Synopsis

In "The Gospel Object Book," C. H. Woolston crafts a profound and innovative exploration of biblical narratives, presenting them in a format designed for both instruction and inspiration. This unique work utilizes vivid illustrations and engaging text to connect young minds with the essence of the Gospel. Woolston's literary style is characterized by clarity, accessibility, and a focus on the pedagogical aspects of faith, making complex theological concepts approachable for a diverse audience. Set in the context of the late 19th century, a time when religious education was evolving, this book serves as a bridge between tradition and modernity, reflecting the era's quest for youth engagement in spiritual matters. C. H. Woolston was a dedicated theologian and educator whose own experiences in the church and commitment to child ministry significantly informed his writing. His passion for making the Gospel accessible to the younger generation, along with his background in religious studies, catalyzed the creation of "The Gospel Object Book." Woolston's profound understanding of scripture and pedagogy shines throughout, aiming to foster a lifelong interest in Christian teachings among children. I wholeheartedly recommend "The Gospel Object Book" not only to educators and parents seeking effective resources for teaching the Gospel but also to anyone interested in the intersection of faith and literature. Woolston's innovative approach and dedication to enriching the spiritual lives of the young make this book an essential addition to both personal and educational collections.

Deep Reading - Practices to...

Rachel M. De Smith Roberts,...

This book helps readers develop practices that will result in deep, formative, and faithful reading so they can contribute to the flourishing of their communities and cultivate their own spiritual and intellectual depth. 
 
 
 
The authors present reading as a remedy for three prevalent cultural vices—distraction, hostility, and consumerism—that impact the possibility of formative reading. Informed by James K. A. Smith's work on "the spiritual power of habit," Deep Reading provides resources for engaging in formative and culturally subversive reading practices that teach readers how to resist vices, love virtue, and desire the good. 
 
 
 
Rather than emphasizing the spiritual benefits of reading specific texts such as Dante's Divine Comedy or Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the authors focus on the practice of reading itself. They examine practices many teachers, students, and avid readers employ—such as reading lists, reading logs, and discussion—and demonstrate how such practices can be more effectively and intentionally harnessed to result in deepreading. The practices apply to any work that is meant to be read deeply.

Fruitful Theology - How the Life...

Ronni Kurtz

Why do the theologians rage? Even a cursory scrolling of social media may lead you to the conclusion that you have to be angry to do theology. Sadly, our day is characterized by theological fighting—complete with harsh words, exaggeration, biting sarcasm, and the spirit of tearing down our brothers and sisters in Christ. But it does not have to be this way. In fact, it should not be this way. In Fruitful Theology, Ronni Kurtz swims upstream to counter this prevailing problem. Instead of theology leading to anger, division, and discord, this book shows that the life of the mind can actually lead to the fruit of the Spirit. Fruitful Theology is for anyone who: Wants to grow in an understanding of Scripture, but is afraid that knowledge will make them arrogant; Is confused about the relationship between doctrine and Christian living; Is concerned that theological conviction promotes disunity and discord among Christians; Desires to grow in Christian maturity, but isn’t sure how theology fits into that desire. What if our speech and conduct were seasoned more with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control? How might the church’s unity be restored, and our witness be maximized, if we were characterized by the fruit of the Spirit instead of the spirit of our age? Theology may not be the most obvious candidate in helping reorient our life towards the fruit of the Spirit, but a right contemplation of God can indeed lead to right living for God, and that is exactly what this book hopes to explore.
