  An Examination of Worldview, Worldvision, and the Soul by Dutch Reformed Theologian J. H. Bavinck, Translated into English for the First Time
  Modern evangelicals differ on their concept of "worldview." Many have varying definitions of it and some even consider it to be a wholly unhelpful term in understanding the world around them. This volume by Johan Herman Bavinck examines the relationship between the soul, each human's unique personality, and worldview—acknowledging the importance of worldview while recognizing the dangers if worldviews are misapplied. 
  Personality and Worldview by J. H. Bavinck, nephew and student of Dutch Reformed theologian Herman Bavinck, creates a distinction between a worldvision (which all people have) and a worldview (which only few have in a mature and wise way). Profoundly influenced by the works of St. Augustine, Bavinck challenges readers to allow the gospel to reshape their worldviews and their personalities as they pursue godly wisdom. Translated into English for the first time by James Eglinton, Bavinck's accessible prose, personal applications, and more will greatly serve pastors, students, and laypeople alike. 
  
  - Foreword by Timothy Keller: Keller writes, "I could not be happier that Johan Herman Bavinck's Personality and Worldview has been made accessible to the English-speaking world. It is an important work, perhaps even what we call a 'game-changer.'"
  - Edited and Translated by James Eglinton: An expert scholar and author on the Dutch neo-Calvinist tradition 
  - Introduction by the Editor: Provides an overview of the book and a brief introduction to Johan Herman Bavinck's life
  - For Readers Who Enjoy Herman Bavinck: Works as a follow-up text to Herman Bavinck's Christian Worldview

  Rev. Richard D. Phillips digs into the early chapters of the Gospel of John to discover principles you can use for Christian outreach that were modeled by witnesses for Jesus and by Jesus Himself. Phillips unfolds biblical principles for evangelism by examining the ministry of John the Baptist and the calling of the first of Jesus’ disciples. Then, through a brief study of the Lord’s encounter with the Pharisee Nicodemus, he presents us with a theology of the gospel. Finally, he focuses in on Jesus' stirring encounter with the Samaritan woman to show exactly how Christ shared the good news.  Phillips’ clear and concise handling of these key stories will both motivate and instruct you in your witness on behalf of Christ. An appendix looks at the relationship between God’s sovereignty and evangelism.

  Outreach 2023 Resource of the Year (Theology and Biblical Studies) 
   
  The world cries out for a prophetic word to the chaos, unrest, and destructiveness of our times. Can the biblical prophets speak into our world today? 
   
  Old Testament ethicist M. Daniel Carroll R. shows that learning from the prophets can make us better prepared for Christian witness. In this guide to the ethical material of Old Testament prophetic literature, Carroll highlights key ethical concerns of the three prophets most associated with social critique--Amos, Isaiah, and Micah--showing their relevance for those who wish to speak with a prophetic voice today. 
   
  The book focuses on the pride that generates injustice and the religious life that legitimates an unacceptable status quo--both of which bring judgment--as well as the ethical importance of the visions of restoration after divine judgment. Each of these components in the biblical text makes its own particular call to readers to respond in an appropriate manner. The book also links biblical teaching with prophetic voices of the modern era.
