paperbackHis Face like Mine
Finding God's Love in Our Wounds
by Russell W. Joyce
Have you ever tasted true freedom?
Russell Joyce was born with a rare craniofacial disorder called Goldenhar syndrome, where the left side of his face was not formed. Years of patchwork surgeries made him more outwardly presentable, but not without deep pain and physical and emotional scars. But a life-changing encounter broke through to him with a power he never thought ...

Why Believing in God Is Reasonable and Responsible
Edited by William Lane Craig and Chad Meister
- 2011 Outreach Magazine Book Award winner
- 2010 Christianity Today Book Award winner
The days have passed when the goodness of God--indeed, the reality of God itself--could reasonably be called a consensus opinion. God's reputation has come under considerable review in recent days, with some going so far as to say that it's not we who've made a mess ...

paperbackDynamic Diversity
Bridging Class, Age, Race and Gender in the Church
by Bruce Milne
From the footpaths of our cities to the chatrooms of the Internet, people are connecting today as never before. As the planet shrinks through the multiple forces of immigration, travel, electronic communication and more fluid employment patterns, we will find ourselves increasingly forced into contact with those who are significantly different from ourselves. Sadly however, the stranger is often ...

by Jesse Covington, Bryan T. McGraw, and Micah Watson
A Natural Law Framework for Evangelicals Today

paperbackThe New Friars
The Emerging Movement Serving the World's Poor
by Scott A. Bessenecker
- Finalist, Fourth Annual Outreach Resource of the Year (2006)
Vows—exclusive promises or commitments—are almost unheard of these days. They're considered a quaint relic of times past when open options were not such highly regarded virtues. But many people in this commitment-averse culture are begging for someone to set the bar higher, to call them to higher levels ...

paperbackLiving on the Boundaries
Evangelical Women, Feminism and the Theological Academy
by Nicola Hoggard Creegan and Christine D. Pohl
"Both evangelicalism and feminism are controversial movements that provoke complex loyalties and ambivalence within the church and the world at large. In spite of a considerable degree of shared history, they are quite often defined against each other. Most of the rhetoric from and about the movements assumes that there are few connections and little overlap, and that individuals might locate themselves ...

paperbackC. S. Lewis's Case for Christ
Insights from Reason, Imagination and Faith
by Art Lindsley
There can be many obstacles to faith. As Art Lindsley says, "Lewis knew what it was like not to believe. He struggled with many doubts along the way to faith. Since he was an ardent atheist until age thirty-one, Lewis's experience and education prepared him to understand firsthand the most common arguments against Christianity." As a scholar and teacher of literature at Oxford, Lewis ...

The book of Joshua memorializes a transitional episode in Israel's national history. The heroic figure Joshua, imbued with strength, courage and faith, leads the new generation of Israel across the Jordan and into the land of promise, conquering Canaanites and overseeing the allotment of the inheritance among the tribes. But the book of Joshua is foremost a story of God, who works powerfully on ...

Reformation Commentary on Scripture
Edited by David Fink
"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
a time to be born, and a time to die..."
When the reformers of the sixteenth century turned to this well-known text from the Book of Ecclesiastes, they did not find a reason to despair, but rather confirmation of their hope and faith in God. For example, Martin Luther pointed ...

paperbackHow to Read Daniel
How To Read Series
by Tremper Longman III
Beyond the familiar lions' den and fiery furnace, much of the book of Daniel seems baffling to modern readers. The first half recounts stories full of ancient Near Eastern protocol and imperial court drama; the second half features apocalyptic visions of monstrous beasts and cosmic conflict. Many Christians misunderstand or simply avoid the book. But failing to read Daniel well ...
