paperbackLosing God
Clinging to Faith Through Doubt and Depression
by Matt Rogers
It was the perfect irony. To lose God at a missions conference. What's worse, Matt Rogers will tell you, is that it all felt like fate. Years later, even after Matt's depression subsided, the feeling of being forgotten had not left him. So he knew he had to write it down. Recounting his own experience with depression, Matt Rogers explores the question of how, in a world of suffering, we can call ...

paperbackIn the Beginning, GOD
Creation, Culture, and the Spiritual Life
by Marva J. Dawn
With the grace and insight for which she is known, Marva Dawn shows how the opening pages of the book of Genesis rivet our attention on God, calling us to worship and to praise. The repeated words, phrases, and actions themselves beckon us into a rhythm of worship which touches our very souls. By focusing on God, we become different people--not by trying to perfect a technique or follow a set of ...

paperbackThe Mission of God
Unlocking the Bible's Grand Narrative
by Christopher J. H. Wright
Most Christians would agree that the Bible provides a basis for mission. But Christopher Wright boldly maintains that there is a missional basis for the Bible! The entire Bible is generated by and all about God's mission. In order to understand the Bible, we need a missional hermeneutic, an interpretive perspective in tune with this great missional theme. We need to see how the familiar bits and ...

paperbackNo Argument for God
Going Beyond Reason in Conversations About Faith
by John Wilkinson
Religion is irrational! New atheists trumpet the claim loudly, so much so that it's become a sort of conventional wisdom. Professing your faith in God sounds increasingly like a confession of intellectual feebleness. Belief in God sounds as cute and quaint as it does pointless. John Wilkinson contends that the irrationality of faith is its greatest asset, because rationalism itself sets artificial ...

Lectio Divina and Life as Prayer
by David G. Benner
Most Christians want to experience spiritual transformation. But many are frustrated by the limited progress of our spiritual self-improvement efforts. We find our praying burdened by a sense of obligation and failure.
But prayer is not merely something we do; prayer is what God does in us. Prayer is not just communication with God—it is communion with God. As we open ourselves ...

Four Views of God's Emotions and Suffering
Spectrum Multiview Book Series
Edited by Robert J. Matz and A. Chadwick Thornhill
Does God suffer? Does God experience emotions? Does God change? How should we interpret passages of Scripture that seem to support one view or the other? And where do the incarnation and Christ's suffering on the cross fit into this?
This Spectrum Multiview volume brings together four theologians with decidedly different answers to these questions. The contributors make a ...

paperbackThe Armor of God
LifeGuide Bible Studies
by Douglas Connelly
Every day, an unseen battle is going on around us in the spiritual realm. God has provided everything we need to stand firm and resist evil, but we are called to be actively aware of both the struggle and the resources available.

paperbackThe God Who Hears
by W. Bingham Hunter
To pray is to know God. "If God really cared he would answer my prayer." "I hesitate to ask him anything." "I can't understand why he continues to ignore my deepest needs." Bingham Hunter recognizes that most believers have these thoughts from time to time. He encourages us to look at prayer from the standpoint of who God is. The true aim of prayer is intimacy with God. We pray effectively ...
