Baptism - Three Views

David F. Wright

Sinopse

The Christian church confesses "one baptism." But the church's answers to how, whom and when to baptize, and even what it means or does, are famously varied.
This Spectrum Multiview volume provides a forum for thoughtful proponents of three principal evangelical views to state their case, respond to the others, and then provide a summary response and statement. Sinclair Ferguson sets out the case for infant baptism, Bruce Ware presents the case for believers' baptism, and Anthony Lane argues for a mixed practice.
As with any good conversation on a controversial topic, this book raises critical issues, challenges preconceptions and discloses the soft points in each view. Evangelicals who wish to understand better their own church's practice or that of their neighbor, or who perhaps are uncertain of their own views, will value this incisive book.
Spectrum Multiview Books offer a range of viewpoints on contested topics within Christianity, giving contributors the opportunity to present their position and also respond to others in this dynamic publishing format.

Courage - Fighting Fear with Fear

Wayne A. Mack, Joshua Mack,...

Fear is so much a part of the human experience that we may think there's no escape. Our own earthly solutions fall short, but God has offered us a better remedy: a spirit of "power and love and discipline" (2 Tim. 1:7 NASB) that can overcome fear of others, irrational fear, and sinful fear. Through short lessons and discussion questions, Wayne and Joshua Mack show how we can find true courage by fearing God and trusting in him alone. This book can be used for individual growth and development, for group study, or for homework assignments for those in counseling.

Ben Hur A Tale Of The Christ

Lew Wallace

Ben-Hur is a story of two very different heroes. Judah Ben-Hur, a prince of Jerusalem, is involved in an accident to the Roman procurator which is taken to be intentional. He is seized and sent to the fleet as a galley-slave, while his family is imprisoned and the family goods confiscated. When Ben-Hur saves the fleet captain from drowning after his ship is sunk in a fight with pirates, that officer adopts him as son and heir. With Roman training, Ben-Hur distinguishes himself in the arena and the palistrae and appears to be on the way to high military command. With the help of a faithful family retainer and a generous Arab sheik, Ben-Hur is enabled to take part in a widely touted chariot race, where one of the other charioteers is the boyhood friend who connived to punish him for the accident and split his estate. That rival is crippled, financially and bodily, in a no-holds-barred race (memorable from the 1959 movie with Charlton Heston). Ben-Hur turns his attention to the prophesied King of the Jews, when through the sheik he meets Balthasar, one of the Three Wise Men, and hears of the child born years ago. Will Ben-Hur be the general who brings victories to the King, and finally liberates Israel from the oppressive Roman yoke? In his quest for the answer, Ben-Hur seeks out the Nazarene, now rumored to be The Messiah. THAT hero needs no introduction. Curious about the lack of kingly trappings and ambitions about this man, Ben-Hur begins to suspect that his kingdom is not of this world. And with him, we receive a gut-wrenching eye-witness view of Jesus’ arrest, humiliation, and crucifixion. Lewis Wallace was an American lawyer, Union general in the American Civil War, governor of the New Mexico Territory, politician, diplomat, and author from Indiana.

The Children of Jesus

Aariv Wadhwa, Anshumala Singh

A Gentle Guide 
Long ago, in a village nestled between rolling hills and whispering trees, a group of children gathered every morning under the soft light of the sunrise. They were drawn by someone special, someone whose words felt like a warm embrace around their hearts. 
His name was Jesus. 
With eyes as kind as the morning sun and a smile that made everyone feel safe, Jesus loved to sit with the children, sharing stories about the beauty of kindness, the power of love, and the joy of helping others. His words were gentle, like the touch of a soft breeze, yet filled with a wisdom that stayed with the children long after they heard them. 
Every day, they learned something new: how to forgive, how to be brave, how to love even those who were different. Jesus showed them that, no matter how small they were, they could make the world a better place with the simple actions of a kind heart. 
In this book, you will walk with these children as they discover the lessons Jesus taught them, lessons that are as precious today as they were then. Each story is a little seed, waiting to grow in the hearts of those who read it, spreading joy, love, and light. 
So come along, and open your heart to the warmth of these stories. Let’s journey together to learn from Jesus, the gentle guide who believed that every child, and every act of kindness, could change the world.
