how she feels about herself, significance is obtainable--now.

Is agreeing to disagree good enough for God's family? Christians
don't necessarily agree with each other when it comes to questions
of religious pluralism, homosexuality, the role of government,
abortion, and war. Too often, we manage these disagreements by
ignoring them. Yet we are called to engage the world for the sake
of Christ. How can we be effective if we avoid society's most
pressing questions? In 10 Issues That Divide Christians, Alex
McFarland challenges Christ-followers to drill down to the biblical
core of ten current issues--such as social justice, evil and
suffering, pornography, and environmentalism, among others--and
echoes the biblical invitation: "Come let us reason together." Only
by engaging the Scriptures deeply, thinking clearly, and speaking
truthfully can we in God's family address our differences and
discover the peace that comes with unity of purpose. With the Bible
as our guidebook and the Spirit as our guide, we can respond to
today's urgent questions with the mind of Christ.

Education without ethics, without sentiments, without heart, is
simply soulless, factual academics and nothing more. In his array
of authentic essays, Ronald J. Pelias poetically evokes the
spiritual aspects of life in a seemingly dispassionate field--the
academy. A Methodology of the Heart presents a procession of
situational compositions confronting matters such as family
relationships, student/teacher communications, and general life at
the university. In his comical yet candid book, Pelias depicts the
emotional battle for understanding and honesty within the
conventional boundaries of higher education. It introduces such
subjects as autoethnography, autobiography, personal narratives,
memoir, creative non-fiction, and performative writing. It is
absolutely a crucial addition to all book collectors with
autoethnographic or communication interests as well as to the
general reader attracted to daily life and higher education.
