Come Closer

Come for…
Help. Relief.
When your heart’s sore
When you’re hungry and still want…more

The Love you’ve almost quit longing for waits for you in Jesus’ irresistible “come” invitations. Jane’s vibrant, vulnerable look at these familiar words will open your heart to the life, love, and feast you’ve been missing. Humor and unforgettable stories put skin on the Scriptures, and bring back to life hope, help, and new ways to draw you nearer to God. Come alongside Jesus, and you’ll dance with him at the wedding feast, walk with him on water, feed the 5,000, and enter His joy.

Come Closer—to life, Jesus, and a new you.

Each chapter includes engaging ideas, application exercises, discussion or reflection questions, plus: The Girlfriends’ Guide to Come Closer for how to use this book for personal or group Bible study!

Resting Place:
A Personal Guide to Spiritual Retreats
(InterVarsity Press: 2005)

A personal retreat. We've never needed it more. We run from one place to the next--from meetings and appointments to our kid's soccer practice, from class to work to choir rehearsal, from the grocery store to small group--and then drop into bed later than we hoped, exhausted and dreading the morning. We want to slow down but don't know how and don't really believe that we can. And often, the idea of a personal retreat--time for solitude and silence--makes us feel as anxious as all our frenzied rushing. What in the world would we do with an hour, an afternoon or (gulp!) a whole day of solitude with God?

These retreats help us enter Psalm 23 rest, a place of true rest and trust in our loving, gentle Shepherd. Full of quotes to contemplate, Scripture to meditate on, questions, prayer and journaling ideas, and ideas for creativity, Jane Rubietta leads us to and through times of silence and solitude that will follow us into our everyday world as we learn to allow Jesus to guide, comfort and restore us.

Grace Points:
Growth and Guidance in Times of Change
(InterVarsity Press: 2004)

SOMETIMES WE GET LOST. We lose our sense of who we are, what life is about and where God is in the midst of it all. This sense of lostness often comes in times of transition whether in a move from one city to another, a health crisis, the loss of a family member through death or divorce, or downsizing at work. Jane Rubietta has written this book to help us find God in the wilderness of life changes. Here you'll find healing through encouraging stories from women's lives, Scripture, reflection questions and much more.

God has good gifts for you even in the wilderness. Come and find them!

How to Keep the Pastor You Love
(InterVarsity Press, 2002)

“Overwhelm your pastor with love and appreciation”
(I Thes. 5:12-13)

33% of pastors leave churches due to conflicts with the congregation, with goals or expectations

In one denomination alone, 100 ministers are forced out of ministry each month

The average tenure of all clergy is 2.3 years

When church members need comfort or spiritual guidance, they go to the pastor. But where do pastors go when they have a concern?

"After a few years in ministry I saw so many casualties across the country - broken pastors, church conflict, abandoned callings, ruined marriages, too-brief stays in church, burnout," says Jane Rubietta. "And very few denominations have a structure in place that is confidential, caring, affordable, and accessible to help them."

Designed for individual and group use, with practical application points for parishioner and pastor alike, How to Keep the Pastor You Love enables the congregation to become part of that support system for ministers. Rubietta's book helps develop stronger pastor-congregation relationships with open communication, accountability, support and honesty.

How to Keep the Pastor You Love educates congregations and church leaders on issues pastors face, such as frequent moves and expectations of the church, the pastor's spiritual life, care for the pastor's spouse and children, and financial compensation.

Between Two Gardens: From Eden to Gethsemane
(Bethany House, 2001)

A Soul Journey Through the Bible's Most Important Gardens

The gardens of Eden and Gethsemane represent turning points for humanity that are often little understood. In Between Two Gardens, Jane Rubietta invites you to take a soul journey through the Bible's most important gardens and explore their similarities and significance for us today. The work of Creation in Eden was completed by the work of the redemption in Gethsemane. Yet many Christians are caught between the gardens. We strive for the fullness of Gethsemane's promise but are often mired in the mud and matted with the dust left over from Eden's exile. Though we run in shame and live life separated from God and one another, Jesus invites us into the accomplishments of Gethsemane and into the garden of new life. In this deeply moving devotional, forty contemplative readings with practical applications call us to return to the Garden, exploring the soul's longing for fellowship, acceptance, freedom, purpose, and ultimately, fulfillment in God
