Mental Illness and the Church's Mission
by Amy Simpson
Foreword by Marshall ShelleyChristianity Today Book Award Winner
Leadership Journal Book AwardMental illness is the sort of thing we don't like to talk about. It doesn't reduce nicely to simple solutions and happy outcomes. So instead, too often we reduce people who are mentally ill to caricatures and ghosts, and simply pretend they don't exist. They do exist, however—statistics ...

paperbackTheology for Better Counseling
Trinitarian Reflections for Healing and Formation
Christian Association for Psychological Studies Books
by Virginia Todd Holeman

paperbackThe Openness of God
A Biblical Challenge to the Traditional Understanding of God
by Clark H. Pinnock, Richard Rice, John Sanders, William Hasker, and David Basinger

paperbackRead the Bible Smarter, Not Harder
Exploring the Stories Behind the Books
General Editor Christopher R. Smith
There is an increasing recognition that we need to engage the Bible as a collection of books. But we haven't been taught to read or study the Bible on the book level. Almost all of our approaches to the Bible are based on chapters, verses, or sections, so how do we change this? The units of meaning in the Bible are not chapters, or verses, or topical sections, but the literary compositions that ...

paperbackCat & Dog Prayer
Rethinking Our Conversations with Our Master
by Bob Sjogren and Gerald Robison
Cats and dogs respond differently to their masters's care. While the dog thinks "You must be God!" the cat thinks "I must be God!" When we first become believers, we still have a natural tendency to be self-centered, especially in how we pray. As a result, many Christians prayers that are more of a laundry list of "all about me" requests. Because God doesn't answer these kinds of prayer, we tend ...

product setQuestions in Christian Philosophy
How do we know? What should we do? What is real? What is art?
Philosophy, which means "the love of wisdom," asks such questions in its pursuit of knowledge and understanding of all facets of life: existence, knowledge, ethics, art, and more. But what does it mean for Christians to pursue wisdom when Scripture affirms that the crucified and risen Christ is "the wisdom of God" ...
