Sinopse

Written in a reflective and accessible style, the book weaves together scriptural references, personal anecdotes, and practical applications, making complex theological concepts attainable for readers. Murray frames humility not merely as an ethical ideal but as a transformative journey that enables believers to align more closely with Christ's character, thus elevating their spiritual lives within the wider context of the holiness movement of the late 19th century. Andrew Murray, a prominent South African pastor and author, dedicated his life to preaching and teaching on the deeper life and the importance of personal relationship with God. His theological insights were shaped by the socio-cultural fabric of his time, which emphasized revival and spiritual awakening. Murray's own struggles with pride and self-sufficiency catalyzed his exploration of humility, leading him to pen this influential work aimed at cultivating a dependence on God's grace and a loving service toward others. "Humility: The Journey Toward Holiness" is a compelling read for anyone seeking spiritual growth and transformation. Murray's eloquent prose and deep insights challenge readers to reflect on their own attitudes and practices, encouraging a sincere pursuit of humility as essential for embracing a holistic and vibrant faith.

Disarming Leviathan - Loving...

Caleb E. Campbell

Christianity Today Book Awards — Award of Merit for Politics and Public Life
ECPA Top Shelf Book Cover Award
A Mission-Field to Reach, Not an Enemy to Attack
Pastor Caleb Campbell has watched as Christian nationalism has taken over large swaths of the United States. And he's suffered the relational fallout of standing against it, both in his community and his church.
Campbell argues that while it's possible to be both a Christian and hold Christian nationalist ideas, Christian nationalism itself is an un-Christian worldview, rooted in ideas about power, race, and property that are irreconcilable with Christian faith. Campbell has come to see himself as a missionary to Christian nationalists, reaching out to them with the love and freedom found in Christ.
Disarming Leviathan aims to:

- provide a deeper understanding of the modern American Christian Nationalist movements and their relationship to American Evangelicalism.
- explore reasons why so many of our loved ones are committed to it.
- equip Jesus-followers with loving, hospitable methods for engaging American Christian Nationalists.
- provide graciously subversive methods for responding to American Christian Nationalist rhetoric, beliefs, and practices.

Christian nationalism has become an established feature of the American political landscape. With Disarming Leviathan, you can be prepared to confront it with compassion and hospitality, and with the truth of the good news of Jesus.

Lorelei Collins possesses a soft heart for any animal in need, so when she finds a buffalo calf bawling beside its lifeless mother, she can't help but bring it home to raise on the ranch she and her sisters are building in the Rocky Mountain wilderness. Little does she realize that its white coloring is rare and considered sacred by Native Americans, which makes it highly valuable to them and European trappers alike. Men soon begin to visit their ranch to regard the marvel, with some trying to woo Lorelei into marriage and others trying to steal the calf outright.  
 
When the men's advances become more sinister, Lorelei approaches Tanner Mason, the quiet and mysterious owner of the new trading post, with an idea: she and the calf will move to his post, along with her family's trusted Blackfoot friend. This will solve both their problems by bringing customers to his trade room and protecting her family from the trouble brought on by so many strangers. Yet as the danger travels with her, Lorelei and Tanner are faced with a threat greater than anything they're prepared for--one that will test the limits of their abilities and the love growing between them.
