He went on to discuss how: individualism has divided our communities, ambition has taught us to value competition over cooperation and our schedules leave little time to invest in the lives of our loved ones andthe common life of our communities. Randy Frazee's
The
Connecting Church identifies and develops many of the same themes, which were explored in that intriguing sermon. In The Connecting Church Frazee paints a beautiful portrait of biblical community and talks about the sacrifices we will have to make in order to experience life together. If you are ready to move beyond small groups and develop authentic community this book is required reading.
