12-for-12: A Practical Guide to a Year of Spiritual Formation in Community is a resource-rich book for churches and other Christian ministries who want to develop holistically formed disciples and leaders in a group context. 12-for-12 groups are based on the "cardinal directions of the spiritual life:"
● Our upward connection to God
● Our inward transformation
● Our connectedness to "one another" in Christian community
● Our participation in the outward mission of God in the world.
This guide provides tools and resources for a yearlong group of 8-12 people committed to monthly meetings and deep formational work in between. Each chapter focuses on a central facet of spiritual formation and provides homework assignments for the month, including but not limited to readings, prayer exercises, Scripture engagement, and films. Appendices containing guidelines for spiritual practices, full-color artwork for reflection, a complete month-by-month leader guide, and other resources are also included.
The United States is currently undergoing the most rapid demographic shift in its history. By 2050, white Americans will no longer comprise a majority of the population. Instead, they'll be the largest minority group in a country made up entirely of minorities, followed by Hispanic Americans, African Americans, and Asian Americans. Past shifts in America's demographics always reshaped the county's religious landscape. This shift will be no different. Soong-Chan Rah's book is intended to equip evangelicals for ministry and outreach in our changing nation. Borrowing from the business concept of "cultural intelligence," he explores how God's people can become more multiculturally adept. From discussions about cultural and racial histories, to reviews of case-study churches and Christian groups that are succeeding in bridging ethnic divides, Rah provides a practical and hopeful guidebook for Christians wanting to minister more effectively in diverse settings.
Without guilt trips or browbeating, the book will spur individuals, churches, and parachurch ministries toward more effectively bearing witness to the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Good News for people of every racial and cultural background. Its message is positive; its potential impact, transformative.
Write your story. Reflect on your identity. Understand your emotions. And breathe, brother. Breathing as a black man, has now, more than ever, officially become an act of resistance. From Michael Brown to George Floyd, it is evident that saying "I can't breathe" is not a cry for help worth listening to; rather, it is the green light for taking one's life. Add to that the continued violence towards black folks in general, and black existence is seen as threatening. In addition to witnessing such racial trauma, black men specifically have often become subject to the racist narratives of society while also lacking in adequate space for healing and personal development. "breathe" serves to provide space for healing and to promote a journey to wholeness for black men. Along this 45-day guided journal journey, black men will reclaim the narrative of their own story, process the impact of their identity on their existence, and more fully understand the range of emotions that they feel. This guided journal is perfect for black men ages 16+ and will guide them through prompts and activities to which black men don't often give thought. Grab a copy for yourself, your bruhs, your family members, and join the movement, brotha. Follow the movement on IG: @breathebrotha.
