In our self-reliant era, most of us recoil from the concept of surrendering to a power or authority outside ourselves. But surrender need not be seen as threatening, especially when the One to whom we surrender is the epitome of goodness and love.

How might our wills be changed so that we become both willing and able to do what God asks of us? In Desiring ...

The Biblical Basis for Environmental Stewardship
by Fred H. Van Dyke, David C. Mahan, Joseph K. Sheldon, and Raymond H. Brand
"Preeeeep." The sound of the peepers, tiny frogs an inch or two long, penetrated the dusk. Beneath the jack pines at the edge of a small pond in the northern Michigan woods, the males were calling their mates. A professor and a group of ecology students sat speechless as closer and closer, louder and louder, more and more peepers joined in chorus. There was just light enough to see them, crawling ...

How to Navigate the Temptations of Life
by Dan B. Allender and Tremper Longman III
We all want to know our lives matter. So did the Teacher in Ecclesiastes. He invested time and energy in every activity he could think of that might bring meaning and purpose to his life but found only disappointment, frustration, hopelessness.

Embodying God's Love from the Inside Out
by Roger Helland and Leonard Hjalmarson
Foreword by Alan HirschIf all of the earth is God's domain, why are Christians so terribly provincial? We rarely leave our church buildings, and our spirituality rarely takes us beyond ourselves. Veteran church leaders Roger Helland and Leonard Hjalmarson observe that Jesus begins his mission in the temple, where he wows the religious elite and chides his parents by saying, "Didn't you know I had to be in my Father's ...
