There is an inherent desire in all of us to know that our lives
really matter. We were created to flourish. Unfortunately, many of
the models or aspirations of flourishing from our culture are
limiting. This is because they are disconnected from God's original
design for us. We flourish most when we find our lives in the
overflow of what God is doing in this world. God is a missionary
God. Throughout the Scriptures, God again and again, invites his
people to be on mission with him. The story of Jonah in the Hebrew
scriptures is one of God's most graphic callings. It is a midcourse
correction for the children of God. It is also an invitation to all
of us to ask if we are on mission with God. After exploring the
story of Jonah, Jonah and Me will unfold a biblical
theology of mission. Beginning in Genesis and moving through
Revelation, using the larger themes of being chosen, called, and
commissioned, we will see how God has been inviting his children to
be on mission with him throughout the ages. Finally, the book will
offer suggestions on how to discover, rediscover, or simply
reenergize in your life mission.
Opposition! It is inevitable in any worthwhile pursuit. Jesus even
promised challenge in the faith journey, "In the world you will
have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world" (John
16:33). There is a bit of a reflex in us when hearing these words
from Jesus—you have overcome but what about me. It does not
always feel like I am overcoming. Davis presents the case that one
key aspect of being an overcomer for the Christ follower is the
notion of spiritual authority. Living in a world that is rooted in
power, Christ followers are challenged daily by powers that seek to
interrupt or trample their success in the journey through
Christ—the world and the kingdom of darkness. Davis believes that
while followers receive empowerment from the Holy Spirit, this
power is only fully operational as they function out of their
God-given authority. As believers, everything they need is at their
disposal. However, they must actively appropriate their authority,
both in attitude and in action. Davis provides a biblical theology
of authority and real life examples of how he and others have
embraced their spiritual authority to advance the kingdom of God.
In essence, it is a manual for overcoming spiritual opposition in
everyday life.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is one of those authors whose literary
creation is much more famous than the man himself. Those who do
know the name Arthur Conan Doyle tend to know him only as the
inventor of the world's greatest detective, Sherlock Holmes. A
smaller segment of this group goes further and remembers Doyle as
the inventor of the great detective who squandered his fame with
crackpot beliefs in faeries and the supernatural. Sadly, there is
so much more to the man who revolutionized the writing not just of
detective fiction but also of the genre of horror, the
supernatural, and even influenced history itself. This two volume
anthology's point is to put Doyle back on the pedestal he so
rightly deserves. Its aim is twofold. First, to introduce readers
to Doyle's lesser known (yet no less important) works. These works
speak for themselves in showing a master writer at his craft. The
stories are timeless, enjoyable, and hopefully will lead to new
fans embracing a great author's somewhat forgotten tales. The
second aim is to show the relevance of Doyle's works. Through a
collection of articles written by current scholars and experts,
readers can see just how revolutionary Doyle's writings remain even
today.
This book offers a timely analysis of work and labor processes and
how they are rapidly changing under globalization. The contributors
explore traditional sectors of the U.S. and world economies - from
auto to steel to agriculture - as well as work under new production
arrangements, such as third world export processing zones. Many
chapters analyze changing dynamics of gender, nationality, and
class. The contributors explain why more intensified forms of
control by the state and by capital interests are emerging under
globalization. Yet they also emphasize new possibilities for labor,
including new forms of organizing and power sharing in a rapidly
changing economy.
