    The Crucifixion of Ministry

    Surrendering Our Ambitions to the Service of Christ

    by Andrew Purves

    As a pastor, do you ever get the feeling that no matter what you try, nothing much seems to change? That is because the ministries themselves are not redemptive--they are not up to you.

    Chrysostom's Devil

    Demons, the Will, and Virtue in Patristic Soteriology

    New Explorations in Theology

    by Samantha L. Miller
