"Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?" "Here I am!" was the prophet Isaiah's answer to God's great question, but do you know the secret that it holds? The Most High is looking for servants, and has well-defined criteria for whoever He chooses. It's not about time in church membership, a vast biblical knowledge, or in intellectual abilities. God is searching for servants who will offer their lives to Him in sincerity, purity, and wholeness. And this is exactly what Edir Macedo explains in this book. In a clear and detailed way, the author addresses various aspects of a servant's life, such as behaviour, character, choices, struggles, faith, and salvation. This book is a true treasure for those who value the privilege of being called and chosen to serve God.

Stan Morikawa is an amazing man. On that first day we met, he seemed like a normal guy and simply asked for guidance to help him grow as a new Christian. However, after he revealed more details, it became clear that his life would have to be an extreme makeover project by God. You see, Stan was a gambling addict and was in a desperate predicament. "Fast money was his game and losing money became his fame." He had lost everything. He destroyed his first marriage and family. He was on the verge of doing the same to his current marriage. He faced huge debts, threats on his life and legal judgments. He lost his business and had no money or job. He caused his best friends to lose money in support of his gambling and investment ventures. He was in a deep hole, expecting to die, when God intervened and gave him an opportunity to live. So now here he was, driven by the fact that this was his last chance, and hanging on to the hope that God, now his Father through Jesus Christ, will carry him through. You will laugh, cry, be upset, anxious and uplifted when you read adventure after adventure of God rescuing Stan from seemingly impossible situations. You will be heart-warmed by the new life found by his two families and friends. You will be excited about the new ministries he introduced that bring dynamic solutions for troubled youth and families. His story will prove that God is indeed available today to make special things happen out of nothing when people trust Him to handle every situation, no matter how impossible it may seem.

Being used by God is an adventure you won’t want to miss! Major Ian Thomas, a British theologian, teacher, and the founder of Torchbearers Bible Schools, spent seven exhausting years trying to live for Christ when he realized that God actually just wanted to live through Him. He offered this extremely simple advice in considering the Christian life: Go where you are sent, stay where you are put, and do what you are asked. With her trademark warmth and keen sense of humor, esteemed Bible study teacher Jill Briscoe follows Major Thomas’s example to help readers learn how to allow God to live through them, finding their mission field to be right before them—in the space between their own two feet. She uses stories from her own life and of other contemporaries to unpack the story of Moses in helping us better understand our true worth and calling. She asks, “What is your Jerusalem, your Judea, your Samaria? Whether you’re fifty or fifteen, you are called to be God’s light in a troubled world.” This classic work is being updated to include conversation starters and Bible study questions at the end of each chapter.

Church leadership and authority have been perennial theological issues facing Protestant churches of the Reformed tradition since the sixteenth century. What is ordination and what occurs when the Church ordains women and men to offices are questions that Reformed churches have attempted to answer for over five hundred years. In Here I Am, Lord, Send Me, Neal Presa combs the rich confessional, constitutional, and theological tradition of the Reformed churches. He critiques previous methods that have tried to answer questions of the meaning of ordination, and then proposes a new methodology that focuses on the ritual and stories of ordination, the shape and content of an assembly's worship. This work provides pathways for deeper and helpful engagement with present church debates and ecumenical discussions on ordination and ecclesiastical authority.
