Biblical Justice in an Unjust World
by Michael J. Rhodes
Foreword by Brent A.

What Our Mixed-Orientation Marriage Has Taught Us About Love and the Gospel
by Laurie Krieg and Matt Krieg

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.

The Beatific Vision in Doctrine, Tradition, and Practice
by Samuel Parkison

paperbackHoly Is the Day
Living in the Gift of the Present
by Carolyn Weber
Life pulls us in many directions, sometimes even to the point of pulling our souls apart. We know rest and reflection are necessary for a healthy life—even Jesus took time to get away from the crowds, away from the demands of everyday life, to pray, to spend time with close friends, to sleep. But when Carolyn Weber—emotionally and physically exhausted from managing her career as a college professor, ...

paperbackPrayer and the Knowledge of God
What the Whole Bible Teaches
by Graeme Goldsworthy
? Is it really possible to talk to God?
? Does he listen to us?
? How do we know what to say?
? Will it make any difference if we pray? Prayer is central to Christian faith and life and such questions are fundamental. While much teaching on prayer adresses practical issues and is experience-oriented, Graeme Goldsworthy's conviction is that good practice comes from a foundation ...
