Author Jeff Manion uses the biblical story of the Israelite s
journey through the Sinai desert as a metaphor for being in an
undesired time of transition. After enduring generations of slavery
in Egypt, the descendants of Jacob travel through the desert (the
land between) toward their new home in Canaan. They crave the food
of their former home in Egypt and despise their present
environment. They are unable to go back and incapable of moving
forward. Their reactions provide insight and guidance on how to
respond to God during our own seasons of difficult transition. The
Land Between provides fresh biblical insight for people traveling
through undesired and difficult transitions such as foreclosure,
unemployment, uncertainty, and failure. Such times provide our
greatest opportunity for spiritual growth. God desires to meet us
in our chaos and emotional upheaval, and he intends for us to
encounter his goodness and provision, his hope and guidance."
Christ of the Celts
"I explore the Celtic image of Christ as the Memory of what we
have forgotten. He remembers the dance of the universe and the
harmony that is deep within all things. He is the Memory also of
who we are."
--from the Prelude
"Diagnosing the human soul with a longing for peace in the face of
fear and fragmentation nurtured by global political forces and
fundamentalisms, Newell offers the ancient traditions of Celtic
Christianity as a way forward in healing humankind and the
earth."
--Publishers Weekly
"This graceful, wise, and important book is a superb introduction
to the treasures of Celtic Christianity for our time."
--Marcus Borg, author, The Heart of Christianity
The roots of African American spirituality arise from the African
origins of the enslaved who were brought to the West in chains.
Flora Wilson Bridges explores these "African retentions" from their
manifestations in Africa, through their presence in the slave
communities of the American South and in Black churches today. The
unique spirituality that arose from these retentions influenced
many prominent black leaders including Howard Thurman, Martin
Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X. In a fascinating chapter, Bridges
also shows how these African roots inform Black film, literature,
and art.

the Bible assures us we can thrive inwardly. Jesus promised his

flourish in difficult times? In Your Longing Has a Name, author
Dominic Done casts a beautiful vision of hope, revealing seven
gifts God has provided for the health of the soul. He weaves

and confusion and helps us find ways for our soul to come alive.
In this remarkable book, Henry Martin invites us to study in close
detail van Gogh's painting 'The Good Samaritan', and the famous
parable told by Jesus of Nazareth. He asks what lessons we can
learn from meditation upon the imagery and each of the characters
portrayed. Questions for discussion and reflection on each chapter
help us to relate the themes and challenges of the parable to our
lives and the world we live in today. The book is also an engaging,
personal study of van Gogh, the tragic genius of his life, and the
struggles he faced which may have informed both his process and his
spirituality. Martin has translated many of van Gogh's letters,
and, as an artist himself, brings a unique perspective to our
understanding of both the painter and the parable.

In Person of Interest, Wallace carefully sifts through the evidence from history alone, without relying on the New Testament. You'll understand like never before how Jesus, the most significant person in history, changed the world.

- Learn how to use an innovative and unique "fuse and fallout" investigative strategy that you can also use to examine other claims of history
- Explore and learn how to respond to common objections to Christianity
Detective J. Warner Wallace listened to a pastor talk about Jesus and wondered why anyone would think Jesus was a person of interest. Wallace was skeptical of the Bible, but he’d investigated several no-body homicide cases in which there was no crime scene, no physical evidence, and no victim's body. Could the historical life and actions of Jesus be investigated in the same way?
In Person of Interest, Wallace describes his own personal investigative journey from atheism to Christianity as he carefully considers the evidence. Creative, compelling, and fully illustrated, Person of Interest will strengthen the faith of believers while engaging those who are skeptical and distrusting of the New Testament.

New York Times bestselling author John Eldredge offers readers a
breathtaking look into God's promise for a new heaven and a new
earth.This revolutionary book about our future is based on the
simple idea that, according to the Bible, heaven is not our eternal
home--the New Earth is. As Jesus says in the gospel of Matthew, the
next chapter of our story begins with "the renewal of all things,"
by which he means the earth we love in all its beauty, our own
selves, and the things that make for a rich life: music, art, food,
laughter and all that we hold dear. Everything shall be renewed
"when the world is made new."More than anything else, how you
envision your future shapes your current experience. If you knew
that God was going to restore your life and everything you love any
day; if you believed a great and glorious goodness was coming to
you--not in a vague heaven but right here on this earth--you would
have a hope to see you through anything, an anchor for your soul,
"an unbreakable spiritual lifeline, reaching past all appearances
right to the very presence of God" (Hebrews 6:19).Most Christians
(most people for that matter) fail to look forward to their future
because their view of heaven is vague, religious, and frankly
boring. Hope begins when we understand that for the believer
nothing is lost. Heaven is not a life in the clouds; it is not
endless harp-strumming or worship-singing. Rather, the life we long
for, the paradise Adam and Eve knew, is precisely the life that is
coming to us. And that life is coming soon.

Finding faith in a time of sorrow Beloved author Henri Nouwen reflects on the spiritual significance of death and life in this moving meditation dedicated to "all those who suffer the pain that death can bring and who search for new life."
Based on Michael Todd's Crazy Faith comes the official workbook to
discovering a complete trust in God and stepping out in
life-changing faith. Faith is a word that's common in both our
culture and the church. It's a word you've probably used many
times. But what does it actually mean? How can you know if your
life is being guided by faith or by fear? And how can you learn the
kind of trust in God that seems...well, crazy? Crazy is a relative
term, after all. There are many things that seem normal today that
at one point in time sounded crazy. But our see-it-to-believe-it
generation tends to have a hard time exercising true faith-one that
steps out, takes action, and sees mountain-moving results. Many of
us would rather play it safe and stand on the sidelines. But it's
crazy faith that helps us see God move and reveals his promises.
Noah looked crazy when he started building the ark . . . until it
started raining. In the Crazy Faith Workbook, bestselling author
and pastor Michael Todd takes you deeper into how to step out in
faith and dive into the purposeful life of trusting God for the
impossible. Each of the eleven lessons in this workbook unpacks a
potential stage in the faith journey-from baby faith to crazy
faith-to help you: Identify where you are in your personal faith
journey. Learn how to see God's reality and be alert to his voice.
Develop a deeper level of trust in God. And inspire crazy faith in
others. Packed with Scripture reading, prayers, empowering stories,
reflection questions, and plenty of room for you to write your
responses-this workbook will help you see the beauty of faith and
that it's never too late to build it. Even if we have to start with
baby faith or maybe faith, we can become empowered to let go of our
lazy faith, trust God through our hazy faith, and learn to live a
lifestyle of crazy faith.
