paperbackCreator
A Theological Interpretation of Genesis 1
by Peter J. Leithart
The Christian claim that the triune God is the creator of the universe is both exegetically grounded and theologically rich.

by David G. Firth
The book of Esther tells the dramatic story of how the destruction of the Jews was averted through the bravery of Esther, the wisdom of Mordecai, and the unity of the Jewish people.

Without denying the role of the Holy Spirit or the cognitive role of illumination, Ike Miller casts a broader vision of divine illumination ...

paperbackThe Adolescent Journey
An Interdisciplinary Approach to Practical Youth Ministry
by Amy E. Jacober
Adolescence is a time of individuation--children are slowly finding their identity as adults, separate from their parents and other adult influences. Such a critical time of psychological development is complicated by cultural influences that shape their expectations of adulthood and color how they relate to other people and even God. The task of the youth pastor becomes to help adolescents navigate ...
