    The Trinity and the Cross, and Why It Matters

    by Thomas H. McCall

    "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?" How should a Christian interpret this passage? What implications does the cross have for the trinitarian theology? Did the Father kill the Son?

    Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God

    by J. I. Packer
    Foreword by Mark Dever

    J. 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 ...

    The Reluctant Witness

    Discovering the Delight of Spiritual Conversations

    Lutheran Hour Ministries Resources

    by Don Everts

    New research finds that Christians are less involved in spiritual conversations today than we were twenty-five years ago. As society has changed, it seems we have become more uncomfortable talking with people about our faith. We are reluctant conversationalists. The reality is that many of our churches and communities are shrinking instead of growing. What can we do about this? ...

  • A Mouth Full of Fire: The Word of God in the Words of Jeremiah, By Andrew G. Shead

    A Mouth Full of Fire

    The Word of God in the Words of Jeremiah

    New Studies in Biblical Theology

    by Andrew G. Shead
    Series edited by D. A. Carson

    "I am putting my words as a fire in your mouth; these people are tinder and it will consume them." (Jeremiah 5:14) In the book of Jeremiah, not only is the vocabulary of "word" and "words" uniquely prevalent, but formulae marking divine speech also play an unprecedented role in giving the book's final form its narrative and theological shape. Indeed, "the word of the Lord" is arguably the main ...

  • The Feasts of Repentance: From Luke-Acts to Systematic and Pastoral Theology, By Michael J. Ovey
    paperback

    The Feasts of Repentance

    From Luke-Acts to Systematic and Pastoral Theology

    New Studies in Biblical Theology

    by Michael J. Ovey
    Series edited by D. A. Carson

    In gospel proclamation today, the critical New Testament element of repentance can be far too often ignored, minimalized, or dismissed. Yet John the Baptist, Jesus himself, and those he commissioned to spread his gospel all spoke of the urgent need to repent. Michael Ovey was convinced that a gospel without repentance quickly distorts our view of God, ourselves, and each other by undermining grace ...

    Troubled Minds

    Mental Illness and the Church's Mission

    by Amy Simpson
    Foreword by Marshall Shelley

    Christianity Today Book Award Winner
    Leadership Journal Book Award

    Mental illness is the sort of thing we don't like to talk about. It doesn't reduce nicely to simple solutions and happy outcomes. So instead, too often we reduce people who are mentally ill to caricatures and ghosts, and simply pretend they don't exist. They do exist, however—statistics ...
