Sinopsis

"I love the way Hunt weaves history throughout to bring readers into ancient times. The book is rich in detail, and the characters are fully rendered."--FRANCINE RIVERS, bestselling author of Redeeming Love on The Woman from Lydia 
 
In Nero's Rome, Calandra helps her father, a renowned sculptor, complete the most significant commission of his illustrious career. But then a catastrophic fire nearly destroys the imperial city, leaving Calandra reliant on a group of Christians--unusual individuals unlike any she has encountered before. Intrigued by their worship of the Son of an invisible God, Calandra grapples with her mistrust, only to find herself indebted to these believers as they help her rebuild her shattered world.  
 
When Emperor Nero begins constructing his opulent Golden House, the people of Rome grow resentful, suspecting him of starting the fire in order to clear the land for his immense palace. Needing a scapegoat, Nero points at those who follow the Jewish Messiah, forcing Calandra to make an impossible choice between right and wrong, friends and family, love and death.

    Voices of Lament - Reflections...

    Our culture wants you to be happy. It rewards those who smile through the pain, who pretend everything's fine, who compartmentalize grief and get on with life. But everything's not fine. And God does not expect us to pretend it is. He wants all of us—including our pain. 
     
     
     
    Perhaps nowhere in Scripture do we get as full a picture of the heights and depths of the human experience as in the Psalms. The outpourings of emotion never shy away from the darkest moments of life, and yet they also point toward the light—toward the God in whom we place our hope. 
     
     
     
    Inspired by Psalm 37, Voices of Lament is a powerful collection of reflections from Christian Women of Color on themes of injustice, heartache, and deep suffering. Their essays, prayers, poems, and liturgies lay bare the experiences of the oppressed even as they draw us into deeper intimacy with God and a more fulsome understanding of each other. 
     
     
     
    For anyone who longs to better express and understand the beauty of lament held in holy tension with hope and love, this extraordinary collection presents both well-known and new voices from various ethnic and people groups and different generations, putting God's faithfulness on full and glorious display.

  • Confronting Sacred Inequalities - Creating Christian Organizations Where Women Thrive - cover

    Confronting Sacred Inequalities...

    Why do women often struggle to thrive in Christian workplaces? 
     
    Prominent male Christian leaders are often called to account for improper behavior with women in their organizations. There are certainly a few bad actors, but is something systemically amiss in Christian organizations? 
     
    In Confronting Sacred Inequalities, Leanne Dzubinski shows how secular inequalities have been imported into Christian spaces and treated as sacred. Beliefs about women that don't align with Scripture and God's view of women have too often been promoted as biblical. She identifies five pitfalls that often occur in Christian organizations that make it difficult for women to flourish: 
     
    ● "Sex and the office": An undue focus on sexuality 
    ● "Hey, guys!": Language that marginalizes women 
    ● "I can't; I have to work": Assumptions about work culture that leave women feeling like they constantly fall short 
    ● "Are you sure that's right?": Ambivalence toward women 
    ● "There are no good women leaders": Cultural and Christian stereotypes that frame leadership as male 
     
    Dzubinski explains how organizational dysfunction is often caused by systems that prioritize men over women in ways that are detrimental to the organization as well as to the people in them--men and women alike. Each chapter offers scriptural perspectives and practical suggestions to help leaders create organizational cultures where everyone can flourish and work together as siblings in Christ.

    In "At Your Command" (1939), Neville Goddard unveils the transformative power of consciousness, asserting that your awareness of being—“I AM”—is God, the creator of your reality. By feeling and decreeing your desires in consciousness, you manifest them into existence, as Neville reinterprets the Bible as a psychological guide to self-realization. Shift your focus, claim your desires, and watch your world change—from poverty to abundance, sickness to health. This audiobook, narrated by an A.I. voice clone of Curt Eric Clendenin, host of Inspirado Projecto podcast, invites you to awaken the divine within and command your destiny.

    Become More Effective by Embracing Your Inability 
    Many of us are tired, stressed, and overworked. We think that following God will bring peace, but instead find ourselves anxious. We expect a life of joy, but end up feeling stressed, living under the heavy load of new expectations. It's a spiritual and emotional rollercoaster. 
    We search for solutions using optimization techniques, attempting to fit more and more into our already full days. We try to craft efficiently maximized lives, but these methods always fail, not because they are ill-intentioned, but because they do not go far enough. They fail to understand how God made us--as people with inherent limitations--and they fail to accept that as good. 
    In The Good News of Our Limits, professor and longtime ministry leader Sean McGever reveals the wonderful news that we cannot do, be, or know all of the things that others expect of us--and that we often expect from ourselves. Nor should we. As it turns out, these expectations are not God's expectations. The freeing truth is that God created us with limitations, and he did it for a reason. God is the only all-powerful, all-present, and all-knowing person, and we are not. We can only know and do some things, and we can only be in one place at a time. And that is enough. Accepting this truth frees us to find greater peace and joy, and somewhat surprisingly, greater effectiveness in life. 
    The Good News of Our Limits helps readers answer questions like:What are our God-given human limits?How do I find peace when I can't control the circumstances, tragedies, and difficulties that surround my life?How do I choose what is best when my time, focus, and abilities are limited?How many people can I realistically know personally?What can I do to deepen key relationships when I feel relationally maxed-out?How do I navigate all the information that comes my way each day? 
    Through personal stories and fascinating cultural insights, The Good News of Our Limits calls readers to embrace the blessedness of their limitations and adopt a few key practices to better balance their lives. Biblical and practical, it points to a better way forward for us all.
