  Two workplace rivals. One festive competition. And a romance that upends it all. 
   
  Every December two things are guaranteed for graphic designer Mackenzie Graham--Christmas celebrations and the annual promotion at her workplace. Those two things are by no means mutually exclusive. In fact, the better an employee is at harnessing the Christmas spirit, the more likely they'll win the new job. With her social anxiety, Mackenzie never thought she'd be a contender in her company's holiday competition, so how exactly has she found herself dueling her workplace crush with wrapping paper tubes and using tinsel as her weapon of choice for a much-needed raise? 
   
  Jeremy Fletcher's life is meticulously planned out, including how to win this year's promotion at work. Not only will the new position fulfill some of his career goals, but as a single guardian to his twin niece and nephew, he needs the salary increase to support his family. Jeremy has barely noticed Mackenzie Graham around the office, but now that she's his rival, he can't stop thinking about her. Her quirkiness intrigues him, and he's afraid that if he can't get his head on straight, the promotion isn't the only thing he'll end up losing to Mackenzie.

  You Are a Tree - And Other...

  Sometimes we describe ourselves as trees. When we're thriving, we speak of being rooted and fruitful, in a good season. When we struggle, we might describe ourselves as withering, cut off from friendship and the world. These ways of describing ourselves matter because they shape the ways we live. 
   
   
   
  But in a world dominated by efficiency, we have begun to use more unforgiving metaphors. We speak of ourselves as computers: we process things, we recharge. In doing so, we come to expect of ourselves an exhausting, relentless productivity. 
   
   
   
  You Are a Tree examines how the metaphorical descriptions we use in everyday life shape the way we think, pray, and live. Weaving together meditations on our common human experiences, poetry, Scripture, and the Christian tradition, Joy Marie Clarkson explores how metaphors help us understand things like wisdom, security, love, change, and sadness. 
   
   
   
  This book invites you to pay attention—to your experiences, and to the words you use to describe them. That attention reveals a richly layered and meaningful world, a refreshing perspective that nurtures wonder, gratitude, and hope.

  Modern Christians have a lot of questions about how we should relate to politics. Should governments promote Christianity? Can politics ever be neutral? What is the proper relationship between church and state? 
  But what if our understanding of Christianity and politics is fundamentally flawed... 
  This work is the result of needing to rethink political theology in recent years. In it, James Baird presents a bold and compelling case for a radical proposition: that government must promote Christianity as the only true religion. King of Kings offers a concise and compelling introduction to the Reformed Protestant view of civil government and Christianity’s role in public life. Drawing from Scripture, church history, the Reformed confessions, and early American political thought, James Baird argues that civil rulers are not morally neutral but accountable to Jesus Christ, the King of Kings. 
  Accessible for pastors, students, and thoughtful laymen alike, King of Kings serves as a helpful primer for anyone seeking to think carefully about civic responsibility, public morality, and the lordship of Christ over all of life. 
  Inside this book, readers will find:A biblical case for the role of civil governmentHistorical insight from the Reformed tradition and American foundersResponses to modern assumptions about neutrality and pluralismA concise introduction to Protestant political theology

  Redemptive Deconstruction - A...

  When I began my deconstruction journey, what I found were people on the right who saw deconstruction as a threat to their positions of power and refused to deal with the dysfunction, abuse and political extremism in the church. On the left are people who are more concerned with social justice causes than the moral obligations and commands found in scripture. So, I saw a need and have attempted to fill it. Redemptive Deconstruction takes on the extremism of the far-right and the far-left simultaneously. This not a comfortable place to be in, but I feel it’s more in line with what Jesus and the Apostles taught. If you’re someone like me, who still believes the bible means what it says but are disgusted by the corruption and abuse in the Evangelical church, then this book is for you. In this book, I present an honest, yet positive path forward for the Evangelical church. It’s a path that honors the truth of scripture and promotes renewal within the church. It’s time to burn off the chaff and dross of dead religion and find our life in Jesus again. If this is you, you are not alone.
