    Redeemed Sexuality

    12 Sessions for Healing and Transformation in Community

    by Andrew A. Boa
    Foreword by William M. Struthers

    Sexual brokenness permeates our culture and has found its way into the church. Even though Christians are called to value and celebrate sexuality as sacred and good, it is often a source of fear, shame, or secret sin. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Healthy sexuality concerns what we pursue, not just what we avoid, so Redeemed Sexuality invites emerging adults to ...

  • Mary for Evangelicals: Toward an Understanding of the Mother of Our Lord, By Tim Perry
    paperback

    Mary for Evangelicals

    Toward an Understanding of the Mother of Our Lord

    by Tim Perry
    Foreword by William J. Abraham

    • Winner, 2007 World Guild Best Biblical Studies Book

    Is Mary for evangelicals? Should there be such a thing as an evangelical Mariology? Is she Our Lady, too? With his feet planted firmly in the evangelical tradition, Timothy Perry began to think that there must be more to Mary than generally meets the evangelical eye. Should we maintain that two thousand years ...

  • We Believe in One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, Edited by Angelo Di Berardino
    hardcover

    We Believe in One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church

    Ancient Christian Doctrine Series

    Edited by Angelo Di Berardino

    When was the church founded? Jesus spoke of the kingdom of God and not of a religious organization subsequently called church. We don't find in the Gospels expressions which make reference to the foundation of a new religious community, a new and distinct community of followers of Jesus. But after the resurrection of Jesus, his followers, as a result of his express command, gather ...

  • We Believe in One God, Edited by Gerald L. Bray
    hardcover

    We Believe in One God

    Ancient Christian Doctrine Series

    Edited by Gerald L. Bray

    "We believe in one God, the Father." The opening clause of the Nicene Creed can be summed up in a single word—monotheism. In the early centuries of the church, this striking doctrine stood starkly against a cultural background of multiple deities and spiritual powers. While it clearly builds on its Jewish heritage, calling God "Father" anticipates the Father-Son relationship ...

  • We Believe in the Holy Spirit, Edited by Joel C. Elowsky
    hardcover

    We Believe in the Holy Spirit

    Ancient Christian Doctrine Series

    Edited by Joel C. Elowsky

    "The Spirit blows where it pleases," Jesus said to Nicodemus. "You hear its sound but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."

    The Spirit, like the wind, is hard to pin down. Any discussion of the Spirit is fraught with the difficulty of speaking about something or someone who defies definition and who purposely ...

    paperback

    Great to Good

    How Following Jesus Reshapes Our Ambitions

    by Jae Hoon Lee

    Greatness is overrated.

    People tend to measure success by worldly standards. We assume that greatness comes from charisma, influence, and followers. But God cares more about our character than about what people around us think of our reputations.

    Pastor Jae Hoon Lee challenges us not to pursue greatness but to grow in goodness. Jesus called his followers to cultivate ...

    Dietrich Bonhoeffer

    Costly Grace

    Christian Classics Bible Studies

    by Dale Larsen and Sandy Larsen

    "Only he who believes is obedient, and only he who is obedient believes," wrote Dietrich Bonhoeffer in his classic work, The Cost of Discipleship. What does it mean to be a disciple of Christ? Is it enough to believe? What part does obedience play? These are the questions that Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrestled with for the whole of his life. Sorting through Bonhoeffer's questions and ...

  • The Missional Quest: Becoming a Church of the Long Run, By Lance Ford and Brad Brisco
    paperback

    The Missional Quest

    Becoming a Church of the Long Run

    Forge Partnership Books

    by Lance Ford and Brad Brisco
    Foreword by Ed Stetzer

    When Christ calls people, he invites them on a journey—a journey taken together in community. We have reached a point in history, however, when we think of the church as a fixed place where isolated individuals show up, consume a Christian message, drink some coffee, and get on with their lives. The times demand, and the gospel proclaims, that we recover our identity as a church that is a people ...
