Becoming ProGrace - Expanding...

Angela Weszely

United in Grace, Beyond Debate
Conversations about abortion often center on the question: Are you pro-life or pro-choice?
But what if that's the wrong question?
Drawing upon the life and teachings of Jesus, Becoming ProGrace invites Christians to ask new questions, such as:

- What if conversations about abortion didn't have to feel so tense, divided, or dehumanizing?
- What does it mean to affirm the image of God in every person involved?
- How do we navigate tension we may feel when our deepest Christian values seem to conflict?
- What would it take for Christian communities to become spaces of empathy, listening, and grace?

Including insights and personal stories from Christians of diverse denominational backgrounds and political perspectives, Becoming ProGrace articulates a uniquely Christian response to abortion that calls us to take on the character of Christ rather than trying to change others, offering a much-needed message of hope for our divided world.
Jesus led with grace. As we reimagine our approach to the abortion conversation, so can we.

Introduction to Biblical...

Jacqueline Grey, Paul W. Lewis

This introduction to biblical interpretation expands the interpretive task to encompass both comprehension of the Bible's content and active participation in God's redemptive plan. The authors help readers engage with the beauty of God's Word and read it holistically for their intellectual and spiritual growth. They address the nature of interpretation; emphasize the Holy Spirit's role in the production, interpretation, and application of the Bible as a communication of the triune God; and explore the Bible's genres and historical contexts through the lens of God's redemptive story. They also provide principles and accessible guidelines for biblical interpretation in global contexts, including a simple outline for beginning students to follow as they start interpreting and applying Scripture. Above all, the authors emphasize the transformative nature of reading Scripture. 
 
This series reflects the changing face of global Christianity. Series volumes highlight themes of interest to Pentecostal/Charismatic students; however, the books are respectful and inclusive of a variety of church traditions. Series editors are Jerry Ireland, Paul W. Lewis, and Frank D. Macchia.

A New Way to Love Your Neighbor...

Jada Edwards

In a world that revels in outrage and embarrassing others at worst—or maybe just ignoring those we don’t like at best—Christians know they are supposed to “be loving” instead. But how? “Being loving” sounds nice, but what does love really look like, and how does it show up? Spoiler alert: it looks nothing like the world’s conventional definitions of love. After all, if those cultural approaches to love were working, why are you still witnessing people tearing each other apart on the internet, or avoiding your coworker in passive-aggressive ways, or fighting yet again with your spouse over who’s on dish duty, or bickering with your neighbor over whether your trashcan is parked in the right place? In her much-anticipated debut book, compelling and sought-after Bible teacher Jada Edwards schools us all on how to transform our relationship with both God and others (yes, even those we don’t like!). In short, Jada reveals how we often get love wrong. But with the right definition and expression of love, so much can change—including our relationships. In this book, you’ll discover: How to release yourself from 4 limits holding you back from fully experiencing God’s love for you How to adopt 5 clear and surprising ways to be loving to those around you How to be curious, free, brave, resilient, and real in your relationships How to experience transformation in any kind of relationship A rich, full, and loving relationship with God and others is possible, so long as you get love right.
