In landlocked Gainesville, Florida, in the hot, fraught summer
of 1999, a college dropout named David sleepwalks through his
life--a dull haze of office work and Internet porn--until a run-in
with a lost friend jolts him from his torpor. He is drawn into the
vibrant but grimy world of Fishgut, a rundown house where a loose
collective of anarchists, burnouts, and libertines practice utopia
outside society and the law. Some even see their lifestyle as a
spiritual calling. They watch for the return of a mysterious hobo
who will--they hope--transform their punk oasis into the Bethlehem
of a zealous, strange new creed.
In his dark and mesmerizing debut novel, Justin Taylor ("a
master of the modern snapshot"--Los Angeles Times) explores the
borders between religion and politics, faith and fanaticism, desire
and need--and what happens when those borders are breached.

This volume includes three classic works by John Owen on sin,
temptation, and repentance in the Christian life. The editors have
made this difficult-to-read Puritan accessible for the modern
reader without sacrificing Owen's work.
Exploring the life of a slave trader turned hymn writer, this book

extant letters offer modern Christians valuable insights into the
Christian life.

Does it make a difference that the God Christians claim to
worship has revealed himself as triune-the Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit? Does this fundamental truth of biblical authority have an
effect on a believer's personal fellowship with God?
Puritan theologian John Owen recognized the great need for every
believer to understand the triune God. Communion with the Triune
God revisits the truth presented by John Owen and challenges all
believers to truly recognize and appreciate the ministry that God
the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit have in their
lives. This work of John Owen encourages Christians to enjoy true
communion with each person of the triune God.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer died a martyr's death at the age of 39 but
remains one of the most influential and challenging theologians of
our time. His writings teach us the value of cross-centered
theology, and his courageous actions against the Nazi regime compel
us to consider the cost of discipleship. From Bonhoeffer we learn
that the Christian life is lived both alone and together, and that
there is a stark difference between cheap and costly grace. With
insight, clarity, and wisdom, Stephen Nichols guides us through the
words and deeds of this humble yet heroic pastor, whose example
shows us that the Christian's life flows from the cross, for the
world.
Style is predominantly an individual matter--the way people put
themselves together creates a sense of individual identity--but
collectively it creates a sense of common culture in a community, a
city, or a country.
Geographically isolated from the fashion hubs of Paris and New
York, Australia may not yet be synonymous with style. But as it
moves away from the beach look that it is usually associated with
and adopts haute couture, Australia is emerging as a shining star
in the southern hemisphere.
Though not the political capital of the country, Sydney is
nevertheless Australia's cultural capital, and the style hub and
epicenter of the country's fashion evolution. "Sydney Street Style"
depicts the style of this less-explored fashion capital.
Beautifully assembled and packed with full color photos of the
stylish and eclectic residents of Sydney, this book will be a
welcome addition to the library of any fashionista or armchair
traveler.

resource.
Highlighting the practical nature of his theology and lessons from
his approach to the Christian life, this book about influential
theologian Herman Bavinck will help modern believers obey Christ
and find joy in the gospel.

The Bible has a way of shocking us. If Americans could still
blush, we might blush at the words, "Rejoice in the wife of your
youth, a lovely deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts fill you at
all times with delight; be intoxicated always in her love"
(Proverbs 5:18-19).
But, of course, sin always tries to trash God's gifts. So we
can't just celebrate sex for what God made it to be; we have to
fight what sin turned it into. The contributors to this unique
volume encourage you to do both: celebrate and struggle.
This book has something for all-men and women, married and
single-from contributors like John Piper, C. J. and Carolyn
Mahaney, Mark Dever, Al Mohler, Carolyn McCulley, and others.
B. B. Warfield is well known as one of America's leading
theologians, perhaps second only to Jonathan Edwards. But until now
the character of his own Christian experience and his understanding
of the Christian life have remained unexplored. Fred Zaspel unpacks
these for us here, and what we find is that Warfield's profound
theological mind is matched only by his passionate heart for
Christ. From Warfield we learn truly what it is to live in light of
the gospel.
John Owen is widely hailed as one of the greatest theologians of
all time. His many works--especially those encouraging Christians
in their struggle against sin--continue to speak powerfully to
readers today, offering much-needed spiritual guidance for
following Christ and resisting temptation day in and day out.
Starting with an overview of Owen's life, ministry, and historical
context, Michael Haykin and Matthew Barrett introduce readers to
the pillars of Owen's spiritual life. From exploring his
understanding of believers' fellowship with the triune God to
highlighting his teaching on justification, this study invites us
to learn about the Christian life from the greatest of the English
Puritans.
John Wesley was one of the most important figures behind the
founding of modern evangelicalism. From his crucial role in the
Great Awakening to his inspiring a renewal movement within the
Church of England, Wesley's historical significance is undeniable
and his legacy still challenges us today, regardless of our
denominational affiliation or theological perspective. Offering an
approachable introduction to Wesley's life and writings, Fred
Sanders invites us to learn from Wesley's reliance on the Spirit,
passion for holiness, and zeal for the gospel in this winsome
portrait of an extraordinary Christian leader.
