“...The early years of LifeLine Church became a quest to rediscover the community of relationship that God first intended for us...”Following Jesus is not a one-off event – it is about adventuring with God. A Heart Set on Pilgrimage traces the journey of a church and its leader striving to fulfill their purpose on Earth: to love their Creator, love each other and demonstrate what Jesus is like to the world around them.With over forty years’ experience in leading churches in the UK and beyond, John Singleton illustrates the learning he has gained along the way with lessons on thankfulness, integrity, serving, hospitality, relationship and much more, revealing through it all the secrets and sacrifices required to truly love one another with the love of Jesus.Woven together with real-life stories – some amusing, some ridiculous, all heartfelt – this is essential reading for church planters, leaders and anyone keen to journey with God beyond the Sunday meeting.
Faith With its Sleeves Rolled Up provides an answer to anyone who believes the voice of faith is inaudible or irrelevant. Representing a wide range of faith positions, the chapters assembled here consider the practical contribution that faith is currently making to twenty-first-century society, prompting a positive understanding of faith as: a solution-focused innovator; an agent of connectedness, neighbourliness and identity; a catalyst for engagement, involvement and mobilisation; a promoter of a whole-person focus; a source of hope.
