THE PURPOSE DRIVEN CHURCHGrowth Without Compromising Your Message and Missionby Rick WarrenLike new hardcover book. The dust jacket shows very gentle wear, but the book is in great shape. Published by Zonservand, 1995. 399 pages. Rick Warren believes that in order for a church to be healthy it must become a Purpose Driven Church, built around the five New Testament purposes given to the church by Jesus. "The issue is church health, not church growth," declares Warren. Healthy, consistent growth is the result of balancing the five biblical purposes of the church-warmer through fellowship, stronger through worship, broader through ministry, and larger through evangelism. In this book the author tries to shift the focus away from church building programs to emphasize a "people building process." Human beings need love more than wealth.(Order- The Purpose Driven Church- Price $2.25)

AT ALL TIMES IN EVERY AGE..by Fr. E.M. MenardUsed, very good condition. Shows gentle wear. Paperback, published by Franciscan Herald Press 1977. 122 Pages. For more than thirty years Fr. Eusebe Menard has called men and women to do something for Christ with their lives. Since 1945 he has established training centers for young people and adults interested in Christian commitment in Canada, the U.S, Latin America and Africa. He is the founder and superior general of the Missionaries of the Holy Apostles and has scattered his missionaries over the face of Latin America and Africa. In At All Times In Every Age, Menard deals with the effects our modern lifestyles have on our spiritual lives. Absorbed by work and by the head-long onward rush of the world, man wherever he turns, is plagued by the "absence of God", so much so that he has raised this absence to the dignity of an "existential category" special to our time. God seems not to be present in his world, yet today as never before man appears to long for God. The yearning of contemporary man to give all things a new vitality and a spiritual dimension means that our need is greater than ever before of priests who are more fully human, more fully men of our age. They must be adults, not children, when it comes to faith; they must have intimate experience of God, the Eucharist, and revealed truth.(Order-AT ALL TIMES IN EVERY AGE - Price $3.95)
