    Walking Through Twilight

    A Wife's Illness—A Philosopher's Lament

    by Douglas Groothuis
    Foreword by Nicholas Wolterstorff

    How do you continue to find God as dementia pulls your loved one into the darkness? Nothing is simple for a person suffering from dementia, and for those they love. When ordinary tasks of communication, such as using a phone, become complex, then difficult, and then impossible, isolation becomes inevitable. Helping becomes excruciating. In these pages philosopher Douglas Groothuis ...

    Searching for Honest Faith When Your World Is Shaken

    by Kent Annan

    In the wake of a historic earthquake in the fragile country of Haiti, Kent Annan considers suffering--from the epic to the everyday--as a problem for faith. Less than two weeks after the release of Kent's book about his work with Haiti Partners, he heard the news. Friends trapped under the rubble of buildings. Friends sprinting across the city looking for family. Churches--including one Kent ...

    Evangelism for Non-Evangelists

    Sharing the Gospel Authentically

    by Mark R. Teasdale

    Evangelism. The very word makes palms sweat and images spin: buttonholing in a city park, knocking on neighborhood doors, being conscripted into evangelistic campaigns, to say nothing of that annoying religious neighbor or coworker. We have met the evangelists—and they are not us. If evangelism is the welcome door to faith, why does it grate open on rusting hinges? ...

    An Impossible Marriage

    What Our Mixed-Orientation Marriage Has Taught Us About Love and the Gospel

    by Laurie Krieg and Matt Krieg

    "People say our marriage is impossible."

    Laurie and Matt Krieg are in a mixed-orientation marriage: a marriage in which at least one partner's primary attraction isn't toward the gender of their spouse. In the Kriegs' case, Laurie is primarily attracted to women—and so is Matt.

    Some find the idea of mixed-orientation marriage bewildering or even offensive. But as the ...

    One Woman's Journey into Everyday Antiracism

    by Jenny Booth Potter
    Foreword by Austin Channing Brown

    During a bus ride with a group of fellow college students, Jenny Booth Potter came to a life-changing realization. She decided that racism in all its forms—in policies and systems, in organizations and churches, in neighborhoods and families–could no longer be tolerated. And even though Jenny didn't know what to do about racism, she was certain of one thing: doing nothing ...

    paperback

    The Revelation to John

    A Commentary on the Greek Text of the Apocalypse

    by Stephen S. Smalley

    The Revelation to John by Stephen Smalley is a magisterial interpretation of John's Apocalypse as a grand drama, which can only be properly understood in light of John's Gospel and letters and in the context of the Johannine community. As such, it offers the reader a significantly different approach to this enigmatic text than that offered by most contemporary commentaries. Working directly ...

    1 and 2 Kings

    An Introduction and Commentary

    Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries

    by Donald J. Wiseman

    The book of Kings is a unique source for understanding the history of Israel from the last days of the united kingdom under David to the eventual fall of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. Presenting Israel's national history from a divine viewpoint, these narratives measure the kings of Israel and Judah not by the mark they leave on secular history, but by their "doing what is right in the Lord's ...

    1 Chronicles

    An Introduction and Commentary

    Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries

    by Martin J. Selman

    The Chronicler wrote as a pastoral theologian. The congregation he addressed was an Israel separated from its former days of blessing by a season of judgment. The books of 1 and 2 Chronicles bring a divine word of healing and reaffirm the hope of restoration to a nation that needed to regain its footing in God's promises and to reshape its life before God.

    The Chronicler expounds the Bible ...
