Present Testimony Ministry Newsletter Journeying in the Revolution May 2008: Six Important Updates & Wise Words from Mother Teresa Contents
* Six Important Updates
Pagan Christianity by Frank Viola and George Barna (Tyndale, 2008) - Still Deeply Discounted Important Updates Dear Friends, Here are six quick updates: Update 1. In our last newsletter, we mentioned the book "The Church After God's Own Heart." An editor noted that this book needs a lot more work before it can be published. So we are postponing its release to an unknown date in the future. In the meantime, the spoken messages that the book is based on are available at www.ptmin.org/audiocd.htm Update 2. Coming August 1, Reimagining Church -- the sequel to Pagan Christianity.
Pagan Christianity deconstructed many modern church practices, but what should stand in its place? What does an organic church look like, and how does it function today in the 21st century? This book answers this question and more, such as: "What is the biblical basis for such a church?" "What about contexualization?" "What is the relationship between God and the church?" "How do we determine what was prescriptive vs. descriptive in the New Testament church?" and many more. Pagan Christianity started a controversial conversation; Reimagining Church helps continue it. More questions and answers about the book Pagan Christianity have been added to www.ptmin.org/answers.htm. Update 3. Bible scholar and church historian Jon Zens has written some great articles on the Christian life and the church. He addresses important subjects that few writers address. Go to http://searchingtogether.org/articles.htm Update 4. If you've read Pagan Christianity (the new edition), please tell us what you thought about it. We've established an email address just for this purpose. Please write your thoughts about the book to ReviewingPC@aol.com We would love to hear what impacted you the most. When you write, please tell us what country/state you are from. Update 5. Free eBook in three languages: Bethany: The Lord's Heart for His Church This little eBook unfolds Frank's burden and heart. English Version: www.ptmin.org/bethany.pdf Update 6. We are extending the "Divine Tapestry" book special for the next two weeks. See details below. Thanks so much for your encouragement, your prayers, and your support. It's greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Jeanette PTMIN@aol.com ANYWAY by Mother Teresa People are unreasonable, illogical, and
self-centered. If you are kind, people may accuse you
of selfish ulterior motives. If you are successful, you will win
some false friends and true enemies. The good you do today will be forgotten
tomorrow. Honesty and frankness will make you
vulnerable. What you spend years building may be
destroyed overnight. People need help but will attack you if
you help them. In the final analysis, it is between
you and God. - Mother Teresa "A Divine Tapestry" Book Special For a very limited time, we are offering a book special that seeks to weave together a tapestry of three narratives: 1. Pagan Christianity - Tells the startling story of our modern church practices - traces their origins and challenges their biblical integrity. 2. God's Ultimate Passion - Tells the captivating story of God's original intention. 3. The Untold Story of the New Testament Church - Tells the story of the first-century church in chronological order - a new look at the New Testament letters - a narrative ecclesiology. Obtain all three
for only $30. Order at www.ptmin.org/tapestry.htm If You Ordered a Book, But Haven't Received It Just a note that if you complete an order for our materials, you will always receive an EMAIL RECEIPT.
