  Norse Paganism - A Comprehensive...

  Norse myth and folklore are loosely associated with a pattern that comprises complex characters and riveting tales. This is a reason why it takes up a significant place in history today and shows up often in pop culture. (Think Netflix’s Vikings). In essence, Norse mythology is a collection of stories that were spoken aloud and eventually written by the Vikings or the Norsemen and the Germanic people who resided in the present-day Scandinavian region between the periods, c. 790- c. 1100 CE. The deities worshipped were an integral part of their religion that also shaped their culture and strengthened their theology.  
  In essence, Norse folklore is much more profound and deep-seated than you think. In fact, the narratives which are retold today just touch the tip of the iceberg. This is also because we live in an oral society, where the myths and customs discussed can evaporate quite easily. In the past, the present-day Scandinavia region (primarily Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland, along with some parts of Iceland) was overwhelmingly oral too, which is possibly why we don’t have a detailed sketch of this interesting mythical domain. The intricacy of the stories which have survived and which have been recorded may change your opinion of mythology as a whole and Norse mythology in particular as it is represented in some of the most comprehensive tales today.

  Navigate Through Grief with Biblical Mental Health Tools 
   
   
   
  When you suffer a loss, you enter the realm of "used to be." You used to be married. You used to be employed. You used to be pregnant, secure, healthy, sober, thin. You used to be a son or daughter, a brother or sister, a mother or father. And in that used-to-be space there is deep emptiness, loneliness, and sorrow. It's a place we all dwell for a while. But it's not a place in which we are meant to remain. 
   
   
   
  The path forward includes exploring the unseen elements of grief. With this book, pastor Chuck Elliott and counselor Ashley Elliott light the way to a better future. Sharing biblical advice and proven mental health techniques, they help you learn how to fully feel and face your grief, hold onto your faith, and develop healthy ways to see yourself, your life, and your loved ones. They offer coping strategies for when moving forward seems impossible and guide you toward building new thinking patterns that will result in true healing and growth. 
   
   
   
  Maybe you "used to be" something—but there is a future waiting when you "will be" once more.

  A Biblical Theology of Sanctification from Genesis to Revelation The entire biblical narrative declares the righteousness of God and the consecration of his people. In this book, Marny Köstenberger explores the topic of sanctification―being set apart by God for holiness.  Surveying the Bible from beginning to end, Köstenberger shows that sanctification is grounded in the eternal holiness of God, who created humanity in his image. Now, in Christ, the Spirit sets believers apart and restores them to the original image. Sanctification often takes place in the midst of suffering and equips believers for their God-given mission. Short Studies in Biblical Theology: Part of a series designed to give readers accessible volumes on God’s word―other volumes include Resurrection Hope and the Death of Death; The Sabbath as Rest and Hope for the People of God; and more  Analyzes the Word “Sanctification” in Both Hebrew and GreekHelps Readers Understand How the Old and New Testaments Relate to Each Other

  Reckoning with History - Settler...

  Reckoning with History confronts the histories of settler colonialism and slavery and illumines how these two devastating realities informed and ultimately deformed Protestant Christianity in the North American colonies and antebellum United States. 
   
   
   
  This book explains how Christians engaged the sinful realities of Indigenous land dispossession and Black enslavement, shaping American Christianity in distinctive and enduring ways. It further underscores how white Christians justified land theft and racial oppression against Indigenous and Black persons with scriptural interpretations and theological expositions that remade Christianity into an American religion that bolstered economic, political, and social interests. Along the way, Yoo also features inspiring accounts of resistance to the Indian Removal Act of 1830 and the westward expansion of slavery. A final chapter draws lessons from these histories for the possibilities of what ministries of racial justice could be in American churches today. Yoo integrates cogent historical analysis with contemporary lessons for Christians that make Reckoning with History a definitive resource for understanding racism and pursuing racial justice in the United States.
