Sinossi

Grace and Social Ethics demonstrates why the doctrine of grace has significant implications for social ethics and for Christian engagement with culture. The book reframes Christian social ethics by illuminating how grace shapes human identity and community. 
 
Angela Carpenter integrates theology and social science to articulate a vision of human persons as constituted by gift rather than merit. This graced anthropology compellingly bridges theology and contemporary research on human dependence and mutuality. Carpenter insightfully applies this graced identity to pressing issues in social ethics such as criminal justice, labor practices, and gun violence. 
 
Scholars and students of theological ethics as well as pastors seeking resources for moral formation will find illuminating perspectives in this integrative work, which situates social justice imperatives within God's gracious purposes.

    King David is arguably one of the greatest kings to ever live. He was an unparalleled military leader, unifier of a nation, and exhibited spiritual leadership to name a few of his accomplishments. Although King David was a man after God's own heart he was imperfect and sinful. Throughout David's life he was blessed to encounter connections (both positive and negative) with other men that made David who he was. 
     
     
     
    God has built us for connection, and your destiny and success is intertwined with your relational life. Ten Men was written to help men define and find their God-given tribe. 
     
     
     
    Author Doug Reed walks listeners through ten special relationships that David had with other men in his life, and he'll explain how we need to fight against our weaknesses and shortcomings by helping each other. This book is a wonderful opportunity to walk alongside other men in authenticity through a bible study or small group setting to spur one another to spiritual maturity.

    CHOOSE ONE: LIFE OR DEATH? 
    According to Deut. 30:15, choosing your word is a matter of life or death. Unfortunately, every suicide, murder, abortion, or mass shooting indicates an ultimate choice of the word DEATH. Yet, God begs us to choose the word LIFE. 
    International bestselling author Kevin White (Audacious Generosity, Get to the Point) brings you his latest book, What's Your Word? - Choosing Your Path One Word at a Time. 
    What's Your Word? guides you to hear God speak His word and to identify that word over your life right now. As Kevin writes, "The word God speaks over you, the word you prophesy over yourself, determines your path.” Whoever you are, see the Bible like never before and experience God, through the Holy Spirit, as He guides you to activate the momentum found in His individual words.

    A Grand Slam for God - A Journey...

    Burke Masters had the perfect game plan for his life: he was going to become a Major League Baseball player. As a star infielder for Mississippi State with a game-winning grand slam to help his team reach the College World Series, he was well on his way to the career of his dreams. But little did he know that his life-changing call would not be from a recruiter to join the Major Leagues—it would be from God to become a priest.  
    In this page-turning memoir, Fr. Burke takes readers on an intimate personal journey—from his childhood outside of Chicago, to his success in baseball, to his conversion to Catholicism, and finally, to his acceptance of his vocation. Amid severe doubt and personal loss, he learned to embrace his fundamental identity—not as an athlete, but as a beloved son of God and a spiritual father to God’s people. Fr. Burke’s story is a powerful reminder that God’s plan for us is so much greater than our own; that it fulfills our dreams in ways greater than we could have imagined; and that if we only have the courage to say yes, every moment is an opportunity for a grand slam for God.
