Flame of Love - A Theology of...

Clark H. Pinnock

In what may be regarded as his magnum opus, Clark Pinnock explores the vital Christian doctrine of the Holy Spirit. Writing out of wide learning and deep personal passion, he points the way to restoring the oft-neglected Spirit to centrality in the life and witness of the church. Pinnock's book is both catholic—respecting the beliefs and worship of the historic church—and evangelical—drawing particularly on the heritage of the Reformation. Always in sight is the mission of the church, because "people want to meet the real and living God and will not be satisfied with a religion that only preaches and moralizes." For this second edition, theologian Daniel Castelo draws from his experience using Flame of Love in the classroom to add notes with helpful commentary and brief reflections on each chapter's main themes and contributions. While the classic text is preserved, the book becomes even more accessible to contemporary readers.

Outside the Camp Where Jesus Is

Dr. Elden Daniel

Believers are exhorted to go outside the camp where Jesus is in Hebrews 13:13. Let us, then, go to him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore. We ask, What camp? Do we even know we are in camp? Do we want to bear the disgrace He bore? See the dilemma? Jesus followers want to be where Jesus is but to do so they will have to leave the camp. Those outside the camp are outsiders. Do we want to be outsiders? To go to where Jesus is means we have to leave where we are. This becomes very mysterious. The first four chapters elaborate on the concept of camps. This is important background information for personal application for the Jesus follower that comes in the last three chapters. The overall experience of the seven chapters is the creating of a setting for understanding a closer relationship with Jesus. This is something every Jesus follower wants.The reader will receive an expanded understanding of what constitutes a camp. They will be introduced to many examples of leaving a camp and arriving at another camp. The adventure of reading this book will stimulate the readers to think about the camps they are in, the camps they have left, the camps they have gone to, and what camps they may want to go to. This book is available in print and ebook format.Dr. Daniel has a website: https://adventuresinbiblicalthinking.home.blog/ where he posts short articles about adventure in Biblical thinking.

When Angels Cry

MaryLu Tyndall

Not since the Left Behind series has there been a more compelling and eye-opening novel. Taut, tense, and totally unpredictable, When Angels Cry is a powerful love story not only for the heart and soul, but one for the ages—especially the age to come. — Julie Lessman, award-winning author of the Daughters of Boston, Winds of Change, and Isle of Hope series.
In the not too distant future… Wars, plagues, and famines ravage the world, immorality and violence are rampant, and the Bible is outlawed. Angelica Smoke, a single mother and cocktail waitress, ascends the steps of a megachurch to deliver a message from God to the one man she hoped to never see again.
That message thrusts world-famous pastor Daniel Cain into a whirlwind of confusion, causing him to seek out Angelica and demand an explanation. But the woman broke his heart once and is now involved in a fanatical cult. Even being seen with her could damage his career. Still, he cannot stay away, and the more time he spends with her, the more he begins to doubt everything he believes.
Angelica is a seer. God grants her visions of the future, but she has no idea what to do with them. Her top priority is protecting her son—from the world, the culture, the devil, and especially from Daniel. But God keeps throwing them together, causing her fears to rise and reopening old wounds that threaten to tear her soul apart. Angels watch over the couple, protecting and hoping they will make the right choices. But the angels are limited in what they can do as the end of the age comes to a close and the spiritual battles intensify, not only for Angelica and Daniel, but for all humanity.
