paperbackThe Last Things
Contours of Christian Theology
by David Höhne
There is no shortage of books on eschatology—the study of the last things and the end-times. Many arise out of incoherent or superficial readings of the Bible that detract from the "once and for all" achievements of God through the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Others fail to consider the manner in which God reveals himself through the Lord Jesus and by the power of his Spirit. Too many ...

caseboundForty Days on Being a Four
Enneagram Daily Reflections
by Christine Yi Suh
Series edited by Suzanne Stabile"How are you feeling?"
Christine Yi Suh says that this has always been a hard question. She writes: "The more accurate question for a Four may be, 'What aren't you feeling?' I can grab my prevailing emotion and tell you how I'm doing from that emotion's point of view (joy, elation, sadness, grief, confusion—you name it!). I live and breathe a kaleidoscope of living, feeling, ...

How Faith Practices Fuel Social Action
by Mae Elise Cannon
Throughout history, Christians have been called by God to active engagement in society on behalf of the poor and oppressed. Christian leaders have been instrumental in caring for people who are poor, fighting injustice and advocating for social change. But they have never done so on their own power. Their energy and zeal were fueled by inner spiritual practices that propelled them forward into the ...

paperbackThe Theological Turn in Youth Ministry
by Andrew Root and Kenda Creasy Dean
Christianity Today Book Award of Merit winner
What haunts your youth group? So often we avoid talking about doubts and fears because we feel inadequately equipped to address them in any meaningful way. The crisis of existence can't be answered with pat Sunday school formulas or a few Bible verses, let alone another relay race.

paperbackHopeful Lament
Tending Our Grief Through Spiritual Practices
by Terra McDaniel
We need to rediscover lament to heal and hope again.
We've lost the practice of lament. Most people don't know how to process personal or communal mourning and instead struggle to honor their tears, vulnerability, and the full weight of these disillusioning times. But tending our grief might be exactly what we need to reimagine a way forward.

paperbackSavoring Scripture
A Six-Step Guide to Studying the Bible
by Andrew Abernethy
Foreword by Charlie DatesSome books on how to read the Bible are academically informative, but their rationality can make God seem distant. Other books are spiritually vibrant but provide few tools that truly help God's people read the Bible better. Readers need a guide that combines the academic with the spiritual—that integrates textual analysis with the illuminating and transformational work of the Holy ...

Suburbia: Paradise or Wasteland? Suburbia is a place of spiritual yearnings. People come to suburbia looking for a fresh start, the second chance, a new life.

Yet much in our suburban world militates against such aspirations, ...

paperbackLetters for the Church
Reading James, 1-2 Peter, 1-3 John, and Jude as Canon
by Darian R. Lockett
Biblical Foundations Book Awards Finalist
The Catholic Epistles often get short shrift. Tucked into a few pages near the back of our Bibles, these books are sometimes referred to as the "non-Pauline epistles" or "concluding letters," maybe getting lumped together with Hebrews and Revelation. Yet these letters, Darian Lockett argues, are treasures hidden in ...
