paperbackThis Ordinary Adventure
Settling Down Without Settling
by Christine Jeske and Adam Jeske
They started out living the dream. They promised themselves and each other that every day would be an amazing day. They even stuck that phrase—"Amazing Days"—on their refrigerator, like Martin Luther pounding his conviction into a door and launching the next great era of the church. "Ready or not," they told the world, "here we come." They traveled the planet, doing missions and community development ...

Practicing Oneness in Marriage

Faith-Inspired Activism for a Post-Civil Rights Generation
by Adam Taylor
Foreword by Jim WallisMartin Luther King Jr. read the words of the apostle Paul to the church in Rome--"Be transformed by the renewing of your mind"--as a call not to retreat from the world but to lead the world into the kingdom of God, where peace and justice reign.

paperbackThe Problem with Paul
by Brian J. Dodd
Was Paul a chauvinist? Was he a prude? Was he anti-Semitic? Why did Paul condone slavery? How might he have fared on the Oprah Winfrey Show? People outside the church have often found Paul hard to stomach. His views on women, sex and marriage, his failure to attack the institution of slavery, and his verbal attacks on his opponents have all come under fire. Regrettably, Paul hasn't ...

paperbackSanctification
Explorations in Theology and Practice
Edited by Kelly M. Kapic
Often treated like the younger sibling in theology, the doctrine of sanctification has spent the last few decades waiting not-so-patiently behind those doctrines viewed as more senior. With so much recent interest in ideas like election and justification, the question of holiness can often seem to be of secondary importance, and widespread misunderstanding of sanctification as moralism or undue ...

Forming Christian Identity Among Skeptics, Syncretists and Sincere Believers of Other Faiths
by Len Kageler
Foreword by Chap ClarkIn simpler, more homogenous times, youth ministry was a relatively straightforward activity.

paperbackCalled by Triune Grace
Divine Rhetoric and the Effectual Call
Studies in Christian Doctrine and Scripture
by Jonathan Hoglund
Christians confess that God calls people to salvation. Reformed Christians, in particular, believe this is an effectual calling, meaning that God sovereignly brings about salvation apart from human works. But in what sense does God actually 'call' us? Does a doctrine of effectual calling turn people into machines that lack any personal agency?
In this lucidly ...
