    An Introduction to Biblical Ethics

    Walking in the Way of Wisdom

    by Robertson McQuilkin and Paul Copan

    What should we do or not do? What attitudes, behavior and qualities are good? Can we be good without God? What is the highest good, the purpose of human existence?

    Foreword by Dallas Willard

    Why memorize the Bible? In our information-saturated society, with so many details to take in, the idea of memorizing Scripture can seem overwhelming--like one more task on a checklist.

    Transforming Resources

    by Adele Ahlberg Calhoun

Invitations pound away at the coastlines of the soul with a transforming force. God is also sending invitations. Sometimes they seem less compelling than anything on my to-do list. ...
