Belton Joyner has revised his best-selling resource for introducing the United Methodist Church. In a humorous yet respectful style, Joyner takes the reader through illuminating questions and answers on United Methodist terms and beliefs on God, Jesus, the Bible, the church, salvation, and more. Examples of Joyner's questions include â oeWhy did Jesus have to die?â � â oeWho was John Wesley, and who were all those other figures?â � â oeIs the Bible infallible?â � â oeWhat is The Book of Discipline?â � This revised edition includes new sections on United Methodism as a global church, United Methodist ministries beyond the congregation, and United Methodist theology in conversation with other Christian traditions. It has also been updated to reflect recent changes to The Book of Discipline and the orders of ministry. The book's question-and-answer format easily lends itself to use in Sunday school classes and also works for individual study. From new recruits to lifelong United Methodists, readers will gain a lively sense of what is special and important about their denominational home.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>â oe<i>Change of Heart</i> is a powerful story of faith, forgiveness, and reconciliation. This is a painfully honest account of a remarkable and courageous journey from the tragedy and pain of the murder of family members to a place of freedom and grace.â � â "Maurice Possley, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author<br><br><p>â oeA person is more than the worst thing he or she has ever done. God loves all human beings and endows them with dignity and worth. Juvenile life without parole sentences tell people who committed their crimes as juveniles that they are human garbage, to be thrown away into the maw of prison until the day they die. The criminal justice system in the United States, which deems some people unworthy of redemptionâ "even children who commit serious crimesâ "urgently needs to hear voices that speak for mercy and restoration. Jeanne Bishopâ (TM)s is such a voice.â � â "Sr. Helen Prejean, activist and author of <i>Dead Man Walking</i><br><br><p>â oeThere is a lot of grace in Jeanne Bishopâ (TM)s elegant, elegiac book <i>Change of Heart</i>, but it is not a wimpy hearts-and-flowers kind of grace. Instead, it is a heartfelt, gut-wrenching kind of grace. Powerful grace. Transformative grace. This is an utterly surprising story of redemption. It is an unflinching look at the very real cost of blessingâ " truly blessingâ "someone else. Jeanneâ (TM)s story of restorative justice haunts me. The stunning letter she wrote to her sisterâ (TM)s murderer still lingers. And the story of the grace of the gift of two quarters is one I will retell and retell again. Change of heart is what happens when someone, in the depths of despair, cries, â ~This is too much for me. God, take it and redeem it, â (TM) and believes ... no matter the cost. Please read this book.â � â "Robert Darden, associate Professor of Journalism PR & New Media at Baylor University and author of Nothing but <i>Love in God's Water.</i><br><br><p>"<i>Change of Heart</i> is a tragic story of senseless violence, horrific loss, and, in the end, forgiveness that is astonishing. I kept asking myself â " 'As a Christian, could I be as strong and merciful as Jeanne Bishop? ' I have my doubts." â " John Grisham, bestselling author<br><br><p>"This book is an extraordinary witness for survivors of crime and all of us who seek a more compassionate, thoughtful and responsible way to manage the tragic ways we hurt each other. Courageous and honest, Ms. Bishopâ (TM)s compelling story is a gift for anyone seeking a way to think about punishment and reconciliation in a society where families are too often burdened by violence and the avenging politics of fear and anger."--Bryan Stevenson, Founder and Director of the Equal Justice Initiative and author of <i>Just Mercy</i><br>
