Hardback. Condición: Good. A stocking-stuffer sized holiday novel from the bestselling Quaker novelist, offering fresh insight into the true meaning of Christmas Philip Gulley takes us back to Harmony, Indiana, at Christmastime as inspiration strikes the inimitable Dale Hinshaw. Undaunted by the failure of his Scripture Eggs ministry and always looking for a way to increase the church's profit margins, Hinshaw brainstorms a progressive nativity scene that will involve the whole town, complete with a map like those for the Hollywood stars. Neither Pastor Sam Gardner nor the other members of the Harmony Friends meeting express any enthusiasm for this idea, but Dale is unstoppable. Amidst the bustle of the season, the citizens of Harmony experience the simple joys and sometime loneliness that often go unseen.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. There are roughly 39,000 Christian denominations, each with a slightly different take on the priorities of Jesus but all--whether liberal or conservative--believe they most faithfully follow Jesus. The idea that religious liberty is under siege has changed the dynamics of Christianity. Politics and religion are no longer separate, and the intersection has created controversial views of Christians and the church. Quaker minister Philip Gulley, author of If Grace Is True and If God Is Love, addresses the ultimate question in If the Church Were Christian--does the church truly reflect the priorities of Jesus. Gulley questions the assumptions Christians often make: ·       We cannot assume that the gospel versions of Jesus's story are historically accurate since they were written 30 to 60 years after the death of Jesus ·       We cannot assume there is universal agreement on the meaning of Jesus's story ·       We cannot assume that everyone has the same understanding of what "doing our Christian duty" actually means--even if we believe we should be virtuous and good If the Church were Christian reminds us that whatever the word Christianity might have meant at one time it doesn't necessarily mean that anymore. Gulley discusses if the church were Christian: ·       It would care more about love and less about sex ·       Jesus would be a model for living rather than an object of worship ·       Meeting needs would be more important than maintaining institutions ·       Affirming our potential would be more important than condemning our brokenness ·       This life would be more important than the afterlife This book is for anyone who wants to build bridges instead of boundaries, and seeks to experience God's love.…
