CHRIST FOR UNITARIAN UNIVERSALISTS is an engaging and thoughtful inquiry into Christianity for Unitarian Universalists and other spiritual seekers - including sceptics, non-religious people, liberal Christians and those who consider themselves "spiritual but not religious." The book has several purposes. The first is to present Christ in an understandable and compelling way to the increasing number of people who do not consider themselves Christian. The second is to present liberal and progressive Christians with the non-dogmatic way that Unitarian Universalists have viewed Christ through the Bible and personal experience. And the third is to promote active dialogue between non-Christians and the nearly 80% of Americans who identify themselves as Christian. CHRIST FOR UNITARIAN UNIVERSALISTS addresses frank questions with integrity and intellectual honesty, yet, also, presents a sincere and genuine sense of love as embodied in Jesus that is so heartfelt, so unconditional and so revolutionary that it will take your breath away.

In a time when the Pauline dictum decreed that women be silent in
matters of the Church, Johanna Eleonora Petersen (1644-1724) was a
pioneering author of religious books, insisting on her right to
speak out as a believer above her male counterparts. Publishing her
readings of the Gospels and the Book of Revelation as well as her
thoughts on theology in general, Petersen and her writings created
controversy, especially in orthodox circles, and she became a voice
for the radical Pietists--those most at odds with Lutheran
ministers and their teachings. But she defended her lay religious
calling and ultimately printed fourteen original works, including
her autobiography, the first of its kind written by a woman in
Germany--all in an age in which most women were unable to read or
write.
What is hope? What is Zion? And what does it mean to hope for Zion? In this insightful book, Joseph Spencer explores these questions through the scriptures of two continents separated by nearly two millennia. In the first half, Spencer engages in a rich study of Paul's letter to the Roman to better understand how the apostle understood hope and what it means to have it. In the second half of the book, Spencer jumps to the early years of the Restoration and the various revelations on consecration to understand how Latter-day Saints are expected to strive for Zion. Between these halves is an interlude examining the hoped-for Zion that both thrived in the Book of Mormon and was hoped to be established again. Praise for "For Zion": ""For Zion: A Mormon Theology of Hope" is more than a theological reflection. It also consists of able textual exegesis, historical contextualization, and philosophic exploration. Spencer's careful readings of Paul's focus on hope in Romans and on Joseph Smith's development of consecration in his early revelations, linking them as he does with the Book of Mormon, have provided an intriguing, intertextual avenue for understanding what true stewardship should be for us-now and in the future. As such he has set a new benchmark for solid, innovative Latter-day Saint scholarship that is at once provocative and challenging." - Eric D. Huntsman, author, "The Miracles of Jesus" "With "For Zion," Joseph Spencer develops the Mormon tradition of Zion, writing in the style of Hugh Nibley-mixing Old Testament and New Testament studies with commentary on the Book of Mormon, the Joseph Smith revelations, and early Mormon history. The main area of development is the addition of theology, Spencer's expertise. Mormon readers much prefer scriptural commentary and history to theology, but Spencer weaves in his theological arguments and reflections in a readable and accessible manner. He also tracks the textual development of Joseph Smith's consecration revelation with great care and provides historically informed readings. And the whole work is aimed at the redemption of Zion. "For Zio"n proves that there can be such a thing as genuinely Mormon theology." - Mark Ashurst-McGee, Joseph Smith Papers "The hour is late. Our eyes are heavy. Working without rest, possessed by our possessions, and consumed by fantasies of acquisition and success we know full well, even were they to be realized, offer no relief from what's eating us, we stumble. 'Wake up ' Spencer calls. 'Have hope The kingdom of God is among us, Zion is real, the Sabbath is here, and the law of consecration remains, as it must, in full force '" - Adam S. Miller, author, "Rube Goldberg Machines: Essays in Mormon Theology" "Joseph Spencer is one of the most astute readers of sacred texts working in Mormon Studies. Blending theological savvy, historical grounding, and sensitive readings of scripture, he has produced an original and compelling case for consecration and the life of discipleship." - Terryl Givens, author, "Wrestling the Angel: The Foundations of Mormon Thought"
The Church as we know it is changing. The church is not a brick and mortar building. The church is not choirs, ushers or dynamic preachers. The church is not programs, events, or fundraisers for noble causes. The church is more than just a weekly get together in a house or dedicated building. The church is life with purpose. It is life lived among the saints who see themselves as family. It is life among believers who understand they are one body, and that each member is significant to the purposes of God in the earth. This is the church demonstrated in the New Testament. No Longer Church As Usual Second Edition is a clear compelling road map that will position the church to fulfill the original plan of God by restoring the historical values and structure of the first century into the 21st century. You will learn how believers all over the world are being released to be fruitful, to multiply, to fill the earth and subdue it, as they go into the world making disciples of all nations

Books about Mennonites have centered primarily on the East Coast and the Midwest, where the majority of Mennonite communities in the United States are located. But these narratives neglect the unique history of the multitude of Mennonites living on the West Coast. In "California Mennonites," Brian Froese relies on archival church records to examine the Mennonite experience in the Golden State, from the nineteenth-century migrants who came in search of sunshine and fertile soil to the traditionally agrarian community that struggled with issues of urbanization, race, gender, education, and labor in the twentieth century to the evangelically oriented, partially assimilated Mennonites of today. Froese places Mennonite experiences against a backdrop of major historical events, including World War II and Vietnam, and social issues, from labor disputes to the evolution of mental health care. California Mennonites include people who embrace a range of ideologies: many are historically rooted in the sixteenth-century Reformation ideals of the early Anabaptists (pacifism, congregationalism, discipleship); some embrace twentieth-century American evangelicalism (missions, Billy Graham); and others are committed to a type of social justice that involves forging practical ties to secular government programs while maintaining a quiet connection to religion. Through their experiences of religious diversity, changing demographics, and war, California Mennonites have wrestled with complicated questions of what it means to be American, Mennonite, and modern. This book--the first of its kind--will appeal to historians and religious studies scholars alike.

"A Different Gospel," a book for the heart and the mind, is must reading for those who seek reliable information about the "Word of Faith" movement. Every Christian should read this book in order to be aware of the dangerous implications of the widespread and cultic "Word of Faith" movement preaching what is popularly known as ""Name It and Claim It"" theology. "A Different Gospel" is a bold and revealing examination of the biblical and historical basis of this movement. This new and revised edition is complete with a foreword by Hank Hanegraaff, author of "Christianity in Crisis," and a new afterward by D. R. McConnell. The author knows the movement first hand and has a heart for those snared by it. He is also an academically trained observer who has based his work on careful historical and biblical analysis. McConnell warns of the movement's cultic nature in its doctrine of healing and its understanding of the atonement and demonstrates how far the movement's doctrine of prosperity is from Scripture's true teaching.
Constellations: No one disputes their celestial glory -dazzling, dramatic, and perhaps somehow meaningful. But how? What is it about the 12 major constellations in our night sky that has captivated almost everyone throughout history from ancient stargazers searching the skies with naked eyes to modern astronomers scanning the stars through incredibly powerful telescopes. There are those who claim the stars give each of us personal information based on the date of our birth. But we know better, or course. Are the positioning of the stars entirely random? If so, why do they tell such a powerful story? Is anything in God's universe truly random? Is He not a God of order, with an immense desire to teach us and reach us through every possible aspect of His creation? Study the heavens with a biblical perspective and learn the real message God has written in the stars.
"Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak
with tongues. "
