Thought-provoking and understandable, Scott M. Lewis, S.J., breaks
the Gospel of John down into manageable sections with commentary
vital to new and returning readers. Using themes from John's
prologue to provide a focus, Lewis encourages his readers to
question and ponder, rather than gloss over, this deceptively
simple text. The Gospel According to John and the Johannine Letters
offers a brief commentary, incorporating recent scholarship, with a
general approach. Ideally suited for Bible study groups as well as
individual reflection, it is accessible to a broad range of people.
The original guide to "practicing the presence of God" "We must not
grow weary of doing little things for the love of God, who looks
not on the great size of the work, but on the love of it." In this
classic work, which has instructed and inspired millions, a humble
17th-century monk reveals the secrets of daily, moment-by-moment
fellowship with God. "In the way of God, thoughts count very
little," writes Brother Lawrence, who spent much of his monastic
life in the kitchen. "Love does it all." Full of realistic honesty,
friendliness, and simplicity, Brother Lawrence shows that it is
possible to meet God amongst the pots and pans-in the ordinary,
daily events of life. This edition, rendered from the original
French into graceful, contemporary English, will nourish and
delight all those who seek to practice the presence of God.

ever-faithful and beyond worthy of our trust. Our new Hills &
Valleys NIV Flexcover Bible evokes the beauty and growth that comes

Pringle's autobiography offers a graphic and often painful account
of his experiences with major marathons, including the Marathon des
Sables and the Yukon Arctic Ultra. Journalists and scientists
monitor his progress as he pushes his body to the very limits, as
he competes in extreme sporting events which have already claimed
lives. A growing sense of self-knowledge and a sense of unity with
the natural world lead him to overcome his inner demons, and to
find a distinctive and transformational spiritual path.
Following on from his first book, 'Internal Revolution', 'A
Champion's Resolve' offers grace and inspiration to not only be
victorious, but to help others in their own walk with God. It's a
very transparent account of a modern man's pursuit and passion to
live a pure life, set apart for God. Containing personal testimony
backed up by solid Bible teaching it serves to ensure the reader
never gives up their own struggle. With the courage of a cage
fighter Rob Joy attacks the spiritual forces that have the
potential to rob the Christian of their effectiveness and
faithfulness.
In this book, Dr. Werner Keller has brought the Bible alive for
countless readers by telling the exciting story of how
archaeologists have adventured 4000 years into the past to document
events and to illuminate the backgrounds of the Scriptures. With
this entirely fresh, lavishly illustrated new volume, the same
distinguished author makes the world of the Bible visible as well
as intelligible. He has selected a wide range of
photographs-scenery, monuments, sculptures, wall paintings,
excavations and the rest- to illustrate the Bible story. In his
text he links the pictures to the words of the Scriptures and adds
explanatory notes in such a way as to provide a unique companion to
the Bible which will appeal to every reader.

expressed in the graciousness of the Covenant relationship between
God and Israel.

catastrophe of Nominalism.

centuries. It is a summary of Christian faith in language and
prayers inspired by the Bible. This pamphlet gives the background,
meaning, and technique of this prayer.
Arianism is the archetypal Christian heresy. It was not only a
watershed historically; its central issue-the question of Christ's
full co-equal divinity as Son of God-remains an issue of deep
concern to every generation of Christians, including our own. The
traditional critique of Arianism is that its errors arise from an
over-intellectual approach to Christianity, that it failed because
it lacked a gospel of salvation. Questions about that traditional
view have been raised here and there in recent years. This book
challenges it head on. It does no on a basis of careful
scholarship, and at the same time in a lively and readable style.'
Maurice Wiles, Regius Professor of Divinity in the University of
Oxford 'Gregg and Groh have enabled us to see the thought of Arius
on the nature of Christ as condensing nothing less than a
distinctive view of man, congruent to a precise social and
religious milieu. As a result, the clash of disembodied dogmas
becomes suffused with the quality of a late Roman Christian's most
urgent concerns: "love and betrayal, grace and backsliding". Now
presented with liberating precision in all its implications-from
conflicting attitudes to change and stability in society and the
universe, to vivid glimpses of the bustling world of Greek cities
contrasted with the unearthly stillness of St Anthony in the
desert-a well-worn chapter of Christian dogma emerges as a high
moment in the birth of a new civilization in the Roman world. This
is a model book, that any scholar of Christian doctrine would
dearly wish to have written; and that every scholar of the early
Christian world must read.' Peter Brown, Professor of History and
Classics in the University of California at Berkeley 'Gregg and
Groh propose a novel approach to the most profound crisis of the
dogmatic tradition in the ancient church. They extract from the
denunciation of the errors of Arius ... a striking view of the
ancient doctrine of salvation. The principle aspects of this
doctrine remain too often neglected by the critics. But with Gregg
and Groh the saviour God of Arius is brought back to life,
reactivated ... The authors display in convincing fashion the
original accents of this doctrine, at the heart of the Christian
community, before it had become nothing but a heresy charged
doctrine... They promote a healthy reflection on the more fixed
forms of antiArian dogmatism, passively transmitted over the
centuries.' Charles Kannengiesser, Professeur a Onstitut Catholique
de Paris
Oppaymolleah's curse. General Braddock's buried gold. The Original
Man of Steel, Joe Magarac. Such legends have found a home among the
rich folklore of Western Pennsylvania. Thomas White spins a
beguiling yarn with tales that reach from the misty hollows of the
Alleghenies to the lost islands of Pittsburgh. White invites
readers to learn the truth behind the urban legend of the Green
Man, speculate on the conspiracy surrounding the lost B-25 bomber
of Monongahela and shiver over the ghostly lore of Western
Pennsylvania.
"Collected writings on the Trinity, Christ, and the Holy Spirit"
In this collection of writings from one of the most well-known
theologians of the modern era, Packer strongly defends Trinitarian
theology and the uniqueness of Jesus Christ against contemporary
challenges. In so doing, he deals with theological issues such as
atonement, justification and universalism. He calls for believers
to be serious about the Holy Spirit, and his articles on this topic
are valuable examples of how to apply theological beliefs to
controversial issues within the church.
The articles range from short devotional pieces published in
church-sponsored journals, to opinion articles for popular journals
like Christianity Today, to major articles for scholarly journals.
