  All her life, Jane believes she is small-town ordinary. . . until she isn't. Some people brand her a witch because of the cat while others believe she has a demon. Her family thinks she's ready for the nursing home, and the down-and-out reporter assumes she's a fake. But nobody, including Jane, can figure out how she does it: heal the sick. All the sick. All the time. Is it a gift of God? The Church is divided. Then, everything erupts when the foreigners arrive along with the government people and the scientists. Will Jane become a pawn or save herself?Sister Jane is a story that combines realism, considerations of the supernatural, and the conflicts and conundrums that are set loose by Jane's ability to heal. Author Irmgarde Brown creates characters that hold the reader's interest because they evoke an emotional response that registers as real. This is fiction that contains depth and serious questions. However, answers are left open to interpretation, and faith is never presented as a "one size fits all" experience of the human spirit. The plot begins on a strong note, and continues to build to an ending that is both unexpected and intriguing.

  Nobody's Mother - Artemis of the...

  Christianity Today Book Award Finalist—Biblical Studies
  Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award Finalist
  How Has Misinterpreting Paul Led to the Silencing of Women?
  Some Christians think Paul's reference to "saved through childbearing" in 1 Timothy 2:15 means that women are slated primarily for delivering and raising children. Alternate readings, however, sometimes fail to build on the best historical and textual evidence.
  Sandra Glahn thinks that we have misunderstood Paul by misunderstanding the context to which he wrote. A key to reading and applying 1 Timothy, Glahn argues, lies in getting to know a mysterious figure who haunts the letter: the goddess Artemis.
  Based on groundbreaking research and new data about Artemis of the Ephesians, Nobody's Mother:
  
  - Demonstrates how better background information supports faithful interpretation,
  - Combines spiritual autobiography with scholarly exploration, taking readers on a journey to ancient Ephesus and across early church history, and
  - Unveils the cult of Artemis and how early Christians related to it can give us a clearer sense of the type of radical, countercultural fellowship the New Testament writers intended Christ's church to be.
  This book is for those who want to avoid sacrificing a high view of Scripture while working to reconcile conflicting models of God's view of women. Through the unexpected channel of Paul's advice to Timothy—and the surprising help of an ancient Greek myth—Nobody's Mother lays a biblical foundation for men and women serving side by side in the church.
  "Mining an impressive wealth of research, including artifacts, Ephesian inscriptions, and literature from the likes of Homer and Pliny the Elder, Glahn makes an exacting case that Paul's words described a "specific time-bound situation"—debunking interpretations tying women to childbirth and barring them from church leadership for subsequent generations. It's a rigorous and much needed reassessment of a passage long used to silence women in the church." – Publishers Weekly Starred Review, July 2023

  The Business of Is-Ness - How to...

  What is it? Few questions are more basic or more important that defining what a thing is. And yet, few questions are more confused. What is a human being? What is a man and a woman? What is marriage? And what is a family? Questions like these stand at the heart of modern ethics, and Christians who love their neighbors need to have good answers to them.  
  In nine chapters, The Business of Is-Ness answers nine questions about how to live in the world God has made the world. Without technical jargon, The Business of Is-Ness aims to help faithful Christians see from Scripture what the world is, as God intended. While the gospel of Jesus Christ offers redemption to sinners who worship creation instead of the Creator, such good news depends upon a proper understanding of God’s world. Indeed, grace does not destroy nature; it restores it. Yet, that truth depends a proper understanding of what nature is. 
  As Creator, God defines what the world is and how it is meant to work. And in his Word, God has revealed what those definitions are. Accordingly, anyone who takes seriously God’s Word can know with certainty what God has said about himself, his world, and everything in it.  
  In our confused age the nature of creation is under constant threat. So, it is vital that Christians know more than the gospel of redemption. They must also be able to proclaim and explain the doctrine of creation. In a word, “Is-Ness” is our business. And this book will help you proclaim the glorious truths of God’s creation, even as you look for the new creation.
