Longing. Hope. Love. Fear. These are just some of the experiences
embodied in the infinitely rich Christian life. In Under the Wings
of God, seasoned author Cornelius Plantinga explores these facets
and more, reflecting on the joys and challenges of a life following
God. Rooted in Scripture, this book offers wisdom about topics
including the problem of suffering, the nature of Christian virtue,
love of God and our neighbor, longing for redemption and
reconciliation, humility, and hospitality. Plantinga delves into
hard questions with a calm and pastoral authority that offers the
perfect antidote for the unrest in the world and the church right
now. Each reflection is presented with a Bible text and a brief
prayer, useful for personal devotions or small group discussions.
Readers will emerge with a deeper understanding of and appreciation
for the Christian life, equipped with timeless insights into the
ups and downs of a life lived in the presence of God.
Although Turkey is a secular state, it is often characterised as a
Muslim country. In her latest book, Lejla Voloder provides an
engaging and revealing study of a Bosniak community in Turkey, one
of the Muslim minorities actually recognised by the state in
Turkey. Under what circumstances have they resettled to Turkey? How
do they embrace Islam? How does one live as a Bosniak, a Turkish
citizen, a mother, a father, a member of a household, and as one
guided by Islam? The first book based on fieldwork to detail the
lives of members of the Bosnian and Bosniak diaspora in Turkey, A
Muslim Minority in Turkey makes a unique contribution to the study
of Muslim minority groups in Turkey and the Middle East.
