Product Description:
Unbinding Your Heart: 40 Days of Prayer & Faith Sharing is a brilliant book -- witty, engaging, and grounded in a four-year, national Lilly Endowment study of superb evangelism. Unbinding Your Heart is a six-week individual and small-group study for your entire congregation. It is the culmination of the Real Life Evangelism Series, by author, researcher, pastor and attorney Martha Grace Reese. Church leaders should first studyUnbinding the Gospel (the church leaders' study) that was selected by The Christian Century as a featured 'Take and Read' book in its 2007 Book Issue. Then use Unbinding Your Heart as a study and devotional for the whole congregation (for fall, lent or summer). The third book in the series, Unbinding Your Church (the pastor's guide), will help you plan, teach, pray and organize both your leaders' study and your all-church study. Your entire congregation will begin to pray, to talk about their faith, and to risk sharing their faith beyond church walls.
The Real Life Evangelism Series has been enthusiastically endorsed by 8 heads of denominations, Brian McLaren, George Hunter, Becky Garrison, Todd Hunter, Richard Peace, and countless pastors and church leaders.
Important Note: Order a copy of Unbinding Your Heart for each person participating in the study. There is an individual prayer journal included to be used by each participant.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - A Must-Read for Church Pastors and Leaders
Martha Grace Reese has spent years studying that dynamics of church evangelism and offers her wisdom in this three book series. But for Reese this is a personal passion - she believes in the life-changing gift of the church and is empowering us, through these books, to make a difference. Reese has "unbound her heart" in this book so that we can see a glimpse of the possibilities before us as local church pastors and leaders. This is a must read for every pastor and leader of a mainline church.
Rating: - Reese hits a home run
Mainline churches have not won any evangelism series for a long time. Just as the Boston Red Sox broke the curse of the Bambino, the Real Life Evangelism Series knocks one out of the park. Reese equips mainline church leaders with prayerful and practical tools needed to change the church through the power of Christ's redeeming love.
Rating: - Get Unbound!
This approach is, of course, based on "Unbinding the Gospel" and works best with a leadership-based understanding of those principles. And you really want to read that, anyhow.
But if you've felt like you've tried "40 Days of . . .whatever" and it just didn't fly, try this -- really. Especially for mainline/oldline congregations who find some of the language or approaches in Saddleback or other denominational programs too, um, "too," this approach is basic, straightforward, but utterly ...
