Why Believing in God Is Reasonable and Responsible
Edited by William Lane Craig and Chad Meister
- 2011 Outreach Magazine Book Award winner
- 2010 Christianity Today Book Award winner
The days have passed when the goodness of God--indeed, the reality of God itself--could reasonably be called a consensus opinion. God's reputation has come under considerable review in recent days, with some going so far as to say that it's not we who've made a mess ...

paperbackWhen God Became White
Dismantling Whiteness for a More Just Christianity
by Grace Ji-Sun Kim
Foreword by David P. GusheeWhen Western Christians think about God, the default image that comes to mind is usually white and male. How did that happen?
Christianity is rooted in the ancient Near East among people of darker skin. But over time, European Christians cast Jesus in their own image, with art that imagined a fair-skinned Savior in the style of imperial rulers. Grace Ji-Sun Kim explores the ...

hardcoverWe Believe in One God
Ancient Christian Doctrine Series
Edited by Gerald L. Bray
"We believe in one God, the Father." The opening clause of the Nicene Creed can be summed up in a single word—monotheism. In the early centuries of the church, this striking doctrine stood starkly against a cultural background of multiple deities and spiritual powers. While it clearly builds on its Jewish heritage, calling God "Father" anticipates the Father-Son relationship ...

paperbackGod, Freedom and Human Dignity
Embracing a God-Centered Identity in a Me-Centered Culture
by Ron Highfield
Does God's all-encompassing will restrict our freedom? Does God's ownership and mastery over us diminish our dignity? The fear that God is a threat to our freedom and dignity goes far back in Western thought. Such suspicion remains with us today in our so-called secular society. In such a context any talk of God tends to provoke responses that range from defiance to subservience to indifference. ...

paperbackPortraits of God
A Biblical Theology of Holiness
by Allan Coppedge
What is God like? Answering this is the great quest of human existence. Because God is so different from us, we struggle to describe him. While doctrinal statements about God certainly have their place in Christian understanding, the Bible more often uses God's actions and roles to help us know him better. Indeed, some of the most helpful insights in Scripture arise when God is compared to something ...

paperbackGod Is Stranger
Finding God in Unexpected Places
by Krish Kandiah
Foreword by Andy Crouch- 2018 Creative Quarterly Professional Graphic Design Runner-Up
Who is God? Many of us call God our Father, Lord, Savior, and Friend. But when we delve into the perplexing bits of Scripture, we discover a God who cannot be explained or predicted. Is it possible that we have missed the Bible’s consistent teaching that God is other, higher, stranger? ...

paperbackEvangelism and the Sovereignty of God
by J. I. Packer
Foreword by Mark DeverJ. I. Packer's Classic Resource on Evangelism
If God is in control of everything, can Christians sit back and not bother to evangelize? Or does active evangelism imply that God is not really sovereign at all?
J. I. Packer shows in this new edition to the popular IVP Classics how both of these attitudes are false. In Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God, readers ...

paperbackHearing God
Developing a Conversational Relationship with God
by Dallas Willard
Foreword by James Bryan SmithBeing close to God means communicating with him—telling him what is on our hearts in prayer, and hearing and understanding what he is saying to us. But how do we hear God's voice? How can we be sure that what we think we hear is not our own subconscious? What role does the Bible play? What if what God says to us is not clear?
The key, says bestselling author Dallas ...

paperbackDesiring God's Will
Aligning Our Hearts with the Heart of God
The Spiritual Journey
by David G. Benner
Foreword by Thomas H. GreenMost people think of God's will as something to be found or as the receiving of guidance from God when making decisions. Too often, however, the problem is not that we don't know what God desires for our lives, but rather that we just don't want to do what we already know he wants. How might our wills be changed so that we become both willing and able to do what God asks of us? In Desiring ...

paperbackGod Talk
Cautions for Those Who Hear God's Voice
by Ruth A. Tucker
Does God speak? The answer seems clear. Books abound on the topic of hearing God's voice. And many believers testify to God's conversational guidance in their life: "God told me to help you." "I knew it was God speaking to me." Our culture reinforces the idea that speaking--constant speaking--is good and natural and essential. In those rare moments during a day when talking ceases or when we're ...
