  New York Times bestselling author Miroslav Volf on why striving for superiority is at odds with the Christian faith 
   
  Christianity Today 2025 Book Award Winner (Popular Theology) 
   
  "[A] smart take on a world obsessed with forward motion."--Publishers Weekly 
   
  Many people believe that ambition--striving to be better than others--improves us and advances society. But what if it actually makes us worse? 
   
  In The Cost of Ambition, world-renowned theologian and award-winning author Miroslav Volf argues that striving for superiority has negative consequences in all domains of life. Instead, we should strive for excellence. Volf explores 
   
  ● what Søren Kierkegaard, John Milton, and the apostle Paul say about the cost of ambition; 
  ● how we can achieve excellence rather than strive for superiority; 
  ● how to stop being plagued by our own sense of inferiority to others; and 
  ● why Christians must retrieve a humbler way of life. 
   
  Volf also examines what the teachings of Jesus and the stories in Genesis say on the matter. Volf explains how striving to be better than others devalues our achievements, surroundings, and relationships by turning them into mere means to an empty goal. This pursuit, though widely accepted in modern life, is at odds with key Christian convictions. 
   
  After exposing the toxicity of ambition, Volf uses contemporary examples to guide us toward striving for excellence.

  Greatest of All Blessings

  Like all visions in scripture they are on levels. So I could take it on this level, and if I took it on this level then tell a little story to illustrate it. So the greatest of all blessings would be a strong Imagination, a clear idea, and a determinate vision of things as we desire them to be, all clearly fixed in our mind, and never waver from that vision, regardless of what you hear, regardless of what rumor comes into your world. Just a strong Imagination, a clear idea, and a determinate vision of things as you would like them to be, which would imply the fulfillment of a dream, your dream…on this level. That same formula holds good for us on the highest level.

  Uncovering The Mystery of Your Soul

  Mark C Tolbert

  I was talking to someone about eternity one day, and they asked me where is the soul located and what does it look like. I did not have an immediate answer for them. I asked that person if they could give me a few days to read and research and get back with them. I began a search that would last over seven years; during those seven years, of asking professors, teachers, preachers and just about anyone that would have a conversation with me about the soul and eternity. Initially I was frustrated and  came short of the real answers. As I continued to read, write, pray and ask questions to people and to God. I finally had a few revolutionary breakthroughs. However the real answers came at the expense of painful and painstaking experiences. One will find when they are seeking something that is larger than themselves,  something that could help not only yourself but others in the race we call the human race, that wisdom will only come at a cost. Many times the cost is higher than we are willing to pay had we known what we were getting ourselves into. I hope and pray that this expose' about the soul will enlighten, encourage and embolden your life's journey. All humans have an eternal soul that is subject to the laws of eternity. I hope this books helps guide your eternal walk toward good and goodness.

  What Was In It For Jesus

  The thoughts about what is in “it” for Jesus came to me when this verse was read during a worship service in my local fellowship. 
  I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance (Ephesians 1:18). 
  I found it amazing to think that believers, his holy people, could be his rich and glorious inheritance. 
   Probably like most other Jesus followers, my focus has always been on what is in it for me. But what was in it for Jesus? "It" refers to His incarnation and sacrificial death. "It" refers to all those benefits that I think about. I have some knowledge of what I have gained by becoming a child of God and a Jesus follower, but what has Jesus gained by having me be one of His children? We know He has many children. What has Jesus gained by having many children? Really, what is in it for Him? 
  In this book, I have explored many illustrations, examples, and metaphors that are given in Scripture that give insight into the relationship between the Jesus follower and Jesus. This different perspective of looking at what Jesus had to gain actually magnifies what Jesus followers gain in their relationship with Jesus.  
  Here are a few examples detailed in the book: Creator-created, Father-child of God, King-subjects, head-body (church), leader-follower, and others.
