They Like to Never Quit Praisin' God: The Role of Celebration in Preaching

4 reviews
Frank A. Thomas

Pilgrim Press, 1997

A Mountaintop Experience
Frank Thomas has developed a methodology for the kind of preaching that moves the congregation from the pew to the "mountaintop." Although this book is spiritually based, it contains steps to follow throughout the entire preaching process. One of the things I really liked about the book is that it the powerful treatment of the subject of "celebration." Whereas, most authors of preaching ...

David F. White

Pilgrim Press, 2005

Important Resource
"Over the last half-century," says David White, "congregational youth ministry has undergone a separation from its own sense of place. The expectations, imaginations and practices of youth ministry are more likely to originate in Southern California, Colorado or denominational headquarters than they are within the unique and particular setting of a congregation." So, in this resource David ...

Pilgrim Press, 1995

A refreshing perspective on medicine, ministry and ethics
Margaret Mohrmann has written a book that skillfully addresses the interrelationship of medicine and ministry in the healing process. I serve as a hospital chaplain in a large suburban hospital, and it is refreshing to read a book by a physician that emphasizes the importance of medicine and ministry as cooperating disciplines in the healing process. The book is insightful, yet concise and easily ...

Excellent and practical - A must read

A MUST READ Book There is more good stuff in these 122 pages than in volumes of "how to" books by 'Mega Church' bestselling authors.

A Feminist Companion To Matthew (Feminist Companion to the New Testament and Early Christian)

Becoming a Pastor: Forming Self and Soul for Ministry

1 review
Jaco J. Hamman

Pilgrim Press, 2007

A Helpful Tool for Self-Examination
Hamman's tagline is "forming self and soul for ministry," which is meant as a continuous evaluation of oneself in the pastoral vocation. An underlying assumption with which he works is that pastors do not come out of seminary fully formed, nor are they even fully formed 25-30 years into their ministries. This does seem to be geared more toward pastors earlier in their careers, but I don't see why ...

Gary M. Burge

Pilgrim Press, 2003

Reflections on the book "Whose Land? Whose Promise? What Christians are not being told about Israel and the Palestinians."
A very significant work on the current Middle East issues filling our news today. I think all Evangelicals should consider reading this book, as it tells a complex, truthful story we almost never hear in our media.

From Literal to Literary: The Essential Reference Book for Biblical Metaphors

1 review
James Rowe Adams

Pilgrim Press, 2008

Good Reference Material
This isn't the kind of book that's meant to be read cover to cover, but that's exactly what I did, because I'm a freak. Basically, it's an encyclopedic reference of biblical terminology (terms like sin, kingdom, son of man, etc.). Each entry includes the original Greek and/or Hebrew words/phrases from which the English term is translated, several examples of the term being used in the bible, and ...
