Curriculum that’s trusted and transformational Cokesbury is committed to serving you as you serve the church. We are pleased to offer a variety of biblically and educationally sound curriculum resources that will engage students, help grow your ministries, and transform lives. Dear friends and colleagues in the life of Christian discipleship, I welcome you to this issue of Forecast, the pages of which are replete with information about resources that will help children, youth, and adults grow in their knowledge of Scripture, their understanding of God and the church, their practice of the spiritual disciplines, and their commitment to the joyful and comprehensive journey of following Jesus. I hope that this catalog will function as a helpful tool for you in your ministry. While all of the resources in Forecast are valuable in different ways, you will notice that some of the resources are accompanied by this special emblem: . This emblem indicates that the accompanying resource has been reviewed, approved, and endorsed by the Curriculum Resources Committee (CRC) of the United Methodist General Board of Discipleship. The CRC is a team of experienced church leaders, authors, and educators who have been entrusted with the task of ensuring that United Methodist curriculum is biblically grounded; consistent with United Methodist theology; practical in its scope and application; and consistently reflective of a commitment to representing and resourcing all age groups, all church sizes and learning styles, and all portions of the human family. The CRC emblem is not a status symbol, nor is it an effort to minimize the value of the many other resources that do not bear the emblem. Rather, the CRC emblem is simply a way of helping United Methodist Christians find their way to those resources that most dynamically reflect the unique spiritual and theological voice that our denomination brings to the body of Christ. Even as I write these words, I am praying that the curriculum found in this issue of Forecast—particularly those which bear the CRC emblem—will become a conduit through which the Holy Spirit warms hearts, informs minds, transforms lives, and ushers people more deeply into the life of faithful discipleship to Jesus Christ. Gratefully and prayerfully,
Eric S. Park, Chair, Curriculum Resources Committee Watch for these symbols throughout the catalog. For more information call 800-672-1789 or visit Cokesbury.com For your convenience, this red truck symbol indicates which resources may be ordered through our Automatic Curriculum Shipment Program. The green truck icon indicates the item is available through subscription.

Active learning
Hands-On Bible Curriculum Jesus had a knack for connecting eternal truths with everyday symbols his audience could touch and taste—things like coins and fish. You’ll do the same with Hands-On Bible Curriculum! When “play” turns into “active learning,” you’re teaching in a way that God wired your kids to learn best! With Hands-On Bible Curriculum, you’ll— • teach as Jesus taught, using unique, tangible objects (“gizmos”) to communicate intangible, eternal truths • get step-by-step instructions so even beginning teachers can lead kids in making lifechanging discoveries about God • involve all the senses (sight, smell, taste, touch, sound) in exploring what it means to be a friend of Christ • help kids have so much fun learning the Bible that they can’t wait to come back for more • use “one-point” Bible learning that’s proven to help kids remember and apply lessons far longer than old-fashioned teaching methods • share kid-friendly take-home pages and reproducible handouts that extend learning into children’s families. Learning Labs include Bible Discovery Paks, creative gizmos, CD with music, sound effects, and unique sensory teaching effects. Group Publishing.
Memorable “one-point” lessons Ages 18 months–13 13 sessions per quarter

Children’s Sunday School Dwell Dwell is designed to challenge children to use their imaginations about how people in God’s Story experienced their lives and how they must have felt. By igniting kids’ imagination, breaking through their busy minds and engaging them on a deeper level, Dwell allows them to step in to the Story. This promotes long-term retention, deeper understanding, and moments of awe. In addition, kids learn that God’s story is ongoing and that they can be a part of it today in meaningful ways. Dwell is designed with a beautiful simplicity. You don’t need to gather a ton of supplies, and there are no dramas to memorize. The story itself drives the lessons and children will delight in exploring the story each week. One student book per student and one leader guide per leader required.

Creative Ideas for Children’s Worship Sarah Lenton
Celebrate the Good News Children’s Chapel
One of the biggest challenges for worship leaders and educators is coming up with ideas for including children in worship. These books provide 60 outlines—more than a year’s worth of activities and ideas, complete with artwork and visual aids. The worship outlines include simple children’s liturgies and a complete lesson or story plan that harmonizes with what the adults are doing in church on the same day. Through fun ideas, children encounter a real aspect of the Christian faith, focused on a theme to be found in the Gospel reading of the day. Each outline includes a variety of options which make them workable with small and large groups of children or single groups of mixed ages. Illustrated throughout, the text and artwork appear on the accompanying CD-ROM in full color for downloading and printing or copying. All activities were developed and used in an Anglican parish (Church of England) over the last eight years by a professional educator, artist, and experienced children’s minister. Morehouse Education Resources.
Celebrate the Good News closely mirrors Sunday readings, offering children the same worshipping opportunities that are part of the larger assembly. It gives them the chance to proclaim the gospel, profess their faith, and pray together—in their own terms and on their own turf. Quarterly materials follow the 3-year Revised Common Lectionary cycle. Includes complete, easy preparation materials with a step-by-step plan, including each week’s gospel reading and background and prayer suggestions; hands-on activities that reinforce the gospel message and involve children in interactive ways; material for 20- to 40-minute sessions; and at-a-glance material lists each week.

Choice of two lesson plans Two 16-week semesters
Don’t waste your Sunday opportunity! Claim the Life’s comprehensive Sunday school curriculum follows youth for the six years that span confirmation through graduation. The annual themes are Journey, Word, and Faith for younger youth; Promise, Story, and Call for older youth. Lessons begin with Tending, an intentional ritual that helps youth develop closer relationships through tending to one another and tending to God at work in their lives and the world. The planned Teaching content is focused on one word (or phrase) that is significant to the Christian faith (Commitment, Suffering, Simplicity, Blessing, Peace, Abundant Life, for example). Lessons conclude with Sending, an intentional ritual that helps youth create SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Revealed, and Time-Limited), ways in which they will practice some element of being a disciple.

Something Bigger, Part 2 Heroes of the Faith Laurie Polich Short and Chase Allcott
Teenagers inherently feel the call to live for something bigger, to do something that makes a difference, to become people who impact the world around them. But many of those same teenagers wonder how they can best respond to that call. Something Bigger will help your students explore four important decisions that will open the door to God’s work in their lives. Drawing on the lives and faith experiences of four biblical characters, youth ministry veterans challenge teenagers in each session to examine their lives and take practical, real-world steps to grow in their faith. Group Publishing.
Something Bigger Part 2 will help your students consider a series of essential practices and habits that can launch a lifelong journey of doing great things for God. In each lesson, youth ministry veterans guide teenagers through the pages of the Bible to discover the accounts of people whose lives made a difference—and each week, they offer practical, real-world steps your students can use to follow a similar path. Includes insightful lessons on four Old Testament heroes: Daniel, Esther, Joshua, and Samuel. Group Publishing.

Being a teenager isn’t always easy. From homework to afterschool jobs to having to think about the future, life can feel chaotic. But did you know the chaos and confusion, as well as the joy and excitement are part of God’s plan? In this teen adaptation of God’s Story, Your Story, Max Lucado explores the divine narrative in the New Testament, as well as several contemporary examples, to show how everyday life is part of God’s bigger redemption story, and that God is there, no matter what you may face in your life.

$4.99
Confirmation in The United Methodist Church is a repeatable rite. While many churches confirm youth in early adolescence, there is a need for ageappropriate confirmation resources for older youth and young adults. Credo Faith Formation for Older Youth and Young Adults provides a different kind of confirmation experience—one that reflects the greater life experience and thinking capacity of this age group. The study is made up of six units covering God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, Prevenient Grace, Justifying Grace, and Sanctifying Grace, with the emphasis on baptism and Holy Communion. The units offer multiple learning activities, as well as discussion starters, from which the leader can choose based on the needs of the group. The resource also includes instructions on how to plan and implement two retreats: the focus of Retreat 1 is on the sacraments, while Retreat 2 focuses on helping participants identify their gifts and put those gifts to use as God calls them into service throughout their lives.

NEW What Did Jesus DO All Day? Discovering the Teen Jesus Felicia Silcox
Provides youth with a foundational understanding of the Reformed Presbyterian faith and presents the biblical foundations and theology of the Apostle’s Creed, the Ten Commandments, and the Lord’s Prayer. Additionally, it invites young people to explore the meaning of their baptism and their participation at the Lord’s Supper, as well as learn about church polity, stewardship, spiritual practices, worship, and mission. The scope and sequence echoes the emphases of the Study Catechism (confirmation version). Congregational Ministries Publishing.
What Did Jesus Do All Day? bridges today’s world and the world Jesus knew. Archaeological discoveries, historical writings, and early-Jewish studies continue to uncover what everyday life was like back then. Like us, Jesus’ contemporaries worked and studied hard, worshipped in community, and observed holidays with family and friends. Like us, they struggled with temptation and sin, failure and loss, political upheaval and war, betrayal and violence, sickness and death. Somehow, the closer we look into Jesus’ world, the more familiar it feels— and the more his words ring true. Morehouse Publishing.

Youth Seasonal Studies New Advent/Christmas study
NEW Finding Bethlehem in the Midst of Bedlam An Advent Study for Youth James W. Moore; adapted by Mike Poteet For youth, who are often spared the headaches of holiday-season logistics, Christmas represents a break from school, presents, and an endless supply of sweets. But youth face plenty of problems and pressures that don’t take time off for Christmas. And the idea that Advent and Christmas are supposed to be the happiest time of the year might not sit well with youth who are sick, grieving, anxious, and lonely. Help teens experience the hope of Christ amid the commotion, confusion, and challenges of their day-to-day lives. Finding Bethlehem in the Midst of Bedlam for Youth is adapted by popular Bible Lessons for Youth writer Mike Poteet from the 2013 all-ages study by James W. Moore. The youth study has five chapters, one for each Sunday of Advent and one for Christmas. Leaders and participants work from the same book, which includes readings for reflection, flexible age-appropriate teaching-and-learning activities, and a short devotional reading for each day of the Advent season.

NEW Book of Fidgets A Jot and Doodle Journal for Christian Youth
Young people today are notorious for having short attention spans. And after spending 35 hours each week in school and several more studying and doing homework, they aren’t interested in coming to church and getting something that looks like a textbook or worksheet. Enter Book of Fidgets, an interactive “doodle journal” that gives youth space to jot, sketch, scribble, and be creative. Instead of filling in blanks or completing crossword puzzles, youth will doodle. They will create. They will have the freedom to go wherever their brains—and, more importantly, the Spirit—leads them. Fidgets includes material for 52 youth group programs, along with a host of other doodling prompts for when youth are waiting for things to get started or when their hands need to be doing something so that their minds can focus. Fidgets offers doodle-centric sessions related to the seasons of the Christian calendar, cultural holidays (such as Thanksgiving and Super Bowl Sunday), Scripture, and topics that teens care about.

At times challenging, often amusing, and always relevant, these presentations challenge your own group to “keep the discussion going” using the included study materials.

Reentry What I Learned on My Mission Trip Hank Hillard
Destination Unknown: Missions 30 Excursions to Transform Your Community Sam Halverson
Groups often spend months preparing for a mission trip but, too often, after youth come home, they go on with their lives as though nothing happened. Mission experiences should be transformative. This guide helps youth process and apply the mission experience, both on the way home from a trip or after they return. Through group discussion, individual reflection, Bible study, and journaling, they’ll see how they used their unique gifts in service of God and others and discover how to apply what they have learned and to make mission a way of life. Developed and tested by the Division on Ministries With Young People at the General Board of Discipleship. Abingdon Press. 9781426753671

The Youth Ministry “movement” appears to be doing a lot of important work— retreats and camps, books and seminars, conferences and leadership symposiums— but many youth leaders quietly doubt their effectiveness in reaching and making a difference in the lives of young people. Spiritual apathy seems to be increasing. Young people are biblically illiterate, find the church to be irrelevant, and are leaving the church by the droves, if they ever attended in the first place. Youth Ministry shines a revealing light on standard youth ministry practices, helps the reader to see what needs to change, and is full of practical ideas that work in real churches, and includes perspectives from current youth ministry leaders.

Thriving Youth Ministry in Smaller Churches Secrets for Cultivating a Dynamic Youth Ministry Rick Chromey and Stephanie Caro
OMG A Youth Ministry Handbook Kenda Creasy Dean Most contemporary young people know “OMG” means “oh my God,” but most don’t know what that has to do with the Ten Commandments, much less that it breaks one of them. Christians should hear the phrase differently. It can be a prayer, a plea, a petition, a note of praise, or an unbidden entreaty that escapes our lips as we seek Christ for the young people we love. Using six lenses the authors detail current practices and tease out underlying questions as youth ministry becomes more self-consciously aligned with practical theology. Abingdon Press. 9781426700088
$25.99; $16.37 (
The average church in America has around 75 members. There’s no reason why “small” has to equal “less” when it comes to healthy, thriving youth ministry. In this stereotypebusting examination of “smaller” (don’t call ‘em “small“) youth ministry, the authors provide clear biblical and philosophical direction along with a host of practical ideas. You’ll discover strengths you didn’t know you had, and realize that what you thought were obstacles were only excuses. Group Publishing. 9780764440519

Adult Bible Studies Immersion Bible Studies One reason many give for not participating in personal Bible study is that they find the Bible overwhelming, even intimidating. With the input of a diverse group of biblical scholars, teachers, and writers, these new comprehensive Bible studies offer a guide around those barriers, helping participants explore intellectual, emotional, and spiritual insights into themselves, their needs, and their relationship with God. Immersion Bible Studies follow the pattern of clearly understandable language found in the new Common English Bible. Each study is well suited for small groups or individuals. Abingdon Press.

The Bible From Scratch Series In this series, well-known educator Don Griggs has written two very accessible, easy-tounderstand overviews of the Bible for adults who have—or fear they have—little or no Bible knowledge. In these two survey volumes, one each for the Old and New Testaments, Griggs guides us through the Bible and introduces basic tools and skills for Bible study.
NT & OT overviews or in-depth volumes Easy to understand Individual or group study
While these studies present basic themes, histories, personalities, and meanings of the Bible, Griggs expands the series with a set of volumes based on the individual books of the Old and New Testaments. These individual volumes offer the lay reader an opportunity to build on the foundation of the broad knowledge of the overview books. A leader’s guide and participant section are included for each overview book, making each an excellent resource for group or individual study. Westminster John Knox Press.

Texts are explained in such a simple way that even the most challenging passages can be understood. A glossary is included at the back of each book. The series is suitable for group study, personal study, or daily devotions. Westminster John Knox Press.

Bible study in the form of dialogue
NEW Talking With The Bible Scripture as Conversation Partner Donn Morgan
For personal or group study
The Bible is full of sound and fury—just like the world that looks to it for answers. It is also a powerful resource for understanding and moving beyond conflict. There is no one way to talk with the Bible and no one way the Bible talks to us. Rather, there are a number of differing, sometimes contradictory ways in which we understand the Bible in conversation and as a dialogue partner. Through studying Scripture, together and alone, we can become more sensitive and adept at listening to and understanding one another. Seabury Books. 9781596272347

NEW Women of the Bible James A. Harnish Many biblical women play critical roles in the drama of God’s salvation. Women of the Bible grew out of a desire to discover how some of the women who made a difference in the Bible can make a difference in our lives today. Join Pastor James A. Harnish as he takes a closer look at the stories of four extraordinary women in Scripture: Deborah, Abigail, Mary Magdalene, and the woman at the well. You’ll be drawn into a fresh awareness of what it means for all of us, men and women alike, to be more faithful disciples of Jesus Christ.
Converge Bible Studies is a series of topical Bible studies based on the Common English Bible. Each title in the series consists of four studies on a common topic or theme. Converge can be used by small groups, classes, or individuals. Primary Scripture passages are included for ease of study, as are questions designed to encourage both personal reflection and group conversation. Abingdon Press.

NEW Our Common Sins Dottie Escobedo-Frank The original disciples were fairly ordinary people. They had regular families, made their livelihoods in regular ways, and had typical and varied political leanings. But they met Jesus, and started to live extraordinary lives. Because of their closeness to Jesus, we tend to think the disciples lived lives with less “sin” than we live with. We imagine Jesus’ perfect love rubbed off on them perfectly so that they were also extraordinary humans. But the gospels show us differently. They show us that Jesus’ close companions were as human as we are. And it is because we recognize the sins of the disciples as our own that we can relate to them so closely. They are our common sins.

NEW Who You Are in Christ Shane Raynor From childhood through adulthood, most of us spend a considerable amount of time and energy trying to figure out who we are and who we want to be. And there’s no shortage of people in the world willing to give us their answers to those questions. This study takes a look at how our faith in Jesus radically changes who we are and our relationships with God, each other, and the world. Using passages from Paul’s letters, this study explores our identity in Christ as well as how our self-perception affects who we become and what we accomplish when we choose to live according to God’s ways of justice, mercy, and love. 9781426771538 Participant Book ( also available, visit Cokesbury.com)

NEW Yearning Authentic Transformation, Young Adults, and the Church Robert Hendrickson
The Hobbit takes readers into a world unlike any other—yet so much seems familiar. As Bilbo journeys there and back again, glimpses of the spiritual are seen. Previous guides to Tolkien’s fiction either entirely overlook the Christian elements or claim to find them everywhere. This volume, written by internationally regarded Tolkien scholar, Devin Brown, is an approachable, witty, and highly entertaining book that offers fresh perspectives to fans of The Hobbit. Abingdon Press.
Young adults (18–30) are searching for a church that demands their involvement, whether it is in mission, theology, or daily life. They want a church that is relevant and offers a vision of the Divine.

He was no backsliding Jew, but an observant Jew….I believe it’s important for the church to own that and to claim it proudly. I believe how we see, name, and claim Jesus has everything to do with how we see, name, and claim each other.” Simon-Peter, an ordained elder in The United Methodist Church, was also born and raised a Jew. She challenges Christians to rethink Jesus’ identity as a Jew, and in the process, to consider ways to continue to heal the breaches between Jews and Christians? Abingdon Press. Coming September 2013.
Liz Canham conveys her love for the psalms in a way that will surely lure others to discover their beauty and power.

NEW Consider the Birds A Provocative Guide to Birds of the Bible Debbie Blue
NEW A Bead and a Prayer A Beginner’s Guide to Praying with Beads Kristen E. Vincent
From biblical times to today, humans have found meaning and significance in the actions and symbolism of birds. The birds of Scripture, though admired, are largely unseen and under-appreciated. The author highlights 10 biblical birds—including the dove, quail, and birds of prey—and explores their significance in familiar and unfamiliar stories. With these (usually) minor characters at the forefront, the book’s poignant life lessons illuminate how God’s mysterious grace is sometimes most evident in God’s simplest of creatures. Abingdon Press. Coming August 2013.
This 4-week Bible study introduces Protestants to prayer beads as a tool for connecting with God. Participants will explore the history and art of using beads in prayer, discover ways to pray with beads, and learn how beads can help them deepen their faith, understand Christian beliefs, and listen to God.

There is a vast Christian audience that longs for clear explanations in their “case for God” that gives them reason, confidence, and the language to effectively communicate their belief. Hardwired is that book, that confidence, that accessible wisdom, and that language! Building on the biblical principle that God’s existence is plain in what God has made, Hardwired makes the case for our natural lives giving us a language for God’s existence. Filled with humor, metaphor, and whimsy, Hardwired will empower the layperson to find God without a PhD. It’s readable and fun, even as it rests on a credible, scholarly foundation. Abingdon Press.

A book that speaks to orphaned souls and those who have just felt that way: parents agonizing over prodigal children; addicts; people enduring physical, mental, or spiritual suffering; and people of all types who have lost something—loved ones, family, jobs, innocence, a chance…their way. Beth’s compelling stories—interwoven with the wisdom of Scripture—will resonate with anyone seeking to find purpose in the midst of pain. Though people may feel confused, lost, or abandoned, there is hope. This book offers useful and meaningful messages for the individual reader, pastors, families, church leaders, and small groups.

NEW The Christ-Centered Woman Finding Balance in a World of Extremes Kimberly Dunnam Reisman
Study based on author’s best-selling book
In this six-week in-depth Bible study, Kimberly Dunnam Reisman draws upon her best-selling book The Christ-Centered Woman to provide a completely updated and expanded guide for helping women to find balance at every age and stage of life. Confronting the daily chaos of competing demands from a new perspective, she asks not “How do I juggle my responsibilities?” but “How do I make choices that reflect my relationship with Christ and his direction for my life?”
6 sessions
Using chapter three of the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Ephesians as a biblical foundation, the study identifies barriers to balanced living and explores what the Bible teaches about Christ-centered living. Women will discover how being centered in the Savior can help us contemplate, sort, and prioritize our callings. Through it all, we come to experience Christ as Rock, Solace, and Guide and find him the calm center from which we can wisely navigate the responsibilities of our lives. The DVD provides six video segments featuring Kim’s dynamic teaching. The Participant Book includes space for writing answers and recording reflections.

Namesake When God Rewrites Your Story Jessica LaGrone

Every name tells a story. Names in Scripture were often given to tell the story of a person’s identity, upbringing, or character. When transforming lives, God often brings more than we bargained for: new identities, new journeys, even new names. Namesake is a 6-week Bible study that explores the roots of biblical characters’ names and the transformational power of God through the stories of individuals who met God and whose lives and names were changed forever. As you meet Abraham and Sarah, Jacob, Naomi, Daniel, Peter, and the unnamed woman, you will discover that God wants to be just as intimately involved in your story, offering an identity that shines with the purpose for which you were created.

Do you have a longing to know God more intimately? Do you desire a rock-solid faith to believe God for the challenges you are facing, regardless of how you may feel? This six-week Bible study by award-winning Gospel singer-songwriter and Bible teacher Babbie Mason challenges you to examine your personal relationship with God, make up your mind to believe God’s Word—regardless of your feelings or circumstances—and take hold of some non-negotiable principles of the faith. Whether you are wrestling with questions or fears, struggling in your relationships, or facing a health, financial, or other crisis, these principles will enable you to trust God with your doubts, cease your wavering, and drive a spiritual stake of faith in the ground.

Renewed Finding Your Inner Happy in an Overwhelmed World Lucille Zimmerman
One Thousand Gifts A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are Ann Voskamp
Women often have a difficult time balancing the needs of others with the need to nurture themselves. The demands of mothering, homemaking, work, and carrying out Jesus’ command to love others can leave women exhausted, sick, and resentful. Renewed offers women biblical and psychological permission to do self-care. It helps women understand the need to put themselves on “the list,” and through practical ideas and relatable anecdotes, helps nurture those areas of women’s lives to use them better for work, family, and ministry. Abingdon Press.
How do we find joy in the midst of deadlines, debt, drama, and daily duties? In this smallgroup, video-based study Voskamp reveals the discovery that will open participants’ eyes to ordinary, amazing grace regardless of one’s circumstances. Helps participants enter a new way of life that will restore a joyful heart. Encourages participants to take on the life-changing discipline of journaling God’s gifts—to really look at life and find the good in it.

Men’s Studies A celebration of family life by a dad & former pastor
NEW Know When to Hold ‘Em The High Stakes Game of Fatherhood John Blase Far from a typical parenting book, Know When to Hold ‘Em will encourage readers to see the roles of parent and father in new ways—as adventurers and risk-takers. Not simply another thin, trying-to-be-helpful “10 laws of great parenting” manual, this book moves into new territory as Blase invites fathers and parents into his imperfect, yet lovable, Christian home as he examines the risks, challenges, and great rewards of parenting. Written with the raw prose of one who is there, smack dab in the middle of possibly the greatest challenge of a person’s life, Blase says, “What I’ve seen so far has convinced me that being a father is a lot like gambling—fatherhood is a risk-tasking venture.” Abingdon Press. Coming October 2013.

A 10-session study for men
Support for Christian men from other Christian men
Individual or small-group
Get Real A Spiritual Journey for Men Derek Maul When faced with the impossible expectations of being a man in our culture, of being both tough and tender, sensitive and stoic, many men find it easiest to put up a false face for the rest of the world. Behind that barrier men can find safety from the pressure they feel. But the price for that safety can be high. When Derek Maul found himself behind that barrier with his marriage at risk, he realized that to be honest about his feelings, he would need help from other Christian men to stay grounded in reality. He founded a group, called the Men’s Room where he and others covenanted to pray, share, and support one another in their attempts to get—and stay-—real. Maul shares the insights he learned about sharing honestly with other men in a way that is authentic, brave, and energizing in this engaging and enlightening collection of essays. Upper Room Books.
10 Life-Charged Words Real Faith for Men Derek Maul Men often find church a little…boring. When the church opts for a comfortable status quo instead of meaningful engagement with Christ, it can leave men cold. Because Jesus came to bring a life full of passion and purpose, this study looks at 10 key words, such as excellence, commitment, authenticity, and community—in a collection of meditations that speak to men’s personalities, helping them set priorities, sharpen their focus, and experience the zest of a life filled with meaning.

Christians must explore whether they find security in God or their possessions. Drawing on Scripture, Nouwen emphasizes that individuals must be moved to a common vision in order to feel generous.

Learn good financial habits Rich Church, Poor Church Keys to Effective Financial Ministry J. Clif Christopher
The author offers simple, strategic advice on such difficult questions as: How do I gain access to donor records when my church has prohibited it for a hundred years? How do I explain a meeting with just strong givers without alienating those who aren’t? How can we advocate online giving without encouraging credit card abuse? What should letters to different giving constituencies look like? Abingdon Press.
Unlike leading nonprofit agencies and institutions, churches often fail to convince potential givers that their gifts will have impact and significance. In this book, J. Clif Christopher lays out the main reasons for this failure to capture the imagination of potential givers, as well as methods for communicating stewardship needs and benefits. Abingdon Press.
Does your church have the necessary funds to do ministry? In this important work, made even more relevant by our economic times, Christopher contrasts the traits of productive, transformational congregations with those who perennially fail to secure the funds they need. Gain insight into the necessary financial habits that form the foundation of successful ministry. Abingdon Press.

He demonstrates with real-world examples how to translate this information into strategies and tactics. Includes helpful charts and diagrams, making the material surprisingly easy to digest and share. Abingdon Press. Coming August 2013.
What do vital congregations have in common? Acevedo highlights how churches can develop behaviors that result in vital and fruitful ministry by focusing on spiritual pastoral leadership, lay leadership development, worship, small groups, and service and mission. The book includes brief summaries gleaned from research from the Vital Congregations Initiative, as well as stories from other congregations illustrating vital behaviors in different settings.

NEW Fulfilled Living and Leading with Unusual Wisdom, Peace, and Joy Kirk Byron Jones
NEW Next Surviving a Leadership Transition Marvin A. Moss
Leadership can be mentally, emotionally, and spiritually exhausting. Fulfilled articulates a new approach for exhausted leaders: we must tap into the wellspring of our inner capacities. The author examines three inner capabilities that vibrant leaders draw upon in daily life. These capabilities are not the exclusive possession of the gifted, faithful few, but are grace provided for all. Abingdon Press. Coming September 2013.
Resistance to change is common, and deadly to new church leadership. Leadership transition is a critical point for a church and incoming leaders need a realistic perspective and practical ideas. Moss draws from personal experiences and biblical examples, providing new leaders practical principles and empowering them to build solid foundations effectively, calmly, and with determination—no matter who came before.

Worship is at the center of the congregation’s life. The church, of course, is more than worship, but without vital worship attendance, it is unlikely that members are growing and new disciples are being brought to faith. Worship attendance is also the one factor where improvement tends to help every other aspect of the church’s ministry. This book is written for those who have a passion for more people to worship God. It provides these motivated people the tools they need to reach more people and offers specific strategies for each “attendance season” of the year. Abingdon Press.

Becoming a deeply committed follower of Jesus Christ.

For the church and leadership, the three studies are part of a complete offering. However, the program is flexible enough that group members can take the three studies in any order. The three studies include: • Knowing God – Explore the good news of the Bible and discover Bible study tools and resources to deepen your understanding of God and the Scriptures. • Loving God – Learn spiritual practices that will help you fall more in love with God as you grow in your relationship with God and others. • Serving God – Understand the biblical context for service that will enable you to share your time and spiritual gifts with others. Each Leader Guide includes complete session guides with leader helps for facilitating a six-week study.

The truth is, we don’t have to choose, because Christmas always happens right in the midst of our confusion. God breaks into our confusion and is made known as a human infant. Christmas and confusion—weren’t they intimately related at the first Christmas when Jesus was born? Sometimes we forget that. But, that’s what this book is about—how Christ breaks into our chaos and confusion and brings Christmas—how Bethlehem always happens in the midst of bedlam. This thematic Advent study for 2013 has five sessions—one for each Sunday of Advent and one for Christmas. Each session is related to the overall theme of the book. Each chapter includes questions for reflection and discussion, a brief prayer, a focus for the week, and six daily Bible readings for personal devotional time during the week. Abingdon Press.

Forgiveness Finding Peace Through Letting Go Adam Hamilton
Why? Making Sense of God’s Will Adam Hamilton
There is nothing more crippling than holding on to anger. Anger, more than any other emotion, has the power to consume all aspects of our lives, distort our sense of purpose, and destroy our relationship with God. In this book, Hamilton argues that revelation comes when we realize that forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves rather than to someone else. He also contends that only when we learn to forgive others and ourselves can we truly receive forgiveness from God. Abingdon Press.
When the earth quakes, and homes and schools crumble to dust—When a child suffers from a painful disease, or neglect, or abuse—When a tsunami wave erases an entire city from existence, swallowing thousands of innocent people and pulling them out to sea— When a dictator tears apart a nation in civil war for his own benefit—Why? Life can be hard. Just as soon as you think you’re in the center of God’s will, you get thrown off balance. Prayers seem unanswered; disasters strike; suffering takes hold. Adam Hamilton has been there like you. In Why? he sheds light on understanding the will of God. Rejecting simplistic answers and unexamined assumptions, Hamilton provides reasoned, biblical answers to difficult questions with clarity and depth. Abingdon Press.

Seeing Gray in a World of Black and White Thoughts on Religion, Morality, and Politics Adam Hamilton
NEWLY REVISED When Christians Get It Wrong Adam Hamilton When adults, ages 18–34, talk about their problems with the church, they most often name certain attitudes and behaviors on the part of Christians. Among these are judging others, condemning those who belong to other religions, rejecting science, injecting politics into faith, and focusing exclusively on “hot-button” moral issues like homosexuality. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Out in the world followers of Jesus are making a difference with lives of significance and service. Adam Hamilton offers hope that following Jesus can be more about open doors than locked fences, more about serving people than judging them, more about joyful living than angry fighting. Abingdon Press. 9781426775239 Hardcover Book also available, visit Cokesbury.com) (
Everyone agrees that America is polarized, with ever-hardening positions held by people less and less willing to listen to one another. No one agrees on what to do about it. One solution that hasn’t yet been tried, says Adam Hamilton, is for thinking people of faith to model for the rest of the country a richer, more thoughtful conversation on the political, moral, and religious issues that divide us. Hamilton rejects the easy assumptions and sloppy analysis of black and white thinking, seeking instead the truth that resides on all sides of the issues, and offering a faithful and compassionate way forward.

NEW shiny gods finding freedom from things that distract us Mike Slaughter
NEW Dare to Dream Creating a God-Sized Mission Statement for Your Life Mike Slaughter Dare to Dream is a startling and inspiring new program by popular author and pastor Mike Slaughter that draws on the Bible and a lifetime of ministry to help us discern God’s dream for us and learn to live it out, prayerfully and enthusiastically. Participants will learn how to develop a life mission statement that helps them fully commit to a God-directed lifestyle. Abingdon Press. Coming December 2013.
What happens when we truly put God first in all aspects of our lives? In a culture guided chiefly by shiny distractions, “enough” seems elusive and keeps us indebted to that next source of satisfaction. What if the Giver of Life offered freedom from this downward spiral—would you take it? In shiny gods, pastor and author Mike Slaughter helps readers reassess priorities and create a culture of giving with special emphasis on missions. Abingdon Press.

Change the World Recovering the Message and Mission of Jesus Mike Slaughter
Hijacked Responding to the Partisan Church Divide Mike Slaughter and Charles E. Gutenson with Robert P. Jones
Christians are known more for exclusivity than for love, and more for potlucks than for solving world hunger. Jesus called us to live a life of active faith, feeding the poor, healing the sick, welcoming the alien, and rescuing the desperate. This book presents serious choices that we must make as we consider the direction our congregation will take and make some difficult decisions about how we will focus our time, energy, and budgets to work for real change in a hurting world. Abingdon Press.
Partisan politics has infiltrated many churches, and political commitments are creating unnecessary divisions, often obscuring the properly holistic nature of the gospel of Christ and turning people off to Christianity altogether. Too often, it seems that politics trumps theology. In Hijacked, Mike Slaughter and Charles Gutenson explore this phenomenon, offer analysis, and propose a way forward. We can rescue the church from the infiltration of partisan politics. Abingdon Press.

The Right Church Live Like the First Christians Charles E. Gutenson
NEW Church Worth Getting Up For Charles E. Gutenson
Many of us long for a faith like the first Christians. But what can we really know about these people from long ago? We may be surprised to see how “our” contemporary, hot-button issues were viewed in the early church. This book examines how the early churches addressed issues related to poverty, wealth, creation care, war, social issues, and more and how their insights can still work today. Abingdon Press.
While research identifies a disturbing exodus from church life by all age groups and young people in particular—many churches continue to maintain the status quo. How have some churches failed and others not? How can churches find new ways to encourage, nurture, guide, inspire, and motivate people? To help, Gutenson presents the thoughts of eight successful church leaders, including Deb and Al Hirsch, Mike Slaughter, Nadia Bolz-Weber, Chris Seay, Greg Boyd, Olu Brown, and Doug Pagitt.

NEW I Love Growing Older, But I’ll Never Grow Old J. Ellsworth Kalas Growing older is a process. Growing old is a conclusion. If you’re growing older you see some hope because you have perspective and you keep learning. If you’ve grown old, you may cynically think that times have never been as bad as they are now, and that they can only get worse. This book is about learning how to “make peace with where you are right now.” It’s about growing—personally, spiritually, and in our relationships with God and others. If we think properly about growing older we’ll never have to grow old. Abingdon Press. 9781426755927

NEW Do Your Best and Trust God for the Rest James W. Moore
For small groups, Sunday school, or individual study
Popular author James W. Moore discusses the idea that God doesn’t expect us to be perfect. Instead, God simply asks us to be faithful, and he will do and be what we cannot. Moore, through personal experience, shares how “God has the power to redeem! God can take our weaknesses, our foibles, our feeble efforts and redeem them and use them for good. God can take our defeats and turn them into victories!” This book also contains a group discussion guide. Abingdon Press. Coming August 2013.

Moore’s warm, conversational style inspires readers to transform negative, pessimistic attitudes into positive, optimistic attitudes centered on the love and hope of Jesus Christ. The book includes a study guide designed for both group and individual use, featuring questions related to each chapter. Abingdon Press.
Drawing on Scripture and his own stories, Moore explores how to embrace the New Testament theme found as the by-product of being in “right” relationships—of being “at home” with God and with others. More than once, Jesus reminds us that the Great Commandment is to love God and to love other people. And that is what Matthew 6:33 is all about: “But seek first God’s kingdom and his righteousness and everything else will fall into place for you.” Abingdon Press. 9781426753299

Moore We make excuses, find scapegoats, and assign blame to other people, circumstances, past events, even evil spirits, in an attempt to distance ourselves from the bad choices we make with our own free will. Moore challenges readers to recognize such situations and to grow beyond them. This revised edition includes a new introduction and a group discussion guide. Abingdon Press.
Using his gift of storytelling and his ability to reach others with the turn of a phrase, Moore shares God’s love and Jesus’ teachings with everyone. The advice he offers on grief, love, career, school, family, church, transitions, and especially life lived in the presence of God is always welcome.

Sinning Like a Christian A New Look at the Seven Deadly Sins William H. Willimon The seven deadly sins are a well-known topic, but, surprisingly, not much has been written about them in recent years from a serious theological viewpoint. There is an increasing dissatisfaction with shallow, feelgood Christianity—which does not attempt to grapple with our propensity to do evil. This unflinching look at the meaning and substance of sin, will be of great interest to Christians. Discussion questions by the author are included. This revised edition also includes a new introduction. Abingdon Press

The Best of Will Willimon Acting Up in Jesus’ Name William H. Willimon
NEW Incarnation The Surprising Overlap of Heaven and Earth William H. Willimon
He’s been called a contrarian, a provocateur, and one of the 12 most effective proclaimers of the gospel in the English-speaking world. He’s been a pastor, a chaplain, a bishop, and an author of more than 60 books. Here are Willimon’s best writings on what it means to be a faithful Christian, the gospel’s refusal to be co-opted by the culture, and the strangeness of Christian faith, all presented by one of God’s most “peculiar prophets.” Abingdon Press.
This book, part of the Belief Matters series, demonstrates how the Incarnation seeks us, and how we can respond to become Jesus’ hands and feet in the world. It is the first in the Belief Matters series of books: easy-to-understand reflections on major theological topics, suitable for individual or group study. Abingdon Press.

Grace. We talk as though we understand the term. It politely occupies a phrase in a hymn, but never causes trouble or demands a response. Have you been changed by grace? Strengthened by grace? Softened by grace? God’s grace has a drenching about it. A white-water, riptide, turn-youupside-downness about it. It rewires you. From afraid to die to ready to fly. Grace is the voice that calls us to change, then gives us the power to pull it off. Thomas Nelson.

This book answers these questions and shows that the steps for making life matter are found in rather ordinary decisions, attitudes, and patterns found in normal routines. Abingdon Press.

BASIC Study Series Francis Chan From the creators of NOOMA comes BASIC, a series of seven DVD-based studies that invite us all to reclaim the simple, full, and beautiful journey that church was always intended to be. Each of the seven studies includes a DVD and a Personal Reflection Guide. David C. Cook Publishing.
The true source of the church’s power is the Holy Spirit. Sadly, could it be that we’ve forgotten the One who distinguishes us from every religion and cult in the world? Chan contends that we’ve ignored the Spirit for far too long, and that without the Spirit, we operate in our own strength, only accomplishing human-sized results. This study offers a compelling invitation to understand, embrace, and follow the Holy Spirit’s direction in our lives.

Living Crazy Love An Interactive Workbook for Individual or Small-Group Study Francis Chan and Mark Beuving
Multiply: Volume 1 Disciple-Making for Ordinary People Francis Chan and Mark Beuving
The God of the universe loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss. But, we are called to a passionate love relationship with God. Because the answer to religious complacency isn’t working harder at a list of do’s and don’ts— it’s falling in love with God. Living Crazy Love is designed to help us move beyond the status quo and pursue the crazy, relentless, all-powerful love of God. David C. Cook Publishing. 9781434703873 9781434766274

Jesus handpicked common, uneducated men to build his church. Several were fishermen. One was a tax collector. All could be labeled “ordinary.” Yet under their leadership, the church flourished. Today, the church looks to “trained professionals” to do the work. Lay people who have tremendous potential are made to feel inadequate, believing that they “don’t know enough” to be of much help. This material is designed to change that. David C. Cook Publishing.

How God Became King The Forgotten Story of the Gospels N.T. Wright
Simply Jesus Who He Was, What He Did, Why It Matters N.T. Wright
New Testament scholar N.T. Wright reveals how we have been misreading the Gospels for centuries. We need to restore the lost central story of the Scripture—that the coronation of God through the acts of Jesus was the climax of human history. Our spiritual beliefs have for too long been focused on the afterlife. Instead, the forgotten story of the Gospels reveals why we should understand that our real charge is to sustain God’s kingdom here and now. HarperCollins. 9780061730573

Being United Methodist What It Means, Why It Matters J. Ellsworth Kalas This study explores such questions such as—Who are these people called Methodists? Where have they come from, and where are they going? And how is it that so few of them really know what it means to be a Methodist?

Discover and live God’s dream for your life
Churchwide participation DVD-based
NEW Dare to Dream Creating a God-Sized Mission Statement for Your Life Mike Slaughter
6 sessions
Are your goals for the New Year too small? Are you living the “just get by” plan? Or is there a greater “God dream” for you that, if lived to the fullest, could permeate and inform every move you make? Dare to Dream is a startling and inspiring new program by popular author and pastor Mike Slaughter that draws on the Bible and a lifetime of ministry to help us discern God’s dream for us and learn to live it out, prayerfully and enthusiastically. Participants will learn how to develop a life mission statement that helps them fully commit to a God-directed lifestyle. Use this small preview book during Christmas services as an excellent invitation to return for the sermon and study after the New Year. Abingdon Press. Coming December 2013.

a new stewardship program based on Mike Slaughter’s book, shiny gods
first
putting GOD first in living and giving by Mike Slaughter
NEW What happens when we truly put God first in all aspects of our lives? In a culture guided chiefly by shiny, life-promising distractions, “enough” seems elusive and keeps us indebted to that next source of satisfaction. What if the Giver of Life offered freedom from this downward spiral— would you take it? In first, pastor and author Mike Slaughter guides participants through a 4-week all-church stewardship program to help them reassess priorities and create a culture and a lifestyle of giving—with a special emphasis on missions. The first stewardship program is anchored by a group study facilitated by the shiny gods book, DVD, leader guide, and the churchwide first devotions book.

Churchwide Studies From Max Lucado Grace More than We Deserve, Greater than We Imagine Max Lucado
Ages 6–Adults
Grace. It politely occupies a phrase in a hymn, fits nicely on a church sign. Never causes trouble or demands a response. When asked, “Do you believe in grace?” who could say no?
7 sessions
Nonquarterly
Max Lucado asks deeper questions: Have you been changed by grace? Shaped by grace? Strengthened by grace? Emboldened by grace? Softened by grace? Snatched by the nape of your neck and shaken to your senses by grace? God’s grace has a drenching about it. A wildness about it. A white-water, riptide, turn-you-upside-downness about it. Grace comes after you. It rewires you. From insecure to God secure. From regret-riddled to better-because-of-it. From afraid to die to ready to fly. Grace is the voice that calls us to change and then gives us the power to pull it off. Let’s make certain grace gets you. DVD study kit includes: seven video sessions featuring Max Lucado, Participant’s Guide with conversation starters and discussion questions, Leader’s Guide, and Spanish language tracks for each video session.

The Story The Story is a multi-age-level curriculum that invites the whole church to engage in a rewarding life journey. Based on 31 stories found in the children’s version of the book, The Story captivates and empowers participants as they engage in the Bible as a seamless, compelling story. It’s a story of “the big picture,” not just a collection of random adventures. The series is particularly designed to meet the educational needs of both large and small groups. Children’s lessons encourage hands-on learning through activities such as Scripture reading and paraphrasing, sharing, movement, arts and crafts, and activity sheets. Snack ideas accompany many of the lessons as well. The curriculum for teens and adults encourages them to dive deeper into Scripture with their small groups. Zondervan.

The Way Walking In the Footsteps of Jesus Adam Hamilton
Journey with Adam Hamilton as he takes a fascinating look at the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. In this third and final study in the trilogy exploring Jesus’ life, Hamilton once again approaches his subject matter with thoughtfulness and wisdom, just as he did with Jesus’ crucifixion in 24 Hours That Changed the World and with Jesus’ birth in The Journey. Here, using historical information, archaeological data, and stories of faith, Hamilton follows in the footsteps of Jesus from his baptism, the temptations, and moving through his ministry to the people he loved, the healing he brought, the parables he taught, and the enemies he made. This program can be used at any time in the church year and includes resources for worship, promotion, and ideas for a full church family initiative. Also ideal as an individual devotional.

Churchwide Advent & Christmas Studies A different kind of Advent/Christmas study
Learn to live generously
A Different Kind of Christmas Living and Giving Like Jesus Mike Slaughter
Family growth in faith Children/Youth/Adults
How is it that even the most committed of faith travelers look to Christmas as the ultimate fulfillment of a year’s worth of hopes and dreams? We lean on this one day for happiness it was never meant to provide—or was it? Could it be that letting go of our selfish wants might open us to discover the Gift offered for our truest needs?
5 weeks
A Different Kind of Christmas is a practical and inspirational new study for the Advent season. Based on Mike Slaughter’s popular book Christmas Is Not Your Birthday, this five-week study will empower your family and your church to avoid the traps and discontentment of consumerism and reclaim the broader missional meaning of Jesus’ birth. Help your church cast a vision for how Christians can experience the true joy of living and giving like Jesus, beginning with the Christmas season, and ultimately as a lifestyle of following God’s call to live generously in fulfillment of God’s mission in the world.

NEW Finding Bethlehem in the Midst of Bedlam James W. Moore Christmas or confusion, Bethlehem or bedlam….Which will you choose this year? The truth is, we don’t have to choose, because Christmas always happens right in the midst of our confusion. God breaks into our confusion and becomes known in Jesus Christ. Christmas and confusion—weren’t they intimately related at the first Christmas when Jesus was born? Sometimes we forget that. But, that’s what this book is about—how Christ breaks into our chaos and confusion and brings Christmas, how Bethlehem always happens in the midst of bedlam.
Sunday school, large- or small-group Children, Youth, Adults 5 sessions
This thematic Advent study for 2013 has five chapters, one for each Sunday of Advent and one for Christmas. Each chapter is related to the overall theme of the book, recognizing that God is with us through Jesus Christ in all circumstances in life. Each chapter includes questions for reflection and discussion, a brief prayer, a focus for the week, and six daily Bible readings for personal devotional time during the week. The 2013 Adult Study for Advent includes 25 daily devotions for the Christmas season, written by Pamela Dilmore. Abingdon Press.

TIPS:
Prophets and Kings
• Advent begins Sunday, December 1, this year. Coordinate education plans with the church’s celebrations for Advent and Christmas. Be sure substitute teachers have curriculum resources. • Distribute winter curriculum material. Adjust your spring order if necessary. • Help your church understand and celebrate All Saints Day. Children can look around the church for items given in memory of someone. Let children talk about people they knew who have died and remember their good times together. Let the children make a banner for All Saints Day showing butterflies, flowers, and other symbols of eternal life. Adults may wish to use All Saints Day as a time to remember the saints in their own lives. • Include Thanksgiving worship in classes by singing songs of praise, encouraging children to talk about their plans for Thanksgiving, and asking them to tell why they think we celebrate a national day of thanksgiving. Have them make a mural of things we are thankful for, or to name different things we are thankful for, and share the list with the congregation. • Remember to use a variety of tools as teaching aids in Sunday school. The Common English Bible Maps and the Bible Timeline can be invaluable aids to understanding the story of the Bible.

• All plans for Holy Week and Easter celebrations should be completed. Release publicity now.
Jesus and the Children – Luke 18:15-17
• Continue planning for summer Sunday school. Do you need to recruit more teachers? Will you combine classes? Summer can be a good time to present special studies with guest speakers, intergenerational settings, musicals, or dramas. Check Cokesbury for available curriculum. Ask the teachers about other resources they might enjoy. Plan a time at the end of the summer to tell the congregation about your experiences.
A Man Born Blind – Luke 18:35-43 Zacchaeus – Luke 19:1-10 The Lord’s Supper – Luke 22:7-23, 33-34 Praying in the Garden – Luke 22:39-46
