ANDERSON G Biographical dictionary of Christian missions
Eerdmans 1998 0802846807 / 9780802846808 Paperback
[Number in stock: 1]
The worldwide extension of the Christian church is a direct result of people who have played key roles in the missionary enterprise. The immense contributions of figures like David Livingstone, Billy Graham, and Mother Teresa are widely known; the achievements of many others, though equally important, are less well noted. This major reference work is the first to fully document the global history of Christian missions by means of biographical articles on the most outstanding missionaries from the past 2000 years.
Written by 350 experts from 45 countries, the Biographical Dictionary of Christian Missions contains more than 2400 original, signed biographies portraying missionaries from the patristic age to the present, representing Roman Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican , Protestant, Pentecostal, independent, and indigenous churches. Arranged in a convenient A-Z format, the articles provide significant biological information for all missionaries covered, including date and location of birth, places of service, and discussion of their writings, public achievements, and contributions to contemporary mission issues.
This book also features cross-references throughout, a bibliography accompanying each entry, an elaborate appendix listing biographies according to particular categories of interest, and a comprehensive index - all of which make this volume invaluable as a research tool. All told, the Biographical Dictionary of Christian Missions not only provides an authoritative record of significant men and women in the church but also gives a sweeping historical account of the worldwide missionary movement.
Gerald H. Anderson is director of the Overseas Ministry Studies Center in New Haven, Connecticut, and editor of the International Bulletin of Missionary.

Anderson F Breaking the Rules
IVP US 2010 0830835377 / 9780830835379 Hardcover
[Number in stock: 2]
After years of living with a set of religious demands that he could never live up to, Fil Anderson found himself spiritually bankrupt and emotionally drained. Following a crash-and-burn in professional ministry, he experienced relief in learning to be with God rather than doing for God. Instead of desperation, he found healing, and a rich new life with God.
In Breaking the Rules, Fil invites us to explore what happens when good religion turns bad. At such times we are weighed down with expectations of what it takes to be right with God -- whether it is the expectations of others, holding up under pressure, fixing what's wrong or accomplishing big things for God.
When we set aside this false agenda, we find the courage to confess our fears and insecurities. We taste the depths of God's love for us. Here is an opportunity to quit trusting in your own ability to live for God, and simply trust in God instead.
Fil Anderson is a spiritual director, conference speaker, writer, and retreat leader. He is the founder of Journey Resources and author of Running on Empty: Contemplative Spirituality for Overachievers. Educated at the University of North Carolina in Wilmington and Fuller Theological Seminary, Fil served on the staff of Young Life for twenty-five years. Fil and his wife, Lucie, live in Greensboro. They are the parents of three adult children.

Anderson K C Choosing to preach - A comprehensive introduction to sermon options and structures
Zondervan 2007 0310267501 / 9780310267508 Paperback
[Number in stock: 1]
Today, traditional forms of preaching are being scrutinized and challenged. The biblical sermon is not immune to the pressure to evolve or even fall by the wayside, leaving pastors and seminary students confused over how best to communicate to today's listeners.
In this forward-looking textbook, Kenton Anderson delivers a strong call to current and future ministers to indeed choose to preach biblical sermons, despite the obstacles to doing so. While preaching itself is non-negotiable, the exact form it takes can be much more flexible, allowing people to hear from God as they hear his Word preached.
Rather than presenting one model or process for preparing a sermon, Anderson explains several available options. As you discern your message from the Bible, will you begin with the text? (deductive) or with the listener (inductive)? Will you focus on the idea (cognitive) or the image (affective)?
The choices you make lead to five possible sermon structures:
- DECLARATIVE - make an argument
- PRAGMATIC - solve a mystery
- NARRATIVE - tell a story
- VISIONARY - paint a picture
- INTEGRATIVE - sing a song
Each model is described in detail and related to well-known contemporary preachers, including John MacArthur, Rick Warren, Eugene Lowry, and Rob Bell. This book equips you with a variety of tools for your preaching tool kid. A CD-ROM with additional helpful resources is included, as well as discussion questions and practical exercises.
Kenton C. Anderson, Phd is dean of Northwest Baptist, and associate professor of homiletics of the Associated Canadian Theological Schools (ACTS) of Trinity Western University in Langley, British Columbia, Canada. He is a contributing editor for PreachingToday.com, a contributor to The Art and Craft of Biblical Preaching, and the author of Preaching with Conviction and preaching with Integrity, as well as a past president of the Evangelical Homiletics Society.

ANDERSON HILL & MARTINSON Coming of age
Augsberg 2006 0806652241 / 9780806652245 Paperback
[Number in stock: 1]
What is the state of faith today among younger men in the church? How is the church responding to the spiritual needs of a new generation? Armed with these questions and many more, authors Roland Martinson, Paul Hill, and David Anderson conducted interviews with young men (ages 18-40) of differing life and faith experiences, and differing ethnic backgrounds in six regions of the U.S. This new book, Coming of Age, is based on the results of this study.
The study focuses on eleven factors that have an impact on the spiritual journeys of young men and offers practical advice to those who provide ministry to young men in the church. The health and vitality of the ELCA and other mainline denominations depends, in part, on keeping young men engaged in faith development and in connecting faith to life issues.
The first section of the book introduces the results of the survey and provides a theological, biblical, and sociological vision for ministry to men, as well as observations about the current scene. The second part of the book targets each of the key factors observed in the study. Young men and those who minister with and to them can explore these factors together and discover ways to enrich their personal faith journeys and the whole community of faith.

ALLISON & ANDERSON Going public with the gospel - Reviving evangelistic proclamation
Intervarsity Press 2003 0830813659 / 9780830813650 Paperback
[Number in stock: 13]
In some circles public evangelism has fallen out of favor. Many churches are daunted by the prospects of reaching the unchurched out in the open, beyond the walls of their sanctuaries. And many Christians assume that the days of mass public evangelism have passed and instead rely on outreach through private, individual efforts.
But the gospel of Jesus Christ has always been a matter of public proclamation. From the earliest days of the church, in every age, the growth of Christianity has been tied to the public preaching of the good news.
In this landmark book, evangelists Lon Allison and Mark Anderson issue a stirring call for the revival of public gospel proclamation. They show how God has used evangelistic preaching in the past and how it can be practiced with relevance and effectiveness today. Recovering public proclamation, they argue, is key to the vitality and ongoing mission of the church.
An essential resource for evangelistically minded Christians from the local church to specialists in international missions organizations, this guide offers hope that Christianity can again reach the masses in the public square.

Anderson & Smith Lenny the Lying Lemur - Teaching Children to Tell the Truth (Book 2 of Francy and Friends series)
HSM 2009 9314730071263 Hardcover
[Number in stock: 6]
Mums, Dads, and Teachers:
Children learn to tell fibs very early in life. As children grow and learn, it is important they are taught honesty and truthfulness. These are important building blocks for good character and need to be nurtured from an early age. In the Bible it teaches us that lying leads to trouble and hurts others. There are many examples of this throughout the stories of the Bible. This book uses the story of Joseph to illustrate the importance of telling the truth. Proverbs teaches us that God does not like lying lips, but he delights in those who are truthful. I hope you and your child can use this book to discuss the importance of honesty.
Lenny the Lying Lemur
Jumping jellybeans - I am not a monkey, I am a lemur! says Lenny. What adventures will this lying lemur get up to when he visits Francy the Firefly at Lighthouse Beach? Will Lenny and Francy become good friends or will the young lemur's lying lead to trouble and hurt others?
Oh blimey Slimey! Will Lenny fall for the sneaky tricks of Slimey the Seagull and lose his chance at true friendship? Watch and enjoy this story as Lenny learns the hard way, just how important it is to always tell the truth.

Anderson J Paradox in Christian theology - An analysis of its presence, character, and epistemic status
Paternoster 2007 1842274627 / 9781842274620 Paperback
[Number in stock: 1]
How can Jesus be fully human and fully divine? How can God be Three-in-One? James Anderson develops and defends a model of understanding paradoxical Christian doctrines according to which the presence of such doctrines is unsurprising and adherence to paradoxical doctrines can be entirely reasonable. As such, the phenomenon of theological paradox cannot be considered as a serious intellectual obstacle to belief in Christianity. The case presented in this book has significant implications for the practice of systematic theology, biblical exegesis, Christian apologetics and philosophy.
James N. Anderson is a Research Fellow of the University of Edinburgh, Scotland

ANDERSON P (ED) Professors who believe
Intervarsity Press 1998 0830815996 / 9780830815999 Paperback
[Number in stock: 1]
Often the university is seen as a hothouse of anti-Christian bias. Every other belief system, no matter how exotic, seems to receive more respect and support than historic Christian belief. Yet even in this environment, steadily and certainly, men and women of faith have continued to hold and grow in their confidence in Christ.Here are the stories of twenty-two such Christian faculty, who tell in their own words the difference that Christ has made in their lives and their work. Respected and accomplished in a variety of academic disciplines, these believers have come to a strong understanding of their faith within their professions. They have wrestled with the issues of a complex world and found meaning and purpose through their spiritual journeys.These very personal stories offer thoughtful models of how faith can not only survive but thrive in the university world.

ANDERSON A Spreading fires - The missionary nature of early Pentecostalism
SCM Press 2007 0334040639 / 9780334040637 Paperback
[Number in stock: 1]
This book analyses the context, history, theology and praxis of the first Pentecostal missions in the first two decades of the twentieth century. Based largely on primary sources, it explores the social and historical context in which Pentecostalism arose, the revival, holiness and healing movements associated with it in the late nineteenth century, and the influence of colonialism on Pentecostal missions. It traces the stories of Pentecostal missionaries and 'native workers' in Africa, China, India and other parts of Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. The first part of the book is historical, while the second part is analytical, missiological and theological. It looks at the doctrine and experience of the Spirit so central to Pentecostal mission, the emphasis on evangelism, healing and premillennialism, the translation and contextualization of the Christian message by Pentecostal missionaries, and issues of religion, race, gender and culture. It concludes with an analysis of the missionary nature of Pentecostalism and the contemporary implications of this for the wider church.

ANDERSON R S The shape of practical theology
Intervarsity Press 2001 0830815597 / 9780830815593 Paperback
[Number in stock: 2]
Too often in the life of the church, theological reflection and the practical matters of leading and serving have been considered independently. The result has been the impoverishment of both Christian faith and Christian practice. In this groundbreaking book Ray Anderson reflects theologically and practically on preaching, worship, ethics, social justice, therapy, family, homosexuality, burnout in ministry, reconciliation in relationships and theological education itself. The result is The Shape of Practical Theology, a new and renewing foundation for engaging in Christian ministry. Anderson lays out his threefold goal as follows:
- to define more clearly the shape of practical theology as truly a theological enterprise rather than mere mastery of skills and methods
- to demonstrate the praxis of practical theology as critical engagement with the interface between the word of God as revealed through Scripture and the work of God taking place in and through the church in the world
- to deal with practical pastoral theology from the perspective of those who are on the field of play of life and ministry, where preaching, counseling and teaching does affect for many persons the outcome of the game
Illuminated by stimulating discussion and helpful case studies, The Shape of Practical Theology is aimed at seminary students, at Christian educators, and at working pastors and counselors. Anderson's work, fascinating and fruitful, brings together the Word of God with the Spirit of God in the ever-changing context of real-life ministry.
