Book Description
Pastor T's Discontent is a compelling story written from a lay person's perspective stretching the normal paradigm with a taste of "What could be." The use of fictional characters unveils a reality prevalent in today's culture that many young people may be open to love Jesus, but shy away from the organized church. In his quest to become a better missional leader, Pastor T faces many challenges to transform his church from a "Serve me" attitude to an action-filled "Serve God by serving others" mentality. Pastor's heart is opened to people like JJ, a musically talented street kid, who said, "Pastor Dude, you're cool, but your church music is like-for wimps." His quest to alter the culture of his congregation as equipped disciples to be sent outside the church to make more disciples creates discouraging as well as exhilarating challenges for Pastor T. Through meditation and prayer, Pastor T was led to a community of young people called the Village, where he finds missional opportunity and a way to involve disciples from his congregation in an "As We Go" ministry. Each chapter has a Biblical theme ending in thought-provoking questions for the reader to grow in Christ. It can also be adapted to a small-group curriculum with transformational qualities over an eight-week period or longer. Most of all, it is every believer being the church in the community; reaching out beyond walls and barriers creating Christian relationships as we go in life.

Book Description
What is the one aspect of this broken world that, when you see it, touch it, get near it, you just can’t stand? Very likely, that firestorm of frustration reflects your holy discontent, a reality so troubling that you are thrust off the couch and into the game. It’s during these defining times when your eyes open to the needs surrounding you and your heart hungers to respond that you hear God say, “I feel the same way about this problem. Now, let’s go solve it together!”Bill Hybels invites you to consider the dramatic impact your life will have when you allow your holy discontent to fuel instead of frustrate you. Using examples from the Bible, his own life, and the experiences of others, Hybels shows how you can find and feed your personal area of holy discontent, fight for it when things get risky, and follow it when it takes a mid-course turn. As you live from the energy of your holy discontent, you’ll fulfill your role in setting what is wrong in this world right!

Book Description
When was the last time you heard a sermon drawn from the Old Testament? Not just one with some Old Testament texts, but built from the text? Allan Bevere, a United Methodist pastor, set out to teach more from the first testament. The Character of Our Discontent grew out of the author's conviction that pastors do not preach enough about the Old Testament. The result is 19 chapters, each of which represents a sermon on an Old Testament character. These sermons are lively, fast paced, and practical yet are rooted in sound scholarship and are examples of the homiletical art. Christians who would like to learn how the Old Testament can enlighten and guide their Christian walk, and pastors who would like to learn how to preach more effectively from the Old Testament will both find these sermons an invaluable aid. While Dr. Bevere specializes in the New Testament and theology, he believes that pastors (and academics as well) can preach and teach effectively outside their areas of specialty. Indeed, they must, and this teaching can enrich their own learning and the fields of study into which they venture. The Character of Our Discontent is an adventure in preaching and it invites us into the adventure of living in relationship with God, an adventure that has similar characteristics whether we are learning about God's call to Abraham or how a call to mission in Africa came to a contemporary English teacher nearing retirement.
