A Concise History of the Stone-Campbell Movement

Barton Stone, Thomas Campbell, and Alexander Campbell organized a nineteenth-century Christian renewal movement that later coalesced into three distinct church bodies in the United States: Churches of Christ, The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), and Christian Churches and Churches of Christ.

What is less known is that from these humble origins, the Stone-Campbell Movement has grown globally, now with churches in more than 199 countries. This book tells the story from the movement's beginnings all the way to its international expansion into Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia.

Complete with a study guide and personal reflection questions, this book is ideal for longtime members, new members, and those unfamiliar with the Stone-Campbell heritage. Abilene Christian University Press, www.acupressbooks.com

Following In Christ's Future

We are women.

Somewhere in our time, we acknowledge God's love for us and accept the life God hopes for us. We are baptized women.

Spirit speaks loudly and we share what we see - share the vision our relationship with Jesus creates...challenge our community to be what it is meant to be. We are prophetic women.

From deep within, Spirit stills the flow of our days and we remember the gift God offers us. We work to build bridges where reconciliation to God can take place. We are priestly women.

Engaging our lives, our community, our environment in the direction of God's justice, we show God's ability to heal and restore. We are royal women.

Global Women Connecting exists for all women. We join in fellowship, prayer, study, and service, to share the gospel and cooperate with Christians everywhere toward the unity of the church. We unite, inform, and connect Stone Campbell movement women from around the world by -

Offering mission emphasis through the four-year service project that all participating countries can support.
Hosting a meeting and women's retreat timed with World Convention's Global Gathering to highlight fellowship and networking.
Providing news to GWC Friends in order to share prayers, reflections and information of events and concerns from around the world.

We are moving toward the 19th World Convention Global Gathering in New Delhi, India, January 12-15, 2017. As a woman living and sharing in Christ's love, please share your insight and vision of ways Global Women Connecting can be helpful to you by answering the following short survey.

Introduction

February meditation

March meditation

"O the quiet holy joy of the silent hour, when the soul is alone with God! Have you learned to love it, dear reader? If not, you have yet to attain to one of the purest and sweetest pleasures possible to the Christian in this life" (J.H. Garrison, Alone with God, 21).

If this quotation has appeal to you, you are not alone. Many of us long to spend time alone with a God. But an hour? In our busy lives? Perhaps, like me, you have desired and intended for years to have a regular quiet time with God, but did not know how to begin. If so, then this volume provides a starting point, a daily five-minute devotional that can begin your time with God.
