  In God’s Good Image - How Jesus...

  Cultural identity matters—to us and to Jesus. Culture is all around us. Nothing we think, do, or say exists outside of it. But the story of God is clear: We are all made in God’s good image, and God’s people are meant to be a diverse community. Looking to the example of Jesus, author J. W. Buck offers practical insights into how cultural identity fits into our walk as Christians. No matter where we come from and no matter how complex our cultural narratives, the Scriptures point to the One who embodied a particular identity—of a Jewish man in first-century Palestine—in order to shape our own.  ​ Jesus teaches those formed by majority culture to humbly embrace their identity as they foster space for others. And he empowers those from minority cultures to resist pressure to assimilate in unhealthy ways and instead live into their God-given identity. God dignifies our culture and wants us to shape it to look more like Jesus. We are meant to be like Jesus in our home culture, in our heart language, and throughout our collective journey to understand how our diversity points us to a better expression of God’s good image.

   John Knox was one of the most remarkable pastors, thinkers, and reformers that the West has ever known. Born in the turbulent era of the 16th century, Knox became known as a bold defender of the Christian faith who suffered greatly for the sake of the gospel of Christ and His Church. Yet, despite immense conflict with the Roman papacy, various kingdoms, and even his own countrymen, Knox made it abundantly clear that he would resist tyranny and obey God at every turn. Half biography, half historical theology, Jacob Tanner examines the life and times of this courageous reformer to see what modern Christians can learn from him.

  People tend to avoid what they can’t control. Believers often shy away from the Holy Spirit because we don’t know who He really is or what He might do. But if we will let Him into our lives, He will come with His power and change us forever. In School of the Spirit, Pastor Lee Cummings encourages believers to get to know the Holy Spirit, the most misunderstood Person of the Trinity. He illuminates biblical truths in a clear, easy-to-understand way and answers many common questions, such as:  Who is the Holy Spirit?  What did Jesus say about Him?  What does a Spirit-empowered life look like?  What are the nine gifts of the Spirit? What are their benefits?  Why should believers speak in tongues?  If you trust Jesus, then you can trust the Holy Spirit too.

  The market is flooded with books, conferences, and workshops on how to be a better leader. In most companies, leaders are noticed and applauded while followers are often viewed as weak and passive. However, Scripture tells us a different story; although leadership is valued and respected, being obedient followers of Christ is at the very heart of faith. 
  In The Call to Follow, Richard Langer and Joanne J. Jung teach readers that "followership" is essential to both organizational and spiritual flourishing. They argue that followership requires the development of specific skills and virtues modeled and extolled throughout Scripture. They point to examples of people from the Bible and church history who focused on following in the footsteps of their Savior rather than climbing a ladder of leadership. This helpful audiobook reexamines the nature of both leadership and followership, pointing to the life-transforming power of following Christ.
