paperbackNeither Poverty nor Riches
A Biblical Theology of Possessions
New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Craig L. Blomberg
Series edited by D. A. CarsonGive me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. (Proverbs 30:8) One of the most difficult questions facing Christians today is that of the proper attitude toward possessions. In wealthy nations such as Britain and the USA, individuals accumulate much and yet are daily exposed to the plight of the poor, whether the homeless on their own city streets or starving children ...

paperbackStewards in the Kingdom
A Theology of Life in All Its Fullness
by R. Scott Rodin
Too often we think stewardship concerns only the money we give to the church. But in the image of the steward, the Bible offers a perspective on our entire relationship with God. Here we have a full and fresh picture of being Jesus' disciples and living life in all its fullness. R. Scott Rodin unpacks what it means for us to be stewards in the kingdom of the triune God of grace. This theology of ...

Tending Our Grief Through Spiritual Practices
by Terra McDaniel
We need to rediscover lament to heal and hope again.
We've lost the practice of lament. Most people don't know how to process personal or communal mourning and instead struggle to honor their tears, vulnerability, and the full weight of these disillusioning times. But tending our grief might be exactly what we need to reimagine a way forward.

paperbackHoly Is the Day
Living in the Gift of the Present
by Carolyn Weber
Life pulls us in many directions, sometimes even to the point of pulling our souls apart. We know rest and reflection are necessary for a healthy life—even Jesus took time to get away from the crowds, away from the demands of everyday life, to pray, to spend time with close friends, to sleep. But when Carolyn Weber—emotionally and physically exhausted from managing her career as a college professor, ...

Finding Your Power to Abolish Modern-Day Slavery
by Shayne Moore and Kimberly McOwen Yim
Foreword by Elisa Morgan2014 Outreach Magazine Resource of the Year
Slavery didn't end in 1833, when William Wilberforce's decades-long campaign finally resulted in the Slavery Abolition Act. It didn't end in 1863, when Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation.

paperbackThe Message of Sonship
by Trevor J. Burke
"Sonship" is an important, yet often overlooked, theme throughout the Bible. Adam, the first human being, is identified as a "son of God"; Israel is God's "first-born son"; the covenant with king David is cast in father-son terms; Christians are children of God, "adopted as sons"; and the same designation brings Scripture to a triumphant conclusion: "He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I ...

hardcoverSurprised by Jesus
His Agenda for Changing Everything in A.D. 30 and Today
by Tim Stafford
We all know who Jesus is--or think we do. We see children flock to him and gentle wisdom lovingly pour from him. We see the kindest man in the world. But these pictures are deceptively familiar. In the Gospels Jesus says and does many puzzling things--like shriveling a fig tree or telling followers to keep his miracles a secret. He is hard on his opponents, the Pharisees, but also makes extreme ...

paperbackGalatians
Paul's Charter of Christian Freedom
by Leon L. Morris
Among the letters of Paul, Galatians burns like a firestorm of apostolic rebuke, persuasion and passion for the truth of the gospel. Against those who would preach "another gospel," Paul deploys an arsenal of biblical-theological reasoning and a rhetoric of vivid, contrasting images that have seldom failed to arrest readers of every era. Freedom in Christ is set against bondage to the law, adopted ...

How to Put Your Past in the Past
by Michael E. McCullough, Steven J. Sandage, and Everett L. Worthington Jr.
Forgiving can be one of the hardest things you'll ever do. Perhaps you sense deep down that it will be good for you and others to put the past in the past.

Grounding their analysis and advice in the latest psychological research, the authors ...

paperbackThe Wonders of Creation
Learning Stewardship from Narnia and Middle-Earth
Hansen Lectureship Series
by Kristen Page
Contributions by Christina Bieber Lake, Noah J. Toly, and Emily Hunter McGowinWhen an author of fiction employs the imagination and sets characters in a new location, they are in a sense creating a world. Might such fictional worlds give us a deeper appreciation for our own?
Many readers have found themselves, like the Pevensie children, transported by C. S. Lewis into Narnia, and they have traveled from Lantern Waste to Cair Paravel and the edge of ...
