paperbackBreaking the Idols of Your Heart
How to Navigate the Temptations of Life
by Dan B. Allender and Tremper Longman III
We all want to know our lives matter. So did the Teacher in Ecclesiastes. He invested time and energy in every activity he could think of that might bring meaning and purpose to his life but found only disappointment, frustration, hopelessness.

Karl Barth on Forgiveness and the Church
New Explorations in Theology
by Jon Coutts
Foreword by John WebsterChristians regularly ask God to "forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors," but tend to focus on the first half and ignore the second.
Something is missing if Christians think of mission only in terms of proclamation or social justice and discipleship only in terms of personal growth and renewal—leaving the relational implications of the gospel almost to chance. It ...
