  Why Church? - Christianity as It...

  PhD Scott Cowdell

  An argument for the centrality of the Eucharistic church in an increasingly tribal world. 
   
   
    
  As Western culture has secularized, the church has increasingly become marginalized and is seen as providing support and optional resources, rather than indispensable to the Christian life. In this volume, theologian Scott Cowdell argues for a recovery of the church as the proper context for Christian faith, life, and mission. In Why Church? Cowdell considers how we have arrived at this moment, examining how perceptions of the church have changed in response to increasing individualism and institutional failings. Suggesting that the Eucharistic Church embodies Christ's desire to draw humankind to him, Cowdell shows how the Christian life depends on Christian community. 
   
   
    
  Written with adult formation in mind and from a perspective of generous orthodoxy, Why Church? makes a provocative case for the centrality of the church to Christian life. Discussion questions at the conclusion of each chapter offer provocative conversation starters for any adult education group.

  you only live twice

  In a world of enduring winter, You Only Live Twice is a hope-filled signpost for spring’s birth—a collection of forty-nine Easter-Advent poems. They are calls to courage in the lingering cold, knowing in hope like the early-blooming crocus, that spring came before, and it will come again. This anthology declares the truth that two millennia ago, a Man died on a mission of grace for the sinner then rose again on Easter; thus Jesus lived twice. On a future day when He returns as the resurrection and the life, so shall His children live again. 
  They’re poems of winter and spring, of hope and courage, of a Kingdom to come that’s certain and bright. 
  For the soul banking its future on that Messiah King, these are a poetic invitation to embrace the truth of Easter—that there is a forever life of far more value than these current, uncertain days. In Jesus, we’ll get to live it. 
  For the follower of Jesus, Good Friday yielded Easter. Winter always yields spring. And death will yield life. So, like the deep-red growth of spring roses on brittle, dead branches, dare to believe your resurrected King. 
  Because of Jesus’ victory on Easter, one can live twice.
