Modern Christianity is adrift. In numerous congregations, complacency and indifference have become the norm rather than the exception. What is the missing ingredient? A large part of the problem is that we have yet to truly tap into the power of the one another way. Closer Than a Brother provides a practical, modern take on the one another scriptures and the Biblical imperative to disciple. With a writing style that is both compelling and provocative, F. Barton Davis analyzes both the scriptures and common pitfalls that have beset fellowships that have wrestled with these issues, providing unique insight and valuable direction, making Closer Than a Brother a tremendous aid for both personal spiritual enrichment, and as a practical tool for teaching and group work. "e;Unlocking the secrets of the one another way"e; is vital to our personal spiritual health and to the growth of the Lord's church. Closer Than a Brother shines a light that cuts through the uncertainty, grabs hold of the scriptures and unveils the secrets of this glorious path. It is time to unlock the power!
There is a loneliness in our churches, an emptiness that haunts many of our members even while they are singing in a pew, in a crowded room. Being present does not make us connected. And without true connection, we are simply familiar strangers gathered in a room, singing out of hymnals. The simple truth is that the secret to fixing the church requires individuals making a personal investment in one another. We need to focus on a few, pouring out our hearts, loving without limits. Passing It On is a road map to show you how. The studies inside can be used for individual devotionals, but when two or three gather and study them out together, the impact of these lessons increases exponentially. For a mature Christian looking to jumpstart your faith, Passing It On is a great refresher course, for mentors, it is an invaluable tool to equip you for your role, and for young Christians, this can be a lifeline, a lifeline to get you out of the woods and on to maturity.
