We know Jesus tells us, Do not be afraid, but with everything going on in the
world how is it possible to not be anxious?
In this six-week study based on his book Unafraid, Adam Hamilton explores

identify fears and discover practical steps for overcoming them...all in the light
of Scripture and a faith that promises again and again that we can live with
courage and hope. In addition to the Leader Guide, which includes session plans,
activities, and discussion questions, a DVD featuring Hamilton, a Youth Leader
Guide, and a Childrens Leader Guide are also available.

William H. Willimon
Tolerate one another. Wait. Isnt that supposed to be love one another?
Reliable spiritual guide Will Willimon invites you to look more closely
at the gospels command to lovebecause to genuinely love those
considered to be other may be the hardest thing for people of faith
to do.
This five-week DVD-based small-group study invites readers to consider

the gospel command to love (and not merely tolerate) those considered
to be other or outside mainstream Christian culture.
Rooted in the New Testament understanding of Gentile outsiders

grafted into the covenant community, this study invites readers to an
on-the ground faith that hearkens to a soliciting and revealing God
the God who comes to us again and again through so-called outsiders,
strangers, immigrants, and those without status.

NEW Raising White Kids

Bringing Up Children in a Racially Unjust America
Jennifer Harvey
Like many in the white community, you may be under the impression that with todays more racially
diverse families, racial tension in our country has easedthat we are more tolerant, more accepting.
Events over the past few years have shown us we are wrong. Our nation remains racially unjust and
deeply segregated. How are we supposed to talk to children about these issues? Should we teach
children to be colorblind? Or, should we teach them to notice race? How do we equip them to
address racism when they encounter it? Raising White Kids helps parents, teachers, and churches
enter into a dialogue about the impact of racism on our children and offers guidance for sharing our
commitment to equity and justice. Abingdon Press.

In The Great Spiritual Migration, Brian McLaren
argues that in order to survive, Christianity must
shift away from an outdated system of beliefs
to a way of life based on love. He outlines three
migrations: spiritually (less focus on doctrine and
more on the abiding life of love made manifest
in Jesus); theologically (a new way of reading

Scripture thats more literary, less literalism); and
missionally (organizing religion rather than
organized religion).

Grab your tool belt for physical renovation. For

spiritual renovation, turn to God. Popular author
and pastor Jacob Armstrong explores how
Nehemiah understood the difference.
Nehemiahs goal was to rebuild the wall and

gates of Jerusalem, a physically daunting
undertaking. But he also knew that as the
Jewish people returned to their homeland, they
would need spiritual renovationan equally
difficult mission. Thankfully, spiritual renovation
is not a do-it-yourself project, and Renovate,
part of Armstrongs The Connected Life series,
emphasizes how we need Gods great power in us
to renovate our lives through the Holy Spirit.

Confirmthe only confirmation program approved for The United Methodist Church
Confirm
Your Faith. Your Commitment. Gods Call.
Too often confirmation has been downgraded to the role of a checkpoint along the faith
journey. The Confirm family of resources reclaims confirmation as the first step on a journey
that leads to a mature, adult faith. Confirm treats confirmation as more than a decision.
Instead, it is the beginning of a conversation about what it means to be a Christian: living
out your faith, your commitment, and Gods call.
Confirmation leaders and churches will find practical help for nurturing sustainable faith in
the lives of teenagers in a way that values their faith formation process. Confirm is flexible,
adaptable, and scalable, while at the same time engaging adult participation.
Confirm is an easy-to-follow and fully customizable confirmation program that can be used
in any church setting and with a wide variety of schedules. You have the option to schedule
your lesson choices and the tools to organize your own confirmation program over the
course of a school year, a 3-year span, or in any other way that meets your needswithout
having to purchase additional content.
With flexible and easy-to-understand materials, Confirm provides students with the basic
beliefs of a theologically sound, United Methodist faith while engaging them in creative and
thought-provoking activities to help them internalize what theyve learned. Confirm also
embraces the importance of community in the journey of faith development, and provides
materials to encourage cooperation with parents and mentors in the confirmation process
and beyond.
