God is faithful to rescue and restore sinners with the gospel of grace. Sinners like Rahab, the prostitute-- and sinners like us. No matter your past and no matter your situation, hope is possible, because Jesus has made redemption possible. See the proof through the life and legacy of Rahab, a woman who God redeemed. With this six-week study on Rahab's life, renew your sense of awe for God's redemptive work in your life. This study contains memory verses, daily study, and group discussion questions to guide you deep into Joshua 2 and the beauty of God's saving grace.
The exodus—the story of God leading his chosen people out of slavery in Egypt—stands as a pivotal event in the Old Testament. But if you listen closely, you will hear echoes of this story of redemption all throughout God's Word. Using music as a metaphor, the authors point us to the recurring theme of the exodus throughout the entire symphony of Scripture, shedding light on the Bible's unified message of salvation and restoration that is at the heart of God's plan for the world.
Americans have been shocked by media reports of the dismal working conditions in factories that make clothing for U.S. companies. But while well intentioned, many of these reports about child labor and sweatshop practices rely on stereotypes of how Third World factories operate, ignoring the complex economic dynamics driving the global apparel industry. To dispel these misunderstandings, Jane L. Collins visited two very different apparel firms and their factories in the United States and Mexico. Moving from corporate headquarters to factory floors, her study traces the diverse ties that link First and Third World workers and managers, producers and consumers. Collins examines how the transnational economics of the apparel industry allow firms to relocate or subcontract their work anywhere in the world, making it much harder for garment workers in the United States or any other country to demand fair pay and humane working conditions. Putting a human face on globalization, Threads shows not only how international trade affects local communities but also how workers can organize in this new environment to more effectively demand better treatment from their distant corporate employers.

Sailing on the winds of a dream. "People are much more fun than museums." That's really not to commit any blasphemy against the museums of this earth, great as they are. But it sums up in one short sentence just why a former Medinan, experienced civil engineer, father of ten daughters, would slice two years out of the center of his life and - as they say - "chuck it all" for the wanderlust life of a seafaring traveler. Why he would become head of a six-person family group making its way across the Atlantic, wandering the heaths and hedges of England, entering the Dutch canal system, lazily wandering through the French wine country to the Mediterranean, crossing to Malta for an end-of-year docking. J. Thomas Forrestel, native of Akron, NY, long-time resident of Shelby Center, turned this corner in life with a firm decision: "I knew if I was ever going to do it, it would have to be now." At 49, Forrestel just felt that way - and that was the way it was going to be. There are hardly any among the great legion of working people who spend eight hours a day at desk or machine, who have not silently wished, in a "Walter Mitty" moment, for some refreshment in their routine - a total change. Be a beach bum? Join the pro golf tour? Shoot the Colorado rapids? Live by a cool lake in northern Canada in a spot far from the real world? This odyssey of Mr. Forrestel and half his immediate family was really not the product of some magic wand which suddenly transported him from reality to the open sea. Far from it. It began when he was a boy of less than a half dozen years. "I spent the first 15 summers of my life on lakes," Forrestel told a Journal-Register interviewer. "My father taught us to sail as little kids with a catboat on Loon Lake (near Hornell). " For Tom Forrestel the boating interest was later transferred to ownership of two 16-foot day sailing boats of the snipe class. In 1963, he and his shipmate wife, Jo Payjack Forrestel, got their first taste of real salt spray when they took one snipe and headed for the winter racing circuit in Florida, the Bahamas and Bermuda. Big things lead to bigger things and in the early 1970's he and wife, Jo, had seen several of their ten daughters leave the nest (a comfortable sprawling home in Shelby Center). They then began looking through boat folders. It was in the Dutch canal system that Forrestel learned the genuine person-to-person friendliness that was to impress him all through Europe. No fancy American tourist he - just a cruising vagabond with his family who could not speak the language, but somehow, strangely, could carry on a smiling, animated conversation and coax just about any kind of help and warmth out of the lock tenders, barge people, and the like. The reporter folded his notebook and asked Forrestel, "Now, exactly why did you make the decision to do this?" The skippers final word: Curiosity. Written by Bob Waters, former publisher and editor of the Medina Journal.
A Gospel-Rich, Reproducible Model for Making Disciples as Jesus Intended Biblical discipleship emphasizes encouragement, repentance, and spiritual growth—essential parts of the Christian life. However, well-meaning believers often struggle to follow Jesus, unaware their views are too legalistic, licentious, or individualistic. How can churches and Christians develop a healthy, successful path to disciple-making? In this second edition of Gospel-Centered Discipleship, Jonathan Dodson presents an effective, Spirit-led model for sanctification. Reminding readers that real discipleship is imperfect yet transformational, Dodson encourages Christians to engage more authentically with others as they grow in faith. Drawing from his own failures and successes while following Jesus, Dodson defines discipleship, describes the heart of a disciple, and gives practical guidance for mentor and peer-based discipleship as Jesus intended. Revised and Expanded: Includes three new chapters and new illustrations Applicable: Shows how discipleship can be practical and gospel-centered Theological: Addresses the Holy Spirit's involvement in discipleship Foreword by Matt Chandler: Author of The Explicit Gospel
