by Rob Parsons
Rob Parsons' message is for anyone who cares about prodigals. He urges us to be released from false guilt, to stop judging each other, and to remember that God, the perfect parent, has trouble with his children, too.

paperbackHere in Spirit
Knowing the Spirit Who Creates, Sustains, and Transforms Everything
by Jonathan K. Dodson
“I'll be there in spirit.” We say this knowing it isn't really possible. Yet we often find ourselves dislocated from the present, inattentive to things in front of us: people, work, culture, ministry opportunities, prayer, and even the Spirit himself. The Holy Spirit, however, relocates us in the present, motivating us to fully engage whatever God puts before us. Instead of relating ...

Divine and Human Rule in a World of Need
by Dewi Hughes
Foreword by Christopher J. H. WrightAuthor and theologian Dewi Arwel Hughes's conviction is that the suffering, through poverty, of such a vast number of people in our day is overwhelmingly the result of the misuse of power by others.

paperbackHebrews
The IVP New Testament Commentary Series

paperbackJames
N. T. Wright for Everyone Bible Study Guides
by N. T. Wright
With Phyllis J. Le PeauEvery generation in the church worries, rightly, about people who just glide along, seeming to enjoy what they hear in church but without it making any real difference. James faced exactly the same problem in the very first generation. So it's not surprising that translating belief into action--making sure faith is the real thing--is near the heart of his message. That kind of faith, he explains, ...

paperbackJesus with Dirty Feet
A Down-to-Earth Look at Christianity for the Curious Skeptical
by Don Everts
Most folks think of Jesus
as the man who started Christianity. But it turns out
he wasn't just a man,
and he didn't just start Christianity. Most folks think of Jesus
as an other-worldly religious leader,
a great moral teacher,
or maybe they don't think of him at all. But he had dirty feet,
partied,
cooked breakfast
and got himself ...
