paperbackA Jigsaw Guide to Making Sense of the World
by Alex McLellan
Puzzled about life? Sometimes the world doesn't make sense. Things seem random and disconnected, and we wonder if there's any purpose to it all, any meaning to our lives. But what if everything could make sense? What if the scattered pieces are actually meant to fit together? Alex McLellan says that figuring out life is like assembling a jigsaw puzzle. You don't have to have every piece in place ...

paperbackTrue Love in a World of False Hope
Sex, Romance Real People
by Robbie F. Castleman
In a sex-saturated society, sex is on everyone's mind. And Christians are no exception. For many unmarried people, sex is the forbidden fruit, which makes it all the more intriguing.

Robbie Castleman believes reclaiming purity in relationships is a journey toward ...

A Christian Approach to Death and Burial
by Kent Burreson and Beth Hoeltke
A Christian case for natural burial
The promises of the Christian gospel are never more precious or more beautiful than in the context of death and burial. And yet current burial practices in Western society are archaic and impersonal. They fail to confront us with the reality of death, and they make it harder to process death or to grieve properly.

paperbackSubversive Mission
Serving as Outsiders in a World of Need
by Craig Greenfield
For many, missions is the story of heroes, martyrs, and the advance of the gospel. For others, it's the story of colonialism and missionary disasters. So how do we respond to God's call to love our neighbors as a new era emerges?

paperbackChristianity versus Fatalistic Religions in the War Against Poverty
by Udo Middelmann
Most literature and many aid efforts concerned with poverty relief and development function on mathematical assumptions. Those who have more should share with those who have less, thus creating equality. Some would add a moral component saying that those having more are morally wrong and must have gained their surplus from outright theft or unfair trade. But on the side of the needy, religious ...

Reading Revelation in Light of God's Mission
by Dean Flemming
For many Christians, the book of Revelation inspires confusion and fear. It's seen as a coded screenplay for the end times, or it's just too strange to understand. The problem, Dean Flemming contends, is that when we read Revelation as focused on the future, we miss what it says about what God is doing in the world now.
Revelation is one of the richest texts in Scripture ...

paperbackExplorations in Asian Christianity
History, Theology, and Mission
Missiological Engagements
by Scott W. Sunquist
Asia is the birthplace of Christianity. If Christianity is not usually seen as an Asian religion, that is because the history of Christianity in Asia has long been a difficult one.

Scott W. Sunquist is a recognized ...

Spiritual Practices for Who God Made You to Be
by Alastair Sterne
Who are you becoming? And how will you get there?

In this practical book Alastair Sterne shows how we can craft a life of more ...
