  What's the Least I Can Believe...

  Pastor and author Martin Thielen has compiled a list of ten things people need to believe, and ten things they don't, in order to be a Christian. This lively and engaging book will be a help to seekers as well as a comfort to believers who may find themselves questioning some of the assumptions they grew up with. With an accessible, storytelling style that's grounded in solid biblical scholarship, Thielen shows how Christians don't need to believe that sinners will be "left behind" to burn in hell or that it's heresy to believe in evolution. And while we must always take the Bible seriously, we don't always have to take it literally. 
   
   
   
  At the same time, Christians do need to believe in Jesus—his life, his teachings, his death and resurrection, and his vision for the world. A great benefit of those beliefs is that they provide promising answers to life's most profound questions. Thielen articulates centrist, mainline Christianity in a way that's easy to understand and offers authentic Christian insights that speak to our deepest needs. 
   
   
   
  This new edition includes a leader's guide and an introduction from the author that reflects on the book's reception. The leader's guide features unique and easily implemented aids for carrying out a seven-week, congregation-wide initiative that will help local churches reach out to their communities.

  Hope - Inspiring Optimism in...

  Hope is a force that fuels resilience, strengthens determination, and inspires people to push forward even in the darkest moments. It is not just wishful thinking but a deep-seated belief that better days lie ahead. When faced with adversity, hope becomes a guiding light, illuminating possibilities that might otherwise remain unseen. It empowers individuals to rise above setbacks, transforming challenges into opportunities for growth. 
  Why hope matters in difficult times is evident in the way it shapes human responses to hardship. Those who embrace hope tend to navigate struggles with a sense of purpose and persistence. It provides the emotional strength needed to endure uncertainty, offering reassurance that no storm lasts forever. People who hold on to hope are more likely to take proactive steps toward improvement rather than surrender to despair. 
  The science behind optimism reveals that hope is more than an abstract concept—it has tangible effects on mental and physical well-being. Studies suggest that individuals with a hopeful outlook experience lower stress levels, improved immunity, and a greater ability to cope with life’s difficulties. The brain, when wired for optimism, releases chemicals that promote motivation and resilience. This neurological response reinforces the idea that hope is not only beneficial but essential for overall health and success.

  The Defiant Middle - How Women...

  For every woman, from the young to those in midlife and beyond, who has ever been told, "You can't" and thought, "Oh, I definitely will!"—this book is for you. 
   
   
   
  Women are expected to be many things. They should be young enough, but not too young; old enough, but not too old; creative, but not crazy; passionate, but not angry. They should be fertile and feminine and self-reliant, not barren or butch or solitary. Women, in other words, are caught between social expectations and a much more complicated reality. 
   
   
   
  Women who don't fit in, whether during life transitions or because of changes in their body, mind, or gender identity, are carving out new ways of being in and remaking the world. But this is nothing new: they have been doing so for thousands of years, often at the margins of the same religious traditions and cultures that created these limited ways of being for women in the first place. 
   
   
   
  In The Defiant Middle, Kaya Oakes draws on the wisdom of women mystics and explores how transitional eras or living in marginalized female identities can be both spiritually challenging and wonderfully freeing, ultimately resulting in a reinvented way of seeing the world and changing it.

  Mirror to the Church -...

  We learn who we are as we walk together in the way of Jesus. So I want to invite you on a pilgrimage. Rwanda is often held up as a model of evangelization in Africa. Yet in 1994, beginning on the Thursday of Easter week, Christians killed other Christians, often in the same churches where they had worshiped together. The most Christianized country in Africa became the site of its worst genocide. With a mother who was a Hutu and a father who was a Tutsi, author Emmanuel Katongole is uniquely qualified to point out that the tragedy in Rwanda is also a mirror reflecting the deep brokenness of the church in the West. Rwanda brings us to a cry of lament on our knees where together we learn that we must interrupt these patterns of brokenness But Rwanda also brings us to a place of hope. Indeed, the only hope for our world after Rwanda’s genocide is a new kind of Christian identity for the global body of Christ—a people on pilgrimage together, a mixed group, bearing witness to a new identity made possible by the Gospel.
