Temptation in the Desert (Participant's Book, Being… by M. Craig Barnes

The story of Jesus' temptations in the wilderness after his baptism offers important instructions for us as we consider our Christian life. This study discusses ways the temptations that Jesus faced are still real for us today. An excellent study for the Lenten season or any time in the church year.

We currently have one copy of the participant's book. Additional copies and Leader's guides can be purchased at rel="nofollow" _target="_top">https://www.pcusastore.com/Pages/Item/15808/Being-Reformed-site-page.aspx .… (more)

This is a pretty good reminder: who's in charge, why we are not in charge, and how we need to let it go!

The Pastor as Minor Poet: Texts and Subtexts in the… by M. Craig Barnes

Barnes discusses two major points in his book, The Pastor as Minor Poet. In part one of his book, Barnes states that the pastor must know his identity in the church. In part two, Barnes makes the case that the pastor must know not only the Bible well but his congregation too. Both must be carefully studied and understood if the pastor is to show Jesus to his congregation and open the door for life change to take place. It is an easy and enjoyable read. Well worth the time.
