Summary

"Theologically grounded and refreshingly practical."--Kristin Kobes Du Mez, New York Times bestselling author of Jesus and John Wayne 
 
What if the way we've been taught to follow Jesus is missing something essential? What if there's more to the gospel than we've experienced--something that could revolutionize how we love our neighbors and serve our communities? 
 
In The Justice of Jesus, public theologian and international speaker Joash Thomas reveals how authentic biblical faith naturally leads to caring for the vulnerable and working for positive change in our neighborhoods. Drawing from his unique perspective serving in churches across different cultures and continents, Thomas shows how justice isn't just a "social issue"--it's at the very heart of what it means to follow Christ. Whether you're a pastor, small group leader, or simply want to make a real difference in your community, this book offers practical wisdom you can actually use: 
 
● simple steps to help your church better serve struggling families in your neighborhood 
● biblical foundations that show why caring for others isn't optional for Christians 
● real success stories from churches that are making a tangible impact in their communities 
● practical ideas for prayer, volunteering, and partnerships that don't require a huge budget 
● fresh insights on following Jesus that will deepen your faith and expand your heart 
 
This isn't about politics. It's about discipleship. 
 
The Justice of Jesus is perfect for: 
 
· church leaders seeking authentic community engagement 
· small groups wanting to study practical discipleship 
· Christians curious about faith-based social action 
· anyone asking, "How can my faith make a real difference?" 
 
Thomas doesn't just point out problems; he provides hope and concrete solutions. Drawing from Scripture and real-world examples, he shows how ordinary believers can do extraordinary things when they embrace Jesus's vision for justice and healing.  
 
The Justice of Jesus will inspire you with achievable ways to live out your faith more fully and help your church become a beacon of hope in your community.

    Divine Names - The 99 Healing...

    Divine Names is a unique contribution to understanding life and oneself on a deeper level: by learning to open to the Divine. It draws on original Arabic literature and on the author's many years of personal practice, teaching, and guiding others on their spiritual paths to healing, to becoming whole. It focuses on the use of the Divine Names in dhikr, individual meditations and healing practices. 
 
 
 
Whether we admit it or not, human beings are searchers: we want to understand; we want to know; we want to be known. Our quest may take many forms, yet ultimately it ends in nothing but pure praising of the Divine, even if this comes after our last breath. The outside always furthers the inside because the task and the meaning of life is always about reuniting—about connecting everything on the outside to its inner truth. It is the knowledge of the heart which is always capable of uniting. Such is the path of the Sufis. 
 
 
 
The Sufi tradition centers on the opening of the heart and nothing touches the heart as much as beauty. In this book, the author's unique style of writing, which combines clarity and poetic inspiration, is coupled with distinctive and ornamental Arabic calligraphy of each of the 99 Divine Names to make it a visually stunning tribute to this tradition. It will be enjoyed regardless of a person’s religious beliefs.

    In The Future is Bivocational, Andrew Hamilton casts a compelling vision for bivocational mission and ministry. He not only provides a strong biblical and missiological rationale for bivocational leadership, but he also shares practical insight on the benefits and challenges of being bivocational. I really love this book. I will recommend it often to pastors and church planters.Brad Brisco, Director of Bivocational Church Planting for the North AmericanMission Board and author of Missional Essentials and Next Door as It Is in Heaven 
Andrew is an experienced and insightful bivocational pastor. He has written a challenging book, calling the church to reconsider its bivocational roots and to explore this dimension as the means to a healthy and vibrant missional future. The Future is Bivocational ought to be read and taken seriously by all pastors who seek effective missional engagement and connection with the world around them.Alan Hirsch, Founding Director of Forge Mission Training Network 
This book is the most important book I've read on ministry in the last decade. Bivocational ministry is not just a fad. This form of ministry has deep roots in the church's history and is the most common form of ministry in World Christianity. Bivocational ministry is revolutionising our current practices of ministry. Andrew Hamilton writes out of deep conviction and practical experience. This book shows us how to navigate the challenges and opportunities of the bivocational life. The future is bivocational. Every church leader should read this book. Andrew Hamilton's book should be on the reading list of all ministry teams and in every ministry training program.Graham Joseph Hill Author of "Holding Up Half the Sky"and State Leader for Baptist Mission Australia WA

    Words With God - Trading Boring...

    Do you feel fragmented? Like life is just a series of compartments you have to move between? Like your days are nothing more than to-do lists? Like your spirit is skewed out of alignment? Do you long to feel whole, connected, and fully integrated in mind, body, spirit, and relationship? 
 
 
 
The best and surest way to pursue such wholeness is through prayer. Not the semimindless, I-just-ask-God-for-stuff-then-listen-to-the-deafening-silence kind of prayer you've tried before. That's not working. What you need is authentic connection that leads to harmony with God, yourself, and others. That kind of prayer is what Words with God is all about. 
 
  
 
In this thoughtful book, Addison Bevere breaks prayer out of its religious box and places it at the center of your everyday life, the place where God longs to make himself real to you.
