    Centering Discipleship

    A Pathway for Multiplying Spectators into Mature Disciples

    Foreword by Jerome Wagner

    The Enneagram opens a remarkable window into the truth about us, enabling us to see how image, wounds, lies, triggers, and default responses shape us every bit as much as our faith. But simply diagnosing our number doesn't do justice to who we are. Nor does it necessarily change us or our relationships. Transformation happens as we grow in awareness and learn how to engage and reflect God's image. ...

    Reconsidering Biblical Metaphors for Atonement

    by Brad Vaughn
    Foreword by Joshua M. McNall

    Theologian Brad Vaughn believes Christians can gain clarity and unity on the doctrine of the atonement through a renewed attention to the biblical evidence. While theological theories are necessary and useful, they can obscure reality as much as clarify it. And we're often ignorant ...
