Liberty to the Captives: Our Call to Minister in a Captive World de Raymond Rivera

Liberty to the Captives: Our Call to Minister in a Captive World

Autor Raymond Rivera Jose Carlos Montes
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 sep 2012
Liberty to the Captives is a book for any Christians who want to learn how to bring hope and redemption to their communities -- for those who are ready to step beyond their comfort zone, leave the status quo behind, and take up Christ's call to minister within a world crying out for the freedom only God can bring. Longtime pastor Raymond Rivera's testimony of a life completely turned around -- from gang member to RCA pastor -- underscores his powerful message.Full of practical advice about how holistic community-based ministry can bring transformation, healing, and liberation from captivity, "Liberty to the Captives" encourages Christians to respond to God's call by ministering wherever God has placed them. Based on over forty-five years of pastoring inner-city churches, Rivera's inspiring vision challenges all Christians to think again about how their faith should lead to social action and defense of society's most vulnerable people.

Recenzii

Jim Wallis (from foreword)"Ray should be considered an elder statesman in the world of social justice. He has mentored thousands of pastors, activists, and faithful followers for many years -- both directly and indirectly -- and with the publication of Liberty to the Captives, a brand-new generation has the change to benefit from his wisdom and experience."Eldin Villafa e-- author of Beyond Cheap Grace"Personal, practical, and prophetic. . . . With sound biblical and theological knowledge and provocative insights, Rivera calls and challenges the church to seek a new level of urban engagement for the shalom of the city."John M. Perkins-- author of Let Justice Roll Down"This book needs to be read as all of us are living in a culture of captivity. Indeed, it is relevant to the church at this moment.

Ray Rivera has masterfully woven the biblical narrative with his years of incarnational ministry leadership. . . . Ray's keen insights empower both clergy and laity with the tools to fulfill their prophetic and pastoral call to engage the powers and set the captives free. This is a must-read!"Luis Carlo-- Associate Dean, Alliance Theological Seminary, New York City"A journey of faith and theological reflection in the making of a man and his mission who is himself immersed in the urban context. Drawing from over four decades of ministerial experience in New York City, Raymond Rivera clearly and succinctly tells his story through the lens of biblical exposition, pastoral imagination, and practical application, which he
