When we choose retreat, we make a generous investment in our friendship with Christ. We are not always generous with ourselves where God is concerned. Many of us have tried to incorporate regular times of solitude and silence into the rhythm of our ordinary lives, which may mean that we give God twenty minutes here and half an hour there. And there’s no question we are better for it! But we need more. Indeed, we long for more. In these pages Transforming Center founder and seasoned spiritual director Ruth Haley Barton gently leads us into retreat as a key practice that opens us to God. Based on her own practice and her experience leading hundreds of retreats for others, she will guide you in a very personal exploration of seven specific invitations contained within the general invitation to retreat. You will discover how to say yes to God's winsome invitation to greater freedom and surrender. There has never been a time when the invitation to retreat is so radical and so relevant, so needed and so welcome. It is not a luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual life.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →In his cogent book, Coming to Jesus: Giving a Good Invitation, evangelism professor and spiritual awakenings historian Roy Fish presents the biblical and historical justification for the invitation-the public appeal to respond to the gospel-and counsels preachers in giving effective invitations. Fish demonstrates the biblical nature and history of the invitation by exploring public appeals that occur in the Old and New Testament and that took place during the spiritual awakenings of modern history. Fish also champions the public nature of the invitation with examples of Jesus' emphasis on public confession and explains how preachers of the gospel may appeal in sensitive and rhetorically sound ways for their hearers to become followers of Jesus.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →An essential guide in the art and instruction of issuing Christ's invitation to the lost. Historic denominations are dying. Church memberships and baptisms plummet with every passing year. Pastors and church leaders are concerned about their churches plateauing. Why? One of the major reasons is because congregations aren't being publicly called to faith in Christ. A growing number of evangelical pastors have opted for non-confrontational approaches to calling people to faith in Jesus. Some seminaries have removed evangelism classes from their curriculum and pastors aren't being taught how to give an effective, God honoring public invitation, void of manipulation. Authors O.S. Hawkins and Matt Queen are asking church leaders to reconsider and rediscover the effectiveness of asking people to publicly decide to follow Christ. O.S. Hawkins is a respected pastor who has led thousands to faith in Christ in both church and public settings. Matt Queen is a trusted and gifted professor of evangelism who has consulted multitudes of pastors in personal and congregational evangelism. Together, they wrote The Gospel Invitation to assist others in successfully issuing a public appeal to receive Christ. The Gospel Invitation covers: A brief history of public gospel invitations The biblical justification for gospel invitations Practical and proven instructions for incorporating invitations into sermons Best practices The Gospel Invitation will equip pastors, seminary students, and anyone who evangelizes with the confidence to share the gospel and help more people come to Christ.
