Friendship with Christ - A Biblical Historical and Theological Account

John A. Vissers

Synopsis

Friendship has the capacity to elevate our lives and make us better people. It plays an important role in our moral development, spiritual growth, and personal flourishing. This is true of friendship between humans, and it is also true of friendship with God in Christ. What did friendship with Christ mean for Christians in ages past, and what can it mean for us today? 
 
In Friendship with Christ, John Vissers offers a robust biblical, historical, and theological study of friendship with God in Christ. Rooted in the "friendship teaching" of John 15, this book draws on the threefold office of Christ as prophet, priest, and king to develop a theology of divine friendship against the backdrop of the biblical record and historical tradition. Friendship with Christ, Vissers argues, is a theological truth and experience that continues to provide consolation and hope in a secular age and a suffering world. 
 
With a foreword by Hans Boersma, this book shows that friendship with Christ has been central to the experience of the providential love of God throughout the church's history and that it still matters today. Friendship with Christ will appeal to professors and students of theology, Christology, and spiritual formation, as well as to pastors and church leaders.

Sacred Scars - Resting in God's...

Dr. Michelle Bengtson

We all endure trials, pain, and hardship in this life. The enemy often uses those experiences to convince us that our brokenness disqualifies us from ever being used by God again—that we can no longer be a testimony because of our emotional or physical scars. The truth is, your past pain and brokenness actually serve as preparation for what God wants to do in you and through you, if you will but surrender to and trust in him. 
 
 
 
In Sacred Scars, neuropsychologist and fellow sufferer Dr. Michelle Bengtson helps you 
 
 
 
● understand suffering through a biblical perspective 
 
 
 
● discover how the trials of your life serve a purpose 
 
 
 
● reflect on the healing that God has accomplished 
 
 
 
● comfort others with the comfort God has given you 
 
 
 
Just as Jesus's scars didn't disappear after his resurrection, our scars tell our story and lend credence to our testimony of the love and power of God. If you are ready to turn your past pain into present comfort and future hope, let Dr. Bengtson be your compassionate guide.

The Living Bridge - Resurrection...

Mike Cleveland

Five broken souls gather at the river's edge, each carrying unbearable pain. Geshriel meets them there—casting demons from Mary's tormented mind, promising separated Lydia she'll see her daughters again, releasing builder Matthias from seven years of guilt, turning revolutionary Cleopus from violence to hope, rescuing adulteress Tamar from death by stoning. 
  
Then authorities execute him. As he dies suspended over the river, witnesses watch his body transform into luminous stone—flesh becoming the bridge's foundation, blood flowing into mortar, his sacrifice literally forming the keystone connecting the divided shores. 
  
The five he healed watch in grief and wonder, not yet understanding that death cannot hold him—or undo what he's accomplished.
