  Biblical Advice for Addressing Relational Frustrations in the Church
  Being hurt is inevitable, even in the church. That's because relationships and emotions, designed to reflect God's love, are marred by sin. When someone commits an offense, it may seem justifiable to retaliate, gossip, or suffer silently, but Christians are called to pursue godly forgiveness that leads to reconciliation.
  In this addition to the Church Questions series, Daniel P. Miller helps readers understand how to biblically confront conflicts in the church. Acknowledging that the main priority of relationships is always Christ's glory, he helps readers understand their moral responsibility when responding to frustrations and, ultimately, to trust in God's promise to use all pain for their edification.
  
  - Brief, Accessible Guide: Practical advice for addressing conflicts personally in prayer and interpersonally in fellowship
  - Biblical and Theological: Points to Scripture to explain how relational trials and disillusionment can help Christians grow spiritually
  - Part of the 9Marks Church Questions Series: Other titles include Why Should I Join a Church?; How Can I Serve My Church?; and How Can I Love Church Members with Different Politics?

  Experience the Kaleidoscopic Mystery of the Cross
  Everything about the gospel message leads to the cross, and proceeds from the cross. In fact, within the narrative of Scripture, the crucifixion of Jesus is literally the crux of the story—the axis upon which the biblical story turns. But it would be a mistake to think we could sum up the significance of the crucifixion in a tidy sentence or two. That kind of thinking only insulates us from the magnificence of what God has done. In our ongoing quest to make meaning of the cross, we need to recognize that this conversation will never conclude—that there is always something more to be said.
  Brian Zahnd reminds us that the meaning of the cross is multifaceted and should touch every aspect of our lives. Just as gazing through the eyepiece of a kaleidoscope reveals a new geometric image with every turn, Zahnd helps us see that there are infinite ways to behold the cross of Christ as the beautiful form that saves the world. In The Wood Between the Worlds, you'll find:
  
  - A compelling theopoetics of the cross that will bring deeper curiosity, appreciation, and wonder for the cross of Christ,
  - References to music, art, literature, and culture that bring new perspectives to our understanding of the cross, and
  - Zahnd's keen insights that liberate readers from flawed atonement theories and open us to experience anew the mystery of the cross.
  The Wood Between the Worlds is an invitation to encounter the cross of Christ anew.

  Effective communication serves as the bedrock of personal and professional success. It enables us to express our ideas clearly, persuade others, and forge stronger relationships. This chapter delves into the essential elements that make up effective communication, emphasizing the need to understand its fundamental principles. 
  At the core of effective communication lies the understanding of its basics. This involves recognizing the different modes of communication—verbal, non-verbal, and written—and knowing when and how to use each mode effectively. Communication is not just about speaking or writing well; it's equally about listening. Active listening skills are crucial as they allow individuals to interpret both the words and the non-verbal cues sent by others, enhancing mutual understanding. 
  The distinction between verbal and non-verbal communication is another significant aspect. Verbal communication uses words to convey messages, which can be in oral or written form. In contrast, non-verbal communication includes gestures, facial expressions, body language, and even the tone of voice. Mastering both forms is vital for effective communication, as non-verbal cues often speak louder than words.

  Mothers Children and the Body...

  How we talk about human life matters.
  In western post-Christian society, humans are thought of less like precious image bearers and more like commodities. The canary in the coal mine of this ideological shift is often women and children, which manifests itself in the seemingly built-in disdain towards motherhood and children for their lack of production of economically valuable goods.
  However, the risk of this utilitarian approach to human life is not just outside the church, but within those spaces as well. Indeed, the commodification of human life within the contemporary body politic is so deeply embedded within the systems, even the church has lost touch with some of the ways it inherently devalues the lives of women and children.
  Classics scholar Nadya Williams draws from voices both ancient and modern to illuminate how Christians can value human life amidst an empire that seeks to dehumanize that which is most precious. Bringing insights from the beliefs and practices of the early church in Greco-Roman context about motherhood, raising children, and human life, Williams suggests there is a way to recapture a vision that affirms the imago Dei in each person over and above our economic contribution to society.

  A Gospel-Rich, Reproducible Model for Making Disciples as Jesus Intended
  Biblical discipleship emphasizes encouragement, repentance, and spiritual growth—essential parts of the Christian life. However, well-meaning believers often struggle to follow Jesus, unaware their views are too legalistic, licentious, or individualistic. How can churches and Christians develop a healthy, successful path to disciple-making?
  In this second edition of Gospel-Centered Discipleship, Jonathan Dodson presents an effective, Spirit-led model for sanctification. Reminding readers that real discipleship is imperfect yet transformational, Dodson encourages Christians to engage more authentically with others as they grow in faith. Drawing from his own failures and successes while following Jesus, Dodson defines discipleship, describes the heart of a disciple, and gives practical guidance for mentor and peer-based discipleship as Jesus intended.
  
  - Revised and Expanded: Includes three new chapters and new illustrations
  - Applicable: Shows how discipleship can be practical and gospel-centered
  - Theological: Addresses the Holy Spirit's involvement in discipleship
  - Foreword by Matt Chandler: Author of The Explicit Gospel
