Hannah Dunnett's beautiful artwork, interweaving Bible verses and
images, has inspired many people. From sailing boats bobbing on the
river and lighthouses standing tall, to majestic trees and soaring
mountains, to welcoming cottages and cosy kitchens, Hannah paints
pictures that help us understand scripture and reflect on God's
word in a fresh way. In this book, Hannah has chosen twenty-four of
her favourite pictures and tells the story behind each one. As she
draws out key verses and their meaning and offers questions to
reflect on, readers will gain new insight and understanding. This
collection of beloved artwork is divided into four sections: The
Wondrous Cross, Father God, Teach me Your Ways, and Let Your Light
Shine, and will take individual readers, or small groups, on a
journey further towards the heart of God.
Reclaiming an Evangelical History of Activism In recent years,
there has been renewed interest by evangelicals in the topic of
biblical social justice. Younger evangelicals and millennials, in
particular, have shown increased concern for social issues. But
this is not a recent development. Following World War II, a new
movement of American evangelicals emerged who gradually increased
their efforts on behalf of justice. This work explains the
important historical context for evangelical reengagement with
social justice issues. The authors provide an overview of
post-World War II evangelical social justice and compassion
ministries, introducing key figures and seminal organizations that
propelled the rediscovery of biblical justice. They explore
historical and theological lessons learned and offer a way forward
for contemporary Christians.
