Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Is radical discipleship really possible today? With all the competing demands we face, can the church empower us to fully respond to God's call? Can the church rise far enough above the demands of institutional survival to live out a radical gospel? Intimacy and Mission invites readers into Christian communities working at answering such questions. The author offers a carefully researched yet accessible study of five religious communities--Church of the Messiah, Koinania Partners, Patchwork Central, Sojourners, and Voice of Calvary. He shows how the experience of these communities can help local congregations discern possibilities for radical discipleship. By revealing not only the strengths of intentional community but also the struggles experienced by each of the five communities, Smith has also created a fascinating human-interest narrative. Luther Smith's valuable contribution is not only profiling five communities but also discerning the principles and lessons that come from those portraits. --Jim Wallis, from the Foreword There is no other book like this one. Smith couples realism with penetrating personal insight. He frames strong proposals for congregations and pastoral leaders that feel called to deepen their commitment to socially transforming ministries in society. --James W. Fowler, Candler Professor of Theology and Human Development, Emory University Luther E. Smith, Jr. is Professor of Church and Community at the Candler School of Theology of Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia. Dr. Smith writes and speaks extensively on issues of church and society, congregational renewal, Christian spirituality, and the thought of Howard Thurman. He is the author of Howard Thurman: The Mystic as Prophet and editor of Howard Thurman: Essential Writings.…

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. Joyful and daunting opportunities to live into God?s dream of justice and beloved community are compelling and available. Hope, says Luther Smith Jr., is essential to the needed personal and social transformations that prepare us for such sacred opportunities. Yet genuine hope is often confused as merely wish fulfillment, optimism, or perceiving better tomorrows. In Hope Is Here! Smith describes how we truly perceive and join ?the work of hope,? enlivening us to a life that is oriented toward immediate and future experiences of personal fulfillment, justice, and beloved community. Interpreting five spiritual practices for individuals and congregations to experience the power of hope, this book prepares us to engage racism, mass incarceration, environmental crises, divisive politics, and indifference that imperil justice and beloved community. It delivers the inner resources necessary to work for change through its interpretation of hope. Additionally, each chapter ends with questions that prompt readers to examine their experiences and their readiness to journey with hope. Written for Christians who want to commit themselves to justice and beloved community, this book will provide helpful guidance for a life sustained by God?s gifts of hope and love. Hope is here for our ?responsibility? and ?response-ability? to live the fulfilling life that God dreams for us.…
