Bringing together expertise in Christian theology and sociology, Lisa Stephenson and Ruthie Wienk write from the conviction that service to others--especially those who are disenfranchised and impoverished--is central to our identity and mission as Christians.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRedemptive Service\u003c\/i\u003e articulates the biblical, theological, and sociological foundations of service and explains why it is an important part of true Christian identity. The authors use the parable of the Good Samaritan to frame redemptive service as a twofold process. First, true Christian service must emerge from a genuine love of our neighbor, which can only come about when service emerges from a Christian worldview. Second, our vision must be accompanied by intentional and informed action.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe authors highlight why we should engage in service while providing readers with a framework to use when deciding whom to serve and how to serve well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 29, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47377454268665,"sku":"9781540965691","price":89.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/uG8mpjC7S49781540965691_a9f3aeaa-c45f-4397-99b7-69494f4e2863.webp?v=1770034306","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/redemptive-service-hardcover-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
