Reseña del libro "God's Focus on the Fatherless: A Lens to Inform Spiritual Impact in the Local Church (en Inglés)"
God's Focus on the Fatherless is an excellent thematic study guide offering a fresh perspective to leaders of local churches who desire to be in tune with God's heart for the marginalized within our communities. God's repeated exhortations (i.e., fatherhood, brokenness, compassion, authority, relationship, presence, justice . . .) are brought to the fore in a focused study that will expand the Christian understanding of God's compassionate heart for the least among us. The principles are timeless and presented in a format accessible to leaders and students of the Bible alike. The fresh perspective is sure to cause a greater ownership of ministry in both the local church and the local community. The ""fatherless"" principles presented will facilitate positive personal and corporate changes in a church's unique ministry setting. Pastor Chaplain Dwight Croy brings his rich Christian upbringing and experience in the pastorate, chaplaincy, and teaching juvenile boys in a residential setting to guide instruction concerning God's address of the fatherless. This study fits nicely into a twelve-week period and is formatted and prepared for teaching in a small group setting. The study will inspire fervent discussion and then move quickly to practical application. ""Dwight Croy is on a passionate and prophetic mission--to call our attention to the fatherless all around us. Written from the heart of a father who has ministered to soldiers in combat and juvenile delinquent boys in trouble, God's Focus On The Fatherless addresses the critically important role of fatherhood in a culture drowning in loneliness, abandonment, and isolation. A must-read for every pastor, chaplain, and church leader pursuing the heart of God."" --Chaplain (Major General) Doug Carver, United States Army, Retired (22nd Army Chief of Chaplains) Dwight David Croy (BRE, MDiv, DMin) is an experienced pastor and retired Army chaplain who teaches in a residential home for juvenile boys in North Carolina.
