Iron Sharpens Iron - Friendship...

Michael A. G. Haykin

The modern world, with its emphasis on speed and busyness and the mis-named "social" media, has not been an especially welcoming place to develop long-lasting, solid friendships that help to nurture the heart.  Providing exemplars and guidance in this challenging situation, this book on friendship looks at some of the details of the friendships of the eighteenth-century pastor-theologian Andrew Fuller to help us think about and engage in meaningful relationships that provide joy and comfort (in the older sense of that term as "strength") for the Christian journey.  This is an ideal study for anyone desirous of being a better friend, as well as for those interested in knowing something of the history of Christian friendship.

Expectation Disappointment & Hope

Stan Rayford

"Life is largely a matter of expectation." Roman poet Horace (Quintus Horatius Flaccus), who coined the phrase "Carpe diem" or "Seize the day," seems to suggest that from the moment we rise each morning to the moment we lay down to sleep, we are filled with expectation. Yet, others would disagree asserting that it is best to live without expectations in order to avoid painful disappointment. I submit to you that we can neither live without expectation or disappointment. So, that leaves us with the need to learn to manage our expectations and minimize disappointment. That's what this book aims to do. At the completion of your reading, you should understand the essence of expectation; the levels of expectation; with whom you should place your expectations; and when to stick your neck out in expectation. Further, if at the outset of your reading you subscribed to life with "no expectations," perhaps at your completion you will be free to more safely expect again. Stan Rayford has over 20 years of experience as pastor of Restoration Fellowship Tabernacle of Detroit and as a licensed professional counselor. He has earned an MA in Theological Studies and a second MA in Pastoral Counseling from Ashland Theological Seminary. He holds a BA in Journalism from the University of South Carolina.

Break Blow Burn and Make - A...

E. Lily Yu

From the award-winning author of On Fragile Waves comes an inspirational, surprising guide to creation and creativity, and how both bring us closer to God.   Centuries ago, sound theology and good fiction were friends and not strangers. Decades ago, authors strove not for self-expression and self-disclosure but for a mastery of craft and language and books that transformed the reader with wisdom and love. In more recent years, the old ideals have been exchanged for lesser ones.   Few guides to writing, which tend to focus on mechanics, point of view, and plot, address the more important matters of meaning, depth, and heart. But it is the latter qualities that make a book a blessing and gift to both writer and reader. Like Christ’s invitation to follow, they demand a risk and sacrifice of the self and all it holds dear. Writers from George MacDonald to James Baldwin understood this, but in recent years this understanding has been lost. Making old things new, this book proposes an ethics of reading, writing, and living based on truth and love.  Break, Blow, Burn, & Make returns the literary conversation to the practices of co-creation with God. Part bugle call, part compass for writing and for life, and part love song to the books that set us on fire, it offers those who are willing to receive it the courage to live, read, and write more deeply and honestly.

Pollution and the Death of Man

Francis A. Schaeffer, Udo W....

A Classic Work on the Christian Response to Today's Ecological Crisis 
From the time of creation, God placed the earth in our care. Since then, humans have had a strained relationship with the ecosystem. We have often misused resources and polluted the water, air, and land. But if God's plan for redemption includes the earth, we must be good stewards of his creation now. With environmental threats increasing, how should Christians respond?
This classic work by Francis A. Schaeffer looks at modern ecological crises through the lens of theology and Scripture. Renowned for his work in applied philosophy and theology, Schaeffer answers serious philosophical questions about creation and ecology. He concludes that we must return to a profoundly and radically biblical understanding of God's relationship to the earth, and of our divine mandate to exercise godly dominion over it.
