  The Old Testament Case for...

  Matthew Curtis Fleischer

  "Fleischer is an attorney, and he makes his case with clarity that would win over any unbiased jury." —Brian D. McLaren 
  The God of the Old Testament drowned nearly every living thing on earth, ordered whole cities put to the sword, and told Israel to kill "both man and woman, child and infant." Richard Dawkins called him "arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction." 
  The Old Testament Case for Nonviolence takes the hard passages seriously and argues that, read in context, they are not an embarrassment the New Testament has to clean up. They are the opening chapters of the Bible's own case against violence. 
  Fleischer shows that God revealed his ethics the way a good teacher does: incrementally, inside a story, not all at once in a rulebook. Set beside the law codes of Egypt, Assyria, and Babylon, the Mosaic Law was a sharp turn toward restraint—fewer capital offenses, limits on retaliation, and protections for foreigners, widows, orphans, and slaves that existed nowhere else in the ancient world. Jesus did not reverse that trajectory. He finished it, carrying "an eye for an eye" to "turn the other cheek" and "love your neighbor" to "love your enemies." 
  Fleischer does not skip the ugly parts. The conquest of Canaan gets its own chapter, taken at face value—assuming God commanded exactly what it says. Only then does he weigh the evidence that the Old Testament's portrait of God, like its ethics, was still a work in progress, and that the God fully seen in Jesus may never have been the warrior the ancient writers took him to be. 
  Written for Christians who hold a high view of Scripture and are tired of choosing between the Bible and their conscience, this book answers the three questions that will not go away: Can the Old Testament's violence be squared with Jesus? Whose example are we supposed to follow? And what is God actually like? 
  No proof-texting. No dismissing the troubling texts as myth. Just the whole story, read the way it was written to be read.

  The Stories We Tell - Every...

  READ BY THE AUTHOR 
  AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 
  Imagine if all the worn-out, untrue, painful chapters of our lives started to quiet, and the beautiful, unique pieces of who we are were to rise. Imagine if the stories we tell brought us back to our true selves, back to one another. Imagine if they spoke of how we loved and lost and tried our best. How we saw it all, even the parts that hurt.Joanna Gaines' new book, The Stories We Tell, invites us on an authentic and deeply vulnerable journey into her story—and helps shine a light on the beauty of our own—guiding us to release the weights that hold us back so we may live and share our story in truth.We've all dropped anchor in places that suited us for a time: a city, a perspective, a lie we mistook as truth. This book is an invitation to a kind of life where you know how to hold what you believe—about yourself and the quiet worlds behind the people you pass—with gracious and open hands. To see your story as greater than any past or future thing, but for all the beauty and joy and hope it holds today.It’s an invitation to take stock of the chapters you’ve lived—the good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly—glean what’s gold, and carry only that forward. Let it slow your feet and steady your life-in-motion so you can see where you stand today from a new point of view. No longer through weary or uncertain eyes, but a lens brimming with hope.—————"The only way to break free was to rewrite my story. Because something would happen every time my pen stopped: It was like my soul was coming back to my body. Like the deepest parts of me that got knocked around and drowned out by all the crap I let the world convince me about who I was came back to the surface. And what was left was only what was real and true. I was, finally, standing in the fullness of my story. I felt hopeful. I felt full. Our story may crack us open, but it also pieces us back together.We all have a story to tell. This happens to be mine—every chapter a window into who I am, the journey I’m on, and the season I’m in right now. Because this is my story, maybe you won’t always relate, or maybe it will feel like you’re looking in a mirror. Whatever we have in common and whatever differences lie between us, I only hope my story can help shine a light on the beauty of yours. That my own soul work will stir something of your own. And that by the time you get to the end of my story, you’re also holding the beautiful beginnings of your own.A story only you can tell. And I hope that you will."-Joanna

  Reason and Revelation

  This is a work which challenges the agnostic and atheistic attitudes of modern science. As Gopi Krishna assesses the situation, “I know that Revelation has been right in predicting a glorious spiritual destiny for mankind and Reason has been grievously wrong. The marvels of technology we see around us, beyond a certain limit that has been passed, can become a prison for the evolving human mind.” He asserts that, in order to progress in a healthy way, science must free itself of the self-imposed, rigid and closed-minded attitudes that have limited its scope of investigation into non-physical realms of creation.
