The program that supports 24 Hours that Changed the World includes: 1) a DVD that contains session video filmed in the Holy Land and a leader's guide; and 2) a paperback devotional book.
DVD with Leader Guide In the companion DVD that also functions beautifully on its own, we travel to the Holy Land with Adam Hamilton to visit the sites where those earth-shaking events took place. We walk where Jesus walked and see what he may have seen, along the road that led to the pain and triumph of the cross. The enclosed Leader Guide is designed to facilitate small group discussion about the content in the printed resource and the companion DVD. In addition to the questions and exercises keyed to each session, the Leader Guide features two format options (60-minute and 90-minute) and suggestions of ways to make the study a meaningful experience for any group.
Devotions based on Adam Hamilton’s powerful book 24 Hours That Changed the World In this companion volume that can also function beautifully on its own, Hamilton offers 40 days of devotions enabling us to pause, reflect, dig deeper, and emerge changed forever. The devotions, ideal for use in Lent or any other time of the year, include Scripture, reflection on the events of Jesus’ final day, stories from Hamilton’s own ministry, and prayer.
Lauren Winner shares the spiritual practices she has adopted in her quest to reconcile Judaism and Christianity in Mudhouse Sabbath.
Despite her conversion from Orthodox Judaism to Christianity, Lauren Winner finds that her life is still shaped by the spiritual essences of Judaism--rich traditions and religious practices that she can't leave behind. In Mudhouse Sabbath, Winner illuminates eleven spiritual practices that can transform the way we view the world, and God.
Whether discussing her own prayer life, the spirituality of candle-lighting, or the differences between the Jewish Sabbath and a Sunday spent at the Mudhouse, her favorite coffee shop, Winner writes with appealing honesty and rare insight.
In the Mudhouse Sabbath DVD: Seven Ways to Christian Formation Inspired by the Jewishness of Jesus, this resource challenges the reader to encounter the Jewish context that nurtured Jesus, explore spiritual practices of hospitality, mindful eating, prayer and fasting, and mourning and to deepen one's Christian faith by incorporating these things into life habits.
