Описание: The stories of LGBT+ Christians are not untold, but have often been unheard by faith leaders and communities. While so much of the conversation about LGBT+ inclusion has focused on theology and ideology, few have actually interacted with the raw, real stories and experiences of LGBT+ Christians. In this volume, LGBT+ Christian activist and theologian Brandan Robertson has brought together stories of LGBT+ Christians from around the world combined with his theological insights to create a powerful book that will challenge, convict, and inspire readers from all theological backgrounds to examine their posture and message toward the LGBT+ community and embrace the revival that the Holy Spirit is igniting among queer Christians around the world. ""While the institutional church persisted in a narrative of exclusion, LGBT+ Christians gave Christian communities the quiet, persistent grace of their presence, their gifts, and their love. Now they add grace to grace by sharing the intimacy, vulnerability, and power of their stories, narratives of God's embrace. Here we have an opportunity to listen and hear anew God's resounding 'yes' to these siblings who have too often been told 'no' by human voices. In hearing, we have a fresh occasion to add our amen to God's declarations of love."" --J. R. Daniel Kirk, Pastoral Director, Newbigin House of Studies ""Our Witness is a must read My congratulations to Brandan Robertson for bringing together a beautiful collection of stories . . . some heart breaking . . . some heartwarming . . . but all showing our need and God's desire for a fully inclusive church for all God's children. Because I believe strongly that stories can change hearts and minds I see God's light shining brightly through the lives of each and every one of these brave people. People who so willingly and beautifully articulate and share their stories to help foster hope, peace, and life for so many others."" --Jane Clementi, Co-Founder, The Tyler Clementi Foundation ""This compilation of LGBT Christian stories clearly shows how loving, faithful people have been excluded by bad theologians who continue to put forth bad theology. It shows the alarming effects: depression and even suicide. Brandon has taken all his and others' pain and put forward a positive theology. And perhaps most importantly, he states and explains why 'homosexuality is not a sin' . . . and that is critical to save vulnerable lives, be true to the spirit of Christian values, and make our world a better place . . . for everyone "" --Mitchell Gold, Co-Founder, Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams ""Our Witness is a breath-taking, essential look at faithful Christians working to be the body of Christ even as Christians marginalize and reject them. I was moved to tears even as I was filled with hope--these folks represent the best of our faith."" --Mike McHargue, host of The Liturgists Podcast and author of Finding God in the Waves ""The stories of witness which Christians have told, but which have not been heard, typify much of Christian history. The sad but powerful words of witness in this book are a sign of the gospel which allows LGBT+ voices to be heard. They offer an urgent message which needs to be heeded by Christians in this and every generation."" --Christopher Rowland, Professor of the Exegesis of Holy Scripture Emeritus, University of Oxford ""Brandan's new book, Our Witness, continues his tradition of moving the Church forward in its acceptance of LGBTQ individuals and being the inclusive institution that it is meant to be. Brandan challenges us readers to listen to voices that we may never have heard before. Their stories are extremely powerful and have the ability to shift people's paradigms. I pray that many church leaders will read its pages and be transformed. It would benefit the Church and the world."" --David W. Key, Sr., National Board Chair, Association of Welcoming and Affirming Baptists ""This is a tremendous collection of dee

Описание:

The deeper I grow in my own faith as a Christian, the greater my desire to explore. My faith whets my appetite for discovering what God is doing in and through the world each and every day. This book is a chronicle of some of the most important lessons I have learned thus far. I write to encourage my fellow nomads who, like me, so often feel alone in their wanderings yet are a part of a much larger caravan of fellow wanderers seeking to discover for ourselves the meaning and mysteries of life. Part-autobiography, part-Christian spirituality, Nomad offers penetrating insight into the minds of the new generations of progressive evangelical followers of Jesus in the global Church. Themes include community, war, redemption, wonder, grace, sexuality, and the Eucharist.

Описание: This book is about the how of project management and about how you as a project manager can use a proactive attitude to stay in control, even during difficult situations. It shows you how to become an influencer of the path to the end result, of your environment, of your team and of your effectiveness.Today`s project managers have to meet high expectations. Challenging goals, a strong focus on cost management and lead times, serving the interests of different stakeholders and many dependencies between subprojects make project management an increasingly complex affair - especially in an environment where change and uncertainty have become the new norm. In addition, the creative abilities of knowledge workers have to be optimally utilised, which requires less hierarchical organisational structures and more multidisciplinary collaboration. Having the right project management skills is therefore essential at virtually every level of an organisation.As a result of these challenges, there is a growing demand for comprehensive methods and the popularity of Agile is on the rise. On the other hand, the increased complexity also results in a need for simplicity. That is what this book is about: going back to the basics, being able to combine useful elements from different methods and focusing on the most important aspect of all: the person behind the project manager!This book contains a wealth of practical descriptions with useful examples and anecdotes. Readers are constantly stimulated to internalise the essence and put it into practice in a manner that suits their own style and personality. That is the only way to keep at it, be successful and make others believe in you!The book consists of three parts. Part 1 (chapters 1 to 4) describes how to set up and manage a project. The focus is on the basic principles, the essence of taking control, creating structure and using Agile behavior. Part 2 (chapters 5 and 6) explains how to draw up a plan and schedule in small steps, which results in improved completeness, coordination and support. Finally, part 3 (chapters 7 to 10) covers how to manage the project execution: how to realize the path to the final goal with a strict PDCA rhythm, how to evaluate the quality of interim results and how to keep your team and environment motivated.

Описание: Succeed by mastering the art of the who

Why surround yourself with the best? Because it matters--in all aspects of life.

In fact, in professional environments, getting people right--what global leadership authority Claudio Fern ndez-Ar oz calls "the art of great 'who' decisions"--marks the difference between success and failure. To thrive, you need to identify those with the highest potential, get them in your corner and on your team, and help them grow. Yet surprisingly very few of us are able to meet that challenge.

This series of short and engaging essays outlines the obstacles to great "who" decisions and offers solutions to address them in a systematic way. Drawing from several decades of experience in global executive search and talent development, as well as the latest management and psychology research, Fern ndez-Ar oz offers wisdom and practical advice to improve the choices we make about employees and mentors, business partners and friends, top corporate leaders and even elected officials.

The personal stories and cutting-edge studies described in the book will help you understand both your own failings and the external forces commonly at play in staffing decisions. The author shares concrete recommendations on how to select the best people, bring out their strengths, foster collective greatness in the groups you've assembled, and create not only better organizations but also a better society.

Starting with the cases of Amazon pioneer Jeff Bezos and Brazilian tycoon Roger Agnelli and continuing with individual and corporate examples from around the world, Fern ndez-Ar oz paints a vivid picture of what great "who" decisions look like and presents a fresh and commanding argument about why they matter more than ever today.

Описание: Discover how to move your church beyond mere welcome to radical embrace. So your church website says you're welcoming, a rainbow flag flies out front, worship uses gender-inclusive language, and you make sure you greet the stranger next to you on Sunday mornings. But is all of that really enough? And what if those welcoming gestures actually keep visitors from returning and exclude dozens of other groups or people in your community? In True Inclusion, public theologian and pastor Brandan Robertson shares how to move your church from mere welcome to radical embrace. Pointing to a clear biblical imperative for radical inclusivity in the sanctuary and in the public square, Robertson presents a paradigm-shifting vision of community, "where nothing is simple, nothing is easy, but everything is beautiful." Learn practical, step-by-step approaches to becoming deeply, robustly, and richly inclusive of all people regardless of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, political affiliation, and socioeconomic status. Written for people and communities at every stage of the journey, True Inclusion will challenge and inspire you to embody a gospel of radical embrace for all.

Описание: One of the most fiercely debated topics in modern Christianity centers on the inclusion of sexual and gender minorities into the full life of the church. Dozens of scholars have stepped forward, seeking to make a compelling case for LGBT+ inclusion based on their contextualized reading of the six traditional passages that refer to homosexuality in Scripture. But these arguments alone fall short of providing a comprehensive framework for radical inclusion of LGBT+ people. In The Gospel of Inclusion, pastor and public theologian Brandan Robertson offers a compelling assessment of the biblical texts, cultural context, and modern social movements to suggest that the entire thrust of the Christian gospel calls the church towards the deconstruction of all oppressive systems and structures and towards the creation of a world that celebrates the full spectrum of human diversity as a reflection of God's creative intention. ""Brandan Robertson is one of the most powerful voices of his generation. This book is a tour de force of his theological thought and insight. It is both succinct and powerful, . . . a mature reflection that calls its reader to decide where he or she stands in their own life and witness."" --Floyd Thompkins, San Francisco Theological Seminary ""I'm pleased to see Brandan Robertson address the issue of human sexuality using the approach to biblical interpretation pioneered by the abolitionists, an approach that grapples with the ethical trajectory of Scripture toward inclusion. This book is simple, clear, and concise, and gets to the heart of the matter in a way that will both help church leaders and save vulnerable lives."" --Brian D. McLaren, author, activist, and speaker ""I encourage all in ministry and those looking to enhance their understanding of LGBT+ theology to take the time to read and reflect on the message Pastor Brandan is conveying. A message of love and understanding."" --Aaron Bianco, University of San Diego ""Brandan makes a powerful Christian case for the full inclusion of the LGBT+ community in the church, centered in the belief that God is working to bring greater inclusion for absolutely everyone."" --Rich McCullen, Lead Visionary, Missiongathering Movement ""Brandan Robertson's great strength is that he is not a progressive Christian, as I am. His deep roots in conservative Christian faithfulness make him the perfect messenger 'to articulate a progressive Christian theological case for LGBT+ inclusion and affirmation in the church.' In this book, he cogently reconciles faith and sexuality not only for LGBT+ Christians, but also for the whole evangelical community."" --Janet Edwards, Presbyterian Church (USA), former Co-Moderator, More Light Presbyterians Brandan Robertson (BA, MTh) is the lead pastor of Missiongathering Christian Church in San Diego and a noted public theologian and activist at the intersections of spirituality and social renewal. He is the author and contributing author to eight books, including True Inclusion: Creating Communities of Radical Embrace.
