  Jonathan C. Augustine, Michael...

  Nationally recognized speaker and church leader Jay Augustine demonstrates that the church is called and equipped to model reconciliation, justice, diversity, and inclusion. 
   
   
   
  This book develops three uses of the term "reconciliation": salvific, social, and civil. Augustine examines the intersection of the salvific and social forms of reconciliation through an engagement with Paul's letters and uses the Black church as an exemplar to connect the concept of salvation to social and political movements that seek justice for those marginalized by racism, class structures, and unjust legal systems. He then traces the reaction to racial progress in the form of white backlash as he explores the fate of civil reconciliation from the civil rights era to the Black Lives Matter movement. 
   
   
   
  This book argues that the church's work in reconciliation can serve as a model for society at large and that secular diversity and inclusion practices can benefit the church. It offers a prophetic call to pastors, church leaders, and students to recover reconciliation as the heart of the church's message to a divided world.

  Where do you go when all that once stabilized your spiritual life suddenly shifts underneath you? When your faith is shaken and your leaders fail you? When you're languishing in ministry burnout? When you're grieving a friend who walked away from God? When the doubts, disappointments, and sufferings of this broken world tempt you to walk away from him too?Author and Bible teacher Courtney Reissig has wrestled with these questions. And when painful circumstances pulled down the trappings of easy Christianity and pushed her back against the wall of her faith, she had to decide. Will I walk away, or will I stay? And if I stay and wade through the rubble, what is left there to believe in?It is here in the hardest point of her story—in the season where trust was eroded and spiritual stability seemed elusive—where God met her. By opening her eyes to crucial and comforting moments in the Gospel of John, God made it clear: even in the most unstable and changing of times, there is One who stays the same. His name is Jesus Christ, and he's someone to believe in. If you feel disoriented, doubting, grieving, exhausted, or shaken in your faith, open these pages, and encounter the steadying power of the unchangeable Christ.

  The new king is crowned in triumph… 
  But his pride proves to be a fatal flaw… 
  And from out of his own house calamity falls upon him 
  Once a shepherd, a captain, and a fugitive, David is now king. He left behind the dangers of life on the run and embraced the comforts of living in the palace. No longer known as the “giant-slayer,” but as the “lion of Judah,” King David enjoys the popularity and prosperity brought on by his victories. 
  But peace in the nation of Israel has a double-edged sword. David’s pride subverts his judgment, and his desires overwhelm his heart leading him down a dark pathway. The king will go to any lengths to cover up his crimes, but disaster falls upon the House of David bringing this broken and contrite king to cry out to Yahweh for mercy. 
  Lion of Judah continues the tale of triumph and tragedy, deepest love and burning rivalries; the new epoch is given a voice…and it is The Song of Prophets and Kings.
