Jesus Guide of My Life - Reflections for the Lenten Journey

Joyce Rupp

Summary

In Jesus, Guide of My Life, bestselling and award-winning author and retreat leader Joyce Rupp takes us by the hand this Lent to explore the words and actions of Jesus in the gospels so that his teachings and living presence can inspire our spiritual transformation.  In this third installment in her trilogy of Lenten daily reflection books, Rupp offers her insight and personal experience of the power of the Gospel to shape our lives. She explains that the wisdom and reassurance of Jesus can “pilot us when we are caught in the stormy weather of grief and serve as guardrails when our minds travel on roads made of worry and self-deprecation.” Rupp will help us connect with Jesus as not only a teacher, healer, and counselor who sets direction for our lives, but also as “the Way” (Jn 14:6) in whom we abide in divine love.  For each of the forty days of Lent, Rupp offers a brief reflection that opens new dimensions of a gospel account of Jesus’s ministry and applies his guidance to our lives today. She also includes a prayer and daily intention that invites us to spiritual growth and to reach fuller depths in our faith. Questions for personal reflection or group discussion are included.

Citizenship Without Illusions -...

David T. Koyzis

Christianity Today Book Awards Finalist—Politics and Public Life
How can Christians live as citizens of God's kingdom while also fulfilling their responsibilities as citizens of political communities? David Koyzis, author of Political Visions and Illusions, offers a brief, practical guide on political engagement and citizenship.
During numerous conversations with students and readers of his books in Canada, the United States, Brazil, Chile, the United Kingdom, and elsewhere, Koyzis has heard the same questions repeated. Can Christians participate in the public square without buying in to political illusions—ideologies that become idolatrous? Is it better to avoid politics than risk ethical compromise or division among believers? In Citizenship Without Illusions, Koyzis presents a case for political engagement as a way to love our neighbors that doesn't require our full devotion to parties or ideologies. He explores key topics such as:

- the responsibilities of citizens
- how to vote
- mobilizing for political action
- citizenship under less-than-ideal circumstances
- the importance of both local and global engagement
- the role of the church in society
Using examples from various eras and places, Koyzis guides readers to make the best of their own political situations, make thoughtful decisions, and promote societal diversity while respecting those who disagree. With clear understanding and confidence in their ultimate allegiance, Christians can employ their citizenship for the greater good.

The Longest Note

William Moody Jr

Josh Barnes was just nine when he received an invaluable gift from God: the ability to play guitar to the utmost perfection. He could recognize each note and play every chord to create the most beautiful melodies ever heard. In no time, he became the pride of his hometown, and many believed he was on the road to becoming the youngest and most talented guitarist of his time. 
However, his ambitions were thwarted when his niece, Elena, was diagnosed with cancer. Losing all hope, the only way he could ensure her survival and his brother's happiness was to make a deal with the Devil. The catch? He had to give up God's gift and never play his guitar again. 
Thus, the once-celebrated young talent of Comanche had to choose the dreary life of a truck driver, giving up his gift and his dreams so that his niece would get cured. But much to his disappointment, after being cured, Elena turned out to be quite selfish and caused much trouble to their family. 
The roads ahead of Josh were different from what he had dreamt of, but Josh refused to give up. Will he be able to fulfill all the conditions, or will Elena's temper drive him to break that deal?
