Sinopsis

SOLA Network's Asian American Book Awards Honorable Mention
Greatness is overrated.
People tend to measure success by worldly standards. We assume that greatness comes from charisma, influence, and followers. But God cares more about our character than about what people around us think of our reputations.
Pastor Jae Hoon Lee challenges us not to pursue greatness but to grow in goodness. Jesus called his followers to cultivate character of goodness, not to aspire to positions of power. The faithful Christian life is one that seeks to become good. These reflections and meditations on the good Christian life unpack what it means for the church to live in obedience and faith, to strip away ambitious self-glorification, and to instead live humble lives of goodness and love.

    An entrepreneur from Poduncksville with a vision teams up with an actor just out of prison and a has-been scriptwriter--is their effort truly inspired or doomed from the start? 
     
    A true star in every sense of the word, Brent had arrived--more enthusiastic fans with each new movie, a host of friends among Hollywood's elite, and more money than he could spend.  He didn't even notice the signals of the downward spiral that ended in a terrible accident...and six long years in prison. 
     
    But God finds Brent, and it is in prison he is transformed. On release, he sets himself up with a small lawn service business and volunteers his experience and acting skills with a local theatre group. 
     
    Celia had thought the inner and outer scars left by the accident were far beyond forgiveness--how could she ever find it in her to absolve Brent simply because he asks? 
     
    A Christian businessman, Bobby Dupree has a string of entrepreneurial successes behind him.  Then he is challenged with another venture--one that puts him squarely in the middle of an industry totally foreign to his experience.  How can he make this story into a film when he doesn't even know where to begin? 
     
    Thus begins an odyssey bringing some very unlikely people together to do something bigger than any of them could have imagined on their own. Their endeavor pits faith and vision against unlimited money and power thrown against this new upstart company from Nowhere called Shoestring Productions.

    Like most things we take for granted, the Catholic Creeds have an amazing story—actually a lot of stories. What seem a simple prayers or statementa of faith have fascinating origins. And there is a reason each Creed is so precisely worded the way it is, each word having been fought over with great passion: the Creeds had to be worded just right. This little book is an introduction to the struggles and heresies concerning the truth, as well as the men who fought to hand it down to us. The Catholic Faith: An Introduction to the Creeds discusses important questions like these:  Why are they called "Creeds," and how were they used in the early Church?What were the fights, debates and struggles involved in hammering out the Creeds?Why do Christians have a formal statement of their beliefs when other world religions don’t?Are the words and concepts of the Creeds found in Scripture, and if so, where?What is the one most crucial, fought-over, and non-biblical word in the Nicene Creed?What are the four important “marks” of the true Church that distinguish it from sects and denominations?What is the significance of the Creeds' emphasis on the bodily resurrection? 
    Also included are fascinating facts, historical development, arguments for defending the faith, a biblical summary, and much more!  
    Knowing the story behind the Creeds brings to life our fascinating history and beliefs. This book introduces the Creeds as both a prayer and a personal commitment. Here you have the summary of Catholic doctrine in a nutshell: easy to read, memorize, and practice.
