Summary

In "Holy in Christ," Andrew Murray explores the profound theme of holiness, articulating a vision of spiritual life that transcends mere moral behavior. Written in a devotional style infused with scriptural references, the book invites readers into an intimate relationship with Christ as the source of their holiness. Murray's writing is characterized by a rhythmic cadence that mirrors the contemplative nature of his subject, blending theological insights with practical guidance, making it accessible yet deeply reflective. Set against the backdrop of the 19th-century revivalist movement, the book emerges during a time when the pursuit of personal piety and holiness was gaining momentum in Christian thought. Andrew Murray, a South African pastor and theologian, was deeply influenced by his own spiritual journey and the broader revivalist context of his time. Educated in the Netherlands, he returned to his homeland determined to foster a deeper understanding of the Christian faith. His experiences led him to emphasize the importance of total reliance on Christ for spiritual growth, which is poignantly echoed in "Holy in Christ," showcasing his commitment to nurturing a vibrant, holiness-centered faith. This book is highly recommended for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of spiritual holiness and cultivate a closer walk with Christ. Murray's profound insights and practical applications will resonate with both new believers and seasoned Christians alike, providing timeless wisdom for those earnestly pursuing a holy life.

He is hoping to gain back what the false God stole from him after sentencing him to an eternity as an outcast.

Legionaries, once Lucifer’s lackey, has learned from his alter ego Legion, about free will and how to twist the thoughts of humans to attain what he desires most. To test this theory Legionaries has chosen the town of Broken Falls; not only because of the town’s small size, but also the secret tucked away at the base of the mountains.

Riley and Maggie are determined to rescue the guardian angel Jonathan from the clutches of the Devil, but face their own challenges along the way. The biggest being an escaped Hell hound. Only time will tell whether the hound is a friend or foe.

Will Riley and Maggie make it to Jonathan, before Lucifer breaks him? How much turmoil will Legionaries release on the small town of Broken Falls? All will be revealed in the third installment of The Riley Series.

    In Shelley Shepard Gray’s fourth book in her Charmed Amish Life series, an unlikely Amish romance reveals that Christmas is a time for family, miracles—and love.   
Ever since his father died in a tragic fire, Levi Kinsinger has felt adrift. Newly returned to Charm, Ohio, Levi is trying to fit into his old life, only to discover he seems to have outgrown it. 
But when Julia, his young widowed neighbor, asks for his help with a Christmas project, Levi finds a sense of purpose for the first time in months. She and her daughter are new to Charm and could use a friend, a job Levi takes personally. Soon enough, friendship grows into attraction, but Levi can’t help having doubts. There’s something about Julia that doesn’t ring quite true… 
 
Like Levi, Julia Kemps has survived her fair share of hardships—but only by hiding the truth of her past. Being an unmarried mother in an Amish community was unthinkable. Feeling hopeless, Julia did the only thing she could do: she moved to a new town and pretended to be a widow. But meeting Levi, she’s hopeful for the first time. Little by little, she begins to imagine telling him her darkest secret, and eventually…perhaps even sharing her life with him.  
Christmas is a time for family, and as the holiday draws closer, Julia and Levi will have to face their pasts together…in order to find the healing, support and love they so desperately desire.

Prepare to have your faith challenged, your heart opened, and your hope for humanity’s ultimate destiny completely renewed. 
--Jonathan invites us to imagine a God whose love is so compelling and relentless that, in the end, we are wooed—not threatened—into surrender. —Loren Richmond Jr., Chaplain and Ministry Consultant, host of the Future Christian Podcast 
--Jonathan Foster unpacks the “why” behind shifting views on hell with a compassionate mix of honesty, depth and solid research. This will help so many people who are wrestling with big questions in a way that is both evidence-based and relatable. —Leslie Nease, author of Honoring the Journey: The Deconstruction of Sister Christian and Host of Honoring the Journey Podcast 
--This is not simply another boring “hot take” on hell. Instead, Foster offers a deep, honest, and human analysis of how Love screws with our tired conceptions of who’s in and who’s out. Love, it turns out, is more difficult than fear, retribution, and wrath. Are you up for the challenge? If so, let Foster be your guide! —Josh Patterson, host of (Re)thinking Faith Podcast

    Christianity Today 2024 Award of Merit (Missions/Global Church) 
 
Christian theologians and students are aware that evangelicals in the Majority World now outnumber those in North America and Europe, and many want to know more about emerging voices in the global church. At the same time, these voices are largely absent from Western evangelical theology. 
 
Stephen Pardue seeks to bridge this divide by arguing, biblically and theologically, that it is imperative for Western evangelical theology to engage with the global church, and he provides examples of how this can be done. Case studies throughout the book illustrate opportunities for fruitful engagement with non-Western theology in various areas of Christian doctrine. 
 
Readers will be given an introduction to the riches available within the worldwide body of Christ and learn how to engage productively with the global church.
