Insider Jesus: Theological Reflections on New Christian Movements
by William A. DyrnessChristianity Today's 2017 Book of the Year Award of Merit - Missions/Global Church
Insider Outsider: My Journey as a Stranger in White Evangelicalism and My Hope for Us All
by Bryan LorittsPastor Bryan Loritts dives deep into what it's like to be a person of color in predominantly white evangelical spaces today and where we can go from here.God boldly proclaims throughout the book of Acts that there is no "ethnic home team" when it comes to Christianity. But the minority experience in America today--and throughout history--too often tells a different story.As Loritts writes, "It is impossible to do theology devoid of cultural lenses and expressions. Like an American unaware of their own accent, most whites are unaware of the ethnic theological accent they carry." Insider Outsider bears witness to the true stories that often go untold--stories that will startle, enlighten, and herald a brighter way forward for all seeking belonging in the family of God.This seminal book on race and the church will help Christians discover:How they can learn the art of listening to stories unlike their ownIdentify the problems and pitfalls that keep Sunday morning the most segregated hour of the weekAnd participate in an active movement with God toward a holy vision of what Dietrich Bonhoeffer calls "life together"Drawing on insightful snapshots through history, eye-opening personal experiences, and biblical exposition, Loritts awakens both our minds and hearts to the painful reality of racial divides as well as the hope of forgiveness.

Insight
by Robert M. Doran SJ Bernard Lonergan Frederick E. Crowe, S.J.Insight is Bernard Lonergan's masterwork.

The volume includes introductory material and annotation to enable the reader to appreciate more fully this challenging work.Bernard Lonergan (1904-1984), a professor of theology, taught at Regis College, Harvard University, and Boston College.

Insight Dialogue: The Interpersonal Path to Freedom
by Gregory KramerInsight Dialogue is a way of bringing the tranquility and insight attained in meditation directly into your interactions with other people. It's a practice that involves interacting with a partner in a retreat setting or on your own, as a way of accessing a profound kind of insight. Then, you take that insight on into the grind of everyday human interactions. Gregory Kramer has been teaching the practice (which he originated) for more than a decade in retreats around the world. It's something strikingly new in the world of Buddhist practice--yet it's completely grounded in traditional Buddhist teaching. Kramer begins with a detailed presentation of the central Buddhist teaching of the Four Noble Truths seen through an interpersonal lens. Because dukkha (suffering or unsatisfactoriness) is often most forcefully felt in our relations with others, interpersonal relationships are a wonderfully useful place to practice. He breaks the Noble Truths down into component parts to observe how they manifest particularly in relationship to others, using examples from his own life and practice, as well as from his students'. He then goes on to present the practice as it's taught in his workshops and retreats. There are a few basic steps to the practice, deceptively simple to describe: (1) pause, (2) relax, (3) open, (4) trust emergence, (5) listen deeply, and (6) speak the truth. The sequence begins following a period of meditation, and includes periods of speaking, listening, and mutual silence. Kramer includes numerous examples of people's experience with the practice from his retreats, and shows how the insight gained from the techniques can be brought into real life. More than just testimonials for how well the practice "works," the personal stories demonstrate the problems that arise, the different routes the practice can follow, and the sometimes surprising insights that are gained.

Insight Studies: A Practice-Based Approach to Self-Knowledge and Critical Thinking
by Kenneth MelchinInsight Studies emphasizes the importance of understanding the operations that generate and verify the knowledge we rely on in our daily lives. Grounded in the philosophy of Bernard Lonergan, the book employs a practice-based approach similar to learning a musical instrument, fostering critical thinking skills through engaging learning modules. The book features modules that include puzzles with detailed instructions to help learners focus on their own cognitive processes and operations of knowing. This approach broadens the scope of critical thinking to encompass the operations of questioning, understanding, verifying, valuing, and cooperating. Each chapter illustrates the relevance of these skills across various fields, including ethics, conflict resolution, psychology, sociology, philosophy, politics, and personal relationships. Structured as a nine-module course text, Insight Studies can be adapted for in-class, online, or self-directed learning. Designed to be learner friendly, this book equips readers with transformative skills that are applicable to everyday life.

Insourcing: Bringing Discipleship Back to the Local Church (Leadership Network Innovation Series)
by Chip Ingram Kitti Murray Randy PopeToo many of today’s pastors and leaders mistakenly think that thriving programs, lively worship services, and relevant preaching are adequate for developing people into the spiritual dynamos God desires. In many churches, the primary objective of the church—personally discipling individuals into mature followers of Jesus—has been “outsourced” to large-scale programs. But are people truly being disciple and taught how to follow Jesus? Are they growing in spiritual depth and missional determination? Twenty-five years ago, the leadership team of Perimeter, Randy Pope’s rapidly growing church realized that nothing but personal discipleship could account for the uniqueness of individuals and the call of God on each person’s life. Perimeter calls their approach “life-on-life missional discipleship,” and this book tells the story of how they learned to bring discipleship back from the margins of church life to the mainstream. Many pastors and leaders are slowly awakening to the reality that current models of ministry just aren’t working the way they had hoped they would. Randy’s journey as a pastor will encourage you and invite you to consider the effectiveness and fruitfulness of your own church’s discipleship efforts.
