  Going through the discipleship process can be tough. Life's challenges, hardships, struggles, and daily distractions can become discouraging. Developing a Disciple: Book 2-a refreshing look at how to stay encouraged and remain engaged in the discipleship process-helps to keep the eyes of the heart focused on Jesus Christ. With personal examples of the author's testimony throughout his life, it is not difficult to see how Jesus redeems and reconciles every heart that would come near to His redemptive work. The study that goes along with each story and chapter will allow the Holy Spirit to illuminate Scripture deep in the heart.

  Postcolonial Politics and...

  Postcolonial Politics and Theology seeks to reform and reimagine the field of political theology—uprooting it from the colonial soil—using the comparative lenses of postcolonial politics and theology to bring attention to the realities of the Global South. Kwok Pui-lan traces the history of the political impacts of Western theological development, and the need to shift these interlocking fields toward non-Western traditions in theory and practice. 
   
   
   
  A special focus of the book is on the changing sociopolitical realities of American Empire and Sino-American competition, illustrated in Donald Trump's slogan of "Make America Great Again" and Xi Jinping's hope for a "China Dream." The shifting of U.S. and Asian relationships highlights the need to move our theological and political categories away from a vision of strongman domination and toward a postmodern, postcolonial, and transnational world, especially exemplified in the Asia Pacific context. 
   
   
   
  She explores how these theologies are being developed in global, postcolonial contexts, through struggles for democracy and civil disobedience in Hong Kong, by efforts to reclaim selfhood and sexual identity from exploitative colonial desire, through the work of interreligious solidarity and peacebuilding, and in the practice of earth care in the face of ecological crisis.

  Let God Change Your Life - How...

  Evangelist Greg Laurie calls all Christians back to radical New Testament living in his latest offering, Let God Change Your Life. 
  Imagine what it would have been like to be a follower of Jesus; first-century Christians walked away from their old lives just to be where He was. What they learned, sitting at His feet, was discipleship. And when His work on earth was done, first-century Christians took His words and example and spread out, teaching the gospel to everyone. 
  The good news is that we, too, can participate in this lifestyle. Laurie drills it down in three simple ideas: get to know Jesus, follow His plan for discipleship, and use it to tell others what we know. Laurie’s tone is clear, direct, and biblical.

  A heart-wrenching story of heroic bravery and impossible love, deep in the forest, under the cruel Nazi regime. 
  Poland, 1942. Chaya is a seventeen-year-old daydreamer whose life is turned upside down when the Nazi regime invades her home. When her father and brother are brutally murdered, she and her mother are banished to the ghetto. 
  When all the Jews of the ghetto are instructed to round up at the front gate, Chaya and her mother fear that the end is near. But miraculously, Chaya manages to slip away, escaping from the ghetto unseen. She wanders from hiding place to hiding place, suffering many hardships, assisted by good people who are willing to risk their lives to ensure her safety. 
  A chance encounter with a young partisan man from her town, and his inspiring stories of heroics, awakens in her a desire to join the fighting in the forest – a lone woman among dozens of men. 
  In this masculine world, which is no place for a female fighter, she seeks to fit in. Yehuda, a man she met in the forest, helps her to obtain her wish, and she becomes an integral part of the partisan uprising force. 
  Many fall victim to the long and hard months of fighting, but Chaya and Yehuda persevere, developing a deep emotional connection through their struggles. Will they survive the inferno and regain their lives?

  Listening to Scripture - An...

  Looking for a guide to interpreting the Bible that is accessible, up-to-date, and theologically grounded? A renowned Old Testament scholar and coauthor of the bestselling The Drama of Scripture introduces us to reading the Bible with an ear toward hearing God's address. "When we read the Bible, we need to take off our shoes, as it were, because we are on holy ground," says Bartholomew. "We take up the Bible to read it, only to find that through it God speaks to us. This is the awesome potential of Bible reading and interpretation." 
   
  Bartholomew begins with a theological orientation, including topics such as the relationship between prayer, analysis, and reading Scripture; the Bible as the true story of the whole world; and reading the text in light of its literary, historical, and kerygmatic (proclamation) dimensions. He then explores the history of interpretation before discussing how we receive the Bible liturgically, ethically, and missionally. Throughout the book, exercises in lectio divina invite readers to engage both the head and the heart as they learn to interpret the Bible. 
   
  Professors and students of the Bible will value this work. It will also appeal to church leaders and other serious students of the Bible.
