Paperback. Condición: Good. Contemporary life is filled with a host of contentious moral and social issues. There are many thorny topics, both personal and political, which bring out a cacophony of opinions that can overwhelm us. While we are inundated with questions, there often seem to be no clear answers. So how should we respond? As Christians, we must constantly ask ourselves, What does the Lord require of me? In this outstanding collection of meditations, James Killen examines many of today's hot-button issues with an eye toward helping readers think through their beliefs and responsibilities. Mindful of our call to live in faithfulness to God's purpose, each essay draws on the Bible and the Christian faith to discern how God would have us respond to the emerging situations of our world's history. What Does The Lord Require? is topical, inspiring reading -- and with thoughtful discussion questions at the end of each meditation, it's an excellent resource for adult classes or study groups, as well as for a sermon series that is sure to connect with congregations. Among the issues addressed are: * religious pluralism * economic justice * materialism * environmental stewardship * gender roles * suicide * abortion * personal integrity * homosexuality * AIDS * race relations * war The timid pulpit is too often the platform of pastors who choose not to unsettle their parishioners. As a result, words that address the critical social and moral issues of our day go unspoken. The messages of this book inspire the reader to new heights of courage as these difficult issues are presented with clear, forthright challenges. You will be informed and motivated as the cost of discipleship awakens your Christian journey in the 21st century. Joe A. Wilson United Methodist bishop James Killen does a remarkable job of reminding us that being a Christian is more than individual religiosity. Rather, it encompasses every facet of our existence, personal and corporate. These meditations explore issues that Christians cannot afford to ignore. A must read Brig. Gen.

Paperback. Condición: Good. A Moment in Time will encourage believers to entertain principles of grace-based theology and, after careful consideration, embrace them. When we're convinced of the gracious simplicity in acquiring the free gift of eternal life, it impacts how we share our faith. When we're confident this free gift can't be lost, it calms us down. When we're certain Christ will repay and recompense us for what we do with this free gift, we're motivated to be holy as He is holy. In looking at the biblical text, Christians will be reminded that justification is provided at no cost to them. They'll see there's room for failure in the Christian life. But they'll also learn where there's great grace, there's great accountability-and great reward. It is wonderful to see this fresh look at many of the grace issues at a popular level. Mark Spencer has given us an insightful look into the implications of grace in the task of evangelism and discipleship. Recommended reading -Dr. Joseph Dillow Mark Spencer has the wonderful ability to communicate deep biblical truths in an interesting and straightforward way. The reader will find a clear articulation of the grace message and convincing arguments against those who have corrupted it. I am glad to see this comprehensive and persuasive presentation of the gospel of grace and its implications. It will serve us well as we seek to share this message with the world. -Dr. Charlie Bing This is a book that needs to be taken seriously as a helpful guide to developing a strategic plan to be servants of Christ in our areas of influence. As Mark said, his last 25 years as a police officer went by overnight - so how fast will the years fly by in our lives? We all have a mission and an obligation to be useful to the Master. -Dr. John South.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. A Gospel for Liberals explores the life and teachings of Jesus in context with the social, political, and economic circumstances of his day, leaving us with a convincing portrayal of him as a progressive activist who was eventually executed for this very reason. It's a refreshing and brazen exegesis of the liberating truths of the historical Jesus, yet presents him as nothing more than an ordinary human being whose profound teachings still hold practical meaning for us today. A Gospel for Liberals culminates with an enlightening new Gospel account that for the first time ever enables the modern reader to experience how the story would have impacted those who first heard it 2000 years ago, yet makes this timeless prophet a continuing inspiration for today's social reformers. A Gospel for Liberals finally says what progressives have known all along-Jesus was one of us.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. What is your connection to the woods?For me, it's mud-caked wellington boots after long walks through the English countryside, the earth damp and wormy and stamped with leaves, littered with plump chestnuts. It's hushed journeys into Floridian woods, heart racing at the thought of alligator eyes watching from still, green water, everything painted with the dusty finish of sunlight filtered through Spanish moss. It's the thick mist and springy moss of the Pacific Northwest, and towering cedars and firs stained black with lightning, and the whisper of crow wings above. And, of course, it's the Brothers Grimm and Fantastic Mr. Fox, Mirkwood and Broc liande.There's a reason storytelling has long found inspiration in the woods, whether as symbol or as setting. The forest can be a place of profound beauty or terror, a place of sustenance or danger, a place to find solitude or to become hopelessly lost, a place of magic and dark corners where the imagination can run wild.It's the stories that arise from this convergence of the deeply personal and the universal that Bracken seeks to harvest. From the beginning, we've collected pieces that not only capture the magic and beauty of nature, but also explore encounters with those hidden spaces inside and outside us, those unknowable things that wink at us and shapeshift in the dark--encounters with both pain and wonderment and the journey between. In putting this anthology together, we've wanted to take you on such a journey. We've selected and arranged work from past issues in a way that we think truly embodies Bracken's spirit. Just as the girl on our cover is emerging from the tangle of branches into the light, we want to let these pieces guide you from the forest's edge, through its depths, and out the other side. We hope you'll find something along the way.Charlotte d'Huart Anthology Editor.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Thank you very much for inviting me to read this book. I found it to be a real spiritual journey-a refresher to a relationship I have enjoyed with our Lord for sixty years and a treasure trove of new insights and clarifications that serve to strengthen my faith in God.-Jack Conlin, CPA, CGMA, retired, director of corporate finance, the Salvation Army, US Southern TerritoryGod Wants a Deeper Relationship with You This book digs deeper into exploring many of the challenges we face in establishing and maintaining a meaningful relationship with God. Unfortunately, there are many differing viewpoints out there in the Christian community about this which is creating much confusion.We hear messages saying God is in control of every single thing. We hear we must listen for the voice of God. We hear God has a plan for our lives. We hear we are to get out of the way and let God handle our problems. We hear various ideas of how the Holy Spirit works. We hear God's providence will protect us from harm. Many people are being drawn to Christian teachings which speak of a mighty God who wants to regularly do big, audacious, and miraculous things in people's lives. Although this sounds enticing, how does God really interact with us and our world? To dig deeper, we must question more. Therefore, topics are addressed with probing questions and insightful analysis.So we ask, How important is it for us to find the truth about God? If faith is built on false premises, how good can that faith be?Many topics are addressed, and each chapter is full of interesting details.This book is also a great resource for Bible classes and sermon material.…
