  Why is the church so important to God? What’s really going on in the Bible? How can I make sense of my life? Finding Ourselves in God’s Story addresses the pressing questions and concerns that today’s youth bring to their faith. Introducing Christian faith from an Anabaptist perspective, author Michele Hershberger puts readers in touch with two stories that Christians constantly hear and tell. First, there is the Bible’s story of God working to restore us, and all of creation, to wholeness. The center of this story is Jesus Christ, who lived, died, rose, and still lives for us. The second story involves our own lives today, asking how we can connect with God’s story, where God is working in our lives, and what we will do with Jesus’ invitation to follow him. Hershberger invites readers to join a conversation that covers these and other questions about faith. Drawing on direct, honest dialogue with Mennonite teenagers, young adults, and pastors, this guide engages groups in the discussions that matter most as it leads readers deeper into a faith that can become their own as they consider baptism or church membership.

  The Golden Age Restored is a stunning piece of alchemical work that is vivid in its descriptions and a Jungian utopia for dream analysis and analogy of the individuation process.Originally written in 1622 by a German physician and alchemist under the pseudonym Henry Madathanas, The Golden Age Restored was published publically in the Musaeum Hermeticum (1625) and later translated into English by Arthur Edward Waite in his work The Hermetic Museum, Vol. I (1893). Waite's version of the text has been diligently edited by Jones so that it can be easily digested by modern readers.Jones has also included a foreword introducing the text and diligently footnoted the work to give meaning and context to the original writing.

  From beginning to end, the Bible reveals God’s gracious plan of salvation. To trace this unfolding plan and to find our place within it, Christians must give careful attention to the covenants God makes in Scripture.  In Signed, Sealed, Delivered, Dr. J.V. Fesko introduces the essential elements of Reformed covenant theology. This classical approach to reading God’s Word shows us how the whole Bible fits together with Jesus Christ at its center. Christians also gain clarity on the continuity of God’s promises to His people throughout history. In this way, covenant theology can hone our focus on the gospel, enrich our understanding of the sacraments, and deepen our love for the church, all to the glory of God.

  Barbara Crain Major and Joseph Barndt bring ninety combined years of experience as community organizers, teachers, and anti-racism trainers in community and church settings to this book. In Deconstructing Racism, they propose the deconstruction of racism's roots within systems and institutions that have been created, both structurally and legally, to serve white people. 
   
   
   
  The authors seek to unmask the complexities of racism and the invisible patterns that keep it in place. There is no quick fix, but they believe racism can be deconstructed and undone. In order to do this, they identify and address race-based identity, history, and cultural issues rooted in current systems. 
   
   
   
  Three chapters specifically address societal systems and provide anti-racism strategies for community organizers. Three chapters address racism as rooted in systems in the church and challenge people of faith to seek racial healing through understanding, honest confession, true reconciliation, and reconstructed church institutions. A final chapter outlines a way forward to and through a new era of anti-racist reconstruction. This way forward includes a new anti-racist mission statement, a new model of decision-making power, and new processes for accountability.

  See how beauty can come after heartbreak and suffering when you allow God to wipe away your tears. 
  "Whatever you are feeling, God can handle it--all of it. The tears, screams, and questions. God invites you to let Him tend to your heart." 
  In the bluegrass fields of Kentucky, Anne Wilson and her siblings, Jacob and Elizabeth, grew up in the security and love of their family--and Jesus. But when Jacob died in a car accident, Anne was thrust into a painful journey of grief and soul-wrestling that led to God calling her to create songs that glorified Him. 
  My Jesus weaves together Anne's personal story of tragedy and the journey toward healing along with an encouraging message to anyone longing for God to wipe away their tears. 
  No matter what season of life you're facing, My Jesus comes alongside you to:Show how God can bring purpose out of lossOffer hope in the midst of heartbreakRemind you that God never abandons you 
    
  My Jesus will help you discover the beauty that can emerge from suffering as you read Anne's story of growing closer to the God who always makes a way. 
    
  Praise for My Jesus: 
  "I love how Anne Wilson invites us into the cracks and crevices of her life and how she built her life on Jesus. My Jesus is personal, and it takes you on a journey through some of the most foundational parts of Anne's life that develop into a large picture where it is so clear that God was the artist of it all. As I read through each page, I felt like I was at coffee with Anne, hearing her story." 
  --Sadie Robertson Huff, author, speaker, and founder of Live Original 
  "The song 'My Jesus' has impacted so many of our lives in such important ways. Reading this book, being in the moments with Anne and her family, and hearing her faith rise up when her heart was broken, Anne has told a true and deep story that we all need to read."
