Messy Grace Book
$14.99 $10.00
Caleb Kaltenbach was raised by LGBT parents, marched in gay pride parades as a youngster, and experienced firsthand the hatred and bitterness of some Christians toward his family. But then Caleb surprised everyone, including himself, by becoming a Christian…and a pastor.
Very few issues in Christianity are as divisive as the acceptance of the LGBT community in the church. As a pastor and as a person with beloved family members living a gay lifestyle, Caleb had to face this issue with courage and grace.
Messy Grace shows us that Jesus’s command to “love your neighbor as yourself” doesn’t have an exception clause for a gay “neighbor”—or for that matter, any other “neighbor” we might find it hard to relate to. Jesus was able to love these people and yet still hold on to his beliefs. So can you. Even when it’s messy.
What Should I Buy?
FOR PERSONAL STUDY
The Series features episodic, story-driven videos integrated with biblical teaching. Series are ideal for entertainment, edification, and conversation.
This daily guide helps you apply lessons learned in the Series through personal devotions, thoughtful questions and bible verses for reflection. Use the Journal for personal study in conjunction with the Series.
FOR GROUP STUDY
This kit contains everything you need to host a group (minus the snacks). Includes: one Series, one Leader’s Guide, one Journal, and various bonus items that vary per title.
Extra Leader’s Guides
Some groups prefer for each participant to have their own leader’s guide. The Leader's Guide is designed to facilitate meaningful discussion by providing carefully crafted questions and guidance to compliment the Series. It is easy to follow and includes helpful tips on how to lead a small group.
Extra Journals
If you want the best experience for your small group, we recommend that each person in the group also uses the journal. One is included for you in the kit, but additional copies can be purchased a la cart.
CHURCH CAMPAIGN/SERMON SERIES
The Pastor’s Kit includes everything needed to plan a sermon series: a special video message for pastors, video guide for implementing a church-wide program, sermon transcripts with notes, video clips to accompany sermons, sermon bumpers (short video clip to introduce each week’s sermon), and digital art files to use in creation of bulletins and other promo materials.
Order in Bulk
Order Leader’s Guides, Journals, and Series in bulk to get the best rates. Each Small Group will need one Leader’s Guide, one Series, and a Journal for each participant.
MOVIE NIGHT
Movies are available for select titles. These feature films are perfect for at-home entertainment or church and outreach events. Movie License Event Kits are required for group showings and come with additional materials for promotion.
OTHER PRODUCTS
Many of our studies are also books. While the book and study complement each other and cover the same themes, they are not designed to be used simultaneously. The Journal and Leader’s Guide products are designed for the purpose of a guided study.
For select titles you will find t-shirts, wristbands, artwork or other accessories may be available. We prefer to only create items that we feel will enhance the experience of that study (for example, the not a fan t-shirt has led to many conversations about Jesus and even stories of conversion).
